Welcome to the steroids podcast with your voice Dan the bodybuilder sometime. The steroids podcast is brought to you by Ultimate Guide to roids 109 page ebook by Dan the bodybuilder from Thailand now for the first time in bodybuilding history, you have someone with no corporate interests and no obligation to please anyone not walking on eggshells to not offend. Ultimate God towards gives you the information the whole information the whole truth not a full truth and a half Truth full truth. Ultimate Guide to roids gives you the keys to the Lamborghini gives you the information and lets you decide what to do with it. It's a crime this information has been suppressed this long now, let's get on with the podcast. All right, welcome back to another episode of the steroids podcast before we get to the questions today. I want to discuss one thing and that is performance enhancing drugs and diet because I've had a lot of questions from a lot of different individuals about this. So the main thing that I have to say is that performance-enhancing drugs make all the food that you eat work better in your body for what you wanted to do repair and Recovery repairing everything in your body recovering everything in your body strengthening your body steroids make the food that you eat do that process better. Okay. It's called nutrient partitioning. It moves more of the fuel that you eat away from fat storage and towards rebuilding and repairing. Pairing tissue. Okay. The other thing is that carbohydrates are a lot more important on performance-enhancing drugs than not on performance-enhancing drugs. Okay, so growth hormone metformin insulin steroids anabolic steroids testosterone Etc. They all increase muscle insulin sensitivity. Okay. Insulin is a transport molecule in order for in order to generally for stuff from your blood to get into your cells. There has to be insulin signal. Okay, especially the muscle and fat cells when that insulin signal the insulin signal is the molecule of insulin being released from your pancreas when that's in your blood that will then touch and attach to insulin receptors on cells and when those insulin receptors on cells get stimulated then the cells open up and it allows the inflow of nutrients from the bloodstream into the cells of the body. body, especially the fat in the muscle cells, so With taken performance-enhancing drugs and steroids. They all increase the muscle cells specifically the muscle cell. Okay, not the other cells of the body not the fat cells, but the muscle cells they increase the sensitivity of the muscle cells to that hormone insulin. So when you eat carbs and then insulin gets released from your pancreas when that insulin gets interacts with the muscle cells that Mo's muscle cells have a lower threshold. For needing insulin before they will let in nutrients from the bloodstream then all the other cells in the body. So what you get is you get your muscle cells hoarding you get them hoarding the nutrients from the food that you eat that is in your bloodstream that's called nutrient partitioning. It preferentially goes to the muscle cells. And so this process Gets its like an exponential process process when you add the steroids and the carbohydrates together which then produces the insulin in your body and then you have this increased muscle insulin sensitivity. So then more of the food that you eat goes into those muscle cells the the nutrients from them and those muscle cells can start taking those nutrients from the bloodstream at lower levels of insulin, even than other cells like fat cells, so that's Way that like people do recomposition and stuff on on steroids and you know eating carbs really make steroids work really good. Okay, if you don't eat a lot of carbs, then plainly your steroids just don't really work. You know that great. They work they work they work. Okay, but it's not like a it's it's a different experience when you're getting a heart High carbohydrate diet on performance-enhancing drugs, then when you're doing it. Natural it's just a different experience or if you're on steroids and eating carbs and on steroids and not eating carbs. The person who is on steroids and eating carbs will have a completely different and more explosive gains and having everything go the way that they wanted to the person on carbs on roids more than the person not on carbs on roids. Go carbs make a huge difference. And if you're on a low carb diet and you know, you're new to steroids or something. Well, if you increase your carbs because you're having a lackluster experience on your cycle or something. If you just increase your carbs, it's like throwing fire on the gasoline. Okay, so if you've got something going on and things are, you know going you making some gains, but you're not eating carbs, you know in your on that gear now you throw in some carbs and you're like throwing gasoline all over. Over the fire and things start going really really good. So carbs are much more important on anabolic steroids, then not on anabolic steroids the main difference in diet between Naturals and people on roids is that Naturals generally need less carbohydrates and people on roids generally the more carbohydrates. They eat the bigger and stronger they get and there's almost no limit to that. It's The more you eat the bigger and stronger you get and that's that like as much as you can fit in your mouth. That's that seems to be the way it works. You know, it's very very powerful stuff very powerful stuff. Alright, first question of the day is from Arnold and he says my biceps aren't growing I taking steroids since two years. Ears, but biceps aren't grow yet. What should I do suggest me something, please? Okay, the king of all bicep exercises is the preacher curl. Okay any anything where you support the humerus the part of your arm where the tricep and bicep is you support that in front of you on a bench and then you have your arms lowering on that on the angle there. You have them lowering and raising on that on that platform that you're resting like your elbow area on preacher curl. It's also called a Scott curl Larry Scott curl because mr. Olympia the first mr. Olympia ever Larry Scott, he invented doing this putting that bench with the angle in front of you called a preacher curl and you do the preacher curls. Okay, so do dumbbell curls do barbell curls do any kind of curls. Just be all over that preacher bench. That's where it builds that middle part of the bicep. That's the best bet biceps exercises to do that and gain weight definitely gain weight because that's going to be something you're going to need to do. If you want to build up your arms. Okay. The next question is from Vincent who is worried about metformin and crashing his blood sugar. So that was pretty much his question was wanting to have that explained so metformin doesn't give you hypoglycemia, and it certainly doesn't give you hypoglycemia in the That something like insulin would okay. So I'm not a medical doctor and this is not medical advice. This is just me having