Post Anabolic Steroid Cycle Recovery

My intention in preparing this article was to focus attention on some of the common theories about post-cycle strategies that are widely being practiced today and hopefully prevent some common mistakes. I am also going to explore some of the lesser known ergogens used to maintain size post-cycle. This article is geared primarily towards the recreational athlete or occasional steroid user, although it can be of value to the professional athlete.

You just finished a steroid cycle and have made significant gains. Through brutal workouts, proper and generous food consumption, rigid supplement use, proper psychological attitude, and lots of rest, your performances have improved, and your physique has made a significant progress. You are satisfied with the accomplished results.

However, there is more to proper steroid use than making gains while on a cycle. Successfully maximizing your gains while on is only part of the bigger picture. The toughest part – that of keeping your gains – is yet to come. Through improper and erratic steroid use, your hormonal system will be disturbed. Even if you used steroids and other ergogens properly, your organism will still have to readjust to normal physiological hormonal levels.

Oxandrolone metabolic and hormonal changes

Metabolic and hormonal changes of severely burned children receiving long-term oxandrolone treatment.
Przkora R, Jeschke MG, Barrow RE, Suman OE, Meyer WJ, Finnerty CC, Sanford AP, Lee J, Chinkes DL, Mlcak RP, Herndon DN. Department of Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch, Shriners Hospitals for Children, Galveston, TX 77550, USA.

OBJECTIVE:
When given to children for 1 year after a severe burn, oxandrolone significantly improves lean body mass, bone mineral content, and muscle strength. The beneficial effects of oxandrolone on height and weight were observed 1 year after treatment was discontinued. To study the efficacy of oxandrolone in severely burned children for 12 months after burn and 12 months after the drug was discontinued.

SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA:
Oxandrolone attenuates body catabolism during the acute phase after burn. It is unclear whether oxandrolone would have any beneficial effects during long-term treatment or if there were any effects after the drug was stopped.

Anabolic Steroids Effects

It seems that most anabolic steroids normally work by activating the human androgen receptors, producing anabolic and virilizing effects.

Here you have some examples of anabolic effects:

  • Elevated protein synthesis from amino acids
  • Increased muscle mass and strength
  • Increased appetite
  • Increased bone remodeling and growth
  • Stimulation of bone marrow increasing production of red blood cells

Some examples of virilizing effects, normally associated to side effects:

  • Growth of the clitoris (clitoral hypertrophy) in females and the penis in male children (the adult penis does not grow indefinitely even when exposed to high doses of androgens)
  • Increased growth of androgen-sensitive hair (pubic, beard, chest, and limb hair)
  • Increased vocal cord size, deepening the voice
  • Increased libido
  • Suppression of endogenous sex hormones
  • Impaired spermatogenesis

Many androgens are metabolized to compounds which also cross-react with estrogen receptors, producing additional (usually) unwanted effects:

  • Accelerated bone maturation in children
  • Increased breast growth (in males)

Insulin – bodybuilder’s drug arsenal

Yes, I know insulin is not an anabolic steroid, but in this wild world of competitions there are many other compounds used.
Is Insulin dangerous? Take a look a this basic information.

Insulin: The Double Edged Sword that makes you HUGE!

The title of this article is not a joke. Insulin is probably the most effective anabolic hormone currently used in the arsenal of top bodybuilders, but at the same time one of the most dangerous, if used incorrectly.
Before I start in to the why, what and the how on this ‘super drug’, I feel forced to first warn you of the major dangers of insulin usage and remind you that this article if for information only and does not constitute medical advice:
Death – The real danger of exogenous insulin use is hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and in extreme cases this condition can cause the athlete to fall into a coma and possibly death.
Diabetes – In theory insulin use can cause your pancreas to stop producing insulin or make it insulin resistant, this can lead to diabetes.
It can make you extremely fat – To a bodybuilder this is a major danger and if not used correctly will turn you into a fat mass.
There can be, like most other bodybuilding drugs, many other smaller side effects, mostly related to low blood sugar, such as drowsiness, sweating, distress, hunger, anxiety etc, these will subside once sugar levels are normalized.
Now that that is out the way, we can get down to the nitty gritty.

Stanozolol + Trembolone Steroid Stack

One of the most common steroid questions we receive is, “What anabolic steroids should I stack together for optimal results?” In this article, I’ll provide several stacking protocols based on feedback sent to me over the years by my readers.

Remember that the effects reported from these androgen stacks are purely anecdotal.

