If you are here, chances are that you have an interest in building or enhancing your physique. Therefore, there is a chance that you have heard of Testosterone, specifically Testosterone Cypionate (Test C, or Test Cyp). So what is Testosterone Cypionate? Test Cypionate is the most common anabolic hormone out there. It is an injectable steroid, and a prescription medication that treats hypogonadism (low testosterone production). Test Cypionate is one of the best mass building anabolic known to man and is highly recommended as the basis of nearly any mass building cycle.
When you are on a cycle and taking synthetic testosterone and other androgens, your body shuts off its ability to produce testosterone naturally. That is where hCG comes in. hCG, Human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone that is produced in the female body during pregnancy. Accidentally, in the male body, hCG can treat hypogonadism, by stimulating the body to start producing natural testosterone again. 

Spend time at the gym and talking to other gym rats long enough, and you’re bound to hear about Clen. Clen, which is short for Clenbuterol, is a popular drug made to treat asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but is commonly used in the bodybuilding world as a powerful fat burner. 

Testosterone Propionate, often called Test P or Test Prop, is an anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) which is often used for muscle mass building, often used in bulking cycles. Originally Test Prop was intended for treatment of androgen deficiency from hypogonadism or andropause. Nowadays it is used intramuscularly in heifer cows who are candidates for masculinization, particularly to increase sexual aggressiveness. In humans, it is often used by bodybuilders to increase muscle mass. 

Anavar (Oxandrolone) and Winstrol (Stanozolol) are oral steroids, and of which Winstrol can also be found in injectable form. Bodybuilders often have a hard time choosing between the two because they are so similar. To help you make the best choice for yourself, we will review the differences and key features of each. 

Last week we talk about the importance of deloading – taking a break from lifting or reducing weight/reps for a week or two to allow your body to recover from overtraining. Lifting to the max number of reps each set sounds good on paper. Many will tell you that it’s the only way to make progress – they are wrong. 
 
Lifting to your max number of reps all the time does indeed produce results; however, it also over taxes your system and can hinder progress. Your muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, even your CNS take a beating from lifting alone. To demand 100% from your body all the time is asking for disaster – well the need for a deload. It can also put you in situations where you injure yourself. If you had 2-3 reps left in the tank, do you think you would have gotten trapped under that bar? – probably not. 

Testosterone Cypionate is more prone to supersaturation when compared with Testosterone Enanthate.  This makes it more susceptible to crystallization under certain preventable circumstances, explained in more detail later.

Manufacturers of cypionate globally provide the universal advice to inspect your testosterone medication for crystal particulate matter before administering.  If crystals are present, they recommend warming the solution and shaking to dissolve.  Investigation reports have reassuringly confirmed that this process doesn’t negatively affect the testosterone in any way.

One thing is clear – without the proper guidance, the right rep range is UNCLEAR. When most start lifting, chances are good they are not following a program. If you are, you might have all your ducks in a row, making progress, as your bros just keep repping and repping over and over. 
 
Blood Flow Restriction, often referred to as “BFR”, has become increasingly popular over the last few years as a different way to train for hypertrophy. Its efficacy, under this application, has been a topic under debate for decades. Few have heard of it and fewer have tried it. 
 

Proviron New Insights

A new blogpost about an old steroid, why? I was researching compounds that influence the libido, directly or with conjunction with other compounds. Than one of my clients told me he also used Proviron with Sustanon as HRT, especially because positively influenced his sex-life and worked well with the Sustanon. Discussing it with another friend that runs a gym and prepares men and woman for contests, he also told me he liked mesteronole (Proviron) very much and used it for diverse reasons but especially in contest preparation.
