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.
World Anabolic Review Revisited
This month’s article is put together a little differently from usual: rather than holding to any one topic, I will focus on some errors published in World Anabolic Review 1996 (WAR) and offer corrected information in those areas. WAR is probably the best book available to the bodybuilder on the use of anabolic steroids, but […]

I would like to say that I am very impressed with your knowledge and feel that you have probably provided me with more useful information in reading just your articles on this site, than I have been able to […]
Cyborgs in the Gym: The Technopolitics of Female Muscle
Introduction My general argument in this paper is that, contrary to the popular view of it as merely a simpleminded pursuit for large, oddly shaped, animated pieces of meat, bodybuilding is a scientific and technological practice.

Q: Charles, I do a workout where I do nose crushers, then bench press, then power snatches, and finish with ball crunches. I fatigue quickly and haven’t been making progress. Should I up my calories, or is there a supplement you recommend for sustained energy? A: Although your diet and/or overtraining could be a factor, […]
Ask Lyle McDonald #5
Dear Lyle, I just read an article about protein cycling at http://www.testosterone.net. In it, the author (who’s an MD AND a bodybuilder, so he must know his stuff) recommends reducing protein intake to 20-40 grams per day for up to a month, saying that it’ll help me get bigger. He also said that it’s possible to […]
