Priming: Preparing for an AAS Growth Spurt

Frequently, athletes research how to better layout an anabolic-androgenic steroid cycle, as well as proper post cycle therapy for making the transition back to a natural training state. Unfortunately, many neglect another component for a successful AAS cycle : maximizing the time spent on using pre-cycle therapy, better know as “priming”

What is priming?

Priming is a preparatory method used to create a favorable growth environment so an AAS cycle can maximize muscle gains. The goal of priming is to make an athletes system very sensitive to increased calories, greater training intensity and elevated anabolic hormones. Psychologically, a trainee should feel pent up and ready to move heavy loads.

Priming should be done before every cycle – no matter the athlete’s previous AAS cycle experience. If completed correctly, priming will lead to very quick and dramatic results. Because of the faster results, cycle duration can also be cut back to make coming off and restoring proper hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis functioning easier, for a faster recovery of the body’s endogenous androgen production.

Anabolic Oral Steroids and the Liver

Liver damage is probably the most sensationalized of all possible side effects from oral steroid use. The media often focuses on this particular problem as if it occurs with every steroid, and in every person who takes them. Nothing could be further than the truth. Most anabolic steroids which are ingested orally pass through the liver, which functions as the body´s filtration system. When something goes through the liver, it is broken down by various enzymes, and passed along into the bloodstream. Most research on orally administered anabolic steroids focus on the fact that liver enzymes are elevated following ingestion. But does this necessarily mean that the liver is being damaged, does it? Of course not. All Oral Steroids put stress on the liver. So does alcohol, prescription drugs, asprin and physical conditions lile overweight/obesity.

Oral – liquid and injectable d-bol ( Dianabol, methandrostenolone, methandiënone).

Everyone has a favorite, a favorite moviestar, a favorite song etc, we bodybuilders also have favorite exercises, musclegroups. But we also have favorite steroids. Me, I like Dianabol (methandrostenolone/methandiënenone). Its an old saying:  “if you can’t grow on d-bol and test, you can’t grow on anaything”. Even if Arnold swore on the combo Deca/D-bol, I prefer the combo Test/Dbol. Everyone reacts different on the diverse cycles and means, its induvidual, just like taste.

I posted the cited article on Methandrostenolone here:  //juicedmuscle.com/jmblog/content/dianabolr-history-use-and-dosages .

There I also posted this exerpt from the first patent application for 1-dehydrotestosterones which resulted in studies with these new compounds. The scientists from CIBA described a way to manufacture 1 ml ampoules of oil based methandrostenolone for injections. It is pretty obvious that the CIBA scientists studied the results of this new injectable.

Lets take a side step to clarify what I wanna tell you.

Boldenone was  created while chemists where attempting to create a long acting injectable Dianabol (Methandrostenolone). A simple way to think of Boldenone, chemically at least, is that it is  Dianabol without the 17-alpha-methyl group (that´s what makes Dianabol able to be ingested orally without being destroyed by the first pass trough the liver).  Its shows how even the smallest modification of the chemical structure can completely change a steroids properties.  Boldenone is a 1-dehydro derivative of testosterone. Boldenone with an undecyclenate ester has been sold as a veterinary preparation under the brand name Equipoise. Everybody that knows about these compounds knows that Bodenone undecylenate is completely different from Dianabol, which on its turn is completely different from injectable Dianabol.

The 'Oxy Express': Florida's Drug Abuse Epidemic

Tricky Rick: Florida Governor Rick Scott
Florida is the epicenter of a prescription drug abuse epidemic. Each day in communities from Jacksonville to Fort Lauderdale, thousands of doses of powerful narcotics like oxycodone are dispensed in pain clinics — storefront operations also called "pill mills."

When he started at the Broward County Sheriff's department 30 years ago, Al Lamberti says, the department was raiding crack houses and busting junkies."Nowadays, the drug dealers are working out of strip malls," he says.

Lamberti heads the sheriff's office in a county that includes Fort Lauderdale. It's a city that has become a destination not just for spring breakers but also for addicts and drug traffickers. "We have more pain clinics than we have McDonald's restaurants," he says. "They're taking their toll."

Lamberti recently joined a dozen federal, state and local law enforcement officials at a news conference held to announce a major crackdown on Florida's pill mills. It was a series of busts, from Palm Beach to Miami, that included more than 20 arrests and the seizure of more than $22 million in cash, exotic cars and real estate.But what about this guy? Gov. Rick Scott's policies could benefit his family's $62M investment: //www.miamiherald.com/2011/04/02/2147243/gov-rick-scotts-policies-could.html

 

 

Dianabol®  history – use and dosages

Most articles about steroids start with the use of Dianabol at the end of the 1950’s or 1960 in  bodybuilding. Most of these articles also claim that Dr Ziegler  (on the picture on the left) alone or in concert with CIBA, developed 1-dehydro-17α -methyl-testosterone methandrostenolone Dianabol®  Let us review the facts briefly and see what it learns us.

