5a androst Testosterone Booster

2a 17a Etiocholan Testosterone Booster (aka 5a androst)

2a 17a Methadrol

2a,17a etiocholan is a product that is essentially a steroid. 5a androst is effectively a testosterone booster, do not use for weight loss or to shed fat. iForce Nutrition makes a product titled "2a,17a Methadrol" which is a man-made compound found in dozens of other similar products. 2a,17a di methyl etiocholan 3-one, 17b-ol is the compound in these products. I will not be lecturing you about why you should or should not take steroids, or why you should or should not take products that are chemically and structurally equal to steroids. I have read online that the FDA is telling these designer chemists to stop manufacturing and distributing such products. The term "etiocholan" is somewhat archaic, 5a-androst is the more common term. Etiocholan is interchangeable with 5a-androst, so when you are reading the chemical constituents make sure you are aware that these two are the same thing.

Methy etiocholan, for short, is a very powerful muscle gainer that is sold by several companies. I have been on iForce Nutrition's methyl etiocholan product for two weeks now and I have gained ten solid, muscular pounds. Definitely a good sign. It is recommend that you take one capsule twice per day, for about three weeks before cycling off. I have read testimonials saying that users have gained up to 18 pounds in those three weeks, and lost very little of that gained weight once they cycled off. Post cycle therapy is a must after using 2a 17a etiocholan testosterone boosting products; I suggest Inhibit-E, tribulus terrestris and always take your milk thistle to support your liver functioning. These methyl etiocholans are very rough on the liver, so DO NOT drink more than a couple of drinks at any point. No drinking is the best option because it will keep your liver healthy during this cycle.

However, these products are VERY powerful and potentially dangerous if not used properly. Anything that works so well at helping you gain weight, is always a product that potential for serious side affects. Nobody under 21 should ever use a methyl etiocholan product because it can cause many adverse affects on a human body which has not finished puberty. Super-Anadrol is essentially the product which yields the same great results but with the same side effects as one would expect from a steroid that is quite androgenic; such as pimples, slight hairloss and some testicular shrinkage. Under NO circumstances should methyl etiocholans be used by anyone under around 21. It could seriously affect your endocrine system and potentially fuse your growth plates prematurely. Which could result in you not growing any taller, thus leaving you with a 17 year old's bone structure permanently.

If you know of any other methyl etiocholans or products with 5a androst, please give me a shout!

The 5 Best Benefits of Tribulus Terrestris

Tribulus terrestris is a supplement which can do many great things for you and your body. It is commonly used as a libido enhancer for men and women. Additionally, it can be incorporated into post cycle therapy after using any kind of testosterone booster. Tribulus naturally balances out hormone levels in the body, which is the reason it is used as part of post cycle therapy. Try it along with inhibit-E and milk thistle capsules for part of a solid post cycle regiment.tribjar1

Here are the 5 Coolest Tribulus Terrestris Effects:
1) The active ingredient in tribulus terrestris extract is PROTODIOSCIN, which is a natural precursor to the human sex hormone, testosterone.

2) Several universities have done studies linking terrestris supplementation to balanced hormone levels in the body, which can help prevent lapses in testosterone levels.

3) Studies have shown that terrestris extract can boost your circulatory system which will help your body pump important oxygen and nutrients to your muscles.

4) Tribulus may boost production of leutenizing hormone which is a regulator of testosterone, as well as one of many testosterone stimulators.

5) Supplementation with tribulus can help fight impotence, in men and women! Trib helps this by balancing the bodies concentration of hormone levels.

Tribulus has been used by the Chinese and Indians(Asia) for hundreds of years dating back to ancient times. Even then, the herb was used to treat impotence, improve mood, and increase overall health. Terrestris extract was mostly unheard of until the late 1980s and early 1990s. Word got out that Eastern European countries had been giving tribulus to their Olympians for quite some time. Then everybody jumped on the herb.

