  Anavar

Posted By

If you are looking for a steroid that’ll help you cut your extra fat within shortest time possible, Anavar (Oxandrolone) is what you should opt for. Anavar is a mild steroid with very less androgenic element in it which makes it an ideal choice for burning body fat without losing muscle mass or its strength. This steroid is mildly anabolic and is one of the safest options to go for, if one intends to enhance his performance. Chemically Anavar is 17b-hydroxy-17a-methyl-2-oxa-5a-androstane-3-one with molecular weight of 306.4442 g/ml at the base.

One of the prime factors that make this steroid so highly desired is that it is very mild on the HPTA (Hypothalamic-Testicular-Pituitary-Axis) of the body. This is why it is so popular among professionals like body builders and power lifters. It offers immediate strength to the muscles without affecting the natural testosterone levels in the body. This process takes place when the synthesis of phosphocreatine is stimulated in the muscle cells. The greatest advantage of this is that there are no depositions of fluid in the joints after the synthesis takes place. This greatly helps bodybuilders and sportsmen gain muscle strength within very limited period of time without an increase in the body weight.

Anavar also shows best results when it is stacked with other steroids like Deca Durabolin, Dianabol and Testosterone compounds. In other words, it improves the muscle-developing ability of other steroids when combined with them.  For better results, one can stack Anavar with Equipoise, Winstrol, Clenbuterol, T3 Cytomel, and Trenbolone. Many sportsmen also combine it with the human growth hormone. Nolvadex, Femera and Arimidex are most suited options for post cycle therapy purposes. Anavar use happens to be one of the safest practices employed for such purposes.

Hence intake of Anavar is also medically advised to people suffering from disorders like involuntary weight loss such as Grave’s disease and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).  It is also used for the treatment of other ailments such as alcoholic hepatitis, Turner syndrome and anemia and has been certified by the U.S.F.D.A.  Medical researches have found its use for increasing muscle mass and body composition in people with severe surface-area burns. In many patients, it is used to prevent muscle wasting as well.

Another reason why this popular drug is used by body builders so much is that it suppresses appetite without harming the body metabolism. The fact that it does not aromatize to form estrogen, makes it most preferred during pre-competition phases.

Since this mild drug is already a derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), it does not get converted to DHT in the body when consumed. This is why Anavar has a shorter half-life when compared to other anabolic steroids. Hence the risk of side effects such as gynecomastia and liver damage, in this case is minimal. It is only when this steroid is administered in very high quantities for a long period of time that it may show traces of side effects. Anavar however has always been termed as a user friendly steroid which makes it the most recommended drug among bodybuilders.  Those consuming the steroid are likely to see its results six weeks after its administration.

Apart from maintaining the natural testosterone levels in the body, Anavar use does not inhibit the release of GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone) and LHRH (luteinizing hormone releasing hormone), FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone), IGF1 (Insulin like Growth Factor 1), and GH (Growth Hormone) in the body, unlike the case in other anabolic steroids. One of the biggest benefits associated with use of Anavar is that its results are not age dependent. This is so because it is a best option for field professionals who need to stay clean when tested for drugs and still require to keep their weight as well as fat at bay.

One of the most desired aspects of Anavar use is that it does not lead to any weight gains or bulking of the body mass. Instead it cuts the extra fat and also renders strength to the muscles. This is the reason why use of Anavar is so famously opted by both men as well as women and women prefer using Anavar more often than males as it helps them add lean tissue to their body in a short span. Being very slightly androgenic in nature, the risk of virilization is negligible. Thus we often find Anavar being quoted as a Girl Steroid’.

No matter how friendly this drug is, it should not be abused knowingly or unknowingly. Over- use over a period of time might reveal certain changes such as dark urine, acne, muscle cramps, vomiting, nausea and mood swings. These happen only if the drug is used excessively or in disproportionately huge amounts.

