Anti-estrogens also can reduce bloating associated with anabolic/androgenic steroid use, and may avoid health […]

While it has been claimed that Clomid “stimulates” production of luteinizing hormone (LH) and therefore of testosterone, in […]
An Integrated Steroid, Training, and Nutrition Program
There has been considerable interest from readers in the brief alternating cycle concept that I have previously discussed. Here, I give an example of an actual program that has been used successfully. The athlete who followed this particular program has completed four such six-week cycles (only two of each six weeks featured substantial steroid use), […]
