  • Bodybuilding Tips - Testex or Viromone?
    A bodybuilder who used fairly low androgenic gear in the past due to not wanting too much water retention told me he was thinking of taking something a little higher and that his dealer had suggested Viromone or Testex. He asked me to explain what the different results might be, so I gave him the following answer.

  • Training Techniques - Training Up Big Muscles (Part 2)
    The all important water can also be used to help flush nutrients (e.g. amino acids, vitamins etc.) through your body, which enables these nutrients to bathe all your tissues optimally and ensure their optimum health, which is vital for good gains: this could not be achieved in a low water intake environment. It's also important to note that the amino acid L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue, and so it's well worthwhile to supplement your diet with extra L-glutamine.
  • Training Techniques: Training The Largest muscles (Part 1)
    In order to create a highly anabolic environment within the body, it is important that the largest muscles of the body (primarily those that are involved in the squat, deadlift, and even leg-pressing to a large extent, i.e. the muscles of the thigh, hip and lower back) are trained and stimulated to grow. Why? Since these muscles comprise such a large amount of the total muscle mass on the human body, any training stress of sufficient intensity to cause these muscles to grow will also place great stress on the body overall.
  • Building Mass in the Biceps, Brachialis and Triceps
    If you want to get incredible bicep mass you will have to do the standing barbell curl and the standing barbell cheat-curl exercises. The cheat curl actually means the use of a heavy weight that you normally can't lift in order to make the muscles of the upper body 'swing' the weight up, hence cheating, but you should only cheat enough to complete the curl. In this way The biceps are forced to work to the full throughout the movement.
  • Building Massive Muscles
    When it comes to getting the ultimate in bicep mass you need to do the standing barbell curl and the standing barbell cheat-curl exercises. The cheat curl is the use of a heavy weight that you can't lift correctly so that you need to use the muscles of the upper body to 'swing' the weight up, in other words cheating, but you can just cheat enough so that you are able to complete the curl. The biceps are forced to work maximally throughout the movement, when just cheating enough to complete the curl.
  • The Bodybuilding Machine ...Past and Present (Part 2)
    There exists an elite group of hard core bodybuilders who pump like hell and just love strutting round and showing off their muscles and only focus on competitions and winning them and making a space in their trophy cabinet. This is all very well but their training does have a basis and continually keeps up with the ever rising standards that are expected at modern day physique contests with regards muscular form.
  • Inside Bodybuilding ...Past and Present (Part 1)
    I really am beginning to become fuming about bodybuilding and it's just like having haemorrhoids. Everywhere you look or read reading the sport you just keep seeing articles about poor physique standards and even worse is the attention being paid to the professional contests judging results.
  • Squatters On Squats And Squatting (Part 2)
    A great proven way to gain weight and having been so since the times of Mark Berry, Roger Eells and others are breathing squats and pullover combo. They have been backed up by Peary Rader of Iron Man for many years and what really makes them stand out is the fact that they don't put any strain on the spinal column like heavy squats do.
  • Squats, Squatters and More Squatting (Part 3)
    DOC SQUAT... Old Doc Squat aimed always for power, used every aid available, knee wraps, lifting suits, thick belt, more sophisticated style, using feet spread beyond shoulder width, the bar carried as far down the back as your P.L. rules will allow, (below the delts) a considerable amount of forward leaning to let the glutes and spinal erectors (low back) share the load with the thighs and in powerlifting the lift is considered complete as soon as top of the thighs hit parallel.
  • Intense Cycles For Advanced Lifters (Part 3)
    By now you should be in your second week and wanting to back off the 80% x 6 x 2 light session cause you just can't fact it any more. You feel your only option is to go and get the latest copy of Men's Health magazine cause you can't be a real man. At this point I will give you some real self-confidence cause I know you can be a strong man. You know, feeling tired out is something you are just going to have to live with and it certainly isn't an excuse to have time out and lay in bed all day playing with your todger. You can only make any judgement on your efforts if you are finishing your lifts and if you are you on your way to getting the expected results.
