The Ideal Body Building Diet
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
When it comes to building muscle, getting stronger, and shedding body fat, there isn’t a single action or category that can help to accomplish this goal. Rather, it is a combination of factors that work together to help the individual transform his physique. The body must be trained using weights. This exercise, over time, requires the muscles of the body to adapt and grow. They only grow when they are resting, which means sleep is an integral ingredient in the muscle building process. Finally, the food we eat provides energy for training and building blocks (in the form of amino acids) for muscle recovery, and therefore growth.

The body building diet is perhaps the most important aspect of the bodybuilding success factor combination. At the very top levels of the sport, all of the guys are training very hard 5 or 6 days per week. They’re all using as much growth hormone and testosterone as the body can handle. At the elite level, the foods that they consume as well as the foods they don’t consume, in addition to the frequency of meals, leads to the champion physiques we see onstage. Well, that, and genetics as well!

The ideal body building diet will consist of a good mix of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Let’s examine each category and work to define which foods should be consumed to match the bodybuilder’s requirements for each of these valuable macronutrients.

Protein
The bodybuilder should be consuming between 40 and 50 grams of protein at each of hi 5 to 6 daily meals. This equates to 200 to 300 grams per day. Your protein food sources should include beef, chicken, pork, eggs, and whey protein. Avoid sources such as jerky which bring high levels of fat and sodium into the equation.

Carbohydrates
Counting carbohydrate grams isn’t nearly as important as it is with protein measurements. As long as each meal consists of 1 to 2 sources of clean, slow-burning carb fuel, and the bodybuilder isn’t getting tired in and out of the gym, then the needs of the bodybuilder are being met.

Fat
Always limit your fat intake at each meal to 10 grams or less. Ideally, the fats you consume each day should come from clean, healthy sources such as natural peanut butter, egg yolks, and flax seed oil.

It should be noted that in addition to these three categories of macronutrients, the ideal body building diet should include plenty of water, daily multi-vitamins, and lots of sunshine. Remember that your training and sleep also need to be at optimal levels in order for the foods you consume to lead to new muscle growth. If you are looking to compete at the state or even national levels, then it is going to be important to also consider the influence that anabolic steroids such as injectable testosterone have upon the muscle building, and food utilization process. The natural bodybuilder using a standard body building diet will only be able to absorb about 300 grams of protein daily. The ‘assisted’ bodybuilder will end up making use of 400 or more grams of protein daily. Always raise your protein intake significantly if you are using AAS, and drink plenty of water as well to keep your kidneys safe.

Supplements for Building Muscle
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
Are you searching for supplements to build muscle? Have your recent Google and Bing searches left you more lost and confused than when you began? Are the pages of this month’s muscle magazine glossy and graphic, but offering you little useful information? Never fear. You’re in the right place. Let’s look at four of the most useful supplements for building muscle. Once you’ve given the four of them a shot, you will have a solid foundation of knowledge with supplements, and you will be ready to move on to more advanced products.

Creatine
The ability to retain water is one of the chief reasons bodybuilders use anabolic steroids. Granted, there are other reasons, which include greater protein absorption and increased recovery ability. Creatine works to make you bigger and stronger by forcing your body to hold more of the water you drink – in the muscle fibers! Users typically report a few pounds of muscle swelling, along with superior strength on most of their major lifts. Always be sure to drink adequate water when using creatine. Failure to do so can place undue stress upon your kidneys and make for some pretty uncomfortable bowel movements. However, proper use of creatine can leave you 5 to 8 pounds bigger, and much stronger in the gym!

Glutamine
Staying healthy is important for building muscle. Glutamine is one of the most popular supplements for building muscle because it helps to condition your immune system to handle more of what life throws at you. Whether the stress is from your job, from the gym, or any kind of illness a well-meaning loved one passes your way, glutamine makes you stronger and better at defeating illness, stress, and other obstacles to bodybuilding growth.

Tridenosen H
If better muscle recovery is your goal (and it very well should be!) then TridenosenH should be very high on your list of supplements for building muscle. This supplement helps you be more explosive on major movements, delivers nutrients to your muscle fibers faster following workouts, and improves natural hormone production, including those of testosterone and growth hormone. It also helps deliver faster expulsion of metabolic waste, resulting in less soreness.

Multi-vitamins
A simple daily regimen of vitamins is often neglected by people spending hundreds of dollars per year on bodybuilding supplements, and this seems to make little to no sense. Not only are vitamins pre-requisite for complete health, but they also play key roles in the muscle building processes of your body. A healthy body is much better at building and keeping muscle. A person who is ill all of the time simply can’t grow like a person who stays healthy. Your daily regimen should include a multi vitamin, as well as vitamins E, C, and B. Fish oil should be consumed with meals as well.

All of the supplements for building muscle in the world won’t help your cause, if you’re not kicking butt in the gym and sleeping eight hours each night. Train hard, supplement right, and take care of yourself – and muscle gain will follow!

Prohormone Supplements: The Middle Road
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
Prohormone supplements hold what can only be described as a very unique niche in the bodybuilding market. We’re all very much aware of what anabolic steroids are, and the effects they have upon the body. We know that normal mortals have been transformed into monsters in just a year or two using anabolic steroids. Nobody denies their powers. Rather, most bodybuilders wish they had the courage or connections to purchase actual steroids. However, the roadblocks to purchase are many. Receiving, ordering, and possessing anabolic steroids is a felony and can leave one looking at hefty fines and possible jail time. Any public exposure from this can create a very negative stigma. Family, friends and co-workers will consider you a cheater or worse, a drug user, simply because you choose to boost your body’s natural testosterone production to add some size to your body. You’re not exactly a junkie robbing convenience stores to feed your habit, but they’ll look at you the same way.

On the other end of the spectrum sits a category known as supplements. There are sometimes effective, but certainly considered to be lower octane than anabolic steroids. They can range from quite effective, which is the case of creatine, to extremely ineffective, which is the case of dozens upon dozens of supplements which have come and gone in the last 40 years. For bodybuilders without the ability to use anabolic steroids, starting with supplements is the right way to go. For beginner and intermediate trainers, supplements do deliver a ‘bump’ which makes recovery faster and the results seen in the gym better. But at the advanced level, where many guys are actually endorsing lines of supplements, most guys don’t use them. Ironic, isn’t it?

