  Equipoise-Boldenone

Posted By

Equipoise (1,4-androstadiene-3-one-17β-ol, available as the undecylenate ester) is one of the most popular sport steroids. The anabolic steroid (also known as Boldenone, Equigan, Ganabol, and Ultragan) is characterized by a low androgenic potency and high anabolic activity.

The steroid was originally developed as a long-acting injectable methandrostenolone (Dianabol) but does not have properties similar to methandrostenolone. Equipoise has a very long half-life because of the long undecylenate ester attached to the parent steroid. Use of this potent anabolic steroid is commonly associated with improvements in terms of protein synthesis, nitrogen retention, appetite, and release of erythropoietin (EPO) in the kidneys.

Equipoise use has been largely associated with dramatic improvements in the levels of aggression, which is considered a good thing among sportsmen. Use of this anabolic steroid is also effective in promoting stamina, muscle mass, muscle function, and performance besides helping sportsmen recover quickly from fatigue and stress associated with intense workouts.

Also known as Boldenone Undecylenate, Boldenone is commonly used by professional sportsmen as its long life helps them avoid frequent oral dosing or repeated injections while reaping optimum benefits of this legitimate steroid. One of the best things about Equipoise is that it can be made a part of both cutting and bulking cycles and its use does not lead to side effects. If that is not all, proper use of Equipoise does not lead to side effects and its gains are nearly permanent. Another advantage of this steroid is that it does not result in estrogenic side effects like oily skin and gynecomastia unless abused or of low grade. All these and many reasons make Equipoise the “preferred choice” of sportsmen, especially those in Mixed martial arts, Athletics, Major League Soccer, Australian Rules football, Bodybuilding, Boxing, and Cycling.

Some of the popular sportsmen who have used Equipoise are Los Angeles Angels minor league outfielder Reynaldo Ruiz and Philadelphia Phillies minor league pitcher San Lazaro Solano. Josh Barnett and Stephan Bonnar, mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters from the UFC and PRIDE Fighting Championships have also tested positive for Equipoise. Former PRIDE and UFC fighter Phil Baroni, Muay Thai turned MMA fighter Kit Cope, EliteXC Heavyweight Champion Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva, Alexandre Franca Nogueira, Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva, New York Red Bulls’ Jon Conway (goal keeper) and Jeff Parke (defender), and former three time boxing champion James Toney have also used Equipoise.

The recommended dose of Equipoise is 400-600 mg per week for men and 50-150 mg per week for women during a steroid cycle of six to eight weeks. Boldenone can be stacked with Anavar, Testosterone, and Trenbolone or Anadrol and Sustanon during a steroid cycle. It should, however, not be used by those having an existing allergy to Boldenone or any of its ingredients or by pregnant or breastfeeding women or those suffering from breast or prostate cancer. Since Equipoise is a potent drug and its abuse can lead to side effects such as water retention, oily skin, acne, and gynecomastia, it should not be taken without the supervision of a physician.

  Zadel receives ban of two years

Posted By

Since the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority released a report on November 9, Christine Zadel has been carrying pain and shame for being a banned bodybuilding competitor.

Zadel said she is deeply remorseful for what she describes as “negligence” for the blemish on her career.

From Dailyadvertiser.com.au:

After testing positive for performance enhancers clenbuterol and glycerol during the International Natural Bodybuilding Association state titles in Sydney last year, Mrs Zadel has set about putting her life back together over the past 12 months.

Mrs Zadel believes the “simple mistake” has tarnished her reputation.

“To be honest, there are people out there that do it all the time and I was the unlucky one to get caught,” she said.

“But it’s to the credit of INBA that they crack down so hard on it.

“I can understand there will be a bit of a kerfuffle about it for the next few months but I’ll just have to ride the wave.

“Wagga is such a small town and people will gossip, but I have to try and move on,” she said.

  St Helens detective supplied steroids

Posted By

A St Helens detective has recently admitted being part of a gang that was involved in supplying bodybuilding steroids and passing secret intelligence to a man accused of gun offences.

Detective Constable Paul David Fletcher, 46, admitted while appearing at Liverpool Crown Court that he was being involved in the supply of class C drugs to fellow St Helens policeman Sgt Paul Hornby, 43.

From Sthelensstar.co.uk:

Hornby, of Bembridge Court, Wigan, who had also been due to face trial along with Fletcher next month, also changed his plea to admit possessing class C drugs.

But the most serious charges are against Fletcher, who admitted three offences of misconduct in a public office.

Those allegations include Fletcher providing secret intelligence to a man accused of gun offences.

Liverpool Crown Court heard how Fletcher met the man, who was on bail, on January 25 to discuss his arrest and the evidence against him.

Both the St Helens policemen are suspended from duty.

