"Fat, sinew, bloody effluvia, and bits of meat." Oh, and ammonia"

Since beef is an important ingredient for most bodybuilding diets and even a lotta fastfood is consumed on the "Junk Day". we want to inform you about the quality like we did before: //juicedmuscle.com/jmblog/content/happy-fastfood-menu?page=1

This is what you're eating when you buy and prepare ground beef from most grocery stores in the U.S. today. It's also what you're eating when you eat a fast food burger or grab a quick bite at your local diner, most likely.

The latest issue of Mary Jane's Farm spreads some light on what's really in our ground beef. And the results of what they found are enough to make this particular blogger swear off ground beef for good. The article isn't online yet, but here are a few choice quotes:

- "Ten years ago, the rejected fat, sinew, bloody effluvia, and occasional bits of meat cut from carcasses in the slaughterhouse were a low-value waste product called 'trimmings' that were sold primarily as pet food. No more. Now, Beef Products Inc. of South Dakota transforms trimmings into something they call 'boneless lean beef.' In huge factories, the company liquefies the trimmings and uses a spinning centrifuge to separate the sinews and fats from the meat, leaving a mash that has been described as 'pink slime,' which is then frozen into small squares and sold as a low-cost additive to hamburger."

Though most of our readers are to young to suffer from age relatedprostate problems, a unhealthy prostate can damage not only the sexualperformance but also the bladder and peeing. Man entering their forties may start to find this article interesting, just like bodybuilders that are using anabolic/androgenic steroids (AAS).  Most bodybuilders juicing, are using means like HCG to prevent there testicles from crimping,  anti-aromatase to prevent their steroids from aromatising and silymarin to protect their liver. The prostate, an other organ that is effected by side effects of AAS use, is somewhat neglected.

A case of toxicity from DMAA party pills in New Zealand

This is  an incident but since we post a lot about DMAA I thought to let you know

‘Party pills’ are synthetic stimulants that emerged in New Zealand in the early 2000s. Most were 1-benzylpiperazine (BZP)-based and were widely consumed. Evidence accumulated of risk and toxicity and BZP was subsequently scheduled.1,3

Dimethylamylamine (DMAA) is one of the next generation of ‘BZP-free’ party pills.

This report describes a case of a serious complication associated with the recreational use of DMAA.

Case report

A 21-year-old man was out with friends and purchased a quantity of legal party pills identified as ’99.9%-pure DMAA’. He took the recommended dose of 2 tablets at approximately 11:30 pm along with a capsule identified as 150 mg of caffeine. He had already ingested 1 can of beer.

Within 30 minutes he developed a severe global headache and called for a friend to take him home. He subsequently became confused, incontinent of urine and vomited for 2–3 hours before falling asleep. The next morning he was drowsy and had slurred speech. He did not improve during the day so at 6 pm he was taken to the local hospital emergency department (ED).

On arrival in the ED he was confused and had slurred speech. He was disorientated in time but not person or place. He could not give a coherent history. He had a right facial droop and right-sided weakness. There was no sympathomimetic toxicity evident, however 19 hours had elapsed since ingestion. His heart rate was 65 bpm and blood pressure was 126/66 mmHg.

 

More Different Than You Think!

I tend to shy away from straight “information” articles- in other words, I’ve never written the “How Androgens Work” article, because I’ve read it several times by several authors, and I really have nothing to add. Gene Transcription and Androgen Receptor Action has been written about over, and over, ad nauseum. All of the articles I’ve read on the topic are well written and well- they’re all the same. Don’t get me wrong, all of the articles which discuss the topic are very informative, but when you’re done reading them, you don’t really have anything you can “use” in your next cycle.

And I’m sure you know the difference between orals and injectables, but do yourself a favor and read this article, because I’m going to explain some things in here that you can use in your next cycle. Actually, I’m going to explain how you can use Winstrol (Stanozolol) as either an oral or injectable, and get a very different set of effects from the same drug- depending on which route of administration you choose to utilize.

The many faces of Trenbolone

You can find many articles on the internet about Trenbolone and mostly the writers will tell you that all Trenbolones are equel (they have the same parent compound, right?). The only difference is their half-life due to their estrification and therefore also the active compound will differ due to the molecular weight of the estrification.

Confusing, maybe but during this article I’ll try to explain clearly for all to understand.

Its not only the esterifications that are responsible for the strength effect of these copounds, but also the carriers, the solvents, co-solvents and the concentration. Where one of these Trenbolones like the Trenbolone Enanthate is effective in milligrams per millilitre, an other like Metribolone is allready active in microgrammes. Accourding to VIDA, Oral-Trenbolone (Metribolone or Methyltrienolone) has an androgenic/anabolic ratio of 6,000-7,000 /12,000-30,000 as compared to Trenbolone Acetate/Enanthate 500/ 500.

I plan to update this article on a weekly basis for a long time since I have an enormous amount of data on this subject. If aanyone wants to contribute..I'd appreciate it. You can comment here or in the forumthread on blog section

VIAGRA : The latest research on exercise performance.

