WHAT ARE STEROIDS AND FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANABOLIC
STEOROIDS AND ANDROGENIC STEROIDS?
Steroids, the common name, are basically AAS, Anabolic Androgenic Steroids. Even though AAS is
technically more correct, however AAS are often referred to just Anabolic Steroids or just plain AS. AAS
are artificially produced or the synthetic version of the male sex hormone Testosterone.
All Steroids basically possess both the properties, Anabolic and Androgenic, just in varying degrees
(More on this covered in detail further down the text).
Anabolic Part of any given steroid is what contributes to the Muscle Growth, Lean Muscle Mass Gain,
Strength Gain, Speed Gain, Endurance Gain, and General Overall Performance.
Androgenic Part of any given Steroid is what contributes to the changes in characteristics like Facial
Growth, Development of Vocal Chords, Enlargement of Breasts in Men, known as Gynecomastia, and
Development of other Male Features.
WHAT IS TESTOSTERONE?
Testosterone is the main primary male hormone. Is produced in the Leydig Cells in the testes,
and the production varies during different stages of life.
SECONDARY EFFECTS OF TESTOSTERONE:

 Deepening of the Voice
 Facial Hair Growth.
 Increased Oil Production from Sebaceous Glands.
 Development of Sexual Organs.
 Maturation of Sperm
 Increased Libido
Above are considered as “Masculinizing” or “Androgenic” effects of Testosterone.
EFFECTS OF TESTOSTERONE:
 Deepening of the Voice
 Facial Hair Growth.
 Increased Oil Production from Sebaceous Glands.
 Development of Sexual Organs.
 Maturation of Sperm
Above are considered as “Masculinizing” or “Androgenic” effects of Testosterone, and hence the AAS.
NOTE: Testosterone hormone is the basis by which all ratings of AS are measured. And this is what
makes Synthetic/Artificial Testosterone as one of the most suitable steroids for TRT or HRT.
HOW MUCH TESTOSTERONE AN AVERAGE MALE PRODUCES?
This is one the MOST FUNDAMENTAL THINGS TO UNDERSTAND AND GET YOUR HEAD AROUND – An
average, young, fit and healthy male produces around 7mgs of Testosterone PER DAY, that is around
49mgs of Testosterone PER WEEK!
To put things in Perspective for the Steroid user, you will massively struggle to find any form of
Synthetic Testosterone below 50mg/ml or the lowest usable amount.
WHAT DOES ESTER MEAN?

Esters are generally classified into 2 main categories
1. Short Esters
2. Long Esters
Ester in simpler terms is a Carbon Chain attached to the active steroid. Most steroid users would know,
Test Propionate is significantly faster acting in comparison to its other counterpart, Test Enanthate or
Test Cypionate. Test Propionate generally requires administration ED (Every Day) or EOD (Every Other
Day) in comparison to once or twice maximum per week (in Therapeutic settings, often once every 2
week) even in Performance Enhancement settings.
To put things in bit more technical perspective, Testosterone Propionate is a 3 Carbon Chain Ester, c-c-c.
What this essentially means, it has 3 Carbons in the chain. On the other hand Testosterone Enanthate
has 8 Carbons in the chain, c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c. This is what makes Enanthate significantly lot less soluble in
the water, and is hence suspended in oil, and this is what actually slows the release of the drug into the
body. Also, generally, longer the ester of a steroid, less active compound it has. For instance Test
Propionate has 83.72mg/100mgs of Active Compound, due to its shorter Ester, whereas Test
Enanthate’s Active Compound is 69.90/100mgs due to its longer Ester. As a result of this variation, Test
Propionate is often more expensive than the longer Ester Test Enanthate or Test Cypionate.
On the extreme end of the spectrum, Test Suspension has 100mgs/100mgs of Active Compound,
because it has no Esters attached to it. But its suspended in Steralized water.
Also, as a general rule, shorter the Ester, the more painful the injection usually is, that’s one of the main
reasons why Test Suspension hurts like hell.
WHAT DOES HALF LIFE MEAN?

Any drug that you take, regardless of the type or how it’s administered, it goes through the below 3
processes in the body:
1. Absorption: How the body absorbs it, and how it functions in the body.
2. Degradation: Breakdown of the drug for its elimination from the body.
3. Elimination: Actual elimination/removal of the drug and its metabolites from the body.
A drug’s half life is the time for half of the drug to be no more active. For example, if you have taken
100mgs of something, and its regarded as carrying half life of 8 days, what this means in simpler terms,
50% of the drug’s benefits or effects are gone by Day 8. And its total effectiveness will be gone by Day
16, if strictly speaking. However this does NOT MEAN, that the drug’s traces or metabolites aren’t
present in your body anymore or the drug is not detectable. The drug’s Active Life or Effectiveness is
often completely removed and separate from the drug’s “Detection Time”. The user must not confuse
the two.
WHAT IS ANABOLIC – ANDROGENIC RATIO (AAR)?

Esther is basically….
WHAT DOES THE TERM “ESTROGENIC” MEAN?

You often hear the above term thrown around something like this, “So and so food or drug is highly
Estrogenic”. What this essentially means is, the substance is Estrogen promoting. For instance, plastic,
BPA, certain foods are regarded as higher in their Estrogenic Properties than others.
Note: Please do not confuse Estrogenic and Aromatisation. Both are completely different.
WHAT DOES THE TERM “AROMATASE” MEAN?