Dosage of Anavar among women should not increase 10mg – 20mg a day.  Men are recommended to start with 50mg a day. However depending on the individual some might also begin the cycle with 80mg or even 100 mg per day. It is strictly advisable that Anavar should not be consumed for more than 6-8 weeks as the body might get immune to its action mechanism. One can always resume its use after a break. The active life of Anavar is for 8 to 12 hours and can be detected for almost 3 weeks.

Anavar being a popular drug can easily be bought from the market. It is widely purchased online by sportsmen and bodybuilders. It is available in varied forms such as injectables, capsules and tablets.

  T3 Cytomel

Posted By

Cytomel is the market name for Liothyronine sodium and is the L-isomer of triiodothyronine (T3). It is one of the most potent forms of thyroid hormone and is used in the treatment of hypothyroidism and myxedema coma. It stands under the systematic (IUPAC) name of sodium (2S)-2-amino-3-[4-(4-hydroxy-3-iodophenoxy)-3,5-diiodophenyl] propanoate.

Cytomel is a favoured drug because it acts fast and has a shorter biological half-life due to less plasma protein binding with thyroxine-binding globulin and transthyretin. In the body it is known to enhance the basal metabolic rate, initiate protein synthesis and increase body’s receptivity to catecholamines, particularly adrenaline by permissiveness.

There are two categories of thyroid hormone preparations. First is the Natural hormone preparation which is derived from an animal steroid and second is the synthetic preparation. Natural steroid includes desiccated thyroid derived from domesticated animals and thyroglobulin, derived from thyroid glands of the hog. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has standardized the total iodine content of natural preparations. In the body, this natural T3 initiates the process of oxidative metabolism of the energy producing food substrates or those stored in the fat, muscles and glycogen. This takes place in the mitochondria of our cells, which are popularly called the ‘powerhouses’ because it is here that energy for the consumption of the body is produced.

Consumption of Cytomel increases the absorption of nutrients into the mitochondria. It also leads to an increase in the rate at which these food particles are burned to produce energy. This takes place by catalyzing the activities of enzymes involved in the oxidative metabolic pathway of the oxidation process. Hence an increase in the metabolic rate means higher requirement of fuel in the body. And if the body happens to be in a hypocaloric state, it will start burning the fat in the body at even a higher rate. This primarily takes place because of increase in the ATP produced in the mitochondria. In other words, an increased in the level of ATP causes an increase in overall metabolic activity of the body which is why Cytomel is taken.

Here an important thing to be kept in mind is that since mitochondrion needs fuel to facilitate its production of energy, it uses anything that comes its way to do so. It means that it there aren’t any food substrates available for the body to produce energy, the body uses the fat, proteins and even glucose to draw its fuel from. It might also start to feed on the muscles in the body to create this energy. Considering this function of the mitochondria, it is imperative that Cytomel be taken along with other anabolic steroids. This is because if the user is on a diet while taking Cytomel and does not combine it with other anabolic steroids along with it, he might lose out a great amount of muscle.

Hence Cytomel plays an important role in optimizing the metabolic rate of the user’s body. This is exactly what bodybuilders tend to achieve during their training period. Because of its ability to synthesize protein at a fast rate, Cytomel use is considered to be one of the best options to be included during pre-contest dietary. This is because it helps in the elimination of what is called the ‘sticky fat’ or the fat which somehow doesn’t want to leave your body in the last weeks of your dieting.  Many experts think that instead of taking in the last phase to cut fat, it can be always be taken initially as well when one wants to burn maximum fat by increasing body’s metabolism.

For best results in minimum time, it is highly recommended that Cytomel be used with Insulin, Anabolic Steroids and the Growth Hormone. Cytomel proves to be very useful when taken with Clenbuterol as it stops the down regulation of beta 2 receptors caused by Clen.

It is best advised to use Cytomel for optimizing your body’s metabolic rate for 9 to 10 months a year. The remaining 2 to 3 months can be used as a recovery period.

Some common side effects associated with Cytomel (incase of heavy dosage for a prolonged period) are excessive sweating, stomach cramps, irritability, insomnia, vomiting, weight loss, headache, increased appetite, fever, and diarrhea.

