Adrenaline

Super-human power

Most of us are familiar with the TV series “The incredible Hulk” in which the bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno played the role of the Hulk.

The process by which the scientist Bruce Banner usually transforms into the Hulk is presumably the result of the chemical catalyst, adrenaline (a.k.a. epinephrine). As in normal human beings, Banner's adrenal medulla secretes large amounts of adrenaline in time of fear, rage, or stress, which hormonally stimulates the heart rate, increases blood-sugar levels, and inhibits sensations of fatigue. Whereas the secretion heightens normal physical abilities in normal human beings, in Banner's case it triggers the complex chemical-extra-physical process that transforms him into the Hulk. The total time of transformation falls anywhere between seconds to 5 minutes, depending on the initial adrenalin surge, which will be determined by the original stimulus. Soon after the transformation, the amount of adrenalin in the Hulk will return to more normal, reduced levels. When the Hulk transforms back into Banner, the excess muscle mass and energy is lost, presumably to the same place he derives it.

Most pro-bodybuilders and other advanced AAS users such as fighters, powerlifters and athletes use (beside peptides, insulin and steroids) an enormous list of ancillaries, If they use Trenbolone something to combat prolactin/progesterone and sleeping-aids against “trensomnia,” estrogen blockers and aromatase inhibitors if they use aromatisable roids, beta blockers against anxiety, anti-depressants, statins or others to control bloodlipids, thyroid hormones and a drug to combat insulin resistance if they use a lotta rhGH, painkillers to fight the intense pain of site-injections of roids and Synthol, muscle skeletal nerve relaxants, liver protectors etc etc. I posted before about Selegiline and such, this time an old but a nowadays rising compound called Modanifil.

One of my Greek friends asked me to try to develop an improved Thiomucase gel. After I had read about some experiments someone performed on himself and I discussed this with my Greek friend, we decided to do some “in vivo” research. I mixed some different active ingredients (aminophylline and glycyrrhetinic acid).

Creatine is a molecular battery. Cells stick energy-providing phosphate groups on to creatine molecules, and pull them off again when they need them. That’s why power athletes can manage longer sets if they take creatine. The human body gets creatine from foods such as fish and meat, but also makes the substance itself from the amino acids arginine and glycine. When producing creatine, the body also uses methyl groups from the S-adenosylmethionine molecule, which as a result change into homocysteine. Seventy percent of the homocysteine in your body is produced as a result of your body manufacturing creatine. A single 5g dose corresponds to the creatine content of 1.1 kg of fresh, uncooked steak.

Chilli peppers contain substances such as capsaicin (the compound which gives peppers their hot sharp taste), dihydrocapsaicin and nordihydro-capsaicin. These are responsible for the burning sensation in your mouth when you eat chilli pepper. This happens because the substances attach themselves to the TRPV1 receptor. And because they interact with this receptor, pepper extracts also increase the body's fat burning. They do this so effectively that a number of reviews have already pointed to these components as promising ingredients for anti-obesity supplements and functional foods. And they also have some added health advantages.
