I just want to give you a quick break down of what the lifestyle of a Bodybuilder actually is.  Anyone who googles ways to find out how to get huge and take this product or that product, workout this way add this to your day.  Its all complete Garbage. 

What you need to do to get the real ripped huge physique, is to one be in the gym 3x a day, eating 6 to 9 meals a day, taking in Growth Hormone and Anabolic Steroids.  This is it. 

When the typical person goes to the gym trying to get into shape, you go in there for 45 minutes to 90 minutes doing one body part, maybe some cardio and that is your day.  You may get 8hrs of sleep a night and you may eat sort of healthy.

A Bodybuilder typically spends around 50,000$ a year on Anabolic Steroids alone, so your 500mg to 1000mg cycles probley are not on key to there 2500mg cycles or more.   When a Bodybuilder starts there day they are up at 5am, They have a meal that is roughly around 800 calories and atleast 50 to 100 grams of protein. Then they are off to the gym for 2hrs, working there back pushing as far as they can go.  They return back to there home, in which they will take in 2 to 3 more meals over the next few hrs, and return back to the gym, to work on there back yet again, the same routine.  Return home rest and eat another few meals, and return to the gym to do atleast 1 hr of cardio.   They then again go home take in another meal, go to bed by 8 or 9pm wake up at 2am to drink a protein shake and a meal and go back to bed to do it all over again the very next day.  This is not including steroids, the steroids are run year round, so off time is low and the cycle will last 20 or more weeks.

Take this into consideration when you are back in the gym thinking you are doing everything you can but are not acheiveing results, because you probley are not.  Eating and Training are the most important parts of your day.  Yes you can over train but you are not going to over train your body working the same muscle out 2x a day naturally, you work your legs all day everyday walking around there not going to get smaller if you gain weight and you are carrying more weight around, your legs are going to get bigger to adjustt to beable to carry that weight around.   Workout and Eat, sleep and you will get the great reaults that you want.

It’s much more feasible to maintain maximum mental and physical intensity for 30 to 40 minutes than for 90 minutes. In fact, after 30 minutes mental focus and intensity start to decline rapidly. Training for 30 to 40 minutes maximizes hormonal spikes related to high-intensity training. Training maximizes key hormonal output based on intensity and duration. Training for 30 to 40 minutes optimizes the “anabolic-window” high-intensity training provides. Going beyond the 40 minute threshold places you outside the optimum hormonal response time. Training beyond 40 minutes increases the risk of over-training and increases catabolic hormone secretion.   Running a strong Steroid cycle with this routine, is a great way for a begginer or even a vet to make some quick gains considering you will be switching up alot of what you do. 

To follow a good Training program a great way to start for the first 12 weeks is to start with a 5×5 workout routine. 

You will warm up with 2 sets each exercise you do. 

So figure out what a warm up is for you if you struggle curling 60lbs then you will do this.  8 reps warm up set using 40lbs thne 8 reps warm up set using 50 lbs.  Next you will pick up your 60lb weights that you struggle with and you will curl them 5x for 5 sets.

Do this for each part of your body on its own days.

Monday- Back

Tuesday- Arms

Wednesday- legs

Thursday – chest

Friday – shoulders.

Abs can be done every day and you should aim for 100 for high reps.

So following this program for 12 weeks, then you will switch it up and do 3 sets of 8 reps.  After this you should be alot stronger.  Remember after so long your body adapts to the workouts you were use to doing, so adding in new ways to workout will help you acheive more results.  This will WORK for everyone.

There is really only 2 times i can really pin point where supplements should be taken.   When you are coming off a steroid cycle and are in PCT.

OR

Two you are on a low calorie strict diet, where your body is not getting the nutrients from food that it needs.

A short list of 3 supplements should be checked out.   Multi Vitamin, protein powder only isolate, and Amino Acids.

Any other product is really a waiste of time.  FishOilds are great for your body but you can get them from foods, and really your body does not need it.   Do you no that at each sitting every 3hrs your body only can really take in 30-50mg of protein, and the rest will just turn to fat.  Same thing with vitamins and all the other supplements to much of some things is not a good thing.  You may have all the vitamin B you need, so why are you spending money on Vitamin B pills.

I will actually state that i do feel that Creatine gets brough up alot and for PCT.  The reason why so many people bulk up on creatine is that it bloats your muscle with water.  END OF STORY.   So in the end you really aint helping yourself or your liver with creatine when coming off steroids.  Steroid will mostly put excess water on your body, along with all the muscle you earned, when you get off the cycle you loose this water weight and you shrink a little bit, so when you take creatine your just replacing the water lost from the steroids and there really not doing anything for you at all.  SUPPLEMENTS are a waiste.