  Clenbuterol

Posted By

Clenbuterol or Clen is commonly used as a bronchodilator by people suffering from respiratory disorders. It is a sympathomimetic amine broadly marketed as Spiropent and Ventipulmin and most commonly accessible as hydrochloride salt. It is known under the systematic (IUPAC) name, (RS)-1-(4-amino-3, 5- dichlorophenyl)-2-(tert-butylamino) ethanol. Clen is a β2 agonist and is pharmacologically quite similar to epinephrine and salbutamol. However, its effects are stronger and fast acting as a stimulant.

The high demand of Clenbuterol is mainly because of its fast fat-burning properties. It increases the metabolic activity by stimulating the beta-2 receptors which in turn increases the internal temperature of the body. This increased cellular heat leads of burning of fat in the body and hence proves to be highly beneficial for people intending to avoid extra fat, particularly body- builders. However, Clen is known to have very less beta-1 stimulating properties. Since these receptors are related to the cardiac effects, Clenbuterol causes reduction of the reversible airway barrier which results in very less or no cardiovascular side effects whatsoever as compared to nonselective beta agonists.

Being an anabolic steroid, Clen is also considered to increase muscle mass in the body. This is the reason why this drug is so widely used among the athletes. Clenbuterol is also known to have thermogenic property which enhances its ability to fuel the fat cells, causing rapid breakdown of triglycerides to form free fatty acids.

Users of Clen have found its benefits to be extremely effective and long lasting. This is because Clen has an extremely long life of 34 hours. Hence bodybuilders and athletes using this steroid only need to administer a single dose a day as its presence in the blood levels is easily facilitated and remains steady as well.

High doses of Clenbuterol are associated with certain side effects such as lack of sleep, excessive sweating, nausea, shaking of the hands and high blood pressure. Medical observations have revealed that these symptoms considerably reduce after their intake is stopped. One should not immediately start taking large amounts of Clenbuterol initially. They should start with 2 tablets a day which can be increased to 8 per day. Women wanting to use the steroid for similar results should not exceed use of 4 tablets a day.

One should also bear in mind that a rise in body temperature due to Clen administration is a normal process. This is because the body is burning energy from the fat at a very fast rate. However, it does not make the user uncomfortable. If it does, one should immediately see a physician. The effect of Clen differs from person to person but its most likely effects remain from 4 to 6 weeks. Once its effect diminishes, the body temperature of the user will return to normal. To achieve better results, it is advised to stop using the steroid for a few weeks and then start its usage again.

Clenbuterol is known to give higher results when consumed with thyroid hormones such as Cytomel. Many athletes have reported highly productive results upon taking the two drugs together. For this combined intake, one need not change his diet either.  It is observed that this combination is very widely used as a growth hormone therapy which largely enhances the anabolic as well as thermogenic properties of Clenbuterol.

Clen can be taken in various forms such as tablets, syrups and injections. They are also employed to treat illnesses like arrhythmias, migraines, anaphylactic shock and hypertension. This drug can easily be acquired on the internet. There are many sites which sell this anabolic drug from where it can be ordered, with or without a prescription.

  Contador awaits WADA decision

Posted By

Alberto Contador, three times Tour de France winner, is not sure if his 2012 season plans will be fulfilled or not.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will decide fate of the cyclist in January 2012.

Contador said, “The main goal is to win the Tour de France. I know it’s very hard. Everybody wants to win, but I will work hard for it. I do not know if I can win or not, but I’ll try. I want to be as well organized as I can possibly be next year and arrive rested and relaxed for the Tour. [This year] I had a good preparation, but next year I want to make it perfect”.

From Blogs.bettor.com:

He mentioned, “I’m very confident because of all of the controls and the scientific facts supporting my case, I believe there will be a favourable resolution”.

Spanish Cycling Federation cleared the cyclist in February as it accepted that clenbuterol was the result of contaminated beef.

Contador was tested positive for a very small amount of drug which is believed to enhance the aerobic capacity of athletes. There are a number of things which can turn the decision in his favour.

