Common knowledge of anabolic steroids
1. What is steroid?
The anabolic steroids we often talk about are derivatives of male hormones, which stimulate the growth of skeletal muscle and increase absolute strength,
2. Are steroids really that magical?
Although you can’t become Ronnie with a few cycles, steroids can really improve you a lot, and during the cycle, you can say that you can make a change every week. Even if you just practice casually, as long as you don’t miss meals, you can also grow fast and have no fat. However, if you can’t do hard training and reasonable diet, after passing through the rapid growth period of the first few cycles, your level will stagnate.
3. Does steroid affect sexual ability?
The increase in testosterone levels can improve your sexual ability. However, some derivatives do have side effects in this regard, such as the necessary use of Dianabol. This is mainly related to its progestogen properties. However, a scientific drug plan will not affect your sexual ability, and the correct PCT recovery will allow you to return to normal after the cycle is over.
4. Are the side effects of steroids serious?
There are definitely side effects, after all, it’s a drug. However, if used correctly for a short period of time, it will not cause irreversible harm to the body. You will find that those who claim various terrible side effects of steroids online have almost the same tone. Because most of them are hearsay and have not been exposed to drugs. Without investigation and research, they have no right to speak.
5. How old is it and how long can it be used for training?
Anyone over 20 years old with some training foundation can use it.
The appearance of plateau period is due to limitations in your training and diet. Steroids can make you grow more significantly when both of them do not change. If you feel that your training and diet have a certain foundation and the room for improvement in both is limited, then you can do C.
Why do athletes use steroids?
The main reason is that it can improve the level of some people in sports competitions. Among competitive bodybuilders, the use of steroids is very high! Abuse of steroids in other competitive events is also common.
Another major reason is that steroids can increase muscle circumference or reduce body fat. This mainly refers to people with behavioral disorders. They have a very distorted understanding of their own bodies. Men may think that they are too thin, even if their physique is already well-developed; women may think that they are too fat, even if they are already slim and attractive.
6. Where to inject steroids?
The gluteus maximus muscle is the preferred injection site because it is a large, deep muscle. The gluteus maximus has a large amount of muscle mass, which allows for better absorption of the drug. This is a good choice for beginners who are using steroids. The deltoid muscle center and fascia of the shoulder are the safest injection sites, as they avoid blood vessels. The outer thigh can also be used as an injection site.
7. Does steroid affect fertility?
During the use of steroids, it is not recommended to have children. The suppression of the gonadal axis by drugs and the chemical properties of exogenous testosterone can cause a certain degree of sperm malformation and a decrease in sperm survival rate. However, after a complete PCT, the body can recover. Most drugs can be completely metabolized within 6 months (with no residue in the body). Even the longest metabolic cycle of Deca, after 18 months, no traces of use can be detected.
8. What is pct?
PCT has also become a post-cycle therapy that uses drugs to try to help restore the user’s natural testosterone production, so that we can reduce the cycle of catabolic states and help maintain the cycle benefits. When the drug is out of state, it is safer to use drugs to restore it, which will retain more of the results of the entire plan.
9. Do the top cyclists take a particularly large dose?
Is it really as terrifying as 3,000 to 4,000 mg per week? Not really. The reason why a “master” is a “master” is mostly because they are more sensitive to steroids than ordinary people, not because of the amount of dosage. Therefore, the natural testosterone levels of excellent bodybuilders are generally lower than ordinary people.
Anabolic drugs and sports supplements are like an engine and gasoline, and there is no relationship of mutual substitution between them. Therefore, questions such as “Is it necessary to use supplements during Cycle when using such strong drugs?” are not well understood. Only certain supplements that protect muscles from protein loss can be exempted during Cycle.
10. Is it necessary to withdraw the solution before injecting?
Yes, if you don’t believe me, go download a book like the Nurse’s Manual and see the standard injection steps. “Intramuscular injections must not have blood return, and intravenous injections must have blood return before the drug can be pushed.” Common injection sites such as the buttocks, thighs, deltoids, etc. do not have major blood vessels, so the probability of problems is small, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
11 .When should I start using anabolic drugs?
