The Deal on Frontloading We know when we run an injectable steroids cycle with long esters (testosterone Enanthate, Cypionate, Deca Durabolin, Boldenone, Primobolan) we should have to wait 3 to 6 weeks to get a the called "kick", meaning a full peak of the compound's activity, in order to reach the maximum anabolic state and keep it until the end of the cycle
Frontloading Explained There is a lot of scrutiny regarding proper anabolic-androgenic steroid cycle structure for maximal muscle gains with minimal risks. Front loading is one practice gaining attention in the bodybuilding community. This process immediately elevates blood androgen levels. Front loading omits the customary delay of obtaining peak and stable blood levels by increasing the cycle’s front-end use.

Setting the stage for contest Dieting Most people are unsure how to prepare for their contest diet (i.e.-losing body fat whilst retaining as much muscle as possible). What I have found increasingly common is the amount of people who do not have a consistent off-season diet.
Contest dieting revisited The first thing that you have to assess is have you done enough in the off-season and how have you performed. This means have you been consistent with your training and eating. I am a great believer in that you must train hard and smart. The most important issue then is to back it up with a sound nutritional plan.
Bodybuilding Contest Preparation The key to healthy and intelligent contest preparation is to balance diet and training. Firstly, try not to carry more than 15-20 lbs. above your contest weight during the off season.
The Final Touch in Pre-contest Preparation Carb deplete - carb load - you don't have to go to zero carbs like many of the muscle heads do, that is just an example of an extremist approach. If you cut back carb intake by 50% for 3-4 days while training (replace carbs with protein and fat calories, I would say for most fat is a better option). then double carb intake for three days before a show.
Contest prep Diet and supplement Schedule If you're preparing for a fitness show, your diet and supplement schedule need to be set at least 12-14 weeks before the show. People vary depending on their body types, weight that needs to be lost, muscle that needs to be gained, and/or their metabolism

HCG FAQ How does HCG work?- HCG mimics LH (leutenizing hormone). The presence of LH causes the Leydig cells in the gonads to produce testosterone . This effect also restores the size of the testes rather quickly if they were suppressed from a cycle.
HCG - Unraveled Many great PCT protocols have been outlined over the years, and many individuals have had success with following such protocols. Nevertheless, what works can always work better, and I intend to show you the most effective way to recover from AAS.
Post-cycle recovery I advise my AAS patients to use small amounts of HCG (250IU to 500IU) two days each week, right from the beginning of the cycle. This serves to maintain testicular form and function. It makes more sense to me to keep the horse in the barn, so to speak, then to have to chase it across three counties later on

Steroid Powder Calculator For creating your powder experiments.
Anti-Estrogen products Estrogen is also a steroid hormone, although not used for athletic enhancement. However, estrogen plays a key role in the use of AAS. Certain steroids, at high enough dosages, can convert via the enzyme aromatase into other hormones; in the case of testosterone-based steroids this other hormone is usually estrogen. Steroids with a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) base are not subject to aromatization; as a metabolite of testosterone its structure is not affected by the aromatase. Steroids with 17-alkylated structures generally convert into weaker estrogens. Some steroids, such as nandrolone (deca-durabolin) or trenbolone convert into progesterone.
SERM Aromatise Inhibitor Basics Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) Compounds that bind with estrogen receptors and exhibit estrogen action in some tissues and anti-estrogen action in other tissues. The ideal SERM would deliver all the benefits of estrogen without the adverse effects.