  Testosterone Cypionate

Testosterone Cypionate

 

testosterone-cypionate-cypionax-ampulesWhen it comes to treating individuals with low testosterone and promoting muscle mass like never before, testosterone cypionate is one of the most trusted anabolic steroids in today’s times.

This testosterone derivative is a highly potent performance enhancing drug that is second to none as far as promoting improvements in terms of muscle mass, body strength, performance, and muscle definition are concerned. Moreover, the steroid is extremely safe to use and does not lead to any side effect.

The molecular formula of testosterone cypionate is C27H40O3 and is an oil-soluble 17β-cyclopentylpropionate ester of the androgenic hormone (testosterone). It has the molecular weight of 412.61 g/mol at the base and the chemical name of 17β-androst-4-en-3-one, 17-(3-cyclopentyl-1-oxopropoxy). This cypionate version of testosterone has an anabolic/androgenic ratio of 100:100 and is freely soluble in alcohol, chloroform, dioxane, ether, and soluble in vegetable oils.

Classified as a controlled substance under the Anabolic Steroids Control Act and assigned to Schedule III, testosterone cypionate is admired by almost everyone, especially those into bodybuilding, weightlifting, and strength training. Medically, this testosterone derivative is recommended to men and women treated for low testosterone levels in the body and those experiencing symptoms of deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone. Sportsmen use this compound of testosterone to gain quick muscles, body strength, stamina, and ability to handle intense workouts and recover quickly from injuries.

The recommended dose of this anabolic steroids is 200-1000 mg per week for first-time users, for a maximum period of 6-8 weeks at a stretch. Familiar users use this testosterone derivative in doses of 500-1000 mg per week for a period of 6-8 weeks. Testosterone cypionate is available in oral and injectable forms and is preferably administered with a 22-23 gauge needle with a 1 or 2ml syringe usually about 1″ length via intramuscular injections. The common sites for testosterone cypionate injections are deltoid (shoulder), Triceps and Biceps (arms), Ventrogluteal part of the Gluteus (region slightly on right upper side of buttocks, Pectorals (chest region), and dorsogluteal site (buttock).

One of the most amazing facts about testosterone cypionate is that it can be stacked with almost all legal anabolic steroids and performance enhancing drugs (PEDs). Since use of this testosterone compound can lead to formation of excess estrogens in some cases, it is best to have ready supplies of antiestrogens like Arimidex, Nolvadex, and Clomid, especially for those prone to estrogen formation.

The anabolic steroid should be used only after medical advice and should be used only as per the medical recommendation. Testosterone cypionate should not be abused knowingly or unknowingly else it can lead to side effects, including acne, change in sex drive, irritation, gum pain, hair loss, and headache. Use of this drug must be discontinued and medical advice should be sought immediately if a user of this drug experiences abnormalities like bone pain, increased thirst, memory problems, restless feeling, confusion, nausea, loss of appetite, increased urination, weakness, muscle twitching, increased or ongoing erection of the penis, or swelling after using testosterone cypionate.

  Details of Lebanon YMCA steroid bust revealed

Posted By

Authorities recently said local professional athletes – who haven’t been charged — are being probed in a far-reaching Warren County drug investigation.

The investigation involved busting a clandestine anabolic steroids lab in Tennessee that led to indictments of 32 people.

From Communitypress.cincinnati.com:

The suspects who have been indicted hail from six Ohio counties plus Tennessee. They include a Liberty Township gym owner, a champion Cincinnati bodybuilder, a manager at LA Fitness in West Chester Township and an exotic dancer from Middletown.

“It was a tight network” that required deep undercover work to infiltrate, Burke said, noting the suspects knew each other from gyms and bodybuilding.

“Virtually everybody we dealt with had no criminal record,” Burke said, which is atypical for drug investigations.

“There are at least two (professional athletes) we feel have an involvement in this operation,” said John Burke, commander of the Warren County Drug Task Force. “The investigation is ongoing and there may well be charges (against the athletes).”

  Bethel drug dealer reaches plea deal with prosecutors

Posted By

In what has been termed as a large-scale drug ring by law enforcement officials, a Bethel man facing federal charges has reached a plea deal with prosecutors.

According to court records, Mark Mansa, 46, who was arrested in February on federal drug charges, is scheduled to appear before U.S. Judge Vanessa L. Bryant on Nov. 16 to enter a new plea in the case.

From Newstimes.com:

Prosecutors said Mansa operated a drug ring that distributed large quantities of marijuana for about four years and used his ties with people connected to organized crime and the Hells Angels to intimidate others.

Mansa is also the only member of the ring who is facing charges related to the distribution of anabolic steroids.

Federal prosecutors have said in court that Mansa was involved in steroid sales for nearly seven years and counted among his clients area high school athletes, as well as those in the bodybuilding industry.

