We read a lot on the discussion boards and magazines about the use of drugs, the trainings and diet protocols of the bodybuilders. The bodybuilders in this research are no professionals. They are competing in the senior men’s division of International Federation of Body Building South Africa (IFBBSA). All the athletes registered with the (IFBBSA) were invited to participate in the study. More than 200 invitations were sent out to the existing database – only 19 athletes conveyed their interest in participation. Eventually, only 14 athletes partook in the full protocol. They competed on Provincial and National contests in different weight categories. What makes it really interesting is the fact that the researchers captured all information in schemes. Of course most readers are particular interested in the drug protocols, we call cycles. You’ll find some at the end of this blog-post. It also shows the huge difference in doses. The study also shows the influence of diet –heavy training and diet on blood-pressure, kidneys, liver and other organs.
In short the effects and side/effects of AAS and ancillaries on the body composition, blood values and the organs of the athletes