  • Intense Cycles For Advanced Lifters (Part 2)
    For the chosen lift you will need to determine your one rep maximum, as the cycle will be based on % of that maximum lift. If you don't know your 1rep max for your lifts then it is probably a good indication that your record keeping is not what it should be or maybe simply that you are a perpetual fluff bunny who doesn't like heavy iron. You can guestimate your one rep maxes from experience if you like, or hold on your cookies, get a decent spot and find out for sure. Your choice!
  • Starting out Juicing (Part 1)
    If you are young or even just new to the bodybuilding scene then I urge you to read this before making a decision that can and will change the rest of your life forever. So, are you too young? I decided to write this article due to the countless mails I have received asking advice on cycles from well, children. Let me start be giving you a few examples of mails which I have been sent:
  • Intense Cycles For Advanced Lifters (Part 1)
    There may come a time in your training when you have achieved a high level of strength and development throughout your body and decide to specialise in one particular lift for a period of time. If you are a fairly advanced lifter with many years experience you may find that the weights you must lift to make progress actually hinder your recovery to the point where you are training extremely hard just to maintain your strength levels, with progress coming in almost immeasurable drops followed by long periods of stagnation.
  • steroids and drug testing (part 2)
    Immuno Assay (IA) This is whereby antibodies are used as mirror images to track down illegal cells and if they find one they bond to the molecular cell. They can also detect the metabolites which are produced when the illegal substance enters the body. The test though is only as good as the antibodies that are employed as they could ending up bonding to some other body that is not an illegal substance, but still producing a negative test result.
  • Testing For Anabolic Steroids (part 1)
    Drug testing in modern day sporting events is quite common practise nowadays. We are normally lead to believe that a very small percentage of competitors use performance enhancing drugs, but the truth is that is very common place amongst modern day competitors. There really isn't anything wrong in wanting to have a competitive edge over your main rivals, and that would normally amount to some form of anabolic steroids backed up by a plan to beat the test.
  • Squatters On Squats And Squatting (part 1)
    Anyone who tells you they like squats is either genetically gifted, a masochist or a liar. Whilst the act of squatting is as natural as a form of resting or for defecating, to sink into a low squat and then rise with a rounded spine, lifting a heavy weight which crushes into your neck vertebrae is about as natural as most movie starlets mamory glands. Note I am not saying squats don't work or you should not do them I am just saying for most they are an exercise best gotten over with fast, like having teeth extracted.
  • Steroids And Your Blood (part 2)
    A weight trainer is not always too concerned about glucose, but what he doesn't realise is that medicine has an adverse affect on blood sugar levels. Combine with the higher intake of carbs compared to a normal person, these raised levels could point towards to beginning of diabetes.
  • Steroids and Blood (Part 1)
    Any weight trainer who is committed to heavy lifting will produce fantastic results regardless of whether he is using Steroids or not. I want us to focus on the liver which we know as being one of the most vital organs although as you know they all are for a bodybuilder in detoxification, various food conversion processes, growth and tissue repair.
  • Bodybuilding and Training Errors (Part 2)
    It is a proven fact that our post training body has the ability to synthesis more protein. It is also a fact that our muscle tissue after training is a lot more sensitive to insulin and that the simple carbs tend to stock themselves up with glycogen rather than replenishing our body fat levels.
  • Bodybuilding and common Training Errors (Part 1)
    Eating like a pigeon: There's nothing simpler than the fact that if you are not putting on weight, you just have to eat larger quantities so you can grow more body tissues. That means not only more proteins but also more carbohydrates and even fats.
  • Bodybuilding Training: Volume, Load and Density
    What we are going to consider is: How can we achieve muscle gains quickly? There are in fact various answers but we are going to focus on the most effective way although not the easiest in the following text.