Since tribulus has so many potential health benefits, thousands of people are taking tribulus but for different reasons. Some are taking it to improve their sex drive or simply to balance their hormone levels. Bodybuilders use tribulus to keep testosterone and estrogen levels where they should be after cycling other pro-hormone or similar complexes. With so many benefits, its hard to justify NOT taking tribulus.

Make sure that don't stay on it more than three months, then take two - four weeks off. This is to keep your body cycling its hormones in a natural flow. I suggest taking 750 - 1250mg a day, have three servings total per day, each one with a decent meal. Try taking it for nine weeks, then go off for three weeks. Tribulus terrestris effects may not manifest themselves for a month, or even three months, so be patient.

I typically buy my Tribulus Terrestris extract from Lucky Vitamin; I buy GoodNNatural's 250mg bottles since they are usually under 5$.

Please leave comments, additional information, or personal experiences with tribulus.

Dodge BRAWL

Here it is. The point of the website. I mean, at least the origin of the name. I have a charity poker tournament to play in 20 minutes, so I am just putting this up for all to view. Please comment. Guess which guy I am!! 3/13/09 5:55pm

Okay, so the poker tournament last night obviously ended with Nick sitting heads up with another poker player with mostly even stacks. After about 10 minutes of Heather and myself watching them heads up, the other player asked Nick if he wanted to chop. The dealers were getting tired, and the cards were coming slow; Nick elected to chop the prize pot. Which turns out 225 for a 30 buy in is pretty decent money to grind with.

Anyway, here is the raw video footage of the dodge ball fracas from two weekends ago. My web expert has reduced the size of the footage as well as the length. However, my expert does not get out of bed before 1pm so it will be at least another two hours before I get the good version of the fight up.

I wont say anything about the video because you can see it for yourself. It's pretty amusing to watch how insane things get. I mean, when you get hit in dodge ball, you go sit down. When you don't, bad things can happen. The worst part of it all is that we had won last year, and were about to win this year.

The tournament was double elimination and we had not lost even a set. We had waxed everybody, embarrassed most teams, and were generally hated by the entire gym. Probably didn't help that I stood up on a bench and waved my arms up and down in order to rile the crowd. Definitely worth it though. Technically we had just beaten the other team before the tournament got canceled. We could have lost that round, and gone done a bracket to play for a re-draw into the finals match. Did not make a difference though because we had won and were going on to the finals.

I will tell more details about it later today or tomorrow after I get the short, smaller version online. Enjoy, and please leave comments. Especially if you were one of the loser-ass teams that thought they had won, even though the tournament was called off. 3/14/09 11:15am

OKAY!!! So I cannot get the video onto this webpage, apparently it does not have the capacity for this size of video. Just use the youtube navigation bar that I put on the left side of the page. Search for DBrawl Muscle. No, don't do that either!! I have to change video format, this is getting kind of absurd. Anyway, try DBrawl and DBrawl Muscle on youtube. Thanks! 3/15/09 12:05 pm GOT IT!!! FINALLY!!!! HERE IT IS!!!!

Milk Thistle Capsules

BestVite.com sells Milk Thistle (Silymarin) which is a high yield of 80% Silymarin Flavonoids. According to their bottle, milk thistle can protect the liver from the toxic effects from smoking, harmful chemicals, pollution, alcohol. BestVite sells this milk thistle capsule in bottles of 120 capsules and 240 capsules. The capsules are 300mg at 80% standardized yield, which gives you generally 240mg of Silymarin Flavonoids. These are the least expensive of milk thistle capsules that I have come across in my career.

Himalaya makes a Milk Thistle capsule with an assortment of other added herbs. It is a specifically formulated capsule with additional beneficial herbal extracts. This particular milk thistle capsule has caper extract, carrot extract, arjuna lipids, black nightshade alkaloids, and constituents of yarrow and tamarisk as well. Himalaya's "LiverCare" is top of the line, though I cannot bring myself to justify the buying this expensive product, even though there are many more herbal extracts in it. All of the additional herbs help detoxify and support healthy liver function, though I have not researched the validity of these statements. Capsules are 450mg of the listed blend. Comes in 180 and 360 capsule jars.

