Nolvadex is the trade name of a drug containing a molecule called Tamoxifen. Its primary use by male bodybuilders is to prevent gynecomastia (the growth of the breast tissue). It was introduced by steroid guru Dan Duchaine 25 years ago. After a quarter of century, it is time for an update about its use. What [...]
About Michalovich Dharkam
The true identity of the infamous Michalovich Dharkam Greutstein cannot be revealed. The obscurity relating to "Dharkam", is due to certain European laws governing writing about drugs and medicines. Freedom of speech is by no means universal. When a scientist sees an interesting topic relating to his area of expertise, but cannot publish on it due to this sort of repression, sometimes he publishes under a pseudonym. In fact, publishing tracts under a pseudonym is a centuries-old tradition in Europe, and was prevalent in the U.S. until the Revolution secured this freedom for U.S. citizens.
"Dharkam. That’s not his real name, but he’s a really smart guy. He’s one of the two or three people that I really trust. Now, he is probably the only one, outside of myself, that gets really creative with the research. It seems that everybody else is timid with the research, and you have to have a little bit of recklessness to be able to push the state-of-the-art of bodybuilding forward... "
"If Dharkam says it works, it probably does work. I know there is no research on it, but he’s probably right. I have known this man for at least three or four years. He’s always been thought provoking, and many times, when people disrespect him and say he’s full of shit, he always pulls a reference to validate whatever he said. " -- Dan Duchaine, January 2000
GHB: Its Usefulness for Bodybuilders
September 10, 2001 By
GHB is one of the most popular yet clandestine substances used by bodybuilders. In fact, ask any high level competitor willing to divulge his favorite stack, he will probably omit GHB — not that he is lying, but rather he is overlooking it. GHB is a given, especially as a dieting aid. No need to [...]

Deeper Into Prostaglandin Use
September 10, 2001 By
Many readers enjoyed my previous article about prostaglandins as muscle builders. This short introduction to prostaglandins produced critics, controversies and queries. Prostaglandins, especially PGF2 are no wonder drugs. They will not make you a Mr. Olympia in a matter of days. They do not represent a substitute for training. Neither are they free of side-effects. [...]
Long-Term Effects of (Natural) Bodybuilding on Testosterone Levels
September 10, 2001 By
Is bodybuilding good for your testosterone? In bodybuilding, we are told that our workouts should not last more than 45 minutes! Why? Because past this 45 minute limit, our testosterone production is supposed to fall. No one seems to criticize this statement which is, in fact, a very stupid one. I have weight-trained for 25 [...]
Letrozole: Designing a Smart First Cycle Without the Use of Anabolic Steroids
September 10, 2001 By
The first steroid cycle you will do is usually the most effective in terms of muscle mass gains. Your muscles are full of testosterone receptors. They are therefore very sensitive to extra male hormones. Your second cycle will be a bit less effective. And it gets worst and worst. In order to counteract this diminishing [...]

Steroids: Are You at Risk? Androgen Receptor Polymorphisms: CAG Repeat It is a fact that each bodybuilder reacts differently to anabolic steroids.

NASA Discovers the Anabolic Properties of Prostaglandins
September 10, 2001 By
In the January 1999 issue of the American Journal of Physiology, a new study performed on astronauts during spaceflight demonstrates the key role played by prostaglandins in maintaining the strength of muscles. A major problem during spaceflight is the rapid loss of lean muscle mass in both animals and humans. This prevents the space agencies [...]
Manipulating Dietary Cholesterol for Optimum Muscle Growth
September 10, 2001 By
Vince Gironda, the Iron Guru, used to recommend eating up to three dozen eggs a day in order to pack on mass fast. His rational was that the high cholesterol content would trigger a natural anabolic effect. Ronnie Coleman, in his last video, Relentless, is taking a cholesterol lowering drug. Yet, such drugs are said [...]
