After a cycle, we have one goal: to hold onto the gains we made during the cycle. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done, because the levels of various hormones and other substances that were circulating around your body during the cycle (huge amounts of testosterone, insulin-like growth factor, growth hormone, and lower amounts of […]
Anabolic Steroid Articles
Our steroid articles provided detailed, practical information on how anabolic steroids are used to build muscle size, strength and otherwise improve physical performance. They cover topics such as the history of steroids, steroids in baseball, the medical uses of steroids including testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), the side effects of steroids and how to manage steroid side effects.
Rationale for the Use of Aromasin with Tamoxifen During Post Cycle Therapy
Aromasin (Exemestane) is one of those weird compounds that nobody really knows what to do with. What we generally hear about it makes it very uninteresting…It’s a third generation Aromatase Inhibitor (AI) just like Arimidex (Anastrozole) and Femera (Letrozole). Both of those two drugs are very efficient at stopping the conversion of androgens into estrogen, […]
A Philosophical Defense of Anabolic Steroid Use – More Steroids, Please!
I – PREFACE This essay is frankly and entirely one-sided. I have no interest in remarks like “On the one hand this may be true but on the other hand that may be true and then again, who knows, maybe everybody is right.” I don’t like this wishy-washy approach. Better to be flat out wrong […]
The Anabolic Steroid Control Act – The Wrong Prescription
According to the body of common knowledge, anabolic steroids are dangerous and deadly drugs. The mainstream media have thoroughly vilified these hormones for several decades. The use by mature adults of any amount of anabolic hormones to enhance physical appearance is invariably labeled anabolic steroid “abuse” and, consequently, the average American lumps the athletic steroid […]
Deca, Winstrol and Your Joints
Separating Fiction from Fact I’ve been somewhat plagued by certain questions ever since I started reading about steroids a decade ago. Certain ideas just never sat well with me…and unfortunately, when I asked more questions, I only received similar answers. When I was introduced to the world of internet steroid boards about half a decade […]
DHT: Is It All Bad?
A considerable chunk of my work day is always spent answering people’s questions about prohormones and steroids. Of course, one of the biggest concerns people have is about estrogen and estrogen related side effects. Right behind that however are questions about DHT. It seems that people have the misconception that DHT is some evil androgen […]
Testosterone for Women: Waiting for the Female Aphrodisiac
In December 2004 a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Advisory Committee for Reproductive Health Drugs refused to recommend Procter & Gamble’s Intrinsa testosterone patch for female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in surgically menopausal women whose ovaries had been removed. The FDA panel found that administering testosterone to these patients would produce an average of one […]
Cognitive and Competitive Aspects of Testosterone
Evidence in animals (1) and Alzheimer’s patients (2) suggests that androgens possess cognitive enhancing properties. However, very few studies have investigated the role of testosterone on cognition in healthy individuals. The difficulty in assessing these effects is probably rooted in the idea that testosterone is a “social hormone,” influencing behavior only when status is challenged […]
Anabolic Steroids and Suicide – A Brief Review of the Evidence
Discussions of the potential role of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) in suicide surfaced recently when AAS and their use among professional athletes were blamed for several suicides of young adult males. These allegations inspired a congressional investigation and renewed anti-steroid rhetoric, but little dispassionate evaluation. The testimony of experts and grieving parents notwithstanding, the role of […]
