Over the last ten years I have come across a wide variety of training programs that work tremendously well for increasing strength and adding on tons of muscle. For example, Randall Strossum’s “Super Squats” program is very effective if you can handle the nausea and brutality of the program. Legendary bodybuilder Reg Park loved the 5x5 program that thousands of bodybuilders have used to pack on size. Top strength coach Charles Poliquin brought the extremely effective “German Volume Training” program to the mainstream and many bodybuilders have used the program effectively to pack on some size. Regardless, to be the best bodybuilder that you can be and to continue on the path to massive gains in size and strength, you have to think outside the box and sometimes unlearn what you have learned. For example, does one rep always ...

When it comes to building muscle, there are going to be some rules that always apply universally. Your body uses the amino acids in protein to build new muscle. Your body uses carbohydrates for energy. Your body uses fats for many body functions. Too many of any of these macronutrients leads to body fat gains, and too few of any leads to a lack of performance or muscle loss. However, when anabolic steroids are tossed into the mix, everything changes. Standard bodybuilding nutrition tenets still apply, but the potential for gains skyrockets. Let’s look at a few of the differences between what should be on your plate during, and after, a steroid cycle. On-Cycle Now is the time to embrace diet like never before. Steroids bump up your red blood cell count and increase your ...

Bringing out the definition below the waist is much harder than above the waist. For most guys, making the veins pop out of the arms and chest comes with just a few weeks of dieting and a high rep workout. The abs come out a few weeks later as the fat disappears and cardio can last 30 to 45 minutes per day. The legs, however, often take much longer to develop those cuts and rivets that are so sought after by bodybuilders. In a show where most body parts are equal and conditioning is similar, it will be the man with the most thigh cuts that is the most impressive to fans, and often to the judges as well. Bringing your legs to the point where the cuts are highly visible is imperative for winning. ...

A little rage can be a very good thing. When you have just failed on a bench press attempt in front of a crowd of disappointed onlookers, you’re angry. And when you get under the bar the next time, you somehow find that extra 5% you were lacking on your last attempt, and you move that bar up. When you were just defeated onstage by a man with poorer conditioning, weaker legs and arms, and a terrible posing routine with only a slightly better back, your anger-fueled workouts come back day are going to lead to some significant improvements in this muscle group. Rage is a heck of a good motivator. When used properly, anger can help us to come much closer to our potential. Men are already much more aggressive than women. Rage, or the inability to ...

Many scientists are concerned that many bodybuilders are facing a real threat entering into the world of steroid abuse. The main reason why every bodybuilder has some intrinsic attraction to these substances is that they are dissatisfied with their progress. The truth of the matter is that the craving has less to do with bodybuilding results and more to do with body image which in many bodybuilders happens never to be good enough. There are many reasons why this is the case. For one, many bodybuilders have eating disorders. They either east too much and they are therefore struggling with weight problems or they eat too little and rarely have enough energy to complete a bodybuilding routine. Eating disorders occur 10 times more in men than in women. A major driving force for these disorders is a feeling of lack of ...

This is a truthful account, balanced and very objective. Anabolic steroid substances are dangerous, very dangerous. The poison the body gradually until the body is a mere frame. They are addictive to the level that soon enough the body cannot function without them. Bodybuilding is a process of inculcating strength, fitness, proportion and physique definition into the body. This is a process of positive development, a process of building and making the body better able to handle life’s demands. But when that process becomes negative, whatever success we may achieve is thereby deemed null. And that is what anabolic steroids do to the body. They add on m any side effects such that although the body bulks up faster and muscular strength is tippled at the very least, such gains are still null since we have destroyed the health of the body ...

Saturated fats have three main and different types of acids. The first of these acids constituted in the saturated fats is lauric acid. The lauric acid is very beneficial to your health contrary to what the bodybuilding and health literature has told you against saturated fats, as well. Not only does the lauric acid increase the HDL levels (good cholesterol, that is) to a significant amount, but it is also a rare type immune booster necessary in the prevention of most diseases. Lauric acid has some components nutrients that most body builder’s diet lack. Research has authenticated that lauric acid has only positive contributions to the diet, and none that can trigger heart malfunction. Contemporary HIV/Aids research studies have actually gone as far as attributing success to the immune systems of patients if there are considerable amounts of lauric acid. Lauric ...

The off-season is where champion physiques are built. Sure, the pre-contest phase is important. You will need to have the best possible presentation of the muscles you have built, and diet and cardio do that. But the most gains you will make each year take place in those months where you run a decent cycle, add some food, and train like mad. Here are some specifics for off-season bulking success for the non-natural bodybuilder. AAS Typically, an off-season steroid stack is going to be stronger and more potent (read: toxic) than what you use during your pre-contest phase. Start with a testosterone base (any ester will suffice) for 400 to 600 mg per week. You can supplement with 400 mg Nandrolone, and perhaps a small run of Dianabol for the first three weeks to facilitate growth from ...