While science is always something I tend to side with, it’s difficult to argue with firsthand experiences. Therefore, it’s important to take what people experience and then try to use science to validate what’s occurring, or at the very least provide a clue as to why certain effects occur.

Trenbolone and Stanozolol (Winstrol)

This stack, while not producing as much of a rapid increase in lean body mass, is typically favored when reducing fat mass is the main goal. Even so, significant gains were made with little edema

How to Use Steroids Safely

Have you ever heard of the issues that revolve around performance enhancing drugs like steroids? You probably already know that these types of drugs offer benefits for certain health conditions, like bone marrow degeneration, growth problems, and hormone imbalances. In recent medical papers, anabolic steroids have shown promise in assisting in the prevention of osteoporosis, or bone loss.

However, not many people are aware of the legalities and possible health risks that are accompanying the usage of steroids. One of the reasons that people get risks from using this drug is that they do not familiarize themselves with their options, and that they do not follow a steroid cycle of administration. Overdose is always a growing concern. Furthermore, some dietary habits can counteract the effects of steroids.

So the question now is, how to use steroids safely? If you are to take steroids using injections, be sure you are administering the drug with clean or sterile hypodermic needles. If you are not aware of how to do this, have a medical practitioner help you out. In the case of the pills, be sure you follow the doses as prescribed by your fitness consultant and doctor. Some steroid cycles only need you to take pills daily for a few weeks, after which you need to stop. This helps reduce the possibility of getting side effects.

Hair Loss and Bodybuilding

lukas-osladil Everybody loses some hairs daily, for example, when combing or washing their hair, and this is a norm. But losing too much hair is a pathology and should be treated. Some start to lose hair in their twenties. The hair of others start to thin and fall out after a stress, while some people are just predisposed to hair loss and become bald gradually, as they age. Statistically men are affected by baldness much more often, than women. But what causes hair fall in men and how can it be treated?

Hair Fall Causes

About one of three men suffers from hair loss. Men are more predisposed to hair fall due to testosterone, the principal male sex hormone, which is normally present in a male’s body in larger amounts, than in a female’s one. In general hair fall can be caused by the following factors:

Anabolic steroid’s effect on hairloss

When it comes to hairloss not everybody is effected by it. Steroids will only speed up the process if you are genetically predispositiond to male pattern baldness. So if any family members are bald you have a good chance of loosing your hair to. You could always shave your head or buy a wig but we have some good information for you to try and help prevent hairloss, slow it down and in some cases even reverse it.

Hairloss is NOT a side effect that will effect everybody, it is said that if you are genetically prone to male pattern baldness (mpb) then steroids can speed up this process.

How do steroids effect the hair line?

A substance called DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) binds to the receptors in the scalps hair follicles causing thinning of the hairline.

What makes this DHT?

The simple answer Testosterone gets converted into DHT (dihydrotestosterone) by an enzyme called 5 Alpha reductase (5AR).

TESTOSTERONE —-(5AR Enzyme)———> DHT

What steroids effect the hairline then via this conversion?

Monster’s Insulin Primer!

insulin This is one of my Favorites!!

Ok, lets have a look at insulin.
Its highly anabolic and non-androgenic, and in case some of you are in the dark (I’d like to think we’re all clear on anabolic versus androgenic, but ya never know) I’ll briefly touch on the subject before diving in… if youre ok on anabolic/androgenic concepts, skip to the INSULIN part…

ANDROGENIC VERSUS ANABOLIC

ANABOLIC is defined as “The process of constructive metabolism” or of building complex substances out of simple substances.
The way your body processes protien, carbohydrates, and fat (all simple substances) and makes muscle (a complex substance) is ANABOLISM.

ANDROGENIC is basically defined as pertaining to male sex characteristics.

ANDROGENIC/ANABOLIC

“Steroids” are actually called “Anabolic Androgenic Steroids.” They accomplish “anabolism” through “anabolic” pathways, some being more androgenic (testosterone esters) and some less (winstrol, anavar, primobolan, ect…).

The best way to define The Right Steroid To Use

Right Steroid To Use A lot of people wonder which steroid to use to get huge and fast. First of all before start to use them you need to study your body structure so that to determine which kind of drugs will best work for you. To build muscle and to get to the ideal bodyweight you should plan out and implement a cycle and only after that you will achieve your goals. It is very important that steroids that you chose not to be fake one. However, the choice of steroids might not work even if they are quality one purely because the goals set before the initial steroid cycle was just set. Good goals set before the steroid cycle are a prerequisite for any effective steroid use