Steroids need no help, unless its help from another steroids.  For example Test and dball, TEST E kicks in 4 weeks after the injections strong, so what you do is take the dball pills for the first 4 weeks of the cycle so that you are constantly gaining and getting bigger instead of waiting.

When Drinking Alchohol it will slow down your recovery of muscle growth.   The reason is when you drink just half of a beer, your body will start to dehydrate your muscle.  When your muscle becomes dhydrated your body can not use all the nutrients in it to repair your muscle.  How bad does it effect your muscle.  20% from having just one drink.  Your muscles will be starving for growth, this will lead to inneffective workouts.

Beer is also full of empty calories.  No Vitamins and definitly no Proteins.  Drinking just 1 pint of alchohol is the same as eating a happy meal at mcdonalds, its waisted nutrients. This will stop fat loss, by spikeing your insulin levels and increasing weight gain.

The big problem with Drinking Alchohol is the key fact that it will Lower your Testosterone Levels.   This is a problem because you want to increase your Test levels and Hormone Levels in order to build muscle.  Why do you think so many Anabolic steroid users add Testosterone to every cycle?  It is because it is the best way to add on lean muscle mass.  Testosterone keeps you going, it keeps you happy, strong and even will keep your sex life going strong.    There is a study online that shows Drinking Alchohol or being intoxicated will drop your Testosterone levels to 25% and it does the same with your hormones.  There is no place for drinking when your trying to train seriously or change your bodys athletic ability.

If you go to www.Hypermuscles.com you can find many diets and programs that will help you Build your Test Levels and get you the body that you want, and find out more information about having a healthy life style.  Not only this there are many members that can help you and a great staff that can help you 24/7.

Weightlifting is a type of exercise that can improve your health no matter your age. In fact, scientists are constantly discovering new ways in which weightlifting benefits the body.

1. Aging

   • For older adults, weightlifting and other strength training exercise can help to preserve muscle mass and stave off injuries by keeping joints and tendons strong.

   Increased Muscle Mass

   • A huge benefit of weight lifting is increased muscle mass. This not only serves to make you physically stronger, but having more muscle mass increases metabolic rate. This helps to prevent weight gain in the form of fat.

   Positive Self-Image

   • Especially if you are just starting out, lifting weights twice a week will allow you to see and feel results after just a few weeks. This will no doubt boost your self-confidence and further fuel your desire to stay in shape.

   Reduced Risk of Disease

   • According to researchers at the University of South Carolina, there is convincing evidence that weightlifting can lead to a reduced risk of chronic disease—most importantly, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.

   Stamina

   • Weight training can also help to increase stamina. Muscles that are strong and conditioned to perform at their peak through weightlifting can work longer without becoming fatigued.

   Strong Bones

   • Weight training has often been shown to strengthen bones. This is another reason that weight training is often prescribed for older adults, as they typically suffer from reduced bone density

When people are considering doing their first cycle, proper injection technique is usually the last thing they consider. Usually, people have a goal, and then research various drugs and cycles which they think will help them achieve that goal. Usually it´s not until someone has a bunch of vials sitting in front of them, and a bag of needles and syringes, that they start thinking about how they´re actually going to get the oil out of the bottle and into their body!

Hopefully this article will make that first injection- and all of your subsequent ones- a bit less confusing and a lot less painful.

First, you´ll need to draw the steroid out of the vial, with a syringe. The most common size for injecting anabolic steroids is a 22-23ga. X 1-1.5″ needle. This size will work for all water based and oil based injectable steroids. The first thing you need to do is make sure you are using a clean, unused needle. Next, make sure the top of the vial is clean, and swab it with an alcohol pad.

To draw the liquid out of the vial, you´ll first want to pull some air into the syringe, usually as much as it will hold. Next, you want to hold the vial upside down and inject the air into the vial. This will increase pressure inside the vial and allow the liquid to be drawn into the syringe more easily. Once you´ve one this, and while you´re still holding the vial upside down (you need to make sure the tip of the needle is below the level of the liquid), begin to slowly pull back on the plunger and draw the desired amount of liquid into the syringe.

Next you have the option of replacing the needle that breached the rubber stopper of the vial with a fresh needle. This is because even one pass through the rubber of a vial will blunt the tip of a needle- even if this is not visible to the naked eye, it´s still got the potential to cause additional discomfort when you inject.

After you have replaced the needle, if you´ve chosen to do so, you´ll need to swab the area you are about to inject with a new, clean, alcohol pad. The most common injection site is

The Dorsogluteal site (ass):

Another common site for injection is the Ventrogluteal part of the Gluteus (slightly higher and to the outside of the Dorsogluteal site).

