Metribolone-Methyltrienolone-R1881

On the left you see a picture of ampoulle made by Newgenpharm, Korea. Its an obvious fake, seen the doses.

Metribolone is an extremely powerfull steroid, some experts even call it monstreous. It is hard ro buy the real products and API's. Mostly because its not only extremely potent, but also extremely expensive. Underground manufacturers that don't have direct contact with an manufacturer of these powders and don't have the ability to analyse them will end up with a substitution or a very underdosed product. We all seen that during our analyses and everyone elso know this from the market in recreational drugs. Most recreational drugs (cocaine or speed by example) are cut heavily, because everyone involved wants to make a profit. Believe me there is no difference in Anabolic market.

Underground Labs (UG) now sell this product as designer steroid and also a mixed product (Hard Core Labs MT-DMN) more info at the end of the article.

You see in increasing amount of both orals (sold as Oral Tren or Oral Parabolan) aswel as injectables. Scientific research showed that subQ injected "oral steroids"  where a minimum tenfold more potent then the oral version.

On the rigt you see a picture with UG Labs selling more realistic dosed products. Geneza Pharma with 250mcg/tab. Genpharm with 10 mg/ml and DutchLabs with 2 mg/ml

In the area of pro-hormones there was a methyldienolone product on the supplement market. That of course disapeared with all other pro-hormones.

 Methyltrienolone is essentially the same compound as trenbolone that has gone under 17 alpha alkylation so that it can remain active after oral administration. So in a basic sense, methyltrienolone offers all of the advantages of trenbolone with the added bonus of being orally active. However, that extra benefit comes with a hefty price when it comes to hepatoxicity as will be demonstrated below.

Full Body Compound Work-out

Numerous studies have indicated that weight training exercises that recruit large muscle masses (i.e. the compound exercises) result in the largest anabolic hormonal response by the body. The proportions of anabolic hormones (mainly growth hormone and testosterone) secreted are thought to be functions of factors such as total muscle mass recuited, exercise intensity, rep count and rest between sets - with lower rep sets and longer breaks between them favoring testosterone release and higher rep sets and shorter breaks between them favoring growth hormone (hGH). The more total muscle mass involved, the higher the hormone levels rise. For this reason, Squats will cause a greater hormonal response than Bench Presses.

These are exercises that involve more than one major muscle and involve the movement of move than one joint. Examples would be Squats, Bent-Over Rows, Bench Presses, Military Presses, and so on. The collective experience of generations of weight trainers teaches that these are the most effective movements for producing gains in strength and muscle size.

These are exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, chins, dips and rows. They cause a release of a lot more anabolic hormones than isolation exercises like concentration curls, cable crossovers, leg extensions, etc. Consequently, they cause a lot more muscular growth.

Compound exercises are recommended on and off cycles. They are strength building exercises. when off the anabolic steroids they can increase your output of testosterone and growth hormones naturally. That’s why Old School Bodybuilders used this trainings regimen.

The  dead lift for example hits just about every muscle in your body. So it strengthens all the muscles it hits. The importance of it while on a cycle is because the steroids will increase the strength of a muscle. While on the anabolic steroids the strength increases so fast tendons and ligaments find it hard to catch up because there are virtually no blood vessels in them. To do a compound exercise it hits also the stabilizing muscles around the major muscles and it turn helps take stress off the tendons and ligaments. It practacly strengthen the exercised muscles and all surrounding muscles used to stabilise the body when by example standing up when dead-lifting.

MGF (Mechano Growth Factor).

Just after the second world war a hopeful world produced a large new generation. Most of them did well. They have worked their whole life and are willing to pay for pharmaceutical aids that will prolong and ease their “golden years”. They want to grow old, but they want to grow old gracefully, maintaining their youthful skills. They don’t want to spent their last years in a wheelchair or in a nursing bed with a bedpan. They want to remain mobile and have a healthy sexlife. The success of Phizers Viagra proves that. 

Authorities all over the world are facing huge healthcare costs due to an aging babyboom. The steady loss of bone mass (osteoporosis) and of lean muscle mass (sarcopenia) that accompanies aging puts an increasing strain on our health care systems. It afflicts millions of aging people all over the world. Age-related loss of muscle mass, strength and frailty caused by declining levels of  essential hormones in the body such as sex hormones and growth hormone stops them from carrying out everyday tasks and increases the riskof falling and breaking bones that are brittle because of osteoporosis. This is not only a major socio-economic as well as a major medical and financial problem, it is also important to improve the overall well-being of all these elderly. All this led to increased funds and need for scientific research towards prevention of age related diseases.  We already knew that the  exogenous administration of rhGH and sex-hormones such as Testosterone (HRT) could improve overall well-being in elderly.