a conversation with you. Okay, so the metformin, you know, even though it does sensitize you to insulin and you know, it helps keep blood sugar in diabetics down with with people who are not on you know, they're not having raise blood sugar. They just have regular blood sugar levels. It doesn't like put your blood pressure down. It doesn't it doesn't Make you go hypoglycemic and symptoms of hypoglycemia or like feeling desperate or frantic for food and like maybe sweating a little bit or having chills and kind of like shaking feeling shaky and weak and having and maybe sweating a bit. Those are symptoms of hypoglycemia. And then somebody who like injected themselves with insulin, you know, they can like overdose on insulin and then go into hypoglycemic shock where you know, hypoglycemia is where you have that low blood sugar. And so then you know your Don't have anything to doesn't have energy, you know, and it needs energy 20, you know 24 hours a day, it can store energy. So that's when people they you know, they pass out and they go into shock and you know, there's been you know, people die from that every year people die from that every year in America and Europe everywhere in the world. So that's you know, the danger of its insulin use in general but metformin it doesn't do that metformin it what it's used for is that it specifically desensitizes the muscles to insulin but not the fat it also reduces the amount of fat and carbs that you absorb from your food by 30% each. So it like you can eat the same amount of food, but absorb less calories from it. It's sort of a way for the body to let you eat some junk food or like kind of a cheat way to like eat some junk food, but, you know, just poop it out. P it out because it kind of like goes right through you or at least a portion of it goes right through you you absorb less of the calories from the food that you eat with metformin but it doesn't crash your blood sugar. It does sensitize your your muscles to insulin, but you won't get crashed blood sugar from metformin usually people take Metformin at 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams per day and you know, really it. It doesn't do any any hypoglycemia or crashing of your blood sugar in my experience. It stabilizes my blood sugar. Actually, I feel less of I feel less like, you know highs and lows if I eat sugar or if I eat, you know, a lot of bread or something like that. I feel less highs and lows in energy on Metformin than not on Metformin. It has an ability to put your body into ketosis quickly. So that your body produces it makes it so that your liver wants to produce less glucose in your blood and burn fat as an energy source. It's a nutrient partitioning agent. So that's metformin usually taken at a thousand 2000 milligrams per day. It works good in Synergy with human growth hormone as a substitute for injectable insulin and for keeping your blood sugar levels good. Okay, the next question is from rodrigue and he says question for your podcast. If you have some water retention because of Dianabol in testosterone, should you reduce carbs and increase Arimidex or eczema sting. Yeah. Mainly increase the romantics or XMS dang, you know that's totally individual. Each person is going to have a different amount of eczema staying that they need but or Arimidex but a general starting point is two or three tablets per week. And then you know, if you have a system if you have symptoms then taken more or less if you're still having estrogen symptoms than taking on another tablet each week, and if You're having if you're not having them and you're if you're feeling tired because it taken it or like a poor appetite because it taken it then take less of the anti-estrogen that's kind of the way to get a little feel for that. Okay, and then yes, because water retention from your Dianabol and testosterone and yeah the carbs. Yeah, they do reduce water retention. But you know, you want to be eating carbs when you're on Dianabol and testosterone because you want to have the muscle and strength and size effects that that can build for you. So I would not reduce the carbs. I would just lower my estrogen if you're still feeling ridiculously bloated then yeah. Reducing the carbs will help you to be less bloated. Next question is from heed E85 Dan. What's your thoughts on why when I'm on a tear T does or even up to 500 milligrams per week? I always go hypoglycemic. It sucks when it happens. I get crazy sick. Like I'm going to pass out and have to eat a bunch of sugary food to feel better. Yeah. That's the when we're talking about nutrient partitioning at the beginning of this episode. That's that happening. So the since the Any kind of steroids or testosterone or tea or tea or whatever since its sensitizes your muscle cells to the effects of insulin. It makes it so that the muscle cells are so sensitive to insulin that it's and and the effects of it that you know, there's kind of stealing out any of the blood sugar from your blood your muscles are, you know, very easily able to take blood sugar out of the blood and when they're doing that this is this is for everybody who takes hormones would take steroids, you know when they're doing That they all are going to have more of a propensity to feel hypoglycemic or having low blood sugar. Okay. The next question is from Johnson. He asks, how long does it normally take how many months to lose all gains benefits of one steroids cycle provided you did the correct PCT using HCG Clomid Etc. Like six months a year two years. Okay, so some of Of the gains will kind of stick around for longer than others generally like as soon as you go off and you do PCT, like generally you don't just stay at the same level that you were when your on gear generally you start like going backwards pretty much immediately. But this effect is stronger. The bigger you are like the bigger you got on roids and the more roids that you needed to get there. Well, then if you go off, you know and you PCT or something, then the faster you will get smaller and lose those gains. But if you didn't really make make a lot of gains on Woods or just you know, like some moderate gains some light roid use it sticks around for longer, you know, pretty much at around three months at about three months off. That's when you start noticing like well, I'm definitely looking different now. Once you hit about that 12-week threshold, if you're if you do PCT and you've been off gear now for around three months, you'll start seeing and I'm talking about nothing because a lot of guys when they say like I'm off they're really on something. Sometimes they're even on like 750 milligrams of test a week man. People are crazy like the stuff that a lot of body builders are not honest. So a lot of guys say that they're often it's not True. Okay, but if you're actually off and I mean you are taking zero hormones, you know, like you did your PCT and now you're not taking any hormones, you're not taking any oral. You're not taking any injectable. You're not taking any