WHEN TO WORKOUT What should I eat? When should I eat it? And when’s the best time to work out? Should I hit the gym when I wake up in the morning, during lunch hour, or late afternoon? BATTLE WOUNDS Everyone from the trained professional to the weekend warrior knows sports injuries. When injured, all athletes want to know, “How soon can I get back into lifting, running, swimming, etc.” STRETCH YOUR LIMITS Stretching increases your flexibility, which can lead to more muscle recruitment through better form and greater range of motion. MUSCLE-BUILDING OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES This section is devoted to those activities that are mostly devoted to actual building of muscle and require more strength than the ones previously listed. It’s fool-hearty to believe that none of these activities cross over, because they all do to some extent. However, there are some activities, such as rock climbing that, while the heights and danger might stimulate the heart more than actual repetitive muscle exhaustion, it’s a much more strength-based activity. Special Forces - Tactical AS Use? Think steroids are just for gym rats and million dollar NFL players? Look more closely... You know that war on terror we've been engaged in for the past 3 years? It may not be as much a search for weapons of mass destruction as for weapons of mass construction - namely, anabolic steroids! The Importance of Anti-Estrogens If you've had any experience with AAS cycles, you've likely been exposed to anti-estrogen drugs - those drugs that counteract the aromatizing effects of steroids and manage the influx of ensuing estrogen that has pooled in areas such as the nipples and testes, as a result of the imbalance of hormones once a cycle has dissipated. BEGINNER'S WORKOUT: Common Mistakes Beginner's Make Ahhh...newbies. There's nothing wrong with being a beginner - we all have to start someplace - but being a beginner means that you have to make a lot of mistakes in order to find your groove. And that takes a lot of time. During that time, however, a newbie is very vulnerable. Read: It's just as easy to learn what it is to be "correct" as it is to learn what is "incorrect", and that's the problem! BULGING BICEPS - Give us a Month.... Is there really anything new under the sun when it comes to training? Perhaps nothing new, but innovation, maybe. As a consumer, bodybuilder, and overall purveyor of freaky muscle, this is how you must think of any workout that's offered via magazine or website. It isn't that there is so much out there you or I haven't heard of at this point, it's more about what we do with what we already know, to come up with something that is creative and becomes a means to a successful end. How To Make The World’s Best All Around Steroid... 2.5 Times Stronger! You’re about to get turned on to some inside information so “inside” only a handful of people in the world know about it! But soon, all of the world will know a way to make what’s considered the world’s best all around steroid, Oxandrolone (Anavar), work over twice as good! E/C/A Stack at it's Best There are really only two things that matter to a bodybuilder! 1) How big he is! And 2) How ripped he is! However, if you ask a hundred guys which one of the two is most difficult to obtain... 85% would say getting really ripped is the toughest! And remember this: a very smooth 18 ½ inch arm... will look much less impressive to the casual observer (women!!) than a ripped to the bone 16 ½ inch arm! Why Deca is the Best Steroid Around Most people that hear Nandrolone Deaconate refer to Deca-Durabolin. This inject able steroid provides its users with many benefits. Known world wide as a good steroid this drug gives athletes a positive outlook on life. Many steroids have a large range of side effects. Deca has been proven to lessen these effects. Deca also has a larger demand for their product due to positive feedback on the use of these steroids. THE POWER OF HEAVY POUNDAGE 21st Century bodybuilding has become a complicated business. It seems that to get anywhere in this game nowadays, you’ve got to have PHD level knowledge on everything from nutrition to kinesiology, from chemistry to, dare I say it, psychology. We’re constantly being bombarded with state of the art research about everything from metabolic typing to visualization, from chemical sub-structures to ECG graph print-outs. It’s enough to make an old school iron pumper growl in disgust. Fortunately for the several million of us who would like to keep things simple, however, there is one muscle building truism that will never change, no matter how far our sport meanders into technical triviality: to build huge and freaky muscle mass you’ve got to haul heavy poundage. Steroid Purity Testing Q: Someone I know mentioned that they got their UG gear tested and I wanted to do the same. Can you tell me where I can get UG gear tested to determine how close it may be to the actual mg doses stated? Introduction Into the World of AS - A Careful Step for the Beginner Oral steroids are probably the first type of steroid that an amateur bodybuilder will take. Why? Because orals are on par with the kind of 'half-commitment' that most newbies can stomach. Don't get us wrong, it isn't as though the oral steroids we've seen in this life aren't effective - they are! But the deal is, pills seem easier to start with because they aren't messy and aren't as difficult to justify as an injection. After all, previous to steroid use, unless you're a diabetic, most people have only received injections at a doctor's office - let alone given themselves one! Squats and Their Importance As you all know exercise is important part of bodybuilding and weight training. There are many benefits to squatting. Though there are many risks with every routine, people tend to shy away from squats. There are several important squats that should be integrated into your daily routines when weight training, to name a few; leg press, twisting squats, safety squats, power lifting squats, and Olympic squats. At least two of