Put simply, Aromatization is the process by which the body converts anabolic steroids/Testosterone
(Exogenous Synthetic or Endogenous). Body loves balance, and whenever your Test levels go up
abnormally it will always convert some of that Test into Estrogen to balance things out. It is THIS
process of conversion of Testosterone into Estrogen is what’s called Aromatization. Often the body will
convert even regular amounts of Testosterone produced into Estrogen, if it’s not functioning properly.
WHAT DOES THE TERM “AROMATASE INHIBITORS” MEAN?

Aromatase Inhibitors or often just referred to as AI’s are a class of drugs, which are used to significantly
reduce the production of Estrogen. The main reason and purpose of the development of this class of
drugs was primarily to fight Breast Cancer in women. However, male (and sometimes female body
builders too) body builders have successfully used AI’s to combat the problem of excessive Estrogen,
and also to drop Body Fat. Although these weren’t the original uses the drug was developed, but body
builders are an ingenious and creative bunch!
These are the class of drugs that work by suppressing the endogenous production of Estrogen. AI’s are
highly effective in combating the problem of excessive Estrogen. Their main role in the world of Body
Building is 2 fold:
1: To prevent Gynecomastia during the use of Steroids.

2: Aid in the recovery during PCT.
NOTE: AI’s will suppress the actual production of the Estrogen.
What Are The Popular AI’s?: In the world of Body Building there are mainly 3 main ones, although there
are many more AI’s, but for the sake of simplicity and relevance, we will stick with the below 3.
1. Arimidex – Anastrozole
2. Aromasin – Exmestane
3. Letrozole - Femara
WHAT DOES THE TERM “SERM” MEAN?
SERM Stands for Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator. These are the class of drugs that work on the
Estrogen Receptors in the body. SERMS were, and still are, originally developed to fight Breast Cancer in
women. Their main role in the world of Body Building is 2 fold:
1. To prevent Gynecomastia during the use of Steroids.

2. Aid in the recovery during PCT.
NOTE: SERMS don’t actually stop or lower the production of Estrogen in the body. They only bind onto
the Estrogen Receptors in the body.
What Are The Popular SERMS?: In the world of Body Building there are mainly 2 main ones, although
there are many more SERMS, but for the sake of simplicity and relevance, we will stick with the below 2.
1. Nolvadex – Tamoxifen Citrate.

2. Clomid – Clomiphene Citrate.
WHAT DOES THE TERM “SARM” MEAN?

SARM stands for Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator. SARM’s are a novel class of androgen
receptor ligands. They are purported to have a very similar effect that Anabolic Steroids do on
Hypertrophy and Fat Loss. The main objective in the development of SARM’s has been is, to target the
cells that need to be affected positively, and spare the other tissues, a property Anabolic Steroids don’t
possess, as they affect all tissues in the same fashion, as they don’t carry the properties of “individual”
targeting of the tissues. This is a “supposed” attribute of the SARM’s, and not proven beyond reasonable
doubt yet!
Also, the fact, that none of the SARM’s have been developed to have a dedicated Anabolic effect on the
muscles without any unwanted side effects. However, so far none of the SARM’s have been shown to
cause any liver damage, which is a very promising factor, since most oral steroids are quite damaging to
the liver.
SARM’s are a promising alternative to Anabolic Steroids, however their efficacy and side effects are not
fully established.
WHAT DOES THE TERM “HEPATOXICITY” MEAN?

Hepatoxicity is what is generally regarded as, Chemical driven liver damage. This is one of the most
profound effects Oral Anabolic steroids.
WHAT ARE PEPTIDES?

Peptides are short chain amino acid monomers linked by a peptide bond. They are basically like small
proteins. Technically anything fewer than 50 Amino Acids is a Peptide. Even Creatine and Glutamine are
your Peptides. The main mechanism via which Peptides work is, by influencing the release of Growth
Hormone (GH). It is this trait of the Peptides, which makes them a very attractive proposition.
MOST OF THESE PEPTIDES ARE FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY.