hormones. Okay, that's what that means to be off in this case in this question that we're talking about right now. All right. So all you Joker's that go off. I'm talking to you, buddy. so if you if you go off for more than three months, you're going to start feeling like you're changing and then at like six months or one year off like that's going to be a big difference. You're going to be going back towards more like what you were looking like when you're a natural, you know, like if you're off for like a whole year you're going to be moving pretty close to that. But you know, some of the gains just never go away like you always be a little bit bigger than you were naturally like if you go to the And train like a bit but it won't generally when you go off roids, you start moving back towards what you look like natural and three months after you start seeing like okay, there's a difference now here this difference is definitely a difference and then between like one to two years being completely off is some time when you'd be like if you stop training and everything or if you did keep training if you stopped raining, then you'd you know, after a year or two, you'd be looking pretty much like you did, you know. Natural but if you kept training, you know, you'd probably look a little bigger, you know, a little bigger more developed than you would natural but you'd still be back in that spectrum of after a couple years off one or two years off of Roads, you'd be back in that spectrum of people definitely wouldn't like assume you're on gear the moment. They saw you or anything like that you'd be more back in that natural Spectrum again. Okay, next question candy ball suppress thyroid function low T3 is showing on my blood work. Yeah, all steroids suppressed thyroid function a little bit. It's some people more than others. So people will have generally a little bit lower thyroid hormone levels in General on on roids everybody. But some people are more affected by this than others. So one thing that people do is they will take tea for thyroid hormone, which is in active thyroid hormone to speed their metabolism back up by having a the thyroid hormones again, so your body converts as to convert as a prohormone T4 to T3 a The thyroid hormone in your body. So it's definitely not as harsh as T3 thyroid hormone. T3. Thyroid hormone is a really sucky bodybuilding chemical because it's super catabolic and even if you're on like really strong gear if you're like making gains and like gaining strength and gain size in the gym. And then you start taking like 50 micrograms of T3 per day. Like those games will stop if you don't change something like it can it really has as a huge effect and can like overpower your gear. So that's why T3 is like not a good bodybuilding chemical T4 is much less harsh and usually people will take that at something between like a hundred micrograms to 200 micrograms per day of t for the prohormone that converts in your body to T3. It's just less harsh. So it doesn't have those as such Extreme Performance not enhancing effects as T3 has But one thing about the lowered thyroid the Lord to three levels is that that's one of the mechanisms by which steroids help you gain weight. So the thyroid speeds up the metabolic process of all the cells in your body. So if you have more thyroid hormone, like every cell in your body is then working quicker working faster and using more nutrients like at a quicker rate. So you're speeding up the right. Of your entire body's process when you use the thyroid hormone, and if you lower the thyroid the thyroid hormone levels, you know, which is natural when you take testosterone or other steroids. It's natural for your thyroid hormone T3 levels to go down a bit. That's one of the mechanisms by which steroids cause weight gain that's a clinical effects of steroids. Just that when people take them they gain weight and this is one of the ways in which they function to do that so, you know combined with the you know, steroids increasing muscle cell insulin sensitivity and then also lowering thyroid levels. That's one of the reasons why guys who are like really naturally skinny and can't gain weight. They usually like quickly blow up or like can gain weight on this on once they get on roids because that muscle cell insulin sensitivity threat is is a so high the threshold for their muscles to hold onto energy is now lower. So more of the food that they can eat that they eat can get put into the muscles. And then the other thing is that they have a lower thyroid level. So a lot of guys they're naturally skinny, you know, they have fast I roids that are releasing a lot of thyroid hormone. And so when they take the roids then you know that thyroid hormone gets lowered and there they don't need as much food anymore to maintain their weight and so boom now they start gaining weight, even if they keep the same diet, but they start getting on the roids start gaining weight. So that's how that works. Next question is from Thanos. He's asking hair friendly steroids arms and general tips to replicate the high DHT hardening effects of compounds like Master on yeah, so guys who have hair loss in their genetics. So if you have hair loss and you genetics then steroids will make you go bald and what hair loss means is it doesn't mean like, you know, you went through puberty and now you have like a hairline that's like on the top of your head. It's not down your forehead. That's not what hairless genetics means are less genetics means when like you've got like, you know actively like moving back parts of your hair like from year to year. You know, you've noticed that your hair has continually, you know the line change. Okay, that's how hair loss genetics are. Sometimes guys don't go bald either until they're like way older and they don't show hair loss genetics, but usually usually guys start showing, you know, when they're around like 20 years old or so, they start showing some kind of signs of that. So what hair loss is caused by is by dihydrotestosterone the metabolites or a product of testosterone. It's a attaches The receptors in the skin and the hair follicle and the scalp and those Have the genetics for this when those dihydrotestosterone molecules come and attach to those Androgen receptors in your scalp at a sufficient amount. It's a programmed death in the hair follicle in your scalp. And so then the the cell dies and it's dead so it no longer produces hair. And so that's how if you have the genetics for the to make that happen that's called the male pattern baldness Gene. Then you go bald, you know when you start taking Ian like testosterone and you know, like strong roids that can then go into effect in touch that hair. Okay, but if you don't have that in your genetics then steroids don't affect your hair at all. So guys like mr. Olympia Jay Cutler Arnold Schwarzenegger. Tom Platts me Dan the bodybuilder in Thailand. We don't have hair loss in our genetics. We're not going to ever go bald so we can take any amount of steroids and it doesn't