  • Eating Bananas And Bodybuilding
    So rather than an apple a day... If you really need to boost up your depleted energy levels, nothing beats a banana. Made up of three natural sugars - glucose, fructose and sucrose - mixed with fibre, results in producing a long lasting energy surge. Studies show that only two bananas can give you the necessary energy for an intense 90 minute workout. It isn't a great surprise then that the world's top athletes consider the banana as being the number one fruit.
  • The Future of Bodybuilders (Part 3)
    On 22nd May 2003, a Bodybuilder died. Scott Klein was found dead in the early hours in his bed by his mother. Although he was a healthy 30 year old man, he died of cardio-vascular disease and kidney failure. Now this guy had no gentical illness, so as far as I am aware his death was not typical for someone of his age. And then just to top it all another great bodybuilder Tom Prince fell ill during the same week with Kidney problems and ulcers.
  • Body Builders and their Futre (Part 2)
    Just fifty years back, drugs had yet to appear on the bodybuilding scene. It wasn't until the late 50s that we begin to hear about drug use in sport and by the early 60s Dianabol was being taken by bodybuilders. This coincided with the big drug companies seeing their opportunity of making big money through the development of their own steroid drugs most of which are still in use today. Things didn't quite turn out as expected though as the initial drug use reports appeared and many companies abandoned their products. Although many good drugs were actually patented, they were never fully developed.
  • The future of Bodybuilders (Part 1)
    Bodybuilders are not immortal; they will all die sometime. But this Bodybuilder was just 30 years old. He was not the most well-known man in the world. He was not even the most well-known in his chosen sport of bodybuilding. He was an American heavyweight, winner of a number of state titles and consistently placing in the middle of the line-ups at National level.
  • When to start juicing (Part 3)
    I was so proud of myself when I reached 21, having grown a further 2 inches and now I really did feel prepared to start cycles both mentally and physically. Up till now I had done it the hard way without drugs and now I was more determined than ever to succeed. It is so important to push yourself to the limit and work hard on eating...I managed to get up to 7 meals a day.
  • Too Young to use Creatine (Part 2)
    So what age should I wait until? And why? In my opinion I would say about 21. When you are a teenager, boys will have a naturally high testosterone level anyway, which is why we see growth spurts at that age in males. At that age the body is not fully matured. Bones, muscle tissue, internal organs etc are all still undergoing their natural maturity.
  • Too Young to use Creatine (Part 1)
    Should you be a bodybuilding novice or a teenager then you MUST read this article which will help you make a decision this will no doubtedly change the rest of your life. One of my opening questions would be, Are you too young? Check out some of the e-mails I have received from CHILDREN regarding Cycles.
  • Bodybuilding for Teenagers (part 2)
    Carrying on from part 1, I would insist on weight training exercises being light to medium , that means no heavy low squats or dead lifts and avoid any spine bending exercise. Start off with fun type exercises without putting them through any ordeal, and never make them train against their will. Try out free standing excercises, flexibility work and teamwork skills through sporting activities.
  • Weight Training for Teenagers (part 1)
    Youth is a time of high motivation for self-improvement and the obtaining of a satisfactory self image. Conversely it can also be a time of much self-doubt and despair. For many, early life can be sheer agony. Stick insect thin or obese conditions when young send many teenagers into almost suicidal despondency, so each and every straw is grasped in an attempt to become within the acceptable norm physically; always under peer pressure. Cures for pimples and spots are sought, only to be constantly defeated by adolescent hormones working overtime.
  • Healthy Habits for increasing Muscle Mass
    In order to get the best results from your workouts, it is a fact that you must make available to your body all the necessary vitamins and minerals in addition to enough of the major components of the diet i.e. protein, carbohydrate and fats and oils (lipids). The proteins, carbohydrates and lipids are the 'macro-nutrients' of the diet since they are consumed in much larger amounts compared to the 'micro-nutrients' which are the vitamins, minerals and other biological substances consumed in much smaller amounts in the diet than are the 'macro-nutrients', but are found in varying amounts accompanying the macro-nutrients in food.