Get A Big Pump If You Want Big Gains

The importance of "the pump" dawned on bodybuilders a long time ago. So much so that the word "pump" itself has been associated with bodybuilding for many years now

Discover how you can use its anabolic effects to build the physique you've always wanted! You can easily incorporate this proven bodybuilding technique into your workouts today to trigger gargantuan gains in muscle size. //www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUBcoBmnIjQ

Nitric oxide (NO) has a vasodilating effect on muscle tissue that is very similar to what occurs in the genital region when one takes Viagra or Cialis.

"Vasodilating" means that the body responds to nitric oxide by opening the veins, arteries and capillaries like little flood gates. This vasodilation over-fills the muscle with nutrient dense blood to produce a huge pump... much bigger than could normally be achieved without NO. We explained this in the previous article on Viagar – Cialis and Levitra

How important is the pump for muscle growth? Let's look at an example:  Many Olympic weightlifters and powerlifters train for increases in muscular strength and power... but don't have the muscle mass of most bodybuilders. Why is that?  It's simple. Their style of training does not produce a pump like the training a bodybuilder does. They get stronger... but not a lot bigger.  That's why bodybuilders have known for years that consistently getting a good pump in the gym is crucial for muscle growth.  Those who do not get a pump from their training are unable to attain their full size potential.

 

The average person thinks of the damage of aging as an inevitable process of wear and tear.   However, if wear and tear were the primary cause of aging in humans, a 60 year-old should have only twice the signs of aging as a 30 year-old.

Why do most 30-year-olds show few effects of aging, while the effects of aging are so obvious in a 60 year-old person?   If wear and tear were the major cause of aging, a 90-year-old person would only have 3 times as much aging damage as a 30-year-old.

At the age of 30, people have spent most of their lives with fairly high levels of human growth hormone (HGH).   HGH is responsible for growth during childhood -- and for the repair and regeneration of human tissue throughout our lives.   By the time we reach the age of 30, our HGH levels are only about 20 percent of their peak levels during childhood, and after the age of 30, they continue to decline at about 12 to 15 percent per decade, and often much more.   By the time most of us are 30 years old, our bodies no longer produce enough HGH to repair all of the damage that is occurring in our bodies.   As our HGH levels continue to decline, the damage that we call aging continues to accelerate.

The decline in HGH is not the only cause of the manifestations of aging.   Even if our HGH levels remained at the level of a 25 year-old, we would continue to experience the effects of aging, but those effects would be greatly reduced until we reached a very advanced age.   HGH does not affect the root cause of aging, as measured by maximum lifespan, but it can certainly affect many of the manifestations of aging.

By increasing the levels of HGH in our bodies, we can slow, or even reverse, many of the manifestations of aging.   It must be done carefully, though, and under medical supervision.   Ideally, this HGH replacement should begin at about the age of 30 years, but HGH replacement can be beneficial at any age above 30.   In fact, for older people, HGH therapy can reverse the manifestations of aging by 5 to 15 years or more.   There is no other single therapy currently available that can have the impact on the aging body that HGH can have.

He put smiles on millions  of faces when he helped invent Viagra. Now the brains behind the little blue pills claims to have done it again.

Mike Wyllie, one of the team of scientists who developed Viagra in the 1990s, has created a drug that tackles premature ejaculation.

He predicts the spray-on medication, designed to prolong the joy of sex for millions of sufferers and their partners, is likely to become ‘the next blockbuster’ drug.

Premature ejaculation affects more than one in four men – making it more common than the impotence tackled by Viagra. Most are too embarrassed to seek help and when they do, treatments are generally limited to powerful anti-depressants and counselling.

There is one pill specifically designed to treat the problem but it is expensive and not widely available in the UK. In contrast, it is hoped the spray, called Tempe, which could be on sale within months, will be cheap enough for prescription on the NHS.

In trials, some men using the spray ahead of sex lasted up to eight times longer. But the drug is generally thought to treble a man’s ‘staying power’.