Finally, we reach the middle-of-the-road category known as prohormone supplements. This category of supplements is relatively new in the bigger scheme of things. There was no need for prohormone supplements back in the 1980s and before, when steroids were legal. And the way legislation is going, it might not be too long before this category is completely eradicated. So what exactly as prohormone supplements? Simply put, they are mild version of oral steroids. They are created so that on the molecular level, they are somewhat different from existing steroids which are illegal. They are just as effective.

Prohormone supplements can be wildly effective when used for very short periods of time. Ideally, they should be used for 6 to 8 weeks at a time, as directed on the label. This fits perfectly for pre-contest athletes looking to ‘grow into’ a show and hold existing muscle while adding a few pounds of beef, as they get lean. Or, to kick of an off-season mass-gaining effort, prohormone supplements can be ideal. There can be problems that arise when prohormone supplements are used for very long periods of time. Some of their side effects can be equal to – or even worse – than those experienced by users of anabolic steroids. Used in moderation, however, they do provide a viable alternative to actual steroid use.

How Long Should Your 1st Prohormone Cycle Last?
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
So you have decided to embark upon your very first adventure known as a prohormone cycle! Without a doubt, you are going to enjoy the results that you are about to see. A prohormone cycle is very similar to a steroid cycle. You can’t run it as long, and it’s going to be a lot more intense, but in the end you’re probably going to see some serious muscle and strength gain, coupled with some fat loss, without the detriment of too much harm to your body.

Length

Standard steroid cycles can last up to 16 weeks, depending upon the intensity of compounds you are running. A simple cycle of 400 mg of Testosterone Cypionate could be run for up to four months, if needed. Your liver probably wouldn’t experience too much stress from such a low dose. Granted, if you decided to add 200 mg per week of Deca to your stack, it would suddenly become necessary to limit it to 10 to 12 weeks. The more compounds you added, the more intense the cycle would become – and thus the more negative the side effects. Prohormones, as you may know, are some seriously intense compounds. Many have been banned because, well, they’re just too powerful for some users who tend to use them for too long. If you are ready to run a prohormone cycle, then you are going to want to keep it limited to 6 to 8 weeks at a time, depending upon the instructions that come with the compound. Ideally, you will also want to have a doctor check your blood levels to ensure your liver enzymes don’t jump in too significant of a manner during this stretch as well. Staying on a prohormone cycle too long might feel good at first, but the negative changes you’ll see in the long run certainly won’t be worth it.

Intensity

As mentioned, prohormone cycles are very intense. Be prepared for this. Give your body a break before and after running each cycle. If you are sick or recovering from a serious illness, hold off on the cycle until you feel you are ready. There is nothing wrong with putting off a prohormone cycle. The gains will always be there when you’re ready.

Frequency

Following each cycle of 6 to 8 weeks, give your body a break of 8 to 10 weeks to fully recover from the cycle you just subjected it to. We aren’t machines. We are living beings who are very fragile when it comes to exposing our internal organs to stressful compounds. Don’t risk your health by running prohormone cycles too often.

Obtaining compounds

Choose a prohormone supplement that will be readily available should you like it, and wish to return to using it down the road. Many supplements are offered by new companies which quickly fail, or the supplement themselves are quickly banned. Instead, choose a supplement such as Mesobolin, Oral Testibol, or others that have been around for years, delivering solid results to users.

Mass Gain Supplements & Mass Gain Season
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
It is mass gain supplement time, and you know that what means! For a bodybuilder who is tired of measuring calories and counting fat grams, “off” and “season” are probably the two most inviting words in the English language. After spending what seems like an eternity (but was in actuality only 10 to 16 weeks) in a restrictive state, surviving only on clean foods and suffering through daily cardio bouts, the off-season offers the user a chance to cut loose, stop counting and restricting for a while, and focus upon what bodybuilding is truly about – building new muscle!

The off-season is a time to pay special attention to diet, despite the suddenly lax restrictions. You don’t have to worry about limiting certain macronutrients or calories. Rather, you have to be particularly cognizant of our numbers as you work to meet them on a daily basis. You will want to hit you 3500 calories goal each day. You will work hard to consume 350 grams of protein daily – and not a single gram less! Water is essential as well. You’ll need to make sure you are drinking 2 quarts to one full gallon daily, at a minimum!

In addition to the diet, you’ll need to have your training factors nailed down if you wish to proceed in the best mass gain time of your life. Your training should be heavy and uncomfortable. You should be sore as you leave the gym each day, and even sorer when you wake up in the morning and the effects o DOMS begin to fully set in. you should be using movements such as barbell rowing, dumbbell presses (incline and flat), and plenty of squats, leg presses, and deadlifts. This isn’t the time to take it easy. You need to earn the ability to eat all those sloppy calories, and lifting heavy does in fact allow that!

Finally, you will want to choose a mass gain supplement (or two) to help you recover a bit quicker from these tough workouts, as well as to give you the energy you need to make each successive workout tougher than the last. You should start by adding whey protein to two of your daily meal slots. This will not only give you a solid shot of protein in the middle of the day when you need it most, but also make you hungrier for the next meal. Whey protein doesn’t contain fat, which means it will be very quickly digested by the body. Within a half hour of your whey scoops with water, your muscle fibers will be enjoying a rush of amino acids. This will help them recovery and bring them back stronger the next day when your workout rolls around.

If getting sick during this reckless off-season is an issue, then the mass gain supplement known as glutamine might be your best bet. Include a multi-vitamin with your daily meals, and an Omega-3 in the form of fish oil caplets with each meal. Above all, stay positive, lift hard and consistent, and enjoy the off-season!