Natrol makes Milk Thistle Advantage, which is usually a dollar or so more expensive that BestVite. Natrol's milk thistle comes in jars of 60 capsules at 525mg of 80% standardized Silymarin. This is the breakdown of the ingredients in Milk Thistle Advantage Silymarin 420 mg, Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) (root) 85 mg, Black Radish (Raphanum sativus) (root) 60 mg, Burdock (Arctium lappa) (root) 60 mg, Ginger Extract (Zingiber officinale) (rhizome) 60 mg, Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) (root) 35 mg. These additional ingredients are very similar to those of the Himalaya Milk Thistle capsules, all are designed to assist in healthy liver function.

GNC sells a milk thistle capsule as well. Obviously, it will be more expensive than most capsules because GNC is a giant in the supplement/health world and can get away with charging more. Their product is not, in my opinion, on par with the other milk thistle capsules. GNC's product has 100 capsules with 80% standardized Silymarin, and the capsules are 200mg. There are no additional ingredients, no bonus herbal extracts. This product will run at least 12$ a bottle for 200 capsules, which is much more expensive than any of the other listed milk thistle capsules.

I understand there are hundreds of different milk thistle capsules out there, and I will likely add more reviews of them to the blog. My goal is to inform you, and keep your hard earned dollars in your wallet. You do not want to pay Big Brand Name twice as much for the same product that you would pay for a generic, same composition milk thistle capsule. Most of these herbal supplements are standardized, so don't overpay for these products.

Milk Thistle Liver Supplement

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) is a widely used supplement amongst weight lifters, heavy drinkers, and athletes in general. While there is speculation on how effective milk thistle is, many people swear by it. I am in that category. According to a study done in 2000 by AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare and Research Quality), milk thistle's effectiveness has not been established as relevant. BestVite has a very solid product, and you get get a very fair deal on multiple bottles.

Milk thistle as liver care is the most widespread and common use. The FDA has yet to evaluate the effectiveness or safety in the use of milk thistle. There are no standardized regulations for the manufacturing of milk thistle, and milk thistle extract. A few cases have surfaced in which the milk thistle product was contanimated by toxic metals. This event is rare, but milk thistle should be purchased without fear of toxic metal poisoning.

Milk thistle is used as a complementary treatment for liver problems such as cirrhosis, inflammation, and specifically hepatitis. It is suggest that milk thistle can help the liver recover from damages caused by a wide range of toxins. These toxins can include industrial byproducts like xylene, toluene, and many generic cleaning agents.

Most doctors claim that more research and studies need to be conducted before they can affirmatively say that milk thistle does directly benefit the health of one's liver. Milk thistle may protect the liver from inflammation, but will not help fight viral infections of the liver.

Silymarin is the extract of the milk thistle plant, which is effectively what you are buying. Supposedly, it can help the liver to break down and fight side affects from cell-damaging free radicals. Silymarin also has the potential to interfere with the effects of liver damaging toxins.

Though science has much more work and studying to do regarding the benefits of milk thistle on liver cells, most people can find a legitimate reason to take Silymarin as a daily supplement. Since most body building/weight lifting supplements have serious chemicals in them, adding milk thistle will help your liver to recover from breaking down and metabolizing these compounds.

As a generic rule, milk thistle extract should be taken with a meal 2-3 times a day to benefit the liver and help counter-act the damages caused by alcohol, industrial toxins, and powerful lifting supplements.

Post Cycle Therapy Inhibit-E

Inhibit-E is an anti-estrogen/testosterone booster manufactured by Serious Nutrition Solutions. It is designed to optimize natural testosterone levels, and decrease levels of estrogen. Inhibit-E used by itself may not actually do very much. These are not testosterone pills. I have ONLY used it as part of post cycle therapy (PCT).