Viagra has moved from the bedroom to the locker room. The buzz on the street was that Yankee superstar Roger Clemens had a bottle of Viagra disguised as vitamin pills stashed in his locker. Last May, Italian cyclist Andrea Moletta was removed from the Giro d'Italia after police found a cache of Viagra and syringes in his car. Not surprisingly, the tabloids had a field day following these incidents and charged that legions of athletes in baseball, football, bodybuilding and Olympic sports took Viagra to boost endurance and physical performance. The World Anti-Doping Association (WADA) considered banning Viagra before the Beijing Olympics, but backed off because it had no evidence that the drug provided a competitive advantage.

What do firm erections have to do with sports like bodybuilding? Viagra improves blood flow control. Muscles need plenty of blood to remove wastes and deliver energy, oxygen, and hormones. Increased blood flow could speed the delivery of key amino acids to the muscles, which would promote muscle protein synthesis and growth. It seems reasonable that Viagra could boost performance and that bodybuilders might take it.

Former University of North Dakota Football Players Linked to Anabolic Steroids

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Law enforcement officers have recently been busting college athletes who use steroids even when the steroid testing program administered by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has failed to detect the use of such drugs. Police in Grand Forks County recently uncovered anabolic steroids at the home of three players for the 2011 University of North Dakota football team.

A USERS GUIDE:

Growth Hormone is a single chain polypeptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It’s a combination of 191 amino acids set in an exact order to make its formation. Years ago it was made from the corpus of dead people. Of course as of recently; it is developed in a lab. GH is involved in MANY different hormonal processes that include reducing insulin sensitivity, fat burning, reproduction, regulating basal body temperature, hair and nail growth, protecting the immune system, bone growth/formation and the main reason bodybuilders use it for which is muscle growth. The most common effect reported from using GH is an increase in a sense of overall well being. People seem to feel a lot younger when taking it on a daily basis. HGH secretes most during high intensity exercise, sleep. During the first few hours of sleep, Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone peaks while Somastatin levels drop. Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone is responsible for releasing HGH and IGF-1 levels. When GHRH and IGF-1 levels are too high, the body creates the negative feedback loop which stops the release of both hormones. High levels of Somastatin cause a dramatic increase in IGF-1 levels which stops the release of HGH. Somastatin is usually obtained from low blood glucose levels. Ghrelin binds to the receptors on somatotrophs and dramatically stimulates the secretion of Human Growth Hormone. The Ghrelin signal is combines with the growth hormone releasing hormone and somatostatin to control the timing and level of growth hormone secretion. Human Growth hormone also stimulates triglyceride hydrolysis in adipose tissue, which usually produces notable fat loss during usage of HGH. HGH also increases glucose output in the liver, and stimulates insulin resistance by blocking the activity of this hormone in those specific targeted cells. HGH increases absorption of protein and other macro/micro nutrients, it also speeds up the metabolism fast enough to start burning fat. HGH builds muscle and burns fat at the same time; it will GREATLY enhance the results you are seeking, and can be used on and off cycle.

A Comprehensive Look at Lab Tests
by Cy Willson

You just had some blood work done, and the friggin' doctor or his nurses are
guarding the results as if they're state secrets. However, after much cajoling
and explaining that you'd like to at least be an informed partner in your own
goshdarn health care, they begrudgingly give you a copy of your lab tests.

Trouble is, as much as you've been posturing about how you've had more than a
smattering of medical education, you still can't figure out what half the tests
are for and whether or not those abnormal values are anything to worry about.

 

Well, in the following article, I'm going to go over each of the most common
tests. I'll include why it's performed, what it tells you, and what the typical
ranges are for normal humans. That way, you'll have something more to go on in
assessing your health other than your family doctor saying, "Well, these few
values are a little worrisome, but you'll probably be okay."

One note, though, before I get started. The values I'll be listing are merely
averages and the ranges may vary slightly from laboratory to laboratory. Also,
if there's only one range given, it applies to both men and women.

We live in a society that hinges on appearances. Even as small children, people are taught that appearance is everything. For many of them, if their appearance doesn't meet the standards of others, their whole world crumbles. They become depressed and tend to go within and hide away. Sound a little extreme? It may very well be in some respects but the majority of society today have a tendency to measure their worth by how they look and what they have. What's even worse is the media's views and the weight these views seem to carry among the younger generation, continuously feeding this thought process. Therefore, it's very hard not to believe that looks are everything.

Bodybuilders deal with these same issues on a much larger scale. In fact, it may be even harder for bodybuilders since they are already critiqued just for their muscularity. But even with all of their mighty muscles, some bodybuilders feel that they are lacking in various areas and quickly develop the need to fix them.

Pro-bodybuilders do anything for the winning edge, they take AAS, growth hormone, thyroid hormone, diuretics, insulin, DNP,  Synthol, uppers –downers, interleukines etc etc, then why not implants and all the surgery. Many competitive bodybuilders go to excess in order to compete citing that ‘extreme sports require extreme measures,’ using a plethora of various forms for different effects