have any effect on our Are okay but for guys that do have hair loss in the genetics Ronnie Coleman. Dexter Jackson, Phil Heath, okay, those Pro bodybuilders those guys they go bald when they take roids and you know, since they've got to take a lot. There's really nothing that they can do about it. But for guys that have got that genetics the male pattern baldness Gene and they're looking to take roids and they are worried about going bald. Okay, the roids that are the best. This is the way of taking roids that The best known for keeping your hair if you have those hair loss genetics. Okay, so no injecting testosterone. They just inject deck. Okay, they run Decca. That's the only injectable that they use they don't use other injectables. They just use Deca because Deca used alone without other stuff generally doesn't kill your sex drive from the guys who like doing that. That's what they say. And then the other thing is that it doesn't generally cause hair loss and guys that have been losing hair. Um steroids from taking testosterone and other things they switch to running Deca as their only injectable and then that usually stops it because the product that is made a remembered dihydrotestosterone gets made from out of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone is the molecule that attaches to The receptors in your hair follicle on your scalp and causes the cell death. So that is made when testosterone interacts with a Enzyme in your body called 5-alpha reductase. Okay, but if there's no testosterone in the blood because you're not taking any testosterone and then you're taking Deca so, you know, your balls aren't going to be producing any testosterone that way either because you're taking Deca and so then Deca is going to interact it's called nandrolone. That's the chemical name or the generic name for Decca. Deca is the brand name from origin on Origin on is the company who invented Deca and marketed it decade Roblin, but it means nandrolone deck. Oh, no. Wait, that's the Esther, you know, like testosterone and an thate nandrolone deck annoyed. So yeah, generally they use the DECA as only injectable and then they use like anavar as a as an oral and then you know, you can use that growth hormone doesn't cause any hair loss and generally that's like the way to keep your hair and use roids for the guys that are you know, having the best chance of doing that if you're Really susceptible to it losing hair generally using Deca and of our and then growth hormone is the best way to do bodybuilding and have the best chance of keeping your hair. Okay. Next question is what's your opinion on using a small Hydrochlorothiazide dosage? Okay, that's a diuretic 12.5 250 milligrams regularly as a blood pressure lowering water flushing medication and utilizing it during cuts to get drier. Okay, so diuretics they restrict certain electrolytes from your blood and then it makes it so that you retain less water and Hydrochlorothiazide restricts sodium retention, so With sodium having that in your body it attracts more water into your body. That's why you look fuller you look better you look more pumped and you can actually get a better pump in the gym. If you eat a lot of salt. So when you take the Hydrochlorothiazide diuretic, it makes it so that your body does not retain the sodium which means that there's much less water in your body. This can also cause muscle cramping and it can also cause like heart failure so dire. Looks are really dangerous drugs and the cause of a lot of deaths in bodybuilders like at competitions like most bodybuilders that died at the competition. It's because of diuretic misuse. So these are generally something that you don't want to take also they make you weaker when you take them. It'll be like after you take them for a few days you'll be weaker in the gym and have a hard time working out. They are something that is used before competition or before photo shoots and stuff like that. It to you know reduce water in the body and then make the person look drier and harder and get like that finished look and generally it's also prescribe, you know, it is prescribed by doctors to reduce blood pressure and it is prescribed by doctors to reduce water retention and edema were water retention under the skin. And normally the dosage that they prescribe is something like 25 milligrams a few times per week. That's generally what doctors prescribe Hydrochlorothiazide at for those purposes again guys. It's not smart to be messing around with diuretics things like insulin diuretics dnp. These are chemicals that can kill you. Okay, the other bodybuilding chemicals, it's very hard for you. To die from using them, but with these chemicals diuretics insulin dnp. You can kill yourself from messing up just one time with any of those chemicals, you know, you're not going to you're not going to have a you know, a death from taking a Dianabol tablet. That's not happening. But you can from taking too much insulin or from taking too much dnp or from taking too much diuretics and doing it one time. Okay. That can kill you and the main thing with the with the diuretics is that it messes up when you lose those electrolytes, then it makes it so that the electrical signal that controls your heart Contracting gets funky and you can get heart palpitations and you know people can have their hearts ease for their heart just fail and then, you know die from heart failure right there. So that's what happens to a lot of body builders cramping is one of the main signs of this is Going to be a problem next question. Harry Benjamin asks, hey, man, can I ask if you have any advice or experience of the best way to bring estrogen levels down? I had loads of nasty big spots all over my back and itchy nipples. So I had my blood work done and estrogen was high. So I started taking 25 milligrams Arimidex every other day and that made me so depressed head was completely screwed after just a week so Have been off that if anything that's worked for you. That doesn't have horrible side effects. Yeah, what dosage of testosterone are you using? But generally this is really individual. Oh, he said point two five milligrams of Arimidex. Okay, so he's saying that he's only taking a quarter tablet of Arimidex because usually Arimidex comes in one milligram tablets, but he's saying that he's taking a quarter tablet three and a half. Times per week. So he's taking about one milligram total of Arimidex per week. All right, that's it's you know from the effects that you're saying like you're depressed your head was screwed up for a week. That is the symptoms of taking too much aromatase inhibitor. Like if you take too much egg semester in if you take too much Arimidex, if you take too much letrozole and you crash your estrogen levels your brain needs estrogen to function correctly and it'll like really screw your head up, you know a massive head fog and you'll like We'll be like hard to do anything like even getting out of bed to like go to the bathroom will be hard for a few days because your brain