I have used inhibit-E several times in my life, and have always been happy with the results. Logically, PCT should prevent estrogen levels from increasing, and should maintain current testosterone levels. This is very important after using any kind of testosterone booster/steroid/pro-hormone complex during weight training. Also, milk thistle is important to take while using these kind of supplements because of the work your liver does to break down these chemicals.

Inhibit-E has done a very good job for me. I have taken many supplements which boost testosterone, as well as pro-hormonal complexes. I have never had any gyno, which I would like to believe the inhibit-E is responsible for. I have done cycles which gained me 20+ pounds, but I would lose more than half this weight because I was unaware of PCT. I took TwinLabs testosterone pills "Andro Fuel" (androstenedione and yohimbe bark extract), gained weight, got HUGE, got much stronger. I lost almost every bit of what I gained because I did NOT use inhibit-E, or any kind of post cycle therapy at all.

I have heard of many different kinds of supplements used for post cycle therapy, but inhibit-E has always done a good job of keeping my gains. I lost little of the gained weight, the strength decreased only minimally if anything, and I have yet to have acne problems, mood swings, or other adverse side effects due to hormonal imbalance. It is an excellent product. Dosage does need to be tapered so that you start out taking 2-3 pills a day for a week, then second week just 2, and by the third week you only take one pill a day.

Legal Limit Labs testosterone pills

5-deca-zol is a man-made testosterone pill designed to increase muscle mass, testosterone, and strength. It can be taken once or twice a day, depending on what your goals are. A couple of my friends and I got on it around the same time, but did different dosages. 5DZ will require at least three weeks of post cycle therapy.

I elected to take the sub lingual pill twice a day during my training for about a month and a half. We can call it six weeks to make things easier. Mine were fruit punch flavored. You are supposed to bite them into small pieces, then slide the fragments under your tongue for absorption. Do not just swallow the pill. Bottle label is pretty clear about that. I suggest you do NOT brush your teeth right before taking your 5DZ. I took mine usually 30 minutes after breakfast (8:45), and the second pill around 3:30 after a light snack.

I weighed roughly 174 when I took Legal Limit Labs' 5-deca-zol, and came off at around 193. Keep in mind that I am a hard gainer with rather 'skinny genes'. I absolutely got stronger and gained weight while taking this testosterone pill.

Most of the time I was lifting heavy weight doing four or fives different exercises per muscle group. I did chest exercises 5 sets with reps of 5 attempting to add as much mass as possible. My leg exercises are not a useful barometer because I have knee and ankle problems. I cannot lift legs with heavy weights and NOT have sore knees. Since I play basketball a few days a week, I elected to do 4-6 exercises, 4 sets of 8-12 reps on legs. Arms were mostly heavy weight, 3-5 exercises, 4-5 sets with 8-10 reps. Same for shoulders.

Both of my friends whom took it had positive results, gained weight, and added strength. Of the three of us, none saw visual results, no dramatic change in appearance. This product built stronger muscle than I would have without it. Gaining weight and strength without gaining much mass indicates that it is an effective supplement.

I did not experience any side effects; no acne, no weird muscle cramping, no loss of sleep. My first friend also experienced no negative side effects. Second friend, however, did develop some very minor acne on his arms. This may be a result of the 5DZ, but the acne would likely not have developed if he did not shave his arms. He has taken other testosterone pills before without acne side effects. Overall, side effects amongst three males ages 23-25 were very minimal if at all present.

Once I went off 5DZ, I lost a few pounds right away, even with post cycle therapy. I am currently 188 and have been on PCT for about 11 days. I imagine I wont drop under 183. So, I gained about 18 pounds, maybe 8 of which will come off naturally during post cycle therapy.

After using 5-deca-zol, it is very important to take some kind of post cycle therapy. While 5DZ is NOT a steroid, it does increase testosterone, so proper anti-estrogen supplementation after use is necessary. I suggest Inhibit-E. Also, be sure to take your milk thistle extract because these types of man-made chemical supplements are real work for your liver to break down.

All in all, I will definitely take use this supplement again. It was effective, I gained strength and weight without adverse side effects of any kind.