The Top Building Mass Supplement
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
What is the best building mass supplement in the world? Chances are you are immediately going to toss out guesses ranging from powders to oils to pills, etc. The true answer, for the bodybuilder trying to add 20 pounds of muscle mass to his frame along with 50 pounds to his bench press, squat and deadlift, is none of these. For the best building mass supplement of all is – without a doubt - Steak!

Unfortunately, steak isn’t something that you can keep in a backpack and slam down in 30 seconds as you run from class to class. You can’t broil a steak in your car in a shaker cup as you sit at a red light between business meetings. And, since steak contains a fair amount of fat – which is good for building new muscle mass and hormonal objectives, but slows amino acid digestion following a tough workout – it’s not the answer for all of your protein needs. No, the tried and true, best building mass supplement in the world is the one which is probably the most bland, boring, and predictable: Whey protein.

Whey protein is a very high quality protein source which is digested by the body very quickly. Following a tough workout, whey can be consumed about ten minutes after you touch the last weight or piece of cardiovascular exercise equipment. This leaves you enough time to hit the showers, grab a shaker cup with a scoop of waxy maize for faster absorption, and get to re-feeding your muscles! Whey protein has a protein rating of 100, and is essentially the ‘perfect food’. It is rated better than chicken, better than milk, better than eggs, and yes, even better than steak. Derived from milk and egg sources, it is without question the most pure protein you can give your body for muscle growth and repair. Whey should be a daily part of every bodybuilder’s diet, filling that morning and afternoon meal gaps.

The supplement market is no doubt saturated with lots of products promising 543% greater anabolic function, 125% faster absorption, and the like. These products are no doubt backed by the very same companies which sell whey protein. They have the manufacturing and marketing infrastructure in place to produce, sell, and market not only whey protein, but a variety of other complementary products as well. Sadly, these other products don’t have the science and history of whey. They might- someday. But today they are just swimming in the sea of products with shiny labels and not much else.

Going beyond whey, you can find many supplements which can continue to greater gains by adding new factors to your bodybuilding lifestyle. Oral Testibol or Mesobolin will raise your testosterone levels. Derma-Tropin hGH™ by Isa-Pharm™ will elevate your blood levels of growth hormone. However, these supplements should only be used by serious bodybuilders who have already nailed down the arts of protein nutrition, consistent training, and who are already supplementing regularly with whey protein – and enjoying a nice steak from time to time!

Muscle Gaining Supplements – Purchasing Factors
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
When it comes to selecting the best muscle gaining supplements, new bodybuilders are often left scratching their heads as they scan the many listings on bodybuilding websites and advertisements in magazines. There just seem to be so many supplements to choose from! They all seem to offer the world. How many different effects can a single supplement have? With the many glossy packages and creative marketing campaigns, you might think they somehow manage to reinvent the wheel every single year. The truth is, supplements slowly evolve but their packaging and advertising seems to get better each month. It can be confusing for new buyers of muscle gaining supplements, but we can help to make it easier. Here are some criteria you should follow when selecting the muscle gaining supplements that are best for you.

Consider Your Goals
Choose a supplement that promises to deliver the results that you seek. Obviously, no single supplement is going to ‘do it all’. However, if you wish to gain muscle mass, then you aren’t going to want to choose a fat burner, right? Likewise, if it’s time to get lean for a contest, then a compound designed to add mass and bloat to your body isn’t going to be ideal, right? Think about what you wish to achieve, and then choose a supplement accordingly.

Price Range
There are some seriously expensive muscle gaining supplements out there, right? If you have the money to spend, and you think it would be a solid investment, then by all means you should consider taking the plunge and giving them a shot. On the other hands, if you are strapped for cash in this cash-poor economy, then you are going to wish to hold off and select a supplement a bit more in your price range.

Health & Family History
Many muscle gaining supplements are completely safe. However, some – particularly prohormone supplements – can be very harsh to the body. If you have a history of liver problems or your family suffers from liver ailments early, then it is probably not going to be in your best interest to use strong compounds such as prohormones. On the other hand, if you lost a kidney as a youth, then creatine or any diuretic are going to be supplements which are definitely on the no-no list.

Keep Records
You never want to make the same mistake twice. Likewise, you never want to miss out on an incredible opportunity to repeat wonderful results. Each time you purchase a new supplement, you should record your results. This way, a year down the road when you’re thinking about buying it again, you will know exactly how well it worked for you, what results you saw, and if it was actually worth the money you invested. Plus, if any health issues do arise (rare but possible), you will be able to check your supplementation records and determine if the supplements you were taking were in any way related to the issues you are suddenly facing.

The Best Prohormones: Three Questions
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
Are you looking for the absolute best prohormones known to man?
If that’s the case, then you are going to need a time machine! About five years back, the powers that be known as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decided that the current crop of pro-hormone supplements sitting on store shelves everywhere were simply too powerful. Were they right? Well, technically, yes! The crop of pro-hormones that were readily available in the years 2000 through 2004 were incredible. They were, in effect, harsh oral steroids. You couldn’t use them for months at a time (although some users did!) due to their toxicity. But as you probably already know, it is the most toxic steroids that are also the most effective! For years, bodybuilders had free reign o compounds that were affordable, readily available, and right on par with Anadrol in terms of effectiveness in adding muscle mass and strength! What happened? You can probably guess. Some bodybuilders decided their best course of action was to completely ignore dosing instructions, and stay ‘ON’ all the time, without break. The result was a slew of emergency room visits for bodybuilders complaining of HPTA system shutdown, liver polyps, and worse. And you can guess where that led! Soon, prohormones were on the chopping block, and any company that made them was subject to DEA raids and other troubles! Today, you can still locate some prohormones, but they are quickly pounced upon by the FDA for being, well, just too darn effective!

Are you looking for something better than the best prohormones?
If this is your situation, then you should make a doctor’s appointment, sink your own natural testosterone production using every known means for a month, then see if you can convince your doctor to deliver you a prescription for legal testosterone supplementation! Once you have that in your hot little hand, you can walk into any pharmacy and obtain the several hundred mg per week dose that you have been searching for all along. Is the point clear to you? If you want something better than the best prohormones, then you are going to need to make that giant step up to the world of actual anabolic steroids!

