"It doesn't matter if you're a broker on Wall Street or breaking necks on the 50 yard line. When money is involved people will play dirty and break the rules" -Athlete X
"In early 2000
I qualified for the Olympics in the Shot Put with a throw of 68 feet... Had a baby... Inherited a brand new Ferrari and bought my first house. I was flying high. Life looked and felt good. Then I ate shit. And I mean that figuratively, of course. I got caught up selling a few things I probably, in retrospect, shouldn't have. . .I got popped. . . and then, after my release, I began drinking wine every night to dull the pain. Eventually, a glass a night turned into a bottle, a bottle turned into two, two bottles of wine turned into a quart of vodka a few times a day with a few beers thrown in for good measure. I threw away an opportunity for sure, but life kept on going as it always does."

"THE TRIPHASE CYCLE."
In this volume of the guide I'll be taking an in-depth look at the hormonal battlefield revolving around Pro-Hormone(s) cycling. For the 
most part, users look for ways to use available "legal" substances in a more complex application as opposed to the simple beginner-to-moderate user cycle. Since making my first volume available, I've had some time to research and open discussion of more possible applications with the current available compounds. In this volume I hope to reach a slightly new way of thinking about the hormonal battlefield for advanced users. These cycle methods should be viewed as an attempt at or alternative to injectable cycles of testosterone. That doesn't mean it will be characteristically the same as testosterone. This cycling method will also utilize Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its mild testosterone and estrogen conversion. Fair warning should be noted; this program doesn't take cost into account. Therefore, this method can be quite expensive. I would also like to warn individuals considering this cycle method to be experimental and to approach it with extreme caution.

In every male body a certain ratio of the hormones testosterone to epitestosterone are produced on a daily basis. In a typical male, this ratio rarely goes over 4 parts testosterone to 1 part epitestosterone. Therefore, if an athlete were to inject exogenous testosterone into the body, testosterone levels would increase, but epitestosterone would not. This would dramatically changes the T:E ratio.

The use of peptides by bodybuilders is still relatively new... so in an attempt to find out more about their applications and benefits I interviewed one of the premier research scientists at a lab responsible for their production.
In the weeks ahead I will examine many of these substances, but I thought I would start off with one of the most popular products on the market, the peptide known as Long R3 IGF-1 ...

Welcome to the first in a series where we take a closer look at steroids and peptides via an exclusive series of interviews with one of the head scientists at a major production laboratory.
First in line is Human Growth Hormone.....
So, first of all, why is Growth Hormone such an attractive drug to bodybuilders?

At first we tried "Cro-Mag," but it didn't roll well off the tongue. "Knuckle-dragger" and "Mr. Acromegaly" just seemed way too long. We finally settled on "Karloff" in honor of silver screen actor Boris Karloff, due to his classic portrayal of the Frankenstein monster.