The Half Lives of the Most Popular Anabolic Steroids and Bodybuilding Drugs

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.

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?

Powerlifting – An Eight-Week Steroid Stack of Testosterone Enanthate and Dianabol

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?

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 […]

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.

How Much Mass Gains Can Be Expected in a Steroid Cycle?

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.
