Back to Basics

Forget everything you've heard about muscle building. Its BACK to BASICS.





Now that I've grabbed your attention.. Lets begin..

What are Supplements?

Supplement Shop
Supplements are exactly that.. "Something that completes or enhances something else when added to it." Supplementing from a food source that you cant get at that point in time.














What is Protein?
We eat lean meats for protein, and when we cant, we supplement with protein shakes to keep our protein levels up. Protein cannot be stored in the system.
Consuming protein helps your muscles recover from workouts.
You should be consuming 3 grams of protein per kilo of body weight for better gains.









What is Creatine?

There are many types of creatine, the most common is Creatine Monohydrate which helps recover you faster and builds strength.










Testosterone & Muscle Building
The more testosterone you have in your system, the easier it is to build muscles. You can build muscles three ways..
  • Natural testosterone
  • Natural testosterone boosted with supplements
  • Synthetic testosterone (Anabolic Steroids)
Increase Natural Testosterone (Free Testosterone)
  • Zinc - ~15% increase
  • Magnesium - ~15% increase 
  • ZMA (Blend of Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B6) - ~20% increase
  • DAA (D-Aspartic Acid) - ~40% increase
Water Intake and Muscle Building
The human body is 80% water, increasing water intake will increase your muscle building results.


Sleep and Muscle Building
Your muscles grow when your resting, the more sleep you get, the more your muscles grow, however if you sleep too much, you might feel lazy, and tired so its good to understand your body. 


Understanding your Body
Sleep when your tired, eat when your hungry, drink water when your thirsty. You get the picture. Get into the habit of drinking water with all your meals.


What is a Steroid?

Types of Steroids
Any of a large class of organic compounds with a characteristic molecular structure containing four rings of carbon atoms (three six-membered and one five).

The contraceptive women use for birth control are a form steroids, but the one we are leaning towards are, anabolic steroids.

If your female, I'd strongly suggest you to stay away from anabolic steroids, this is a male hormone, if you take it, it will make you look like a man. The females who decide to have a sex change take testosterone to transform them into more of a man.

Why are Steroids Illegal?
Steroid Use
Simply put.. many people don't know how to use them and the government doesn't want the doctors office to be filled with people injuring themselves from not knowing what they're doing. I don't blame them, but no matter what, if someone wants to take anabolic steroids, they'll find a way to get it and will take it. If the government wants to stop unnecessary visits to the doctors office, they should make alcohol/smoking illegal because these cause the most deaths.

Steroids are one of the safest drugs out there. The biggest possible side effect ever existing from anything is death.

You can die from "safe and legal" tylenol (pain killer) if you take 100 pills, you wont die if you take 100 pills of dbol but your liver will most likely fail.

Drinking alcohol isn't considered immoral or illegal (if your over 21). Yet drinking KILLS 1000 of people each year in UNITED states alone.

Through entire steroid history of 50+ years, and millions of users only few people have died. Those people who died were few and it was their fault.

Drinking on other hand kills indiscriminately, innocent, healthy, or not. As you read this there probably have been an accident involving the usage of "safe legal and moral drug", alcohol.

Steroids can be related to your death if you majorly up, and your health is horrible to begin with. However unlike smoking and drinking I WONT BE AFFECTED BY IT. You see safety isn't and issue here.

If a woman can get a false penis made and be prescribed hormones to help her become a man, and if a man can be prescribed hormones to grow after his sex change operation, then why can't a man be given hormones to help him grow a little extra muscle?

In this country, a man can become a woman but it's against the law to become more of a man. It's really silly when you think about it. You can go get artificial pec implants, but you're not allowed to use a hormone that would help you grow your own pecs.

The main goal should be to keep steroids out of the hands of teenagers and those who don't know how to use them. If doctors were able to prescribe them, that would dry up a large part of the black market. At the very least, the laws against personal use should be relaxed. I'd much rather see law enforcement focusing on hard drugs and terrorists right now than trying to bust some guy who wants to increase his bench press.

What are Anabolic Steroids?

Anabolic Steroid Vials
Anabolic steroids are drugs which are derived from testosterone,which is a male hormone. Some are in tablet form and others are injected into muscle.

Tablet form anabolic steroids need to pass through your digestion system and then into your blood stream via the liver which is very toxic and may cause your liver to build liver cysts, liver cancer and may even cause it to fail that's why I'd advise to stay away from oral tablet form steroids.


How to make your own Anabolic Steroids?
You can make your own steroids if you can source the ingredients, plenty of articles on the internet to teach you how. No links available.


What is a PCT (Post Cycle Therapy)?
When you use steroids, your body ceases, or greatly reduces (depending on several factors, chemical,dosage, etc) it's own testosterone production in response to the increase in supplemental testosterone from the steroids.


Example PCT for Testosterone Enanthate
  • Day 1 - Clomid 200mg + Nolvadex 40mg
  • Day 2 - 10 days - Clomid 50mg + Nolvadex 20mg
  • Day 11 - Following 20 days - Clomid 50mg or Nolvadex 20mg

Do you need to use Steroids?
This is completely up to you. Risk vs Benefit. It gets results, long term side effects are unknown and if you've heard something like it causes heart disease, its not a proven fact and cant be proven. All of the short term side effects can be reversed if you have a proper Post Cycle Therapy.

The side effects experienced are.. water retention, faster hair growth, testicular shrinkage (heh, who needs them) and increased blood pressure. All reversed when you come off the drug. PCT helps heaps!


A PCT is a must if your going to use Anabolic Steroids. 

If you decide to use anabolic steroids, get blood test, and let your doctor know. Its also suggested that you don't tell anyone at work that your on them as you may loose your job.

You'll find that 99.99% of bodybuilders/models will not admit to steroid use because they'd loose sponsor contracts.

Where to buy Anabolic Steroids?
Make friends with someone at your gym that "obviously" takes steroids, pop the question when the time is right. *wink*

You can buy them online, but can you trust what your really buying is the real thing.

What is the Safest Anabolic Steroid to take?
I think the safest steroids to take is no steroids, but if you were to take steroids, it would have to be Testosterone Enanthate because you only have to take it once/twice a week. You split your dosage on Monday and Thursday to keep your testosterone levels up. Enanthate will make the testosterone release slowly from injection area.

Testosterone Enanthate & Gynecomastia
Simply put.. The more testosterone you take, the more testosterone to estrogen conversion that will take place.. Jack might have higher estrogen in his system from the same amount of testosterone that Jason is taking. Everyone is different. 

Reversing Gynecomastia
The only proven drug that can reverse Gynecomastia is Letrozole. Effective dosage is 1.25mg/day for 3 weeks. If you take anymore than 2.5mg/day of Letro you will kill your sex drive, some experience if they take 2mg/day, everyone is different. If you want to prevent gynecomastia during a cycle, you'll only need to take 0.75mg per day.

Steroids and Aggression
Crazy Tricep Flex
Steroids will increase aggression if your naturally stressed/aggressive. 'Roid rage' only affects 5% of steroid users.

Steroids and Birth Defects
Anabolic Steroids have not been proven to cause birth defects when used by males. Many people have got their partner pregnant while on steroids.

Steroids and Ages
If your under the age of 22 and you want to use steroids, I'd suggest you to wait until your 22.
If you choose to use anabolic steroids and your under the age of 22, your probably going to have erection problems at an early age because you didn't let your body fully develop.

Building Muscles and Smoking
Smoking will affect your gains & your ability to breath properly. The earlier you quit smoking the better.

Building Muscles and Ejaculation
Ejaculating semen is proven to decrease testosterone and strength. The longer you go without ejaculating, the better you'll feel. Think about the benefits, no regrets, more strength, more testosterone, faster results. You decide.
