In the June 2, 1999 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, an article1 by Dr Douglas S. King and colleagues was published reporting the results of a clinical investigation of the effects of androstenedione (AD), a widely-used sports supplement introduced by Patrick Arnold of LPJ Research. The popular media immediately reported the […]

Prohormones of Anabolic Steroids
The modern hormone supplement market, as distinct from the older market for glandular products which were largely ineffective, may be considered to have started in 1996 when DHEA was introduced. This compound is both a prohormone of testosterone and estrogen, and is a hormone in its own right. However, it is rather useless for helping […]

Pharmacological Differences Between Anabolic Steroids
One rather key issue to usage of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) is how one chooses which to use, or which combination to use, and indeed, why combinations might be superior to comparable amounts of single steroids. The issue of combining AAS for most efficient muscle gain is one that has been entirely neglected in the medical […]

Comparison of Different Anabolic Steroids
Much confusion exists as to which anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) should be used to achieve given goals, how they should be combined and why, and their relative advantages and disadvantages. While many individual points discussed here have been discussed in previous columns, this is the first time I have brought this information together into a single […]
Winstrol (Stanozolol)
Winstrol (stanozolol) is a potent anabolic, but also binds to the progesterone receptor and to LAGS in the liver. In muscle tissue, Winstrol has been found to stimulate immediate-early gene expression by a means independent of the androgen receptor. Stanozolol can stimulate the production of prostaglandin E2 and the matrix metalloproteases collegenase and stromelysin in […]
The 2-On, 4-Off Steroid Cycle: A Case Study – Week 6 of Jim’s Experiment
Week 6 of Jim’s cycle has ended, but although he is very eager to start another cycle and experience some more gains, he needs to take a week or two off. In an effort to cut up, he foolishly played basketball for a couple of hours per day every day for some time during his […]
