On this blog I posted some articles about Dianabol en methyl-testosterone and other early oral anabolic androgenic steroids. In those days Arnold dubbed Dianabol the “breakfast of the champions” and that was true. Bodybuilders in those days educated each other and measured their dosing by handful not by milligrams.

They kept their usage a secret to the people outside their friends, even though it was not forbidden to use them in those days.

Let’s take a look at the most famous of the early bodybuilders, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Unauthorized publications mention how Arnold took a handful of Dianabol before his work-out, leading to a lot of intensity in the gym. He stacked it with Primobolan at around 600 milligrams a week. We also know that Arnold also liked Winstrol a lot and we know that Winstrol leads to a massive increase in strength, that why it is also favored by power-lifters and strongmen.

Scare mongering

If someone on a forum mentions the fact that he plans to use oral steroids, most members will post warnings and tell him that orals are very bad for the liver. It’s almost as if oral steroids are spiked with a sharp object that will hurt your liver. But is that true or is it just bro-science? Once bodybuilders and athletes found out that many pharmaceutical compounds where beneficial for their purposes, the authorities, medical community and pharmaceutical companies started to discourage usage and even official scientist denied that supra physiological doses of testosterone would cause extra muscle mass. Remember Will Brinks article  “walking the walk or talking the talk”? Still makes me laugh today!! It didn’t help. Bodybuilders and athletes are using anabolic steroids to increase the muscle mass and athletic performance. But why does everybody still believe the myth that you will ruin your liver with oral steroids and that its alkylation will destroy your liver forever?

Recently another new scientific study resulted in a lot of new articles on the world wide web. I wrote about muscle memory before (Muscle memory fact or fiction //www.napsgear.net/jm_blog_news.php?id=34 ). The way we look is due to a many different reasons. First of all being our genetic body type.

If you read the diverse articles (including mine //juicedmuscle.com/jmblog/content/whats-your-body-type ) about it you know that some body types can more easily gain muscle than others. Still everyone can become a bodybuilder.

We as members of a bodybuilding discussionboard are mostly health conscious we pay attention to our body, we train, maintain  and nourish our body. And we mostly have a bigger acceptance of muscle on the human body, both male and female, then the average population. Still the last few decades the average public accepts the muscular people more than in the days of Arnold. Bodybuilding and especially Fitness went from an obscure subculture to broadly accepted , as I wrote in previous posts on body-image cq muscle dismorphia, movies, moeviestars, music-stars esp. the HipHop  accepted bodybuilding an juicing as part of their life-style.

On almost every website devoted on physical training you can find a section on female physical beauty and lots of male members like to watch and comment T&A (tits and ass). Controversial are the pictures of female bodybuilders. For those females the question how much is too much is even more relevant than for a male bodybuilder. Also because their genitals get bigger and become more pronounced through the use of androgens. Some men like it most of them don’t.

But what do women and girls think of us? How much muscle do they like? As I wrote previously, we have a bigger muscle acceptance and are “used” to muscular people in the gym. Most of us like to work-out and grow bigger not only the get respect from our friends and others but also because we want our body to be attractive to the girls. From experience I know that a bodybuilding physique leads to ooh’s and eewk’s.

Since many members are interested in analysis of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) we post the analytical data of dehydrochlormethyltestosterone ((17β)-4-chloro-17-hydroxy-17-methylandrosta-1,4-dien-3-one) on the most discussion-boards known as Oral Turinabol – Oral T or abbrivated as OT.

You’ll find in this blog-post also the graphics from the different analytical methods of identification (GC, GC/MS, FTIR, HPLC, 1H- and 13C- NMR).

An analysis of a few bottles, each labelled  “Turanabol,” “Chlordehydromethyltestosterone,” and “Golden Triangle Pharmaceuticals” (see Photo 1). Despite identical appearances (same bottle type, labeling, lot number, and number of tablets (100)), some of the bottles contained nondescript orange capsules while other bottles contained nondescript yellow capsules (see Photo 2). Subsequent analyses confirmed that the orange capsules contained dehydrochlormethyltestosterone as the only active ingredient, while the yellow capsules contained primarily dehydrochlormethyltestosterone with minor amounts of stanozolol and methandrostenolone (see structures, below).

Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance in the United States and is also listed in the 2006 Prohibited List/World Anti-Doping Code. It gained notoriety as a result of the East German Olympic doping scandals that were fully exposed after the fall of the Berlin wall (2 ). Data from East German medical personnel involved in the doping indicated that dehydrochlormethyltestosterone produced dramatic increases in speed and strength, but with detrimental side effects such as deepening of the voice, increased acne, and body hair growth. Other, long term side-effects ranged from liver damage to severe gynaecological disorders (2). This steroid is no longer legitimately produced, and appears to be available only as an illicitly-prepared product on the black market.

This article  is mostly about masculinization. Some people think that a women that takes a certain dose of the male sex hormone testosterone slowly turns into a male.  Some even like the muscle. Hell its bodybuilding. But other feel that they are too deprived, they lost their feminine looks. On this pic you can see that the woman has lost some of her hair and that her hairline suffers from male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)

Its obvious that the use, or should we say in this case abuse, of anabolic androgenic steroids with the diuretics and the diet robbed her from breasttissue. Most female bodybuilders in that situation take breastimplants, and the american ones mostly buy BIIIG ones!!

It sometimes looks like a male wearing artificial tits, a wig and bikini. This is an opinion, my opinion. I'm very interested in your opinion. I merged a few articles from the net and changed it as you know I often do. I will post some pictures of contest-ready female bodybuilders that look great. Again my personal preference.