seriously needs that estrogen in order to function. So it does sound like from the from the symptoms. You described that you have low crashed estrogen levels, you know, but taking such a low dosage like that that's like really surprising because normally, you know, you wouldn't see a lot of guys getting any effects like that unless If they were using more than three milligrams per week, you know that for a guy that's on 500 or 750 milligrams of testosterone per week. An average dosage of Arimidex would be like something like, you know, two or three or four tablets per week, you know spaced out throughout the week for guy that was on 500 750 milligrams of testosterone anywhere from 2 to 3 to 4, 1 milligram tablets of a limit x per week would be What you know on average they would take and then have a good estrogen level from that. So if your estrogen was high and then you only took you know, one milligram total of Arimidex a week that's like really low and it just means that you're super sensitive to it. So you got to take less and then also anecdotally is that a rheumatics and letrozole are synthetic chemicals that bind to the estrogen molecule and make it so that it can Aunt or sorry, they bind to the aromatize molecule. The aroma is is tase enzyme and then make it so it can't bind to testosterone. Okay, they prevent it from binding to testosterone. And so then it can't transform the testosterone into estrogen but there's some thetic chemicals that do that but then existing is actually a steroid that does that it's a prohormone. It's related to the you know, the prohormone for Andhra it's similar to that. Okay, and so it since it's a hormone it. And it's less likely to have weird effects on your head. You know, some people do are just get weird effects on their head from taking from taking a eyes aromatase Inhibitors letters all and Arimidex sometimes even if people don't get low estrogen they still get weird like head effects from it. It's unusual but it does happen and you know out of all those anti estrogens by far the one that has the best feeling on it or just like the best reviews like, you know people that have taken In it's a you know, I didn't have problems with that. It did what it was supposed to do and myself to like the way that I feel when I take XMS 10 Aromas in is the best and also has the least health effects. It has, you know, it doesn't have the bad cholesterol and blood lipid side effects that the other anti-estrogen slyke letrozole and Arimidex have so eczema stand by far the most Superior anti-estrogen it comes in 25 milligrams. Blitz and if you you know, you're somebody that's you know, only taking a milligram of Arimidex per week and you're having problems but you're showing high estrogen sometimes on your blood work. Then I would definitely give eggs Ms. Stain Aromas in the try if it was me because you know, mentally I have felt some, you know, kind of weird effects or brain fog or something like that from letrozole just from being on it, you know, not not from having low estrogen felt some kind of like fogginess and And you know, I definitely do not feel that at all on eggs investing like it. I like that stuff existing did the way that it feels the experience of taking it is far superior than letrozole order mood X in the land of aromatase Inhibitors. All right, next question Caruso asks, what's the best test booster in your opinion? I know it's not Testo fuel or test engine. Yeah the best. Austrian booster is HCG and Nova decks those both you know with HCG temporarily you can get, you know steroid cycle like testosterone levels, you know, the equivalence testosterone levels with something like 500 milligrams per week. But that would be foolish because you'd have to take you know, a high dosage something like one vial per week of HCG to get up to that level of natural testosterone production and it would also desensitize your testicles to the effects of H. Gigi or the natural body's chemical luteinizing hormone. So the better way to do it is to take Nova decks which makes your body's hypothalamic pituitary gonadal access run quicker and run. It makes it think that it needs to do more work the more Nova decks you take so starting at like 20 to 40 milligrams up to 60 milligrams. I mean around like 40 milligrams of hermit or of Nova decks per day that will double anybody who takes its testosterone levels. But at the same time Nova decks also lowers igf-1 now, you know people don't get big and get like steroid gains from taking all the decks either. So it's kind of a Fool's errand like trying to like, you know, boost your natural testosterone. That's kind of like a scam the way the way that you need to do it is if you're looking, you know to do something where you can just take a pill or something like that then Psalms is the best option or pro hormones is the best option. Because you know likes arms, they're not illegal. You can buy them legally. There's some articles reviewing them on my website bodybuilder in Thailand.com. This is the steroids podcast. Okay, but my personal website bodybuilder in Thailand.com normally for this podcast you go to steroid podcast.com by my personal website bodybuilding time.com review some of those saw arms and you know, they have steroid like effects they work on your hormones. Chapters on your Androgen hormone receptors the same way that steroids do to do their effects and they're going to work way better than doing something like taking Nova decks or HCG and expecting to get gains from that. I mean, you might get a little bit of gains from that but it's going to be very marginal that's you know, not like I said before it's a Fool's errand to be trying to boost your natural testosterone levels to get gains to get muscle gains. You need to be putting in hormones or things that stimulate hormone receptors from the outside. That's the way to get gains that make you look like you're you know, Juiced you gotta take juice. So that's the I don't believe in testosterone boosters. If you want to boost your male hormone levels and you want to like, you know, make some gains in the gym, then you got to get yourself some Storm's or you got to get yourself some pro hormones. If you don't want to take steroids if you don't want to take in a regular steroids injectable steroids. Whatever, then you got to get some storms or hormones and boosting. Your natural testosterone is not going to be the bullet you're looking for Joe asks question on how to use metformin. I have 500 milligram metformin hydrochloride tablets. I know it acts like a car blocker. I'm concerned about low blood sugar issues are similar to the guy before also should it be taken every day or just before big carb cheat meal my goal is to drop a few pounds of body fat, but I also don't want my performance in the gym to see Upper I'm thinking Metformin before a cheat meal will lessen the insulin Spike and keep me on the right fat loss path. Thanks. Yeah, so 500 milligrams metformin is the normal immediate release tablet dosage. So the first thing with