Okay, are you ready to settle for the best prohormones currently available to bodybuilders?
If this is your case, then you are going to want to check out the new generation of supplements available to bodybuilders – which is actually based upon decades of research into the worlds of anabolic steroids. You see, for years, companies, physicians, and sports nutrition researchers have been studying what aspects of anabolic steroids make them most effective. The pathways they take, the neurological connections they make, etc. They have been using this research to fund the knowledge base for non-steroidal compounds that lead to steroid-like gains. Their findings aren’t invisible – you see them on the Olympic track as well as every weekend when you see professional sports events! Look into supplements such as Oral Testibol, Mesobolin, and TridenosenH if you would like to learn more!

Selecting the Best Supplements for Testosterone
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
What are the best supplements for testosterone? That question is often asked by bodybuilders and powerlifters seeking to boost their body’s own natural testosterone production levels. They are well aware of the power of anabolic steroids, which would provide an extremely large boost in their natural testosterone levels. However, whether because they fear the sudden drop in testosterone levels that follow a cycle, or because they just can’t get their hands upon steroids, they can’t use them. So, they resort to seeking supplements for testosterone level assistance. But where is the best place to begin?

The truth is that most of the products sold at your local GNC or Vitamin Shoppe aren’t going to do much to boost your body’s testosterone levels. They can help with recovery, and perhaps give you more energy in the form of caffeine, but they aren’t going to raise the level of testosterone present in the bloodstream. The clerk behind the counter will offer to sell you the sun and the moon, but the reality is that the government is very good at quickly recognizing then banning the sale of products which boost testosterone levels once they reach the mainstream, because they are then, in effect, anabolic steroids. The entire class of pro-hormones was wildly popular in the early 2000s because they were, in fact, potent oral steroids. They reached mainstream status and quickly found themselves banned.

Luckily for you (if you are in the market for supplements for testosterone boosting), there are supplements that do exist which can actually boost testosterone production in your body. You will see them for a short while, and then they will disappear. Why? Usually they will be banned once the government notices just how effective they really are. As of January 4, 2010, a great deal of supplements you used to be able to purchase for testosterone assistance will no longer be available. However, Oral Testibol is one supplement which you will still be able to purchase.

Oral Testibol works much in the manner of the wildly popular Methyl-Testosterone, increasing muscle mass and strength while at the same time lowering body fat levels. The muscles will experience a “new ceiling” when training. This equates to more repetitions, with more weights used, with less time needed between sets. In other words, you’ll enjoy many of the benefits of using anabolic steroids, without actually using them. Oral Testibol remains legal and available, and perhaps the best supplement currently available for raising testosterone levels.

Remember that this and all supplements are only designed to assist you in your bodybuilding journey. You still have to dedicate 4 to 6 days a week to weight training and cardiovascular exercise. You still must sleep eight hours per night. You can’t miss meals – protein, carbs and fats must arrive in the correct ratios – if you want to give your body the tools it needs to repair and recover from your tough workouts. Oral Testibol is a very good tool, but you must have all the other factors in place as well.

Testosterone Enhancer – The Best Way to Combat Natural Testosterone Production?
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
Testosterone is a compound which occurs naturally in your body. As a youth, the levels are nominal. As you reach puberty, they suddenly skyrocket. They will peak in your teenage years, around age 19 or 20. From there, the rest of your life will be a continuous battle against the ever-present, slowly but surely gradual decline of your body’s blood testosterone levels. By the time you reach old age, you will no doubt suffer from extremely low testosterone levels.

Take a look at the levels of aggression, muscle mass, strength, and body fat that are present along the same testosterone time-line. As a youth (up until age 12 or so), you aren’t very strong and you don’t have much muscle mass. Aggression isn’t an issue either, right? Suddenly, you start puberty, testosterone levels rise, and everything changes. The mild-mannered seventh grader is suddenly angry and aggressive. He’s stronger than ever, and some muscle mass become obvious. There is often the loss of “baby fat” during this time as well. It isn’t a coincidence – it’s the effects of suddenly elevated testosterone in the body! As the years pass and the person enters his 20s and 30s, it becomes harder each year to stave off body fat, retain and build new muscle mass, find stamina and aggression, and grow stronger. By the time the 50s, 60s, and 70s arrive, the circumstances are obvious. You possess very little muscle mass. Energy is low, and sexual performance is often non-existent. You’re not strong any more, and it’s very easy to add body fat. Most people just consider it to be getting old, but the truth is that it’s simply the natural decline of the body’s blood testosterone levels that are causing these issues.

You have a choice. You can let your body’s testosterone levels drop each year, or you can fight is. Many bodybuilders (and everyday Joe's) seek out a testosterone enhancer to help boost their natural levels. Anabolic steroids are certainly one such testosterone enhancer, but only in the short term. Even if you can overcome the legal and financial obstacle to use, you still have to contend with the plummeting testosterone levels following your cycle.

One solution to this problem which all men face as they age is the use of a testosterone enhancer known as Mesobolin. This supplement doesn’t introduce new testosterone into your bloodstream, which would stifle your own natural testosterone production further following the cycle. Rather, Mesobolin works by increasing the presence of ecdysterones in the body. These hormones bump up your testosterone levels naturally, without disrupting the function of the testes or the pituitary gland, preserving HPTA system integrity. This means you can use a supplement like Mesobolin year-round as well, keeping your natural testosterone levels higher without any long-term or short-term damage to the body. True anabolic steroids can only be used five months per year.

If you’re ready to fight back when nature comes a’ calling for your testosterone levels, the testosterone enhancer known as Mesobolin might be a great place to start!

The Top Two Mass Building Supplements
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
The best mass building supplements are, simply put, whatever will make you grow. For some bodybuilders, particularly beginners, it is something as simple as two meals a day of steak and eggs that deliver enough fats, protein, and raw calories to facilitate new muscle growth. Others will have already mastered the art of the diet, and will find creatine to meet their needs when it comes to filling out the muscle groups. Still others will find supplements such as Mesobolin to fit the bill when it comes to adding a few extra pounds on the bar every time, along with being able to knock out a few extra reps each time. Finally, there is a group of elite bodybuilders that won’t react to supplements anymore. For them, anabolic steroids are the only option.

If you have already nailed down the diet aspect, and you aren’t quite ready to venture into the world of anabolic steroids, then you are probably in that ‘middle’ phase when mass building supplements will have the most effect. They won’t work much for advanced steroid users, because this group is already getting every possible amount of protein grams from their food. Plus, they aren’t likely to work with optimal effect for beginner bodybuilders, who will be gaining muscle no matter what thanks to the optimal response to training that bodybuilders enjoy at the beginning. For those ‘middle’ bodybuilders, here are a few of the best mass building supplements you should consider!

It’s been fifteen years or so since creatine made its way onto the bodybuilding scene, and in that time it has been both the most researched – and most widely sold – supplement. Without a doubt, creatine works for about 85% of users. There is a small group of users who just cannot seem to gain weight on it. However, most users of creatine will enjoy a body weight jump of 5 to 15 pounds within a month of starting the supplement, as their body’s creatine content levels rise. Creatine is present in beef and some other foods we eat, but only in minuscule amounts. The supplement creatine is amazingly effective in that it allows users to hold more of the water they drink, within their individual muscle cells. This leads to biceps, pectorals, and quads that hang off the bone. The muscle groups are bigger, and they are able to move 5 to 10 percent more weight. Over time, moving more weight leads to new muscle gains. The temporary spike in strength that creatine delivers often leads to a permanent gain in muscle mass!

Mesobolin is another supplement that many bodybuilders, powerlifters, and other athletes have been enjoying for years. This supplement – still legal and readily available – works to raise the body’s natural testosterone levels slowly and surely. Red blood cell production climbs, and maximum blood flow efficiency is achieved. Workouts last longer, and the bodybuilder is able to make more of his time in the gym with a few extra reps with a few extra pounds, on every set.

Rating The Three Best Mass Supplements
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
If you want to build mass, then you have to play the “mass game” from all the right directions. You are going to gain weight. This is undeniable. You’ll need to say goodbye to your lovely six pack of abdominals for about six months when you make this journey, but the results will be well worth it! The addition of 7 to 15 pounds of fat will allow your body to put on 10 to 15 pounds of muscle in what should be a 6 to 9 month span of an off-season.

You’ll need to lift heavier than you ever have before, preferably with the help of a personal trainer or at the very least, training partner. Deadlifts, bench press, squats and military presses should be the fundamental basis for your training, along with plenty of curls, skull-crushers, and rows. Your diet should include about 400 to 600 daily calories in surplus of what your body needs. This will ensure you gain some weight, but not a great deal of fat. Additionally, you will want to employ the use of some supplements to help speed up your recovery process and shuttle some amino acids to your muscle groups. Let’s check those out.

Whey Protein
At least one meal per day (preferably two) should contain two scoops of whey protein. This will deliver a quick and easily digestible (about 30 to 45 minutes digest time) shot of protein to the muscle cells, coupled with a steady stream of amino acids to the muscle fibers that have been recently trained. Post-workout whey shakes of 2 to 3 scoops (40 to 60 grams of protein) are a standard staple for bodybuilders.

It should be noted that while many bodybuilders will consume whey protein before bedtime, the fast digestion nature of this protein makes it a less-than optimal choice. Rather, the bodybuilder should look into a good casein protein blend, which can take up to 8 hours for the bodybuilder to digest. Some bodybuilders will often opt for a soy protein blend. However, there are some studies that suggest soy can lower your body’s testosterone levels. In this case, it might be safer to err on the side of caution, and avoid this protein altogether!

Creatine
Bigger, fuller muscles can move more weight. This is obvious science to most. Creatine makes your muscles bigger and fuller by causing them to retain a great deal of water. Most steroid users don’t need creatine for this mass gain purposes, as AAS causes a good amount of water retention. However, naturals can benefit tremendously from the use of creatine. Since its inception, creatine has ranked among the top best mass supplements.

Derma-Tropin hGH by Isa-Pharm
Growth hormone (so far) is the top bodybuilding drug of the 2000s, very popular with athletes of all sports, plus used quite frequently by men of advancing age. Users experience a rejuvenation of skin, muscle strength, fat loss, and sexual vitality when using this drug. For those who cannot afford the monster price tag associated with actual human growth hormone, Derma-Tropin hGH helps by delivering multiple shots of growth hormone daily – with each meal – making it one of the best mass supplements you can get!

Finding The Best Steroid Replacement
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
Are you a bodybuilder seeking a steroid replacement? First off, it should be noted that this is a goal that can never actually be reached. Nothing can completely match the effects of anabolic steroids. They are highly unique in that they completely propel natural testosterone blood levels to such a degree that new muscle and strength gains (far beyond what can be done with traditional exercise and diet) can be reached. In other words, they deliver something to the athlete that is considered super-human. No man in the history of the earth ever looked like Mr. Olympia winners Jay Cutler or Ronnie Coleman until they did it. A million years of walking the planet, and in forty years, this new class of bodybuilders has far eclipsed what men were able to achieve in that time.

Somehow, they did it. Bodybuilders used what is without a doubt the most incredible class of chemicals in history to transform the body. Men have been able to actually double their bodyweight in just 3 or 4 years. And as a result, these insanely new and unique physiques have been plastered on countless gym and garage walls by young trainers hoping to emulate what has been accomplished by their idols.

Granted, we all know that the average natural bodybuilder isn’t going to be able to achieve anything near the muscularity and sheer mass as his bodybuilding idols. This often leads to a major letdown as the young naïve gym rat discovers his idols have been running drugs for decades, allowing them to reach such gargantuan measures – all while hocking supplements and claiming they are the cause.

Your best bet is to attempt to attain actual steroids. No steroid replacement will work as well as the real thing. Work with your physician and see if he can deliver a prescription your way, which will allow you to walk into a pharmacy and obtain the lifetime supply of 200 mg weekly Testosterone Enanthate that you desire so much. If you conduct your research, demonstrate a need, and show some initiative, your physician might just work with you and write you the desired prescription. Otherwise, you may have to join the ranks of ‘the rest of us’, the millions of bodybuilders looking for a shortcut to muscle mass in the form of a steroid replacement.

Mesobolin is one supplement you may want to check into, if indeed you want steroid-like gains from a non-steroid compound. This supplement is affordable and readily available, and mimics the effects seen when using oral testosterone drugs such as Methyl-Testosterone. Not only bodybuilders have found Mesobolin useful for spiking testosterone levels naturally. Many athletes in track, field, football, hockey, and most other major sports have found it to deliver a much-needed edge on the field.

Beyond that, the bodybuilder may want to graduate and look into the use of Oral Testibol, which delivers very fast and potent shots of testosterone hormone elevation for the powerlifter, bodybuilder, or any athlete needing a sudden rush of aggression and strength. If your goal is to stimulate the muscle group in a way greater than you have at any point before, then Mesobolin is probably going to be your best bet.

Best Muscle Building Supplements
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
Since the first muscle man discovered he could pick up a weight repeatedly and make his body bigger and stronger, muscle builders have been looking for shortcuts to helping their bodies recover faster from their workouts, and grow more quickly following solid nutrition. In the beginning, as you may recall, the pages of muscle magazines were filled with Charles Atlas ads, pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and of course, dozens of advertisements for muscle building powders. Over time, the magazines have become thicker, the advertisements have become glossier, and the quality of product – the very best muscle building supplements – has only gotten better!

Chances are good that if you are a bodybuilder, then you are seeking any supplement that will help to increase your body’s testosterone levels. The most important supplement a bodybuilder can get, if this is indeed the goal, would probably be Oral Testibol. This compound helps the bodybuilder to enjoy a bump in the body’s testosterone levels. As you probably already know, testosterone is the magic ingredient in everything we do related to bodybuilding. When T levels rise, the amount of muscle you carry on your body increases as well. When testosterone levels increase, strength levels, both 1 rep maximum, and overall repping, are maximized and increased as well. Finally, any time you are able to increase your body’s testosterone levels, you are able to increase fat loss efficiency.

In bodybuilding training, we will very often attempt to use varying training regimens in order to mix things up. Why? Because it is the confused muscle group – that which is experiencing stimulation of both fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibers – that is in turn able to grow the most. When you see a bodybuilder always using the same 6 to 8 repetition range, you know this his slow-twitch muscle fibers (those which are activated in repetitions number 12 through 20) are lying dormant. Likewise, when you see a person training with only high reps, you can rest assured that his fast-twitch fibers (hit during heavy sets of 5 to 8 repetitions) aren’t receiving any love! We mix up our repetition training schemes in order to address these two sets of needs – and we should do so with our supplements as well!

Oral Testibol is quite popular among athletes looking to do just that – stimulate both sets of muscle fibers. Its ‘spiking’ of all types of muscle fibers results in more of these muscle groups being recruited, which leads to greater muscle growth. That’s right, you heard correctly. This legal and affordable supplement gives trainers the ability to quickly ‘spike’, or deliver, a rush to all of their muscle fibers. For this reason, the compound is particularly popular with powerlifters. They are able to do their best when they can recruit 100% of available muscle fibers for a particular lift. Oral Testibol helps to make this happen! Give is a shot for 8 weeks, and see if your individual personal best on lifts improves. Record your results, and decide if Oral Testibol might be one of the best muscle building supplements – and one you would like to use on a permanent basis!

Finding an Alternative to Steroids
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
Are you seeking an alternative to steroids? You’re not alone. There are literally millions of people working hard in gyms around the world who would kill for an alternative to steroids that is effective, affordable, and worked. Steroids are, without a doubt, capable of turning the ordinary gym rat into a monster within 2 to 4 years. Nobody denies that. However, there is a great deal of contention out there as to just how safe steroids are. They do often cause the HPTA system of the user to fluctuate, resulting in a situation where the pituitary gland doesn’t issue order to the testes to produce ample amounts of testosterone. The result is a healthy male whose body doesn’t produce ample – or any – testosterone naturally. Because this has happened to so many bodybuilders around the world, governing bodies have worked to ban the use of steroids in a very major way.

However, all is not lost. Here are some supplements and techniques you can employ in order to deliver results similar to the goal of steroids – elevated testosterone. Read on!

The Anabolic Diet
Clean up your food. If it didn’t run on four legs or grow in the earth, don’t eat it. Work to deliver as many of your food sources as possible from the ‘anabolic’ group, or those foods most likely to help your body’s systems run more efficiently and effectively. Steak, poultry, pork and eggs make for terrific protein sources. Opt for beans, lentils, rice and potatoes (particularly of the sweet variety) when looking for carbohydrate sources. You should limit your negative fat sources, instead opting for clean oil and nuts to meet your body’s fat needs. Finally, work to avoid as many processed foods as possible. Enriched white flour products such as pancakes and most breads work against your body’s goal of clean and efficient processing of foods.

Testosterone Boosters
A solution that many lifters find to be to their liking is the use of bodybuilding supplements known as testosterone boosters. These supplements tend to be legal for a short while, then move on to banned lists as they become better known and begin to draw the attention of governing bodies such as the FDA. However, there are some that are still available to bodybuilders, which have been very popular over the past decade for delivering results that bodybuilders want, without the legal, health, and other issues associated with actual anabolic steroid use. Mesobolin, Oral Testibol, and TridenosenH are among those. Give these oral compounds a shot and you’ll likely discover your testosterone levels gradually rising – naturally! This will prevent what users of actual steroid often face – a crash resulting in a period of zero natural testosterone production by the body.

Patience Is A Virtue
When you’re running everything under the sun like your bodybuilding idols, goals such as “Gain 20 pounds of muscle mass this year” might seem reasonable. However, when if you’re a natural bodybuilder, you are going to have a much tougher time gaining muscle.

A Weightlifting Supplement For Muscle Growth
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
When the phrase “weightlifting supplement” is used, it can mean a lot of things. Pretty much anything that allows your lifting of weights can be called a weightlifting supplement. This can include food, safety devices used in the gym, and of course, nutritional supplements. Let’s look at each group.

Food
When they first enter the gym, many people aren’t aware of the fact that their bodies are going to suddenly need more food. They may notice their appetite growing a bit, but putting 2 and 2 together is hard for some people. Many take a long time to add more food, and cheat themselves out of those ever-important beginners’ gains that arrive in the fist year of training. In reality, you should be giving your body as many calories in the form of protein and clean carbohydrate sources as it can handle without letting your body fat levels get too far out of control.

Safety Devices
These can include any class of devices or aides which allow you to lift weights safer or more effectively or effectively. Most popular with many lifters are back support belts. These can prevent damage to the lower back (lumbar) region not only when training back, but also on leg, chest, and shoulder days. Some lifters never take off the old back brace! Chalk is also useful for allowing the lifter to hold a barbell more securely, taking the negative effects of sweat slippage out of the equation. Finally, the use of squat suits of bench shirts can allow the powerlifter to move hundreds of more pounds than would be possible with a plain old t-shirt. Many purists consider these to be cheating – but what a rush it was when the first man benched and squatted 1000 pounds, right?

Nutritional Supplements
This is most often the type of supplements people are referring to when they mention ‘weightlifting supplement’, and for very good reason. Nutritional supplements such as whey protein, creatine, Cyclosterone and Oral Testibol can provide the lifter with significant advantages over their peers. Your recovery will be faster. You’ll have more stamina on the major lifts, and require less rest time between sets. You will make better use of your food, absorbing more of the protein within the food. Sleep will be sounder, and your water volumization will be greater. This allows the lifter to carry an additional five pounds of lean mass – in the form of water – directly inside the muscles being trained. This equates to larger muscles (which look better) and stronger muscles, capable of moving more weight. Be sure to shop around when looking for nutritional supplements, and keep detailed records of the effects they have upon your performance in the gym. Use those nutritional supplements that work year round!

In reality, if you are indeed serious about your powerlifting or bodybuilding ventures, then you should be using all three of these weightlifting supplements each week. Combine these aides with consistent training and plenty of rest, and you should be seeing growth in no time!

What Is The Best Steroid Alternative
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
You want to use steroids. Nothing unique about that situation! You are one of probably millions of bodybuilders who just aren’t seeing the kind of fast results you desire. You look around the gym at your peers, and you realize everyone is getting pretty much the same results. Sure, some will advance a little bit quicker. But in the end, we’re all just adding a few pounds of muscle, shaking off a little bit of body fat, and doing our best to stave off the effects of aging, right?

Well, not all of us. There are always going to be a few people in the gym who advance far quicker than everyone else. It’s no to say they aren’t putting in the hours, doing the work, and eating right. It’s just that they seem to react better to all of it. You see them day in and day out, and it’s like they are growing a little bit bigger every time you see them! It’s not fair, is it? You spend the same amount of hours in the gym training as they do, but they just seem to be getting stronger, while adding more muscle mass.

They stand out for other reasons too. You might notice they sweat a lot. They’re very aggressive. Acne might be an issue. They’re definitely holding a great deal of water. “Moon face” might be the best way to describe it, right? If you’ve been following bodybuilding for long, you are probably aware of the fact they are most likely running a steroid cycle. There’s nothing wrong with it. You would love to be running a cycle. However, you wouldn’t know where to begin. Where would you even buy them? You surely don’t want to go to jail. If you got caught, even with just a minor slap on the wrist, you’d probably lose your job. And your wife or girlfriend would be mortified. Friends would likely abandon you as a cheater, even though you just wanted to get a little bit bigger. It just wouldn’t be worth it, would it?

So, you need a steroid alternative. But what? You look online and see ‘steroid alternative’ advertised everywhere. Muscle magazines are full of advertisements. Which can you trust?

You may want to try a supplement with research to back up their claims. You want a product that has been around for a few years. Choose one like Mesobolin or Oral Testibol with a long track record for performance both in bodybuilding, as well as in other sports arenas. Be wary of new products that pop up from unknown sources suddenly – they likely won’t be there a year from now.

Finally, you have to just sit back, give it time, and wait. Granted, this is probably going to be the toughest option of all. But in a world without steroids – your world – you are going to want to use hard work, plenty of time, and the right steroid alternative to help you reach your bodybuilding goals.

Muscle And Fitness
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
A complete muscle and fitness program depends food intake, supplementation, and an intensified cardiovascular and resistance training program. This concept has been around for an unusually long time, and it can still be applied in modern day muscle and fitness training as well. The bodybuilder's path to muscle and fitness will vary. Bodybuilder's do not have precisely the same body form or metabolism, however some factors will be similar.

The need for a balanced diet, enhancement supplements, targeted cardiovascular, and resistance conditioning are the key to success in building muscle and fitness levels. Nutrition represents the nucleus required for an effective muscle and fitness program. Individuals can achieve remarkable results within 12 weeks.

Successful muscle and fitness starts with core nutrients including high quality proteins, complex carbohydrates, and supplementation. Essential building blocks proteins used may be Egg Whites, Whole Eggs, Chicken, Lean Beef, Salmon, Tilapia, or Vegetable Protein.

Complex carbohydrates are necessary for energy. For example, Oatmeal, Sweet Potatoes, Brown Rice, Asparagus, Broccoli, Spinach, Eggplant, and Beets constitute energy-food sources packed with of vitamins and minerals.

When starting a nutrition-packed diet for developing muscle and fitness, it would be beneficial to cycle carbohydrates for the first 6 weeks. Carbohydrates may be incorporated into all meals. During the last six weeks, carbohydrates should be tapered by cutting the carb serving by half, excluding the last meal of the day.

For the final meal, the intake of carbohydrates should taper to half of the normal amount of meal 1-5 and eliminate carbs at meal 6. Adding a tablespoon of naturally-made peanut can be added to the last meal to satisfy any cravings.

Supplementation makes up an all-important component in building quality muscle and fitness. Acquiring all the nutrients needed for muscle and fitness from food sources would be ideal, but it is nearly impossible. Supplements provide ample nutritional support. The advantages of specific supplements utilized to aid nutrition enhance muscle and fitness.

Multivitamins, protein enhancer, and glutamine prior to cardiovascular training. EFAs contain everything needed for maintaining muscle and increasing energy levels. ZMA works at bedtime. Sleep quality improves and waking up will be more invigorating. The last 3 weeks of the 12-week program add energy reserve and 7-keto prior to each cardiovascular training session.

One should treat these few suggestions as a template to create a personalized nutrition program. Typically, bodybuilder can become impatient with the process of targeted nutrition planning. Consequently, they make serious changes to their meal and supplementation plan in front of taking enough time to assure how their bodies were already reacting.

Such restlessness frequently makes it difficult to understand, however, their bodies react under certain conditions. The body responds under certain conditions, and there is no substitute for this self-awareness in building muscle and fitness. When developing a nutrition program for muscle and fitness, it is vitally essential to be patient and allow the body time to respond.

Do not spend time stressing out, enjoy the process and look forward to improved muscle and fitness.

Anabolic Steroids Side Effects
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
While anabolic steroids provide obvious physical performance benefits, the side effects are very dangerous and extreme.  The most significant side effects associated with taking anabolic steroids are liver damage, depression and other psychiatric damage, infertility, heart damage, and other gender altering side effects.
 
The first side effect of anabolic steroids is liver damage.  When consumed, the anabolic steroids are metabolized through the digestive system which then eventually causes them to be filtered through the liver and into the bloodstream.  Much like alcohol, anabolic steroid essentially acts as a poison to the liver and can cause significant damage.  Anabolic steroids have been shown to cause jaundice in the skin and death due to liver damage. 
 
Another side effect of anabolic steroids is psychiatric damage.  Anabolic steroids have been shown to directly cause significant psychiatric conditions including violence, mania, aggression, depression.  In some extreme situations the depression caused by steroids has led to isolation and suicide.  Steroids also can be an extremely addictive drug both physically and mentally, although the level of addiction is more comparable to caffeine than other illegal drugs. 
 
The third significant side effect of taking anabolic steroids is infertility.  Steroids can make women infertile, but the side effect is most concerning for me.  Anabolic steroids can cause testicular atrophy, which is caused by the alteration of natural testosterone levels and can eventually lead to decreased sperm production.  Infertility at times is only temporary, but after extended us often becomes permanent.  Males who use anabolic steroids also often report decreased sexual drive and performance. 
 
Heart damage is also a major side effect of taking anabolic steroids.  Steroids have been shown to alter the hearts structure, including enlargement of the left ventricle.  This enlargement hampers the hearts ability to contract and relax and can eventually lead to hypertension, congestive heart failure, heart attacks, and sudden cardiac failure.  Many of these cardiac inflictions are seen in young steroid abusers who prior to taking the drug were in excellent cardiac condition. 
 
Gender altering side effects are another risk associated with taking anabolic steroids.  The increased testosterone count leads many female steroid abusers to grow excess body hair and strengthened vocal chords which can cause a deepened voice.  Women taking steroids also experience temporarily decreased menstrual cycles.  Also, when anabolic steroids are taken during pregnancy many fetus are negatively affected which causes male features to be formed in female fetuses and female features to be formed in male fetuses.

Best Fat Loss Supplement
Dane Fletcher
[info]dane_fletcher
The off-season was wonderful, wasn’t it? You managed to lift like you’ve never lifted before, and added 20 or 30 pounds of mass to your frame. You are without a doubt stronger on all of the major lifts. You’ve gotten your arms, back, chest and legs bigger, and you absolutely cannot wait until you can get on your diet and finally shed this body fat, right?

Nobody likes the pre-contest diet. However, even if you’re not competing in a bodybuilding show anytime soon, you are still likely going to benefit tremendously from dieting down at least once per year. It will allow your vascularity to shine through, and you will finally get an idea as to where your true weaknesses lie. It’s easy to sit back and admire yourself in the mirror when you’re a ‘huge as a house’ 260 pounds. However, when you shave down to 220, you get a much better idea if your quads are really as good as you think they are, or if your arms are really pro caliber. Often, it is the pre-contest diet which reveals many bodybuilders’ weaknesses like never before – and as a result many bodybuilders will never diet down.

Dieting down is never easy. There are a ton of factors to consider. First, you will want to gradually restrict your caloric intake. Each week, you will want to shave another 20 to 400 calories off of your total intake until you reach a spot where the fat is falling off, but the muscle remains. Adding cardiovascular exercise to your routine is a must. Twenty to forty-five minutes on the treadmill, immediately upon rising in the morning, is ideal. No food should be consumed before conducting this cardio. This way, you can ensure you are burning fat cells with your efforts, and not sugars in your stomach from your morning orange juice.

Finding the best fat loss supplement should be last on your list, but is certainly very important in your list of things to complete. Many bodybuilders will just opt for whatever fat burner is being featured on sale at their local grocery store. This is a sure-fire method for getting an inferior product, as most of these products are watered down versions of the real thing: ECA. That’s right – 25 mg of ephedrine, 250 mg aspirin, and 350 mg aspirin should be taken each morning to deliver what most bodybuilders agree is definitely the best fat loss supplement, ECA.

Finally, a point should be noted that many bodybuilders do tend to overlook. The best fat loss supplement is to never get fat in the first place! That’s right. Most bodybuilders – even those in the professional ranks – tend to go overboard in the off-season, in the hopes of gaining new muscle mass at all costs. The result is a situation in which they are looking in a mirror, twelve weeks before their upcoming bodybuilding show, wondering how in the world they are going to shed all of this body fat in time. Many times, they will then embark upon a diet so strict that they end up losing the majority of their muscle mass.
