Nolvadex is the trade name of a drug containing a molecule called Tamoxifen. Its primary use by male bodybuilders is to prevent gynecomastia (the growth of the breast tissue). It was introduced by steroid guru Dan Duchaine 25 years ago. After a quarter of century, it is time for an update about its use. What […]
GHB: Its Usefulness for Bodybuilders
GHB is one of the most popular yet clandestine substances used by bodybuilders. In fact, ask any high level competitor willing to divulge his favorite stack, he will probably omit GHB — not that he is lying, but rather he is overlooking it. GHB is a given, especially as a dieting aid. No need to […]
Dharkam’s Way – The ‘How-To” of PGF2

Deeper Into Prostaglandin Use
Many readers enjoyed my previous article about prostaglandins as muscle builders. This short introduction to prostaglandins produced critics, controversies and queries.

Letrozole: Designing a Smart First Cycle Without the Use of Anabolic Steroids
The first steroid cycle you will do is usually the most effective in terms of muscle mass gains. Your muscles are full of testosterone receptors.

Is bodybuilding good for your testosterone? In bodybuilding, we are told that our workouts should not last more than 45 minutes! Why? Because past this 45 minute limit, our testosterone production is supposed to fall. No one seems to criticize this statement which is, in fact, a very stupid one. I have weight-trained for 25 […]
Will You Experience Side Effects from Anabolic Steroids?
Steroids: Are You at Risk? Androgen Receptor Polymorphisms: CAG Repeat It is a fact that each bodybuilder reacts differently to anabolic steroids.
