The Half Lives of the Most Popular Anabolic Steroids and Bodybuilding Drugs
Q: “I would like to know the real half lives of the most popular anabolic steroids, T3, clenbuterol, and anti-estrogens.

A Re-Evaluation of the Effects of Anabolic Steroids on Tendons
Q: “I’ve read that testosterone usage impairs tendon growth, Deca Durabolin and Equipoise promote it, and Winstrol makes tendons brittle. I really don’t know what to do as rat studies may not tell the whole stories. I love testosterone and am no fan of Deca or Equipoise, and am pretty fond of Winstrol as well. […]
Time Off Between Steroid Cycles for Men on Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Q: “I’ve just read the article on time between cycles. In your analysis, a main goal was recovery of natural testosterone production. But what about guys on TRT who aren’t looking for recovery? Is lipid normalization or RBC count the standard then? Obviously we need some time off but what are the milestones?” A: For […]
Powerlifting – An Eight-Week Steroid Stack of Testosterone Enanthate and Dianabol
Q: “I’m a powerlifter planning my first cycle, aiming for both size and strength increases. If doing a cycle of testosterone enanthate at 500 mg/week, a Dianabol kickstart at 25 mg/day for four weeks, HCG at 250 IU 3x/week, and Aromasin as an anti-estrogen what would be the best idea for recovery? I’m thinking of […]
Safer and More Responsible Steroid Use for Bodybuilders as They Get Older
Q: “Over the years I’ve averaged being ‘on’ as many weeks per year as I am ‘off,” and during steroid cycles have usually used about 1000 mg/week. I’m now approaching 55 and am starting to think that it would be hard on the body to maintain forever the kind of bodyweight I have now, and […]
Recommendations for an Experienced Trainer Returning to Steroid Use After a Long Break
Q: “I’m age 50 and have about 20 years training behind me as well as many anabolic steroid cycles. I took several years off from the gym recently and want to get back to it. I’m down about 35 lb of muscle and up about 25 lb in fat, and I’m down to beginner strength. […]
Thyroid Hormones for Fat Loss in Women
Q: “I’m a 40 year old woman who has always been extremely active, starting with competitive swimming as a child. I always eat according to what comes naturally, never counting calories or depriving myself, eating especially big after training as I then really have a lot of appetite. I’ve never had any problem with bodyfat […]

Q: “I’d like to do 2-on, 4-off cycles and add serious strength while improving body composition. My goal is to gain 25 lb of muscle and drop 25 lb of fat over the next 6 months or so. I’m new to anabolic steroid use. I have 5 years of strength training gains have been slow […]
How Much Mass Gains Can Be Expected in a Steroid Cycle?
Q: “How much mass gains can be expected in a steroid cycle? Obviously later cycles won’t yield as much as the first cycle, but overall how does it work?” A: In a first cycle, retained muscle gains can be as high as 10 lb for the first two weeks of use, or 20 lb or […]
What is the Earliest Age to Begin Using Anabolic Steroids?
Q: “Usually, recommendations are to not use anabolic steroids until after many years of natural training, and not until at least age 21. But for everything there are exceptions. When might a person reasonably start steroid use earlier?” A: When a lifter gains many years of natural experience before starting anabolic steroid use, then he […]
What to Do When an Illness Interrupts a Steroid Cycle
Q: “What should I do if I get sick during a cycle and can’t train properly or my body obviously just doesn’t have the energy to gain? If I decide to cut the cycle short, should I continue to at least use something, maybe a lower dose, to avoid losing my gains? I don’t have […]
How to Manage SHBG During an Anabolic Steroid Cycle
Q: “Why might I want to keep SHBG levels as normal as reasonably possible, and how would I do that in steroid cycles?” A: Contrary to common opinion that SHBG is the enemy of the weight trainer, allegedly working only to reduce free T, normal SHBG levels serve useful purposes. Between cycles, one reason for […]
Significance of SHBG for the Anabolic Steroid User
Q: “Some say if I could only let loose my testosterone that’s bound to SHBG, it would be like producing a lot more testosterone, or would give me more from what I injected. One article says SHBG ‘essentially deactivates’ testosterone. Are these things true? If not, why not.” A: SHBG is widely misunderstood. These things […]
SERMs vs. Anti-Aromatase During an Anabolic Steroid Cycle
Q: “Over many years I’ve used a number of steroid cycle plans you’ve published, as well as completely different advice from others. So I have a lot of different personal results to compare. Your more recent advice seems always to use an anti-aromatase for aromatizing cycles, but your older advice always used a SERM (selective […]
