Many underground overseas pharmacies selling anabolic steroids to customers in countries like the U.S., Canada, and Australia (where anabolic steroids are illegal without a prescription from a licensed medical doctor) have recently started heavily marketing and selling paper anabolic steroids. What exactly are paper anabolic steroids? Simply put, paper anabolic steroids are most commonly sheets of highly absorbent edible rice paper soaked and saturated with the steroid drug of cho... more...

While many world-famous bodybuilders began their training at a young age, teenage bodybuilding poses a lot of risks. Teenage bodies are not fully developed; even after puberty, girls and boys must still experience a period of growth before they are truly physically adults. Bodybuilding is an intense sport, and it puts a lot of stress on an adult body let alone on a teenage body. Young bodybuilders must be careful, and they must seek professional advice. Otherwise, they could seriously hurt thems... more...

Have you ever noticed that when you try on a new pair of jeans, the first thing you do is turn around and look in the mirror to see how they make your butt look? It even happens at home, no matter how many times you've worn them, the first thing you do is look at your rear. It's true, watch yourself and others and see what happens. Men and women alike all have this affinity for a nice butt, not just a nice butt, a really great butt, so we try to find ways that will give us the l... more...

Here is a scene you most probably few times in the gym. If you are not a member of "big muscle club" you have watched this from the safe distance. Big guy , lets call him Joe, is pounding out an intense set of bench presses and he is just about at your limit. Boys are around, some are amazed and some just curious to see the ending of this scene. Joe clearly wants to pack on as much muscle mass as possible and nothing is going to stand in his way. Joe is on his edge but doesn'... more...

The P90X DVD workout system is one of the hottest selling home exercise systems currently on the market. But at approximately $120 plus equipment costs, it isn't cheap. Many people who have seen the late night infomercials or read about the P90X workout system online wonder if it is really worth the investment. Most people who are embarking on a new workout regimen are not doing so for the first time. We have all tried and failed with various programs in the past. That is why someth... more...

All around us we see different protein supplement advertisements. I feel so bad to see huge amounts of false conceptions about the protein supplementation. If you've been trying to get in shape and build muscles for a while, you surely realized that all protein sources are not the same in terms of enhancing muscle mass growth.. The point I'm making here is simple. If you are after the best possible results, you will be pleased to learn than no other protein supplement is shown i... more...

We all know that smoking tobacco and cigarettes is not very healthy habit. But .... "I do workout and smoke not so much... it is not so big thing... why should I be so fanatical and quit when I really like smoking? Off course I want best results from my workouts but I take care about all other things so I will advance for sure .... I can go on smoking, build muscles and lose fat; you will see...smoking has no effects on me"! Sounds familiar...? People tend thinking in this way. Bu... more...

Times are certainly changing for society in general. Very likely you will not find the changes felt more strongly than among the younger generation of men striving to realize their identities. For decades, the epitome of masculinity was restraint and simplicity. Back then it was the man's job to earn the money, and the woman's job to spend it. For the most part men were not the ones to go shopping unless it was absolutely necessary and appropriate grooming for men was made up of... more...

As far as actually being an amateur bodybuilder, spend some time asking questions from those individuals who are also amateur bodybuilders. Amateur bodybuilding has the benefit of assisting the human body in becoming healthy overall, and can also be a great hobby. Be cautious of the trap that other amateurs sometimes fall into. It can be harmful to the human body when anything is added simply for the sake of bodybuilding itself. Most of the time amateurs require very little or nothing at ... more...

There is no one route to becoming a professional body builder and contrary to what you might think it is not just about having great big muscles. Thousands of people around the world have fantastic bodies but not many of them have the right stuff to compete professionally. First of all it is very competitive, like the modeling world. It takes more than ambition. You must really be outstanding in terms of your form, discipline and posture. You must also be really passionate and ambitious ... more...

If you hope to make it as a bodybuilder, you have to be ready to put in lots of hard work and dedication. You can't just lift weights for a week and then hope to be humungous and ripped. You have to work long and hard, you have to tailor your workouts to work for your body and you have to eat correctly. Bodybuilding training is like a science. You have to experiment with different ways of doing exercises, and with different types of diets, until you find out what works for you. When you fin... more...

Muscle building can be really easy unless you are a skinny fat guy. You know those guys who have skinny arms and legs but have a nice little pouch for a stomach. Luckily I have spent years research why exactly certain people like me and you are skinny and fat at the same time. It really has a lot to do with your training. Most people are so dead set on training a certain way that they can not see the long term implications, which is a bigger stomach and less muscle on your arms and legs. ... more...

There's nothing worse than going to the gym and getting workout advice from someone smaller or less developed than yourself. If you want to learn bodybuilding techniques, the trick is to get them from those who have developed the physiques you're striving for. You can get bodybuilding techniques from talking to others in the gym that you look up to, you can read bodybuilding magazines and you can read lots of books. However, not everybody's body responds the same way to all bodybu... more...

Most professional body builders will tell you that the most potent of natural body building supplements is protein. Protein is the building block of all muscle repair and tissue. Protein gives your energy level a boost with lingering stamina so you can excel at doing longer and more intense workouts. One of the preferred forms of protein for body building supplementation is whey protein. It ranks high because it contains all of the essential amino acids needed for natural bodybuilding. ... more...

When I started with my attempts to gain muscle I made all the beginner mistakes you can imagine. I trained too often, over trained each body part doing way too many reps and sets all because I was convinced that "more must be more effective". I spend time doing useless exercises like different machines and cables because I thought isolating each muscle is only proper way to really work it to maximum. I did everything to "feel the burn" in order to "make it grow. Lookin... more...

More than in any other area of sports nutrition, the topic of protein intake for building muscle has been a point of much confusion and debate among bodybuilders and nutritional experts. If you're interested in improving your physique you'd better hold onto your hat because the latest research on protein requirements has blown the old school recommendations right out of the water. Recent research results I studied just few months ago made me very happy. They reveal that previou... more...

Every week the media comes out with a new story of another amateur or professional athlete using steroids. For athletes and health fanatics it seems they are willing to do whatever they believe is necessary to get results, and ignore the risk involved in using illegal substances. According to studies and research, using anabolic steroids merely inflates your muscles (hence the term "juiced") and does not provide permanent results. There are also several harmful side effects of ste... more...
