Clomiphene citrate is as good as HRT – and a lot cheaper »
Clomiphene citrate is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) marketed under the brand name Clomid. Originally designed as a female fertility drug, Clomid is regularly used by bodybuilders upon cessation of a steroid cycle as part of their post cycle therapy (PCT). This is done because Clomid inhibits the effect of estrogen in the pituitary [...]
Something new for arriving early »
Who doesn’t hate arriving at a party too early? And by “at a” I mean “in a”, and by “party” I mean “woman”, and by “arriving” I mean “ejaculating”. No matter how much of a stallion you are, there’s always going to be a time where your concentration is lacking, or the girl is just [...]
Topical cream targets androgen related acne »
Acne affects 85% of teenagers, over 42% of men, and just over half of all women between the ages of 20 and 30 years. Much of it is thought to be from the 5a-reduction of testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone, contributing to sebum production. This has lead to steroid users experimenting with topical anti-androgens such as Ketoconazole [...]
What’s with all the hCG? »
In the last year we have seen two significant positive tests in professional athletics for hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin). Although most people assume that the players were coming off a steroid cycle and had used hCG as way to jump start their own testosterone production. Not a bad assumption – but if you were to [...]
Lack of sleep negatively impacts glucose metabolism »
I’m pretty sure you’re well aware of the importance of a good nights sleep with regards to in-gym performance and post-gym recovery, but it also plays a huge role in body composition. In fact, some brand new research from the Leiden University Medical Center in Holland has suggested that just one night of bad sleep [...]
TMZ takes a shot at Jay Cutler »
TMZ, echoing common sentiment among the non-steroid using populace, decided to take a shot at Jay Cutler, Mr. Olympia, calling him a “former human” and poking fun at the fact that he “willingly did this” to his body. But this is nothing new to Mr. Cutler, who prior to winning the Mr. Olympia title, admitted [...]
Fighting to get the girl – evloution blamed (not testosterone for once!) »
(From The Economist) WHEN two drunken men fight over a woman, alcohol and stupidity may not be the only things at work. Sadly, evolution may have shaped men to behave this way. Almost all of the traits considered to be masculine—big muscles, facial hair, square jaws, deep voices and a propensity to violence—evolved, it now [...]
Vitamin C prevents testosterone induced prostate hypertrophy »
A 2009 study performed in rodents gives steroid users good evidence to include supplemental vitamin C in their diets. The study demonstrated the ability of vitamin C to prevent prostate growth caused by testosterone treatment. In practical terms, this could mean that testosterone using males have a better chance of not suffering prostate enlargement if [...]
Ben Roethlisberger, head trauma and behavior »
It’s somewhat ironic that I have written a previous article about concussions in sports, where I made reference to the NFL, and in particular, specific reference to the man featured in the topic of this article – Ben Roethlisberger. The irony lies in the fact that I made reference to him opting to sit out [...]
Cinnamaldehyde (cinnamon) lowers testosterone in vitro »
Although the research is far from conclusive, a recently published study has demonstrated that cinnamaldehyde, is the organic compound that gives cinnamon its distinctive flavor and odor, stimulates the release of progesterone decreases the concentration of both Testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in human adrenal cells.
