It is upon us, New Year’s Eve; one of the largest consumption dates of alcohol around the world! Many will endeavor upon the New Year’s cyclone with a hard party attitude and enough alcohol to obliterate a large bull-elephant. If you’re serious about your fitness and muscular pursuits it’s very doubtful alcohol makes up a [...]
Readers may ask why this is important information at first glance but of all things to discuss here this may indeed be one of the most important yet. In the beginning it looked as if it would be defeated but I’m sorry to say the nightmare is real. The Food Safety Modernization Act S.510 has [...]
Justin Garcia of of Binghamton University, State University of New York, has linked the dopamine receptor gene DRD4 to non-committal sex (one-night stands, etc…) and acts of infidelity. And because genes are passed down from parents to children, it’s highly likely that if you’re a total skank, your mother was too. DRD4 is also linked to many [...]
Amazing as it may sound, a recent study published in the British Journal of Psychology, reported that women find men who drive Rolls Royce Bentleys more attractive than men who drive Ford Fiestas.

There are few herbs that actually boost testosterone, fewer that really lower estrogen, but none that do both exceptionally well – except Bulbine Natalensis. The rodent data suggests a testosterone boost of 347% compared to baseline, while lowering estrogen by 35%. And all of this is achieved at a dose of 50mgs/kg (rat dose), which [...]
Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in Trestolone Acetate (a/k/a 7 alpha-Methyl-19-nortestosterone, or MENT), due to it’s sudden availability thanks to the efforts of several black market hormone suppliers. Until recently, we’d mostly heard about this steroid through Bodybuilding.com’s now defunct steroid profiles written by Pete Von Mol. And actually, this is rightly [...]
Ever since my first article and blog post about Bulbine Natalensis, the supply chain has been evolving in various ways, both expected and unexpected – and both good and bad. We haven’t seen any Bulbine-based products released on the market since my original article, and that’s a very good thing. Why? Because the amount of [...]

It can be found as far west as Liberia and as far north as Guinea, while it reaches its southeast limit in Tanzania. It is widely grown in these areas, [...]
Ever taken prolonged time off training, or been injured and laid-up for a while? Strength tends to drop quite rapidly, but you’ll notice that eventually, continued inactivity leads to muscle loss.