The lab that detected clenbuterol in the sample was equipped with ultra-sensitive machines that can detect even the smallest amount of drug which would otherwise pass the systems, leaving no trace.

The 28-year-old is positive that the court will announce the decision in his favour but wants to get over with the lingering court matters soon.

The cyclist tested positive for Clenbuterol in 2010 but the decision on his case has not been announced as yet.

  Clenbuterol hearing for Contador completed

Posted By

The four-day hearing of Alberto Contador at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) over his positive about his positive for clenbuterol in the 2010 Tour has finished. The verdict in the case is expected some time early in the New Year.

Contador, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) all have maintained their initial positions during the hearing in Lausanne, Switzerland.

From Cyclingweekly.co.uk:

The UCI and WADA believe Contador deserves a ban of up to two years for doping, and Contador claims the positive was due to his eating a contaminated steak and that he should go clear.

Contador – unusually for athletes – has been present throughout the hearing, which ended with a 15-minute personal appeal by the Spaniard in defence of his case. However, Contador – who was cross-examined on Wednesday – did not make any comments to the press when he left the CAS building on Thursday afternoon, and neither did WADA and the UCI’s lawyers.

Contador v. the UCI/WADA case will be remembered as the second longest in CAS history after the case of deposed 2006 Tour winner Floyd Landis who tested positive for testosterone.

  Clenbuterol

Posted By

Clenbuterol, popularly known as Clen, is one of the best weight loss drugs admired by sportsmen when it comes to getting rid of body fat without losing on muscle mass and body strength. The bronchodilator and selective Beta-2-symphatonimetric agonist is a commonly-prescribed drug for asthma to reduce specific kinds of airway obstruction without much in the way of cardiovascular effect.

The chemical name of Clenbuterol is 4-Amino-alpha-[(tert-butylamino) methyl]-3, 5-dichlorobenzyl alcohol Monohydrochloride and its molecular formula is C12H18 CI2N2O. Its molecular weight is 277.193 g/mol at the base and Clen is available online for purchase, with or without medical prescription, in varying forms like pills, tablets, injections, and syrups.

Clenbuterol is also known as Spiropen, Ventipulmin, Contraspasmina, and Broncodil. It is best known for promoting dramatic increases in the terms of aerobic capacity and its smooth muscle relaxant properties. The pre-contest cutting drug is also effective to promote lean body appearance and avoid fluid retention besides improving transportation of oxygen in the body. Clen use is also associated with significant increases in terms of muscle fiber, muscle composition, and stamina. It is also useful in reducing protein rate in the muscle cells so that enlargement of muscle cells becomes easy.

One of the unique things about Clenbuterol is that it increases temperature of the body to a small extent via enhanced heat production in the Mitochondria. This, in turn, increases the basal metabolic rate and reduces appetite.

In addition to all these benefits, use of Clenbuterol is also associated with improvements in the ratio of fat free mass by reducing fat. Furthermore, Clen is also used to reduce insulin sensitivity and is an effective repartitioning agent. Medically, Clen is recommended to individuals afflicted with severe health conditions, including acute and chronic spastic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, pulmonary emphysema, and asthmatic bronchitis.

Some of the popular sportsmen who are supposed to have used this drug are three-time Tour de France champion Alberto Contador of Spain, American swimmer Jessica Hardy, Polish sprint canoer Adam Seroczynski, Chinese cyclist Li Fuyu, and St. Louis Cardinals minor league shortstop Lainer Bueno.

The recommended dose of Clenbuterol for men is 100-140mcg per day and 80-100mcg per day for women, with or without meals and best taken in a cycle of 3 week on, 3 week off. The use of Cytomel may be made to optimize the benefits of Clenbuterol. The use of Clenbuterolshould not be made for any purpose other than legal and must always be recommended by a qualified medical practitioner. Clen should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women or those suffering from high blood pressure, breast cancer, or prostate cancer.