metformin is that the main effect when you first start taking it that you notice is gastrointestinal issues. So did justice system problems, like farting and diarrhea. So like the first two weeks that you take Metformin you got diarrhea 24 Day, and it's like you got to be careful because you got some serious diarrhea and unlike gas, you know, like farting so then that your body gets used to it after that because it changes the environment in your gut. It changes the bacterial environment and your gut to take Metformin. So they've you know, your gut freaks out for a couple weeks and then between week to week four it gets, you know better each day. It's not as bad and then by the time that week four hits then, you know, you're back from normal with your gut but There's this break-in period of taking metformin. So if you just go like drop them at Foreman out of nowhere, that's like dropping a diarrhea tablet down here. So as far as like using it infrequently or sparingly for cheat meals like yeah, it will work and it will get make you have diarrhea and like make you not absorb the food but you know, it's going to not be fun because you're going to be gassy and you're going to have the squirts. It's going to be the runs. It's not going to be fun. I don't recommend that I definitely recommend you. If you use metformin to use it every day because that's the only way that your body gets used to it your gut gets used to it. And then you know, you still you get a normal gut. The only thing is that with metformin there's a certain metformin smell that comes out in your poop and your P. Okay, but it doesn't come out of your skin or anything like that or your hair or anything like that so you don't smell like metformin but when you go P or when you go poop if you're on Metformin, it smells like metformin. I'm not pulling your leg right now. That is a real thing. That's a known thing the metformin smell, but the only time that you would ever smell that is if you go pee or poop it doesn't come out in your body odor at all. So know that it does help you lose weight for one thing when you're on Metformin 30% of the energy from carbs and fat does not give absorbed through the gut into your bloodstream. So it just passes through you after you eat it and you poop it out and energy doesn't get into you. So for the same amount of food you are if you eat the same amount of food on Metformin that you a off metformin you will absorb less calories from that same food. So that's one of the ways that helps you lose weight the main way that it does and then also in the first two weeks since you're going diarrhea so much. It's like you don't absorb barely any nutrients from the food you eat. And so you lose a bunch of weight during the first two weeks that you take it from having the diarrhea. Ha ha ha ha ha. So yeah, that's how it works. Like I mean it is a way to mitigate, you know fat gain from eating junk food. Like it's definitely a tool that is used among people who eat a lot of junk food and want to mitigate fat gain like taking some human growth hormone with some metformin and then taking roids at the same time. It's a way to eat a lot of junk and sort of have the metformin kind of just get the junk. The body and then it's a nutrient partition are you know, it makes more of the food that you eat go into your muscles and the other body parts, you know, they don't get that same effect. So taking metformin steroids and human growth hormone. Oh my gosh, your muscle cells are so sensitive to insulin. So, you know when you eat junk food or you eat like a lot of food or a lot of carbs like your muscles just take all the energy. It's crazy nutrient partitioner it really like that's the whole point of performance and zinc drugs. And that's why I like insulin manipulation is so important and you know having insulin sensitivity and stuff like that is so important is because that's like how performance-enhancing drugs work is manipulating the way that your food is absorbed and used in your body and insulin is so important to that. Okay. Next question is wrong. And he says I'm he didn't live podcast. I'm 45 years old and about at the end of my test 1 gram Trend 200 milligrams cycle. I was originally going to get off everything start HCG 3,000 milligrams per week or 3,000 IU per week and couple weeks after start Clomid Nova so full PCT and off for two months minimum after listening to one of your podcasts. I think number six you talked about cruising if not worried about fertility. What would you suggest? And if I did a cruise, what would be a good dose of test? Okay, good question. First I wanted to say one thing too. Is that in these podcasts? I'm just rolling the tape. So if I make a mistake and say like milliliters instead of milligrams, like my tongue gets tied or give me. All right, so to get to your question Robbie as far as cruising goes dude, you just want to take your natural hormone. you want to replace them or something near that so a common way to Cruz would be to have done a steroid cycle where you know that may harm your health a bit and then when you're finished with the steroid cycle, you just go to a testosterone replacement therapy dosage of testosterone, which is normally one cc a week which means 200 milligrams or 250 milligrams of testosterone per week, and then you don't have to To have low testosterone and go through PCT and have to take through post Psychotherapy drugs and you know go through that whole shitty experience and you can you know, not lose your gains as much between Cycles by staying on steroids. It's called blasting and cruising that's where when you're not on a steroid cycle. You take testosterone replacement therapy in between your steroid cycles one cc per week is usually the number and yeah, the Point of PCT or sorry the point of cruising is that you want to allow your body to not have any toxicity. Okay. So any anything that causes any toxicity any other steroids you taken any other drugs you take in you don't want to be taking those while you do the crews? Okay, while you take the one cc of testosterone per week because the point of the cruise is to get the health back to a hundred percent get all the blood work markers, you know, all your health markers you want them to all be looking great. Okay. Okay, that's the point of the cruise. So everything that is in doing any kind of toxicity in your body must go and then the testosterone dosage must be low enough that your body is not having a toxic response and all of the blood work is able to get into good range reality check asks, I don't have much experience with Anna drawl, but is it good for fat loss compared to trend? How low calories can you go while retaining 99% of your muscle on Trend? All right. So Anna doll is not as good for fat loss is Tren. So Tren really like burns fat pretty dang effectively. It's an effective fat burner, but in a draw you might burn a little bit of fat while you're on it, especially if you're like new to steroids or you haven't done. These steroids in a long time if you took