As we age, the production of IGF 1 goes down, especially during the times of stress.
ONE OF THE GH’S MAIN EFFECTS IS TO TRIGGER THE LIVER TO PRODUCE AND RELEASE IGF 1 IN THE
BLOOD. GH ALSO TRIGGERS THE IFG 1 PRODCUTION WITHIN THE CELLS. IGF 1 HAS BEEN SHOWN TO
CAUSE HYPERPLAYSIA AS WELL AS HYPERTROPHY.
GH FOR FAT LOSS: ANOTHER WAY GH HELPS WITH FAT LOSS IS THAT IT MAINTAINS BLOOD GLUDOCSE
LEVELS BY INHIBITING GLUCOSE UPTAKE INTO THE PERIPHERAL CELLS, DECREASING GLUCOSE
OXIDATION FOR ENEERGY IN THE CELLS AND THEREFORE INCREASING GLUDOSE PRODUCTION IN CELLS
FROM FAT AND AMINO ACIDS. THE FREE FATTY ACIDS IN THE BLOOD FROM LIPOLYSIS ALSO PARTIALLY
BLOCK THE INSULIN RECEPTORS ON CELL MEMBRANES DEREASING THE EFFECTIVNESS OF INSULIN IN
TRIGGERING THE REMOVAL OF GLUCOSE FROM THE BLOOS, CAUSING INSULING RESISTANCE OR
DECREASED INSULIN SENSITIVITY. THESE ALL COMBINED RESUL IN FAT LOSS, ESPECIALLY ABDOMINAL
AREA. ( PEPTIDESCLINIC.COM.AU.)
Peptides are digested and more easily used as they are smaller and your body doesn’t have to break
down a larger protein.
Main function of the Peptides is to increases the secretion of the Growth Hormone.
So, for natural production of Peptides, intake of all the amino acids is very important.
There are many different kind of Peptides.
FOR ANABOLISSM
IGF 1 IS A POLYPEPTIDE HORMONE AND NOT A GHRH.
IGF 1, GHRP – 6 AND IPAMORELIN ARE GREAT FOR FAT LOSS AND HYPERTROPHY
MELANOTAN: FOR INCREASING THE TAN
SNAP 8 FOR WRINKLES
CARDARINE OR GW 501516: IT IS TECHNICALLY NOT A SARM, IT IS TECHNICALLY A PPAR – PEROXISOME

PROLIEFERATOR ACTIVATED RECEPTROS).
It was developed in 2000, and discontinued in 2008. Now it is only for research purposes. It was
primiarily developed to treat obesity, diabetes, lipid strain and heart healtlh problems. It is also very
powerful at increasing endurance.
It is best used during PCT, as it does not affect your hormone production.
DOSAGE: 20 MGS PER DAY
HALF LIFE: 20-14 HOURS
FORM: ORAL LIQUID
IGF 1 LR3:
HALF LIFE: 30 HOUR
HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM GH:
The greatest difference between IGF 1 AND GH is, IGF 1 Can directly stimulate muscle growth when
compared to GH. This is because GH indirectly results in Growth, and repaid by first inducing IGF1
release in the liver. With the use of IGF1, you don’ thave to worry about IGF1 release in the liver,
because you are directly injecting IGF1.
IT PREVENTS THE GLUCOSE FROM ENTERING THE CELLS THUS FORCING FAT TO BE BURNED AS FUEL.
DOSAGE: 10 TO 20 MCG POST WORKOUT - IF STACKING WITH GH, THEN 2-4 IU’S OF GH WITH
BREAKFAST.
CAN GO AS HIGH AS 50 MG PER DAY.
CYCLE LENGTH: 50 DAYS – SINCE 1 VIAL OF 1000MCG @ 20 MCGS PER DAY WILL LAST YOU FOR 50 DAYS.
SIDE EFFECTS: IGF 1 IS KNOWN TO CAUSE FATIGUE.
TREN AND NPP GREATLY INCREASES THE PRODUCTION OF IGF 1.
HOW IS IGF 1 BEST MIXED AND STORED?
Assuming that we use the lyophilized form (dry powder ) of Long R3 IGF , equivalent to a 1000mvg vial.
Otos nest [re[ared by using 1 ml or 2ml of acetic acid. Let the acetic acid seep in to the vile after
removing the vaccum from the container. Then, let the mixture in the vial sit for a while. Put it in the
fridge where the IGF 1 mixture can dissolve without accidentally knocking the vial or shaking its
contents. Then afterwards, it all about diluting your Long RD in NacL or Bacteriostatci water before Intra
Muscular or Subcutaneous use.
IGF 1 DES : IS REGARDED AS 5 TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN LR 3.
DOSAGE: 50 TO 150 MCGS PER DAY.
MUCH SHORTER HALF LIFE: 10 TO 30 Minutes max
CJC 1295: This is a GHRH.
USAGE: The main purpose of this peptide is to actually increase the levels of GH, which in turn will
increase the production of IGF 1.
THE WHOLE POINT OF USING A PRODUCT IN THE CATEGORY OF GHRH, IS TO BE USED AS ALTERNATIVE
TO ACTUAL GH
THE OTHER PRINCIPAL GHRH PRODUCE IS MOD GRF 1-29.
DON’T BUY CJC 1295 WITHOUT DAC ONLY BUY EITHER CJC 1295 WITH DAC.
PACKAGING: It usually comes in vials of 2 or 5mgs of Lyophilized Powder. The contents should be
reconstituted by addinga convenitent amount of sterile or bacteriostatic water.
If for example 2ml is chosen, and the dosing of the vial is 2mg, the resulting solution then has a
concentration of 1mg/ml or 1000mcg/ml.
YOU USE INSULIN SYRINGE TO DRAW AND INJECT.
In the above example, a 1000 mcg dose would require a volume of 1ml, or 100 IU as marked on an
Insulin syringe.
ADMINISTRATION: SUBCUTANEOUS OR INTRAMUSCULAR.
DOSAGE: 1000MCG AT A TIME – USUALLY TWICE A DAY FOR BEST RESULTS - TWICE A WEEK.
GHRP 2 AND 6:
CYCLE LENGTH: USUALLY 12 TO 16 MONTHS.
DOSAGE FREQUENCY: 1 TO 6 TIMES A DAY STARTING AT 25 TO 50 MCG.
SUBCUTANEOUSLY IN THE ABDOMEN. 30 MINUTES BEFORE A MEAL OR 90 MINUTES AFTER A MEAL .
GHRP 2’S MAIN ROLE IS TO STIMULATE THE RELEASE OF ENDOGENOUS GH.
IN RESEARCHES, GHRP 2 SHOWED THE ABILITY TO STIMULATE THE PITUITARY TO INCREASE SECRETION
OF GH BY 7 TO 15 TIMES.
There are mainly 2 groups of Peptides:
1. GHRH: Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone: Only ones worth noting is CJC 1295
2. GHRP: Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide: GHRP’S 6,2 HEXAMORALIN AND IPAMORELIN
GHRP 6: MAKES YOU QUITE HUNGRY
GHRP 2: CAN AFFECT YOUR SLEEP
HEXARELIN: BUR YOU CAN GET DESENSITIZED AT HIGHER DOSAGES
IPAMORELIN:
USUAL DOSAGE IS : 1MCG PER KILO OF BODY WHERIGH.
WHAT IS POST CYCLE THERAPY (PCT)?