The investigation into the drug ring, which started in 2005, included Danbury Police Department detectives and personnel from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.

  Use of steroids on a high despite dangers

Posted By

The air inside Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium is thick with a handful of men flexing and posing onstage at the annual Lebanese Bodybuilding Championship on Oct. 8.

George, an ex-bodybuilder whose name has been changed to protect confidentiality, whispers ““See that guy?”, pointing to a contestant who looks puny and underdeveloped next to the bulging bronzed giants on either side of him. “He doesn’t use steroids. It’s obvious. He just can’t compete.

From Dailystar.com.lb:

Performance-enhancing substances such as steroids and growth hormones are the elephant in the room at bodybuilding championships, gyms and playing fields across the globe. Many people take these substances, which are illegal in Lebanon and most countries, in order to achieve a variety of physiological effects including increased energy and rapid muscle growth. The most commonly used are anabolic steroids, which are usually injected into the bloodstream and mimic the effects of testosterone in the body, increasing protein synthesis in the muscles.

They also cause a variety of harmful or unpleasant side effects, according to Dr. Johnny Ibrahim, the official doctor of Lebanon’s national football team.

According to Jihad Haddad, medical secretary of the Lebanese Olympic Committee, steroids are fast becoming an epidemic in Lebanon.

  WWE star denies steroid use

Posted By

Sin Cara is in damage control mode after WWE suspended him for a period of thirty days for violating their Talent Wellness Program by testing positive for anabolic steroids in June.

The violation has put Cara’s career with WWE in complete danger.

From Cagesideseats.com:

For starters, Record posted audio of the interview so he couldn’t claim to be misquoted like Rey Mysterio did when he gave an interview in Mexico after his suspension in 2009 for improperly using painkillers.  Anyway, Sin Cara is saying that it’s all a mistake, as it was an injection for his knee that could cause a false positive.  This is all a load of crap, and Kurt Angle tried to use basically the same excuse to explain the suspension he served a couple months before he was fired by WWE.  Angle claimed that WWE flagged him for a cortisone shot because it’s a “steroid” that was injected by his primary care doctor instead of a pain specialist.  In fact, he tested positive for nandrolone.

Cortisone is a corticosteroid that is commonly injected directly injured injured areas as an anti-inflammatory agent.  It is NOT like nandrolone (brand name Deca-Durabolin),an anabolic androgenic steroid, the class of drug colloquially called “steroids” when talking about bodybuilding and performance enhancement.  They’re different animals.  One could not cause a false positive for the other.  Nandrolone is indicated for treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women and aplastic anemia.  Which anabolic steroids do in fact make the joints feel better, none are indicated for musculoskeletal issues and no legitimate doctor would prescribe them for injuries.  It’s common for wrestlers and other athletes to try to confuse the general public’s lack of understanding of the different types of drugs referred to as “steroids.”  When someone says “I used anabolic steroids for treatment of an injury,” he’s full of it.

Cara promised that he will be meeting with Vince McMahon for discussing the suspension.

SACKED COP TO LAUNCH LEGAL ACTIONDarren Towers, the bodybuilding cop, who was dismissed from his rank of Sergeant by Northumbria Police for gross misconduct is to launch legal action against police for “excessive punishment”.

Darren was sacked for using steroids after he admitted in court that he used the class C drug.

From Chroniclelive.co.uk:

The amateur bodybuilder was arrested last year and charged with conspiracy to supply steroids, but was found not guilty after a trial.

Despite being cleared of all charges, he was sacked this month following a lengthy probe by the force’s Counter Corruption Unit.

The Chronicle understands Mr Towers, 41, will launch an appeal against the decision claiming the force used excessive punishment in his case.

Friends said he feels the punishment is harsh considering his acquittal.

The ex-cop told how he had started using steroids in the 1990s during December’s trial at Newcastle Crown Court.

  Dreams of amateur bodybuilding aspirant shattered

Posted By

Dreams of amateur bodybuilding aspirant shattered The body of a Sydney student who rose to fame after transforming himself from self-confessed “skinny kid” to the pin-up boy of amateur bodybuilding is being brought home from Thailand.

Aziz Sergeyevich Shavershian, 22, who was known as “Zyzz” to his legion of online fans died in a Bangkok sauna on Friday.

From Smh.com.au:

Mr Shavershian, from Carlingford, was a fulltime business and commerce student who crafted the wildly popular online “Zyzz” persona after discovering bodybuilding in his late teens.

He released a book, began promoting bodybuilding supplements and made countless videos in character as “Zyzz”; an aggressive and flamboyant, heavily-tanned showman. Throughout his studies he also worked part-time as a stripper with the male revue Sydney Hotshots.

His elder brother, Said Shavershian, a personal trainer at Fitness First, was fined $479 recently for the possession of an anabolic steroid.
