QUESTION: What motivates you day in and day out to keep training hard and keep coming back show after show? ANSWER: The other day, I was watching the inspirational high school basketball movie, HOOSIERS, and I heard a great line uttered by Gene Hackman. In response to the critical assessment that sports give individuals a false hope of success, he replies, “In our lifetimes, wouldn’t all of us like to feel like GODS-- even for just one day?” That is the line that probably best typifies what bodybuilders experience when they hear their name called out for first place. A non-competitive individual will never know or truly understand what it feels like to be the BEST at anything-- even, if, for only a small moment in time. As bodybuilders, we sacrifice, we subject ourselves to enormous pain, and we spend tremendous amounts of time and money in the pursuit of that coveted first place prize; yet, the rewards seem inadequate? The best way to understand why, as athletes, we sacrifice so much to gain, theoretically, so little is that we all, as competitive, passionate, individuals strive to feel immortal, invincible, and eternal—even for just one day! QUESTION: What is the deal with all the vicious postings on message boards and all the obsessed fans that seem to stalk the bodybuilding world? ANSWER: During the BLACKOUT OF 2003, while sitting in the dark living room of my home (with only 2 hours of laptop battery power to go), I realize how fragile and precarious our lives are and how dependent we are upon the electrical power plants that fuel our 21st century existence. It also gives me a good chance to analyze all the delusional and vampiric people who prowl the bodybuilding landscape in search of vicarious thrills at the expense of all the hardworking, well- intentioned, successful athletes. You have to understand that there will always be jealous individuals who envy the lifestyle of professional bodybuilders and thus try to belittle them in an attempt to make themselves feel better about their own dysfunctional lives. Likewise, all the obsessed, fetish-tainted, fans who stalk after all the women bodybuilders are also, in a sense, either trying to live vicariously through their idols or are attempting to manipulate and take advantage of the fragile state of affairs that exists in today’s world of women’s physique development. QUESTION: I have a show coming up in about 9 weeks. I have 20ml of Testosterone Cypionate, 50ml of Testosterone Enanthate, 20ml of Deca, 20ml of Winstrol, and 4 IU/day of Serostim GH (8 weeks worth). What is the best way to get large and cut up at the same time. Also, Should I take insulin with it? ANSWER: Your contest in 9 weeks would seem to have precedence in this instance; therefore, we will concentrate on having you get into your best condition possible. Try taking 250mg testosterone cypionate 2x per week and 250mg testosterone enanthate 2x per week (1000mg of total testosterone/week). Combine the 1000mg of Test with 200mg Deca twice per week and 1mL (50mg) Winstrol every other day. To “ignite the flame” of fat burning, you can add in the 4IU GH/day (taken in the morning). Assuming you are following a low carbohydrate diet (in order to burn up as much bodyfat as possible), you will NOT need to use insulin with this pre-contest stack. QUESTION: Does Finajet, Deca Durabolin, Dianabol and Anavar lower and suppress natural testosterone levels? If yes, would Finajet, Deca Durabolin, Dianabol and Anavar cancel the effects of natural testosterone boosters and Pro-hormones? ANSWER: Deca Durabolin and Dianabol heavily suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis (i.e. they shut down endogenous testosterone production). Trenbolone and Anavar, while appearing to have much more subtle effects on natural testosterone production, both do indeed suppress endogenous testosterone levels to some degree. If a lifter were to take pro-hormones to boost testosterone production and they were to concurrently taking any of the above synthetic anabolic steroids, they would not garnish the proclaimed benefits from the much-weaker prohormones. A much wiser approach would be to take the pro-hormones after coming off a lengthy cycle of the above-mentioned anabolic steroids. Taken in this fashion, the body would have all the raw materials it could possibly need to manufacture the now scarce testosterone molecule. QUESTION: How long would you say that Dianabol or Anadrol-50 stays in your system? ANSWER: I would venture to guess that since they are both water-based oral compounds, they would have a very fast turnover and half- life; therefore, I would probably guess that after 48 hours MOST traces of the drugs would be gone. To play it safe, I would give yourself a good 2 weeks off the drugs before taking any kind of drug test. ZYDOT is a blocking agent (comes as a ready-to-mix drink) that has been quite effective at blocking anabolic steroids from showing up on urinalysis. The only synthetic steroids that it doesn’t reliably block is Deca Durabolin and Equipoise. QUESTION: Is there a specific way to take clenbuterol? I heard [2 weeks on-2 weeks off], or [3 days on-3 days off] is the best way? What do you suggest? ANSWER: Take 2 pills per day (in divided doses) for 2 weeks (one pill in morning, one pill 30 min before training). Every two weeks thereafter, take an additional pill until you reach a high of 6 pills per day (never take 2 pills at the same time). Once 6 pills per day is reached, begin tapering down in the same manner that you built up to dose (i.e. reduce by one pill per day every 2 weeks until you are down to 1 pill per day). Once you get down to 1 pill per day, take ½ pill every other day (for a week), then come off the clenbuterol altogether. QUESTION: I'm interested in finding a steroid similar to Deca Durabolin (one that has few if any side effects). Do you know of any steroids that have great strength-enhancing capabilities like Masteron, without the hair loss? Thank-you for your time. ANSWER: First off, Masteron is not really known for its great strength-produc ing potential (it is more of a “hardening” drug). Secondly, Masteron, while being a DHT derivative (i.e. it is synthesized from DHT), does NOT cause any DHT-related side effects (eg. Hair loss) since it no longer retains any of DHT’s functionality (i.e. it is a completely unique compound with its own set of properties). Many people make the same mistake of thinking that Winstrol and Primobolin (because they are synthesized from DHT) still retain the same properties of it as well. This is an untrue statement. Getting back to your question, the best “strength-enhancing” drug (that is also similar to Deca) would have to be Trenbolone acetate (Finajet), Equipoise (Boldenone), and Masteron (dromostanolone).