these variations should be in your routine to achieve maximum results. WEAK LEGS? NYET!!!! TRY OUR NEW RUSSIAN SQUAT ROUTINE The legs generate the most productive power in weightlifting, and in all athletics, really, over a small range of motion at the knee, hip and ankle joints. There is a lot of power, in other words, packed into a relatively small range of motion, so making the best of each repetition is crucial to leg development, power, strength and speed. PROTEIN SHAKE RECIPES PB&J Protein Shake (great diet shake! Virtually no carbs) Pliometrics Plyometric training is the enhancement of explosive power. Explosive power is the ability of the muscle to produce maximum strength in the shortest period of time. Since there is seldom time to produce this kind of maximum strength in most sporting events (apart from perhaps powerlifting), it's obviously a benefit to be able to do so - and particularly for bodybuilders. HARDCORE #1 - Four Hardcore Training Methods to Crush Muscle and Bone! Nothing much can be accomplished by going into the gym, day after day, and doing 4 sets of 8 reps, and repeating it throughout 3 different exercises. It's almost as if you could do that in your sleep. And sleeping through workouts isn't a good idea. That's why smart bodybuilders devise plans to shake things up from time to time. Whether that means doing giant sets, super sets or another kind of intensity-boosting endeavor, shaking things up is the name of the game. Eating For High Energy And Explosive Performance! If you’re an athlete, you’re accustomed to watching what you eat. But you may not know what to eat before an event to optimize performance and send your energy levels soaring through the roof. Supplements can certainly help with this effort, but without satisfying crucial dietary needs, the foundation upon which you base everything else will crumble. At that point, you can forget about being at the top of your game. Steroid Q&A – New Drug Better Than Nolvadex??? Q: Someone told me to take the drug Femera, instead of Nolvadex, now that I’m on the gear, in order to keep my testosterone cycle from aromatizing and causing bitch tits. What is Femera and why isn’t Nolvadex good anymore? Also, I tried to source this drug and cannot seem to source it anywhere. I’m pretty resourceful and can’t imagine why I can’t find it on the internet. Add 20 Pounds to Your Bench in 4 Weeks! There's no doubt that a guy reading this who uses AAS, and one who does not, are going to get different results from any mass-building program. Everyone should start off by saying this, but maybe some assume it goes without saying. However, on the other hand, the good news is, we really believe that someone natural can still add 10-15 pounds to his bench using this exact program, provided that he eats appropriate calories, gets appropriate rest, and uses supplements to his advantage, such as creatine, glutamine, and others that enhance one's recovery and/or strength. Really, it's technique, discipline and pushing oneself beyond a certain point. So, to sum up, if the AAS user is a lazy bugger, and the natural dude is motivated to succeed - no matter what - we think even the natural dude can surpass the lazy bugger. 'Nuff said. SUPERFLY SUPERSETS Everything is supersized and maximized these days from the cars we buy to the meals we eat. If only there was a way to maximize your workout so that you could build up your muscles to look really ripped with a high intensity workout with the minimum of effort and time. Well, it just so happens that there is such a method. Its called training with supersets and it lets you build maximize muscle and minimize training time. Not only that, it ads excitement and dimension to workouts. If you’re looking for a way to jump-start your workout or break through a plateau, supersetting could be just what you’re looking for. THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF CREATINE Bodybuilding and Creatine are inexorably linked. That’s because creatine bridges the gap between drug users and non-drug users. Hell, everyone uses it these days. In fact, in 1999, over $20 million dollars in creatine product sales were logged. But for something so widely used, it’s probably the least understood compound on supplement shelves today. 10 WEEKS TO BOOMIN’ BICEPS Having full, pumped biceps with distinct peaks is the classic sign of a true bodybuilder. But what if you’re a serious guy who trains them every week, only to find them exactly the same size as last year? Or worse yet, the year before that? ROCK HARD ABS...CONVERT THAT KEG INTO A SIX PACK Whether you’re straight, gay, black, white, puny or super-sized, just about everyone wants to have a great set of abs. In fact, we’d venture a guess that an ab-lined trunk is the number one choice for most people if they could be endowed with just one stellar body part. FINDING THAT SPECIAL MRP You’d think by now we’ve all heard the theory about eating 5-6 small balanced meals a day. If this is news to you, you need to get out more! This ‘theory’ has been proven in many clinical studies and, more notably, in real life, as the best way to raise your metabolism and put your body in an efficient fat burning state at all times. But who really has time for 6 meals a day? Seriously? even if they are small, 6 meals a day is much easier said than done. So... what can you do if you can’t nail a 6-meal-a-day regimen? Take an MRP ... or 2 or 3! BACK 2 BASICS...JOIN THE CORE Don’t think you’re any different than your buddy in the gym who still idolizes Arnold and keeps an ongoing yearbook of articles about the “Austrian Oak” tucked inside the drawer of his bedside table. Okay, granted, you may not be fanatical about it. It isn’t likely that you’re on the FBI’s current stalker list - yet. BICEPS - Give us a Month.... Is there really anything new under the sun when it comes to training? Perhaps nothing new, but innovation, maybe. As a consumer, bodybuilder, and overall purveyor of freaky muscle, this is how you must think of any workout that's offered via magazine or website.