Whenever you use steroids, your body’s endogenous (own production) suffers. Higher the use of
exogenous (external sources) compounds, steroids in this instance, more your body’s endogenous
production of hormones will suffer.
The hormone that gets hits the most as far as the production of it goes, from use of Steroids is
Testosterone. The other hormones whose production increases far above the acceptable or desirable
range are Estrogen and Progesterone. Excess amounts of both can be quite detrimental to your health
too.
When you stop or finish a cycle, quite often your body is producing very low amount of Testosterone,
often well below the lowest range, and as mentioned above Estrogen and Progesterone can be lot
higher than desired.
So, the entire purpose of doing a PCT is to stimulate the endogenous production of the hormone
Testosterone and bring down Estrogen and Progesterone within acceptable and desired range. And the
second big purpose of the PCT is, to shorten the time of the recovery. Bigger the steroid Cycle, more
comprehensive your PCT needs to be. If a proper PCT is not executed or is delayed, your natural
production of Testosterone can take over a year to come back properly.
How Does PCT Work?: A good PCT will try to stimulate your pituitary to release more Luteinizing
Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) which will in-turn stimulate the testicles to
produce more testosterone.
ANTI ESTROGENS
There are primarily 2 Categories of Anti Estrogens:
1. SERMS- Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators

2. AI’s – Aromatase Inhibitors.
Note: We will first look at the SERMS, and then look at Aromatase Inhibitors.
NOLVADEX – TAMOXIFEN CITRATE:

Nolvadex is arguably one of the most common and popular SERM.
Clinical Use: Used for the treatment of breast cancer in women.
Use in Body Building: To prevent Gynecomastia during the use of Steroids and aid in the recovery
during PCT.
HALF LIFE: 1 Day.
Administration Method: Oral
Dosage Composition: Usually 20mg Tablets
Usual Packaging: Varies .
Hepatotoxicity: None
Active Compound: Tamoxifen Citrate

Dosage Amount: Usually 10mgs (During Cycle) to 40mgs (During PCT, often dropping down to 20mgs
after the first 2 or 3 weeks) ED for males, and no more than 10mgs ED for females.
Common Usage During Cycle: Lot of men can suffer from the risk of Gynecomastia while using Anabolic
Steroids, due to the Aromatisation of Testosterone. 10mgs ED of Nolvadex can usually address this
problem. However in some instances, Nolvadex or Clomid won’t do the job, so the person has to move
on to the actual Aromatase Inhibitors like Arimidex or Aromasin.
Dosage Frequency: Every Day.
Dosage Caution: More than 50Mgs Per Day, should never be taken.
Usage By Women:Not advised, but if you were to go down that path, this is a “comparatively” safer
option than Anabolic Steroids.
NOTES:Not advised to be used by Bodybuilders for managing of Estrogen for it’s possible and potential
affects on suppression of GH.
CLOMID – CLOMIPHENE CITRATE:

Clomid along with Nolvadex is arguably one of the most common and popular SERM.
Clinical Use: Used for Fertility purposes amongst women due to its ability to enhance the release of
gonadotropins.
Use in Body Building: To prevent Gynecomastia during the use of Steroids and aid in the recovery
during PCT. In men, Clomid also has the ability to stimulate the pituitary to release more LH and FSH,
which will in turn stimulate enhanced natural testosterone production.
HALF LIFE: 1 Day.
Active Compound: Clomiphene Citrate
Dosage Amount : Usually 50 (During Cycle) to 100mgs to 150mgs (During PCT, often dropping down to
50mgs after the first 2 or 3 weeks) ED for males, and no more than 10mgs ED for females
Steroids, due to the Aromatisation of Testosterone. 10mgs ED of Nolvadex can usually address this
problem. However in some instances, Nolvadex or Clomid won’t do the job, so the person has to move
on to the actual Aromatase Inhibitors like Arimidex or Aromasin.
Dosage Frequency: Every Day.
Dosage Caution: More than 50Mgs Per Day during cycle should never be needed. If 50mgs during cycle
doesn’t work, then most likely you will need to move onto stronger compounds like AI’s like Arimidex or
Aromasin.
Usage By Women:Not advised, but if you were to go down that path, this is a “comparatively” safer
option than Anabolic Steroids.
WHAT DOES THE TERM “AROMATASE INHIBITOR OR AI” MEAN?