But..Dr.John Ziegler was not the inventor of Dianabol  You can find it anywhere on the web, if you search for information about the history of Dianabol or methandrostenolone. That one sentence. "Methandrostenolone was originally developed by John Ziegler and released in the U.S. in 1956 by Ciba."  It is even in the lemma about Dianabol in Wikipedia.

An article states : “Ziegler discovered a kinder  gentler testosterone, according to sources, he submitted his discovery to the Ciba Pharmaceutical company and they agreed to purchase the formula. He was paid $100."

A nice story, but it is not true. Ziegler had nothing to do with the invention of dianabol. Ziegler was a doctor, not a chemist. You can follow the development of Dianabol in the patent literature of the fifties. In these patentapplications you will never find the name of John Bosley Ziegler. What John Ziegler did was researching the effects of these new means “in vivo” on the York weightlifters.

Best Bulking Anabolic Steroids

Bulking is an art. An art that takes a ton of effort to be successful at. Especially when you are a seasoned juicer who has already put on some mass. If you have not gained at least 20 pounds over the weight you were at before coming over to the dark side, you just have not been juicing effectively and you will be very happy with the information that follows. If you have put on a good deal of size, you will still find useful information in the following paragraphs, but for now, we will not discuss usage of other non-anbolic steroid bulking drugs such as insulin. We will get to that soon though. Keep reading!

The catch with bulking drugs is that you have to accept not being so pretty if you are to really put on some size. Water and a little fat weight have to come with adding considerable size unless you are a genetic abnormality. The most potent drugs for bulking involve the heavy androgenic drugs which also cause large amounts of water retention. All the testosterone esters, anadrol, dianabol, and deca or equipoise when combined with any of the former make for a good bulking team.

Brian in Ireland

Irish authorities convicted Brian  Wainstein of distributing steroids in 2003. Canadian authorities issued an arrest warrant for Wainstein on steroid distribution and conspiracy charges based on involvement with GenXXL in 2006. Wainstein has since been publicly linked to another underground lab Axio labs in 2008 and 2009. Wainstein is clearly on the steroid most wanted list. Law enforcement is most likely aggressively pursuing any and all identifiable co-conspirators of Brian Wainstein as well.

The Paperbol Enterprise

The story of British Dragon gets intertwined with the story of the first “paper steroid” enterprise. Pattaya Thailand is where the whole “Paperbol” saga started. More specifically, this all began at the Chevin Gym. Upstairs from the gym was a set of apartments. Here lived three key players. One was a man named Sam, another a British expatriate named William, and lastly Alan C (his brother Duncan was the owner). Richard used to train in this gym, and a guy named “old George” used to come and drink coffee there. Ashley wasn’t there at the time. He was selling real estate and worked for Ideal Homes. The group used to gather here in the late nineties, sitting, talking, and thinking of ideas of how to make money.

 

The Godfather of Dianabol

Once upon a time, elite athletes who took extreme doses of anabolic steroids were sure that the drugs helped them jump higher, run faster, grow stronger. But these notions had never been verified in a lab. So in 1975 a British physiology professor at the University of Leeds, G. Romaine Hervey, set up an experiment to determine whether high doses of steroids truly boosted athletic performance or just gave users a psychological edge. "We knew young men who lifted weights felt that anabolic steroids helped them lift more, but we really didn't know [if they did]," says Hervey, now 83. "And since steroids did seem to make them bigger, we wanted to see whether that was normal muscle or water or something else."

It was a worthy inquiry, but Hervey was undone by one monumental oversight: He allowed 25-year-old Tony Fitton to observe the study. An industrial chemist and a top British powerlifter, Fitton watched with delight as the 11 subjects, gathered in a hotel room near campus, received boxes of the anabolic steroid Dianabol -- a drug he had been regularly using for three years. The instant Hervey left the room, Fitton took over. "Lads, the dosages are a bit high," he said of Hervey's regimen of 20 five-milligram tablets a day for six weeks. "If you feel more inclined to taking just two tablets a day, I'll buy [the rest] off you." As Fitton recalls, almost everyone in the room accepted his offer. Naturally, the subjects did not show appreciable strength gains at the end of the study. Fitton, meanwhile, had procured a cache of Dbol that he could deal or dole out to his lifting buddies.

 The Rise and Fall of British Dragon.

 With the death of the two original founders of the British Dragon, the time has come to write a conclusive story about this legendary Underground Laboratory, that set a footmark to most of the present Underground Laboratories, some even originate from its organization.