Anna draw. Yeah, you'd probably burn some fat on it but you know, it normally isn't like a fat burner. You're not going to be taking that otherwise, like if you take that in your cycles and you're expecting an adult to burn a bunch of fat and mean it's not you may lose a little bit of fat on it and gain a little bit size of the same time just because a better nutrient partitioning but it's not going to be anything like real significant because of taking that And then as far as retaining your muscles on the trend is you know, really if you've got I mean even even 50 milligrams of tremble on every other day. So a hundred seventy five milligrams per week, but you know, preferably a hundred milligrams of tremble own acetate every other day. So 350 milligrams per week, you know, if you're on that dosage, but possibly even on, you know, you know, probably even on a hundred seventy five milligrams. Per week, preferably 350 milligrams per week. You're not losing any muscle man. You can just like stop eating food in that Trend ballon locks that muscle on your body. You're not losing muscle. What will happen is you will look a lot less muscular if you stop eating food and if you stop eating carbohydrates, you will look a lot less muscular, but the muscle just goes into hibernation like the trend will not allow muscle fiber to be catabolized. Aged and you know eating for energy until like all the fat on the body is gone like it puts a force field around it and it can't be taken away like the size will the size and the shape and the look how impressive it looks will temporarily go down because it's what you're it's what is called going very very flat having very very flat muscles low glycogen in the muscles and they go into what looks like a hibernation mode. But once you once you eat again, they go right back to the way that they were. So if you put that Trend balloon in you it pretty much a hundred percent blocks any kind of your body eating muscle tissue, that just does not happen and it doesn't it doesn't matter how little you eat. It's just not happening until all your fat is burned off so Trimble and that's why it's such an incredible dieting drug is it protects muscle like crazy and it actively burns fat. It's really something else. Next question is from paramour who asks thanks. How low calories can you go? Oh, that's okay. I read Paramore's question. So the last question was from paramour the one about retaining 99% of your muscle on Trenton. Next question is from see know who asks, may I was speaking with a guy. He told me that most of the fitness models run this cycle to IU pharmaceutical grade human growth hormone. Year-round then they do six weeks to 50 tests. Ananth 8 then six weeks 250 tenths test. Ananth eight 700 tremble own acetate 700. Anavar Skywalker maintains a similar physique with much less. What do you think? Yeah. So John Skywalker, he uses about 350 milligrams of testosterone propionate and 350 milligrams of tremble and acetate. He's an Instagram model. L got a great physique looks a lot like zis but a better version and you know, that's what he uses for his drugs in and that's what he talks about his cycle. Sometimes he uses a little more he'll use like 450 milligrams of trend sometimes or something like that. But he's honest about his dosages and I think that that his dosages are more accurate also. Yes human growth hormone pharmaceutical grade human growth hormone is used, you know not He's using it. But some people are you know, a good portion of them are I don't know whether or not John Skywalker uses human growth hormone. I haven't talked to him about it. But I do know that he uses 350 milligrams of tremble and acetate and 350 milligrams of testosterone propionate per week on average and you know, he has that physique that is the fitness model physique. So if that's what you're looking for, he's like the number one guy. ISO run his cycle and if you don't think your genetics are as good as him then put 2 2 4 or 6 IU of pharmaceutical grade growth hormone in there. And then your genetics will pretty much seem like they're about as good as him. Next question is from Blue STI quick question for the podcast. And do you have to change your diet while being on cycle like eat more carbs and protein than you normally do also do you do to your tea or do you blasting? Cruise yeah protein you just eat the same amount of protein. You can eat a little bit more on cycle. I mean you can eat more of everything though, like more of all of the food that you eat goes towards muscle and stays away from fat when you're on roids. You can eat more food and more of it goes towards the muscle than fat. So it changes the way that your body uses food. It changes how much of the carbs protein and fat. Are used for muscle muscle building and muscle fuel storage compared to how much of that carbs protein and fat goes to fat cells and you know human growth hormone. Does this very effectively and very potent lie to that's why there is such an incredibly potent combination with steroids is it changes the way that your entire body uses protein carbs and fat so very very good body. position drug Human growth hormone and as far as carbohydrates again, that's number one if you're trying to get big and strong and freaky than carbohydrates. And yeah gear makes you use carbohydrates way better than not being on gear carbohydrates and gear are like bread and butter. They go together the more carbohydrates you eat the bigger and stronger you get Point Blank. All right. He also asks do I do trt? Okay, the way that I do it is I've been doing it this way for years. And what I do is I do Cycles saw do like an eight week cycle or a 10 week cycle or 12 week cycle and I'll do whatever, you know a cycle for me would be something like a thousand milligrams of testosterone per week and do that for like 12 weeks and then you know, I might take a hundred milligrams of an adrenaline. Per day for four weeks and then I might take a two-week break and then I might take 50 milligrams and a draw for another six. Sorry another I would stop the Ana draw after the four weeks then take like a two-week break and then for the last six weeks with the thousand milligrams of testosterone per week. I would take Winstrol 50 milligrams or 75 milligrams or hundred milligrams or probably go somewhere between those dosages. Has during that time where I might even add in, you know a little bit of an intro again, like 50 milligrams per day of Anna draw again for the last two weeks in addition to the Winstrol. Those are the kind of cycles that I usually run or I'll do something like run in, you know Prima bowling in testosterone like maybe 700 of each or a thousand milligrams of each and I really like human growth hormone. I think that human growth hormone is like incredible. So the combination of testosterone with human growth hormone can pretty much get You like everything you want from bodybuilding if you can just add in a little bit of something else like Prima Bolin or some kind of oral steroid to get those