When is the most appropriate time to take medication? “Several friends have asked me similar questions, and they always feel that this question is very complicated and must be linked to training level, age, and so on. In fact, it can be said very simply that you yourself know the best time. That is, when your own efforts cannot make further progress and you cannot achieve the predetermined goal, then it is time to seek external assistance.
Using natural means to “safely increase your own hormone levels” is a common idealistic idea in the fitness community. It sounds good, but it’s actually very wrong. It can be said that the only “safe way to increase your own hormone levels” is exercise. Using the body’s natural compensatory mechanism, overconsuming energy substances in the body and damaging the muscle system, the human body urgently needs more hormones to repay and repair, and then the body naturally increases hormone secretion.
12. Will there be a significant loss of muscle mass after the cycle is over
A standardized cycle must begin with a physical examination to understand your gonadal axis stress resistance index, and a sufficient amount of PCT recovery drugs should be administered to restore testosterone
Secretion can ensure that the muscle-building results of Cycle are maintained, otherwise Cycle will soon return to the pre-liberation state [Follow-up question: After recovery, the testicular
Ketone levels are also far lower than in Cycle, can you maintain the increased muscle mass? Hormone levels are abnormal to grow muscle, but maintain muscle
It doesn’t have to be that high, just like driving a car, starting takes oil.
CYCLE, what should be paid attention to after drug withdrawal
The first thing to do is to resist estrogen. Generally, preparations should be made in the weeks before the end of the cycle. Those who have already started resisting estrogen can continue to do so. Taking 20mg of tamoxifen and 25mg of testosterone daily can generally prevent estrogen flooding. Testosterone can greatly reduce the possible estrogen rebound after drug withdrawal.
The second is to inject HCG according to the half-life of the last injection after stopping the medication. Generally, if there is no acne gene, customers can choose to inject 5000iu five times every three days or inject 2000iu seven times every other day. Customers with a history of acne should choose to inject 1000iu or 500iu every day for ten consecutive injections. Then, after three injections, start using clomiphene, which should be used continuously for three weeks.
After stopping the last injection of steroids, you can start using clenbuterol, which has good anti-decomposition ability and can block cortisol, so that athletes can retain most of the strength and muscle gained during the cycle after stopping the medication. Keep using it for 8 to 10 weeks.
The fourth growth hormone is also the most reliable choice for anti-decomposition and anabolism during drug withdrawal.
Fifth, reduce calorie intake. It is necessary to reduce the total daily calorie intake, otherwise it will only increase annoying fat and reduce the range by about 20% to 30%.
Finally, self-discipline and ambition are crucial. Success can be achieved through continuous improvement, just like PCT. Don’t expect to use drugs throughout the year. Properly stopping C is a good foundation for future success.
Training details that are easily overlooked during steroid cycle
During the movement, the agonist muscle overcomes resistance (weight) to perform concentric contraction and do positive work, which is active contraction. On the contrary, the agonist muscle overcomes resistance (weight) to perform eccentric contraction and do negative work. Positive work training and negative work training are an integral whole. That is to say, concentric contraction and eccentric contraction of the target muscle are equally important. During the entire movement process, if you pay attention to negative work training, the effect of negative work training will be better than that of positive work training.
Recent research data shows that doing eccentric contraction can generate 1.75 times more force than concentric contraction. eccentric contraction can cause delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and focusing on eccentric contraction training can provide stronger stimulation to the motor nervous system, resulting in increased muscle circumference and muscle strength, as well as increased muscle tension and elasticity, and stronger tendons. For example, during barbell curls, the biceps muscle should contract (positive work) and return (negative work).
Without talent, hard work will also bear fruit
When you stretch and return to the original position, the stimulation to the muscle tissue is weakened, and the negative work is relatively reduced. However, when you consciously concentrate on controlling the weight and overcome the inertia of the body to stretch and return to the original position, the active muscles mobilize the muscle fibers in the muscle tissue to participate in the work force (i.e., the number of motor units increases).
This subconscious work against resistance stimulates the motor nervous system more strongly, and this negative work exercise method is more effective than positive work exercise methods. In layman’s terms, during the entire exercise process, the difficulty and intensity of slowly controlling the weight to overcome resistance and do negative work are greater than actively lifting the weight, so negative work training is more effective.