Clenbuterol abuse should be avoided by users as it can lead to side effects such as excessive sweating, nausea, palpitation, insomnia, tachycardia, and headache. In case cramps become a common sight after Clen use, users should consume 8-10 glasses of water per day to avoid them. In order to maintain its shelf life, Clenbuterol should be stored at a controlled temperature of 15-30° C and protected against direct heat, sunlight, and moisture.

  primobolan-2

Posted By

Primobolan, also known as Primo or Methenolone enanthate is a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) based anabolic steroid used by professional sportsmen to experience and deliver dramatic on-field performance. The long-acting anabolic with extremely low androgenic properties is considered by sport coaches and advanced sportsmen as the best performance enhancing drug when it comes to improving the levels of muscle definition, muscle mass, body strength, and endurance.

Available in oral as well as injectable forms, Primo is best classified as a mild anabolic agent with little or no androgenic activity at low doses. It has the chemical name of 17ß-hydroxy-1-methyl-5a-androst-1-en-3-one acetate and its anabolic/androgenic ratio is 88:44-57. The steroid can be detected for nearly three to eight weeks and has an active life of approximately five days. It has the molecular formula of C22H32O3 and has the molecular weight of 344.488 g/mol at the base.

One of the best things that differentiate Primobolan from other legal anabolic steroids is that its use does not lead to excess formation of estrogens, which could have led to side effects such as gynecomastia, acne, and oily skin. Primobolan is also effective to promote nitrogen retention and protein synthesis besides improving the level of red blood cells in the body. In addition to that, this legitimate steroid can be purchased online, with or without a medical prescription.

Medically, Primobolan is prescribed to women suffering with breast cancer as it has the unique ability to inhibit estrogen biosynthesis. The steroid is also prescribed to AIDS patients who find it difficult to gain or maintain body mass.

Primobolan is also useful to produce more of active and total testosterone, the male primary sex hormone, by promoting sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and luteinizing hormone (LH). In addition to that, use of this steroid is very effective to suppress the synthesis of endogenous testosterone from the testes. This legitimate steroid is also beneficial in improving muscle mass and body strength in as short as four to eight weeks. The non 17-alkylate steroid is generally safe and side effects after using this steroid are rare. Primo is not 17-alpha-alkylated, but is 1-methylated for oral bioavailability. Moreover, this affordable steroid has minimal effects on the levels of blood pressure and cholesterol (that too, only in acute cases). This legal steroid is best used during off-seasons by sportsmen who are tested for drugs and want to stay clean to avoid hassles.

The recommended dose of Primobolan for men is 100-150mg per day when taken in oral form and 300-600mg per week when taken in injectable form. In other words, the recommended dose is 2-3 mg per kilogram of body weight. For women, the ideal dose of Primo is 50-100mg per week. The steroid is usually stacked with Clenbuterol, T3, Deca Durabolin, Testosterone, Dianabol, and Anadrol. Primobolan use should always be made after the recommendation of a qualified medical practitioner and for legal purposes only. Under no circumstances, this steroid should be abused else it can lead to side effects such as fatigue, anger, breast enlargement, nausea, vomiting, and mood swings.

  More than hundred sentenced in tainted pork scandal

Posted By

Chinese official state media has reported that China penalized 113 people, including 17 government employees, over a chemical tainted pork scandal.

China Daily revealed Liu Xiang, the prime suspect, received the death sentence with two years’ reprieve on conviction of harming public safety.

From English.ntdtv.com:

The Chinese regime continues to struggle reeling in corruption in the food industry. One hundred thirteen people have been sentenced in a tainted pork scandal that came to light earlier this year. Several farms were using a banned chemical called Clenbuterol in their pig feed—it made the pork leaner and therefore more expensive, but could poison people. Most of those sentenced were involved in producing or selling the chemical. Also sentenced were government officials such has health inspectors, who turned a blind eye and now face corruption charges.

The official state media Xinhua reported Liu and collaborator, Xi Zhongjie, sold over 2,700 kilograms of clenbuterol to pork farmers across eight provinces in China.

  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.