AI stands for Aromatase Inhibitors. These are the class of drugs that work by suppressing the
endogenous production of Estrogen. AI’s are highly effective in combating the problem of excessive
Estrogen. Their main role in the world of Body Building is 2 fold:
1: To prevent Gynecomastia during the use of Steroids.

2: Aid in the recovery during PCT.
NOTE:AI’s will suppress the actual production of the Estrogen.
What Are The Popular AI’s?: In the world of Body Building there are mainly 3 main ones, although there
are many more AI’s, but for the sake of simplicity and relevance, we will stick with the below 3.
1: Arimidex – Anastrozole
2: Aromasin – Exmestane
3: Letrozole
AROMATASE INHIBITORS
ARIMIDEX:
Arimidex falls under the category of Aromatase Inhibitors
Clinical Use: It was developed for the treatment for Advanced Breast Cancer in women. 1mg of Arimidex
can suppress the Estrogen production by upto 80%.

PCT.The second use of it is to bring in a tighter and drier physique for competition purposes.
HALF LIFE: 1 Day.
Hepatotoxicity: Not known

Dosage Amount : Usually 0.5mg E0D to1 mgs ED max. 1mgs ED is definitely on the higher side of dosage,
and can cause serious side effects.
Steroids, due to the Aromatisation of Testosterone. 1mgs EOD of Arimidex can usually address this
problem.
Dosage Frequency: Every Other Day (EOD)
Dosage Caution:Extended use of more than 1mgs EOD can lead to the decrease of Bone Mineral
Density, and host of other problem. It can also affect the HDL quite adversely too, especially if taken in
conjunction with Test E.

TEST SUSTANON 250:

SUST 250 is also from the same family of Testosterone. It is one of the most popular and versatile forms
of Testosterone. It is a blend of 4 different forms of Testosterone, to give its users a sustained release of
the hormone, and thus providing more stable blood levels.
Sustanon 250 is comprised of 4 different Testosterone’s
Composition of Sustanon 250:
 30mgs of Test Propionate

 60mgs of Test Phenylpropionate
 60mgs of Test Isocaproate
 100mgs of Test Decaonate.
Increased Red Blood Cell Count
AAR: 100 – 100
HALF LIFE: 8 Days

Dosage Composition:Usually 250mgs per ml
Dosage Frequency: Usually once every 8 to 10 days for Therapeutic Purposes., but not very popular
amongst HRT or TRT specialists,
Dosage Caution: More than 500Mgs Per Week, can significantly increase your Health Risks. If this
amount is taken, then it’s generally split into 2 dosages of 1ml per week.
Usage By Women: STRONGLY NOT ADVISED – CAN BE HIGHLY ANDROGENIC
Key Thing To Keep in Mind: Aromatizes, hence if the Estrogen is not managed, can easily cause
Gynecomastia and host of other issues.

 Estrogenic
Warning Signs:

TEST PROPIONATE:
Test Prop, as it’s often called, is one of the most popular Steroids on the planet. Propionate (Propionic
Acid) is the name of the Ester, and Propionate is a very fast acting Ester. This steroid comes with a single
ester, which means it’s very fast acting compound, working within hours of administering. But what this
also means is, you have to inject it frequently, because the affects of it, though very powerful, are very
short lasting. There is no difference in water retention properties between Prop, Enanthate, Cypionate
or any other form of Testosterone. It's just a myth, that Prop doesn’t cause or causes lesser water
retention.
Sustanon 250 is comprised of 4 different Testosterone’s
Composition of Test Prop:
 All Test Propionate
Use in Body Building: Typically used during Cutting Cycles.
AAR: 100 – 100
HALF LIFE: 2 to 4 Days- The reason why this varies is, because different literature says different things.
Dosage Composition: Usually 100mgs per ml.
Dosage Caution: Generally 25 to 50mg EOD – This is the typical dosage for TRT or HRT. Anything more
than this can significantly increase your Health Risks. Supraphysiological dosages are often between 100-
200mg EOD, and at these dosages, risks increase exponentially.

 Estrogenic
Warning Signs:

 Estrogenic
NOTES:

 Estrogenic
TEST SUSPENSION:
Test Suspension, is arguably one of the most powerful Steroids ever created. The reason for this is
simple, because there is no Ester attached to it, so as a result every single ml of the Steroid is pure and
usable form.Since it’s the purest form of Testosterone available, hence its suspended in water versus oil,
say for Test Enanhtate, Cyp, Prop etc.
Composition of Test Suspension: All Test Suspension
Clinical Use: EXTREMELY RARE LY Used for Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT).
Use in Body Building: Typically used during Cutting Cycles.
AAR: 100 – 100
HALF LIFE: 1 Days