A story on a very very controversial bodybuilder, Steve Michalik, a pro bodybuilder in the 70s, on the net you'll find many stories about him. He trained and lived like a maniac and used all kinds of steroids and recreational drugs. Firstly I want to post a story from 1990 written by Paul Solotaroff for the "The Village Voice". I posted it on BodyPage directly and got many reactions. His many friends and inside bodybuilders found it exagerrated and have mixed opinions. Later I'll post more on this exiting bodybuilder.

On May 24 Steve Michalik was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. May he rest in piece.

“The Power and the Glory”

Half the world was in mortal terror of him. He had a sixty inch chest, twenty three inch arms, and when the Anadrol and Bolasterone backed up in his bloodstream, his eyes went as red as the laser scope on an Uzi. He threw people through windows, and chased them madly down Hempstead Turnpike when they had the temerity to cut him off. And in the gym he owned in Farmingdale, the notorious Mr America’s, if he caught you looking at him while he trained, you generally woke up bleeding on the pavement outside. Half out of his mind on androgens and horse steroids; he had this idea that being looked at robbed him of energy, energy that he needed to leg press two thousand pounds.

Nonetheless one day a kid walked up to him between sets and said “I want to be just like you Steve Michalik. I want to be Mr America and Mr Universe.”

“Yeah?” said Michalik in thick contempt. “How bad do you think you want it?”

“Worse than anything in the world,” said the kid, a scrawny seventeen year old with more balls than biceps. “I can honestly say that I would die for a body like yours.”

Arnold talking openly about sex and drugs to Playboy magazine

Body building has come a long way since the day an immortal bully kicked sand into the face of Charles Atlas. Consider Arnold Schwarzenegger. At 6'2" and 240 pounds, he boasts a 57-inch chest, a 31-inch waist and 22-inch biceps. For six years running, he was voted Mr. Olympia, the supreme title in Professional body building. Now, at the age of 29, Schwarzenegger wants to become a movie star—a superstar, to be precise. He has already appeared in two movies: "Stay Hungry," an underrated Bob Rafelson film that starred Sally Field, and "Pumping Iron," a semidocumentary about the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest, which was Schwarzenegger's final championship. He made the film to dispel the talk of homosexuality, steroids and obsessive narcissism that comes up whenever body building is mentioned. Most critics liked the movie, some didn't, but on one point all the critics agree: Bodybuilders may come and go, but there is only one Arnold.

     As a kid in Graz, Austria, Schwarzenegger played soccer, ran and wrestled. He always seemed to have more energy than his friends, and at the age of 15 he had a vision—as others might see Christ—of himself standing on a stage, winning the world body-building championship. Against the advice of parents and peers, young Arnold devoted his life to that goal, training an unprecedented six hours a day. At the age of 19, he moved to Munich and won the European body-building championship. He turned pro in 1969 and was runner-up for the title of Mr. Olympia. The next year he won and was never thereafter seriously challenged.

I'll post here an old article (2009) from "The New York Times"

After this article adding the studies mentioned. Don't know about you, but I find it damned interesting.

Many competitive bodybuilders take anabolic steroids to achieve their freakishly exaggerated physiques. That is no secret. But steroids can be only one part of an extreme regimen that can wreak havoc on the body.
Human growth hormone, supplements, painkillers and diuretics can also be used to create the “shrink-wrapped” muscles so prized in the aesthetic. And the high concentration of muscle mass puts stress on the body, as if the lifter were obese.

Lifting weights in the gym is “extremely healthy for you,” said Kenneth Wheeler, a former elite bodybuilder known as Flex. “But if you want to be a bodybuilder and compete at the highest level, it has nothing to do with health.” A relatively rare form of kidney disease forced Wheeler to retire in 2003 at age 37, and he needed a kidney transplant later that year.
 

I want to catagorise some known and unknown influencing factors on the half-life and potency of injected steroids.

Many factors determen the effect of a active componenet solved in an oily depot. That is the oily carrier itself, the preservative that is used to protect the oily injectable against bacteria and fungus. Then sometimes a solvent and a co-solvent is used, these solvents are also responsible for the viscosity and syringability. Meaning? The viscosity (thickness) of the oily injectable comes from the oily carrier, the solvent mostly benzyl benzoate and some co-solvents such as Ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, gauiacol and co-solvents such as Ethyl Oleate.