Of course, other sites such as the deltoid (shoulder), Triceps and Biceps (arms), as well as even Pectorals (chest- a bit too “Pulp Fiction” for me, personally) and Calves are used as injection sites. But regardless of the site, the same procedure and sanitary protocol must be followed.

Anyway, after the site has been wiped with an alcohol pad, you´ll want to relax the area, and if possible, stretch the skin taught with your thumb and forefinger. This will make , the skin tight and provide an easier injection. Once you have the skin stretched, while holding the needle like a dart, insert it with one swift motion, all the way to the end of the needle. Do this at a 90 degree angle relative to the muscle you are injecting.

Next, pull back on the plunger, and check that no blood enters the syringe. As long as no blood has entered (signifying that you´ve his a blood vessel, and that this is not a good injection to continue), push down on the plunger slowly with a slow, steady pressure. Once the syringe is empty, pull out the needle with one swift motion, and put pressure on the area with a sterile alcohol pad. Next, simply apply a bandage, recap the needle, and dispose of everything in a safe manner.

For doing a subcutaneous shot, with an insulin needle (this is typically how Growth Hormone is administered), you´ll follow all of those steps, but instead of stretching your skin taught, you´ll be pulling the skin away from your body and inserting the needle at a 45 degree angle into the “pocket” of space between your skin and muscle.

Again, dispose of your needles safely, and remember to follow this same procedure for every injection, to avoid the possibility of infections and abscesses.

Almost everyone is familiar with the scams and fads “out there.” We all know about the apple cider vinegar’s, the shark cartilages, and the latest witch doctor brews. Unfortunately for those new to the bodybuilding lifestyle, what is less well known are tried, true methods of exercise, and tried, true and TRUSTED supplements and supplement companies.

When constructing a supplement program one should first give attention to the careful selection of a multi-vitamin. First and foremost consideration must be given to any potential allergies that you may have. Failure to select the correct multi-vitamin may result in an allergic reaction to the vitamins ingredients. In my particular situation, I have an allergy to the element nickel (Ni), as did my father before me. I have experienced allergic reaction to a multi-vitamin resulting from its nickel content.  As a result, I experienced diarrhea, gastro-intestinal upset, and dull aching in my kidneys. Upon discontinuation of the vitamins, the symptoms dissipated. Given that no other alterations were made to my supplement or diet program, the multi-vitamin used is likely to have been the cause. Therefore, to avoid this unpleasant experience, it is suggested that one makes a note of any potential allergies that may exist, and carefully examine the ingredients on a multi-vitamin prior to purchase.  Further, any other pre-existing medical conditions that one may have should be kept in mind while considering a multi-vitamin. For example, in the case of prostatitis [prostate enlargement that is interfering with the ability to pass urine], a multi-vitamin with a high zinc content [15mg or greater] is best avoided. Time-release versus non-time release is also something that one should consider. Time-released multi-vitamins are usually more expensive but provide considerable advantage as minerals and vitamins are released at a slower, but more steady rate. This allows for better retention, and an overall better value. There is little sense in spending money on a product, only to rid yourself of the vitamins as your urinate.  Men and women require different dosages of minerals and vitamins. Resist the urge to think, “more is better.” It is not; precise is best when dealing with multi-vitamins.

 Glutamine is a standard issue for anyone considering a supplement purchase. In fact, Glutamine is so important and plays so many roles in the body if it’s a choice between Glutamine and the latest Whey supplement, Glutamine would be first choice. Hard training athletes need glutamine because the body is unable to make enough of it on its own when subject to intense and heavy training. BCAA’s [branch chain amino acids] are precursors to glutamine, but without an external supply of glutamine to satisfy the body’s needs, gains will be minimized.  When one is under stress [when working out, for example] glutamine is released from the muscles, and this can result in dehydration. Dehydration, as many will know from research, leads to a catabolic state. High glutamine levels in the body will allow for greater protein synthesis and increased hydration, which will result in increases of lean tissue.  Also, glutamine stimulates the pituitary gland in the brain; thereby increase available levels of Growth Hormone. A neurotransmitter known as Gamma Amino Butyric Acid [GABA] is also boosted, and this helps in recovery and relaxation.  When considering a purchase of glutamine one should pay careful attention to the wording. Does the package say “free form” or “peptide bonded”? These are two important but very different phrases. Peptide-bonded glutamine is more stable than its free free-form counterpart. It is also more expensive. Peptide-bonded may be taken with food while free form is best taken on an empty stomach.  Obtaining enough protein in the diet alone is often difficult. Theoretically it is possible. However, by relying exclusively on whole-food sources to obtain ones complete daily protein requirements, one risks the digestion of incomplete proteins, as well as placing undue stress upon the digestive tract. Therefore, to circumvent the previously mentioned difficulties, a protein powder is useful. When selecting a Whey protein product, careful attention should be given to the type of Whey protein contained in the can. Things to consider are: Yield, Functionality, Amino Acid Profile (BCAA – EAA ratio), WPI:WPC Ratio, Filler Percentage, Taste, Ease of use, Blendability, Digestibility, Functionality and results.