cosmetic effects. Then that's you know, the combination of those things is pretty much can get you everything that you want in bodybuilding. So those are the things that I like to use and then when I'm done with that cycle, you know, 10 12, 15 weeks something like that. Usually about 12 weeks then I will Stop taking everything. I won't take any performance-enhancing drugs. I'll just only thing I'll keep taking as my 500 IU of HCG per week because I use that year-round to keep my testicles functioning to keep my keep me producing sperm and testosterone naturally around I use 500 IU of HCG injected once per week intramuscularly. So I just stay on that all year and I come off come off all the gear any growth hormone. He any steroids and testosterone and the orals anything like that. I don't I don't take that anymore. And then I don't take any PCT. I just stop taking everything and just keep on taking the HCG at 500. I you and I do that for like five or six or eight weeks or something like that and then I'll start doing trt. So I'll start at that point. I'll start doing one usually about one cc of testosterone per week and I'll do that for like Something like four weeks or again like eight weeks or something. So now it's a total of like three months or so since my last cycle and then usually I'll start up a new cycle because usually then I'm getting like antsy and like want to be making some nice progress in the gym again, so that's usually when I would start my next cycle after a you know, a month or two off of everything except for the HCG and then month or two after that of doing trt. Once you see it testosterone per week. Then do another cycle 10 12 15 weeks cycle or something like that. That's typical with me. That's the way that I've been doing it for a few years. Alright last question of the day is Sam who asks what to take if you want a crazy sex drive for a month. Yeah, so I would say, you know stack Master run and provider in but there's no real Point that's kind of redundant but you know Master on actually probably has a stronger sex drive effect. Then probe ayran. So probe ayran is oral tablets and like milligram per milligram. They're pretty similar in potency for their sex drive effects. So like a hundred milligrams of provirus in per day is like outrageously strong did like outrageous. Okay, but like, you know, a hundred milligrams Master on per day is also outrageous and you know, I'd pretty much say the effects of the same but you know, I would lean towards the Master on Because the master on seems to be a more potent like all day long all night long. It's on your mind kind of effect. Whereas probe eyring is not it seems to be a little bit less steady all the time. It's more of an up-and-down thing or something like that. I mean, I'm splitting hairs though right now, man. I'm splitting hairs. So if you like you said Sam wanted to have a crazy sex drive for a month. Well, Them, you know the number the two things that you'd want to have on your hands are as far as steroids would be Master on in probe. Ayran. You'd probably just want to experiment with those, you know, taking anywhere from fifty to a hundred milligrams per day of each or taking them at the same time, you know, whatever you want. It's up to you to do what you want to experiment with it. And then the other thing is with the testosterone, you don't want that to be real high because when you mix when you have a lot of testosterone you get a bunch of all these other hormones there man. Taba lights or products of testosterone in your blood and then when those get high it can kind of like screw things up. So usually people have the best sex drive on of testosterone on around likes trt about one cc of testosterone per week generally gives the best and most consistent sex drive facts. It's the most consistent. So something like, you know, a hundred milligrams of Master on per day with one cc of testosterone per week. Injected, you know as a half CC Monday and Thursday and then of the testosterone and then you would take one cc of the master on every single day and those would be like the best sex drive from steroids effects that you could get but then also stuff like Viagra so Dan and Phil and Cialis tadalafil. Those are like totally performance-enhancing drugs for your dig. So like if normally when Sex like you have like an 85% or 90% hardness dick, you know for the majority of the time. Well, if you take you know, sildenafil Viagra or tadalafil Cialis, well, it's going to be like a hundred percent like every single time guaranteed and if you have any kind of like performance anxiety or something like that or like, you know, thinking like shit, like I'm scared that I'm not going to be able to like get an erection like if You take this stuff that fear is going to go away. Okay, so I would definitely say to get your hands on some of that too. If that's what you're looking for, you know taking those things taking those things is generally good, you know, one time I took calves reject and you know, I did this one time and I'm not going to do this ever again, but Kai reject is an injectable thing that like you inject it into your dick and then it makes you get an erection like chemically So it's a it's called out prostate ill that's the chemical name and it comes in a vial like HCG, you know, you mix it up with water and then you use an insulin syringe. What I did was I did a 10 units it was it was ten micrograms. Yeah, and you don't shoot it like into the head of your dick you should have like the base of the shaft like like diagonally so like, you know like Like if you were like looking at your cock and the clot and you were like looking at it like it was a clock right? So you would you would inject the calves reject it like like two o'clock or 10 o'clock. That would be like the part and you do it right at the base like right where your dick like comes out of your abdomen. And so yeah, I did that. I used a I used an insulin syringe with a 5/16 of an inch long needle And it had a you had a 30 gauge thickness needle on it. And even right now talking about it. I want to like cover my dick because like I can't believe that I did that and I anyways yeah, dude, I freaking gave myself an injection in my dick with that cover Jack and you know what I put it in there and then you know, I injected the a prostitute ill in there and you know, what by the time that I took you know that I went Boop and pulled the syringe out pulled the fucking needle out of my dick. Jeez gah gah gah gah. Yeah, so did that and you know instantly it started rising and then for the next two hours, you know, I could go for a jog I could go run laps. I could go to the gym and lift weights, you know anything anything could be done and you know, that dick was not going to become a hard that was just the way it was and it was stuck that way for two hours and then it slowly went away. And then it felt very sore for about for about 24 hours afterwards. That's how it was with calves reject. That's my calves reject. I'll prostitute a story.