Active Compound: 100mg Per 100Ml

categories:
1. Bone
2. Skeletal Muscle
3. Internal Organs
Further Characteristics: It also further promotes/supports
1. Protein Synthesis
2. Carbohydrate Metabolism
3. Lipid Oxidation
4. Mineral Metabolism
5. Growth of the Connective Tissue.
Clinical Use: To stimulate stunted growth – To treat muscle wasting – Adult GH deficiency – Anti Aging
plus host of other things.
Somatropin – What is it?: Somatropin (rhGH) is basically Synthetic Pharmaceutical HGH, which was
originally synthesized using the recombinant DNA Technology. It is biologically equivalent to the HGH
produced by the APG.
AAR Rating: NA
Androgenic: NA
Estrogenic Activity: NA
Water Retention: Low to Moderate
Risk Aromatisation: NA
Gynecomastia Risk: NA
Virilisation in Women: NA
HALF LIFE: Around 3 to 5 Hours. With baseline levels reached just after 12 to 18 hours. However, the
IGF-1 levels stay elevated upto 24 hours after the GH injection. What this means is, its affects will outlast
its actual levels in the body.
Administration Method: Subcutaneous or Intra-muscular injections. Subcutaneous as the preferred

method.
Usual Strength Or Dosage Composition:Comes in 1 digit I.U’s
Usual Packaging:It comes packaged in multi dose vials containing Lyophilized white powder that
requires reconstitution with Sterile or Bacteriostatic Water. Or it is also available in, although less
common, as a pre mixed solution, Nutropin AQ, that is biologically equivalent to reconstituted
Somatropin. Generally it comes in wide variety of packaging, from 1mg to 24mg or more per vial.
Dosage Conversion: 1mg is usually equivalent to 3 International Units (IU).
Dosage Caution: Males:Going above 6IU’s Per Day is NOT advisable, even for Body Building Purposes.
Females: 2 to 3 IU’s Per Day would be the absolute Tops. The single cycle use should not be above 24-26
weeks.
PCT Advice: Not required for this
Usage By Women: Caution is advised.
Key Thing To Keep in Mind: Because HGH is very expensive, so as a result HCG is often sold as HGH. To
check if you have got legit HGH, you would start your HGH cycle as per normal, after a week or 10 days,
you take a shot of 3 to 5 IU before bed, and when you wake up in the morning, you conduct a pregnancy
test, and if the result is positive of the test, then that means you have been sold a HCG as HGH. As a
cautionary note, the powder in the Somatropin should also be in the solid disc like. If it’s in the powder
form, then do not take it, as its most likely fake.

INSULIN:
Insulin in Body Building is arguably the single most controversial and DANGEROUS compound. Why? Put
simply, if you screw up, you can kill yourself within hours, if not minutes.
Problems With Insulin:People generally make 2 significant mistakes which can get you in serious
trouble.
Problems 1:The 1st problem with Insulin is, measuring it wrong. People have often made the mistake of
taking 5cc. 5 Units of Insulin mean, just 5 tiny clicks on the Insulin Syringe
Problems 2:The 2nd problem with Insulin is, not eating correctly or adequately after administering it.
IMPORTANT NOTE:For every 1 Unit of Insulin, you need to take 10 Grams of Fast absorbing carbs within
15 minutes of administration.
EATING AFTER ADMINISTRATION:After administering you need to have another meal within 1 hour.
This should ideally be a proper meal of Carbs, Fats and Protein.
TYPES OF INSULIN – FASTER ACTING INSULIN:

HUMULIN R:This is a Fast Acting Insulin. This can start working within 30 to 60 minutes. Peaking at
somewhere between 2 to 3 hours, and often lasting up to 7 to 10 hours. It is also very unpredictable. For
instance you could have eaten your post Insulin shot meal, but start to feel Hypo after 2/3 hours again.
Make sure you eat another carb (about 50 grams or more) protein, and fat rich meal within an hour or
so of the shot.
IF USING IT – BEST TIME TO USE IT: The best time to use it probably within half hour of training, and not
more than once a day.
HUMALOG/NOLVALOG (Same Compound, just different brand names): This is an even Faster Acting
Insulin. This can start working within 15 minutes. Peaking at somewhere between 30 Minutes to 1 hour,
and often lasting up to 4-5 hours. It is also very unpredictable. For instance you could have eaten your
post Insulin shot meal, but start to feel Hypo after 2/3 hours again.
IF USING IT – BEST TIME TO USE IT: Generally can be used multiple times a day. But not advised. Its
“comparatively” safer to Humulin R.
TYPES OF INSULIN – LONG ACTING INSULIN:
LANTUS - LEVEMIR:This is a very slow acting Insulin. There is no peaking with this type, as it lasts for
upto 24 hours. This can start working within 30 to 60 minutes. Peaking at somewhere between 2 to 3
hours, and often lasting up to 7 to 10 hours. It is also very unpredictable. For instance you could have
eaten your post Insulin shot meal, but start to feel Hypo after 2/3 hours again. Even though this is slow
acting Insulin, you still must eat good amount of carbs within 15 minutes of administering it..
IF USING IT – BEST TIME TO USE IT: These two are generally taken at night time.
WARNING SIGNS FOR HYPOGLYCEMIA OR OTHER HEALTH ISSUES:
 Feeling Sweaty
 Having Cold Sweat
 Irritable
 Light Headed
 Dizzy
 Shaky
 Thirsty
 Hungry
 NOTE: IF YOU FEEL ANY OF THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS, THEN HAVE SOME THING HIGH GI –
SUGARY CARBS STRAIGHT AWAY.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
 DO NOT RUN THE INSULIN CYCLE FOR MORE THAN 4 WEEKS AT A TIME – MAX 6 WEEKS.
 Administration is Subcutaneous.
DIURETICS
What Do Diuretics Do?:Diurectics are a class of drugs which are used to expel extra fluids from the
body. The most common use of a Diuretic in a Clinical Setting is to help alleviate Conditions like Edema
and High Blood Pressure.Contrary to the popular misconception, Diuretics are far more dangerous than
any steroids.
However in the Performance Enhancement World, these are often used for 2 main purposes:
1. To make a Weight Class – Generally used by Fighters (Boxers, MMA, Body Builders, Wrestlers
etc)
2. To drop water to achieve that dry and hard look.
Osmotic Diuretics:They eliminate everything from the kidneys and the body, water, and all minerals,
sodium and potassium, both. It doesn’t spare either. These are very strong, and act very fast. And as a
result, these are highly dangerous if one is not careful.
Potassium Sparing Diuretics: These will spare potassium but will eliminate water and salt from the
Kidneys and the body. These are generally lot milder than Osmotic Diuretics, and act slower too.
Loop Diuretics: These are generally used to treat High Blood Pressure and Edema (essentially that’s
what all diuretics are for). These are also used to flush the toxins out of the blood in the case of Blood
Poisoning. These are super fast working diuretics, often working with an hour, and are generally very
strong in nature too. These also eliminate everything from the kidneys and the body, water, and all
minerals, sodium, magnesium, chloride, potassium, calcium and all. These don’t spare anything. Not
only these diuretics, expel all the electrolytes, but they also stop the re-absorption of anything back into
the cells. These effect the electrolyte balance severely.
LASIX is the type of a Loop Diuretic, and is one of the MOST DANGEROUS ONE, AND IS EXTREMELY RISKY
TO TAKE. Since it works very fast, and is very strong, it can also kill you equally fast if one screws up.
SIDE EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE DIURESIS:

