At the conclusion of the twenty-seventh Olympiad still another set of athletes was found guilty of using steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs and were sent home in disgrace.

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.
The Psychological Effects of Anabolic Steroids (Part 1)
A Brief Overview and Prefatory Comments This article briefly introduces and comments on issues relevant to an appreciation of the psychological effects of anabolic/androgenic steroids (AAS).

How to Use Deca Durabolin
Deca Durabolin (nandrolone decanoate), often referred to as “Deca”, is unique (so far as I know) in that 5a -reductase, the enzyme which converts testosterone to the more-potent DHT, actually converts nandrolone to a less-potent compound.

To put it bluntly, most women don’t want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in drag. However, observing the habits, training, and eating patterns of bodybuilders can work wonders for women and […]
Post Exercise Nutrition to Maximize the Training Effect
Introduction All too often athletes are looking for a food or diet that will increase their performance “during competition”. This is a misguided approach.

Planet Estrogen Part 3: The Menstrual Cycle and Athletic Performance
While the participation of women in sports has increased significantly over the last several decades, research of women in sports has lagged behind that of men. This is particularly true in matters related to reproduction and menstruation. Up until even recent years, women were cautioned not to partake in sports while pregnant or during menstruation […]