Creatine is an excellent supplement that when used as part of a strength program can produce great gains in lean muscle tissue for the user. When considering a Creatine product, purity should be of primary consideration. Contrary to popular propaganda, one does not need to have 75gm of dextrose in order for Creatine to be effective. Creatine monohydrate is best taken, in my experience, with the following substances in a post-workout shake:

5gm Glutamine. 10gm Creatine monohydrate, 50gm Dextrose, 40-60gm Whey protein

 Dextrose is beneficial when taken with Creatine, as it illicits an insulin spike, thereby shuttling more creatine into the intended target: the muscle. However, reducing the amount of dextrose, and introducing Whey protein into the mix may elicit a greater insulin spike. By doing this an insulin spike equivalent to using 90g of dextrose may be seen. Creatine is fairly cheap, and over the years its quality has improved considerably. Long gone are the days of Chinese creatine. Creatine monohydrate in the powder form is the recommended type, as attempts at stabilizing liquid creatine serums have not been met with success.

 ZMA is a supplement that may be considered a “basic” by some or an “accessory” by others. It is included here as a basic because it assists greatly in recovery and prevents muscle wasting resulting from a calorie-reduced diet. ZMA is a supplement that boosts natural testosterone levels to their maximum. It does this by employing a unique synergistic combination of three minerals [Zinc, Magnesium, Aspartate]. I include ZMA in my supplement regimen, and find is useful especially when on a fat-loss program.  When on a strength and muscle-building program, ZMA is useful in that due to increase testosterone levels brought about by increased calories and its use, a great increase in strength can be seen. When on a fat-loss program, a thermogenic can greatly increase fat loss. Two popular brands are Hydroxycut and Xenadrine NRG. Having used both, I am in a position where I can recommend one or the other.

A team in America have adapted a test normally used to establish if someone if having a heart attack to predict one years in advance.

The development could allow those at high risk to take action such as adopting a healthier lifestyle and taking drugs to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

The more sensitive test identified proteins in the blood that signal heart cells have been dying in seemingly healthy people with no outward signs of heart disease.

It was found that where the protein called troponin T were present, the patient was seven times more likely to die from heart disease within the next six years.

Dr James de Lemos, associate professor of internal medicine at Southwestern Medical Centre, at University of Texas and lead author of the study said: “This test is among the most powerful predictors of death in the general population we’ve seen so far.

“It appears that the higher your troponin T, the more likely you are to have problems with your heart, and the worse you’re going to do, regardless of your other risk factors.”

The findings are published in the Journal of the American Medical Association and follow on from an earlier study which suggested the protein could also predict heart failure, a condition where the organ fails to pump strongly enough causing breathlessness and fatigue.

The latest study involved more than 3,500 healthy people and 25 per cent were found to have detectable levels of troponin T.

They provided blood samples and underwent multiple body scans to examine their hearts and internal organs.

They found older people, men and African-Americans had the highest levels of troponin T along with those showing signs of thickening or weakness of the heart muscles.

They were then tracked for an average of seven years from 2000 to 2007 to establish how many people died, of what and when.

The more sensitive test can detect circulating protein levels in almost everyone with chronic heart failure and chronic coronary artery disease, the authors said.

Dr de Lemos said: “Because this test seems to identify cardiovascular problems that were previously unrecognised, we hope in the future to be able to use it to prevent some death and disability from heart failure and other cardiac diseases.”

Currently doctors use computer software calculations called the Framingham Score and Qrisk to identify people at high risk of heart disease who could benefit from preventive treatments. The calculations take into account family history, smoking history, cholesterol levels, blood pressure and age.

The earlier study, published in the same journal last month, found that troponin T levels could predict the chance of heart failure up to 15 years in advance.

Until now, no blood test has been able to give an indication of a person’s risk of heart failure.

The study conducted by University of Maryland involved 4,000 people whose blood was taken in 1989.

Prof Christopher deFilippi, the lead researcher, said: “We found that the higher the level of troponin T, the greater the individual was at risk for symptoms of heart failure or death from cardiovascular disease over the next 10 to 15 years.”

He added that those with the highest levels of troponin T were four to five times more likely to develop heart failure than those with the lowest detectable levels. People whose levels dropped over time appeared to reduce their risk of heart failure.