 Thickening of the Blood – This generally happens due to lowering fluids
 Renal Failure
 Severe Cramping – This happens due to severe Electrolyte Loss
 Dizziness – Often resulting in Fainting often
 Even Death – This can be the result of Severe Cramping of the Heart, Kidney Failure.
 NOTE: ALL diuretics can cause the above, but its generally the Loop Diuretics
LASIX (Furosemide):
Lasix Technical Name?: Furrosemide. Lasix is just a very popular brand name.
What is it and What Does It Do?: Lasix is a Loop Diurectic, and is one of the most powerful and most
dangerous too. The drug was originally, and still is used, designed to combat edema and High Blood
Pressure. But its equally popular amongst Body Builders who want to drop water, and come in dry and
hrd. Lasix being a Loop Diuretic, and hence doesn’t discriminate a between any kind of Electorlytes, and
will get rid of Potasium as well as Sodium. It’s a very aggressive diuretic, so one would want to be VERY
careful if they decide to use it.
FORMS:Injectable and Tablet Form. Injectable is very fast acting, and VERY DANGEROUS TOO.
SIDE EFFECTS OF LASIX:
 Low Blood Pressure

 High Blood Pressure.
 Headache
 Dry Mouth.
 Seizures
 Renal Failure
 Severe Cramping – This happens due to severe Electrolyte Loss
 Large Build Ups of Uric Acid in Blood.
 Even Death – This can be the result of Severe Cramping of the Heart, Kidney Failure.
LAW REGARDING ITS PURCHASE:It’s a Prescription only drug in most countries, which means you can’t
buy it Over The Counter or without a valid Doctor’s Prescription.
USUAL DOSAGE FOR BODY BUILDING PURPOSES:Usually you will very rarely see anyone going above
20mg every 12 to 16 hours, and never more than 2 or 3 days Max. Most people will only ever use 1 dose
of 20Mgs or maximum 2 doses of 20mgs each in a 24 hour Period, and even these are too risky.
CAUTION: If you have decided to use it, then please ensure you are not suffering from any underlying
heart conditions or Blood Pressure. Also always have it with food, and not empty stomach.
FINAL VERDICT: ITS FAR TOO RISKY – AND DANGEROUS – BEST STEER CLEAR OF IT AND NOT RISK
YOUR HEALTH OR EVEN LIFE.
ALDACTONE:
Aldactone Technical Name: Spironolactone. Aldactone is just a very popular brand name. It is also
commonly referred to as a Potassium Sparing Diuretic.
What is it and What Does It Do?: Aldactoneis an Aldasterone antagonist and aDiurectic, and is one of
the most popular ones in the Bodybuilding world, due to its Potassium sparing trait.. The drug was
originally, and still is used, designed to combat edema and High Blood Pressure. But it’s equally popular
amongst Body Builders who want to drop water, and come in dry and hard. Aldactone will expel water
and sodium from your body, but will spare Potassium, making it far less dangerous than a loop diuretic
like Lasix.

SUPPLEMENTS THAT DON’T WORK OR AS

WELL AS CLAIMED:
GLUTAMINE:
Glutamine is an amino acid that plays an important role in muscle cells. Glutamine is very important in
keeping the cells “alive”, and even increase Muscle Protein Synthesis, when administered directly into
the cells. But here’s the Key point to remember, when it is “directly administered to the cells”. The
problem with “ingesting” Glutamine to get to the cells to increase the Muscle Protein Synthesis is,
after ingestion, glutamine does not reach the muscle cells. Instead, it’s taken up by the intestines and
liver, which releases glutamine to other tissues in the body on an as-needed basis.
However glutamine supplementation will benefit the digestive system and liver, and therefore is a
good supplement to add to aid a healthy digestive system.
BEST USED FOR: To improve the Digestive Health, and Liver Health.
NOT RECEOMMENDED FOR: For Muscle Hypertrophy.
L- ARGININE AND L CITRULLINE:
L- Arginine is most commonly sold as to boost the Nitric Oxide. Although this is true of Arginine in a Lab
Setting, but it’s not after it’s been ingested by humans. It fails to raise the levels of NO in the body after
ingesting. Arginine is broken down in the body, and therefore it fails to raise NO levels.
And with L- Citrulline, it’s supposed to be converted into L-Arginine to raise the NO Levels. However the
problem is, this
BEST USED FOR: There is evidence to suggest that supplementing with L-Citrulline can boost the Nitrates
in your body, the compound that gets converted into Nitric Oxide. Nirates are a compound found in
green leafy vegetables and beetroot, which get converted into Nitrites .There could be a potential use to
Supplement with L-Citruline for people who don’t eat enough green vegetables. However to take L-
Citrulline to directly boost NO Levels in the body is unproven.
CAUTION: If you are supplementing with Yohimbine, then you should avoid taking taking any NO
boosting supplements, as these will counteract the benefits of Yohimbine.
TESTOSTERONE BOOSTERS:
The actual evidence to support the claim that Test Boosters increase your Testosterone is very poor.
Testosterone Boosters like Tribulus, Maca, Fenugreek do almost nothing worth the money to boost your
Testosterone, hence your performance in the gym or cause Hypertrophy. However it’s not to say, they
don’t have their place in your supplement stack. They have been shown to increase your libido. So, if
you are looking for something to help your sex life in the bed room, then by all means add them in your
regime.
BEST USED FOR: Toboost your libido.
NOT RECEOMMENDED FOR: For Muscle Hypertrophy or to increase your Testosterone.
CAUTION: None.
CARNITINE:
Carnitine as has been sold as Fat Loss supplement for a very long time. However the evidence to support
its efficacy to work as a Fat Loss Supplement is quite contrary to the way its marketed and sold.
Carnitine is essential to the fat burning process, it transports fat into the mitochondria (the little furnace
in every cell) to be oxidized or ―burnt to provide an important source of energy. However the research
has also repeatedly demonstrated, that taking extra Carnitine in the form of Supplementation does not
burn more fat for fuel. Reason for this is, healthy adults are extremely deficient in Carnitine, and the
body recycles it extremely well. Almost 99% of the Carnitine is reabsorbed by the kidneys. However
there is evidence to show that L-Carnitine supplementation can boost cognition and concentration
during training.
BEST USED FOR: To boost Cognition and Concentration during workouts.
NOT RECEOMMENDED FOR: For Fat Loss
CAUTION: None
SUPPLEMENTS FOR FAT LOSS THAT WORK:
CAFFEINE:
Research has shown Caffeine to be a potent fat burner. Caffeine effects fat loss via 2 main ways.
1. It’s been shown to have a potent Thermogenic effect, which means it increases heat production.
2. Continuous Caffeine consumption has also been shown to have a Lipolytic effect, which means
caffeine causes triglycerides to release fatty acids, which can then be used for fuel by the body.
BEST USED FOR: Fat Loss. Upto 400mgs is all you will ever need. Best taken before a workout or cardio.
NOT RECEOMMENDED FOR: Hypertrophy
CAUTION: If taken late during the day, it can cause trouble falling asleep
YOHIMBINE: Research has shown Yohimbine to be a very effective fat loss supplement, especially even
for fit and athletic population. It has also been shown to be quite effective in targeting the often
stubborn fat loss areas of stomach, around the love handles and obliques, since these areas seem to
have higher receptors for Yohimbine’s effectiveness. Yohimbine has also been shown to have potential
benefits in raising libido and enhanced sexual performance.
BEST USED FOR: Fat Loss.
RECOMMENDED DOSE: 2.5 to 7.5 mgs – Twice a Day, generally before a weights session or a cardio
session. Another way to calculate Yohimbine dosage is to take 0.4 to 0.6 mgs per kilo of bodyweight.
CAUTION: Shouldn’t be taken if one is on anti-depressants or suffers from anxiety. As far as the dosage
goes, the dosage shouldn’t exceed more than 15mgs per day, tops 20mgs per day. Not to be relied on in
cases of Chronic ED (Erectile Dysfunction).
5-HTP: 5-HTP has been shown to boost Sertonin production, which in turn has been shown to help curb
carb cravings. It has been shown to be an effective fat loss supplement, especially amongst overweight
and obese people, although its efficacy amongst lean people is still open for debate. It has been shown
to reduce appetite when taken with, or just before a carb rich meal.
BEST USED FOR: Fat Loss.
RECOMMENDED DOSE: About 500 mgs a day, split in 2 doses with or just before a meal.
CAUTION: Shouldn’t be taken if one is on anti-depressants, anti psychotic drugs or suffers from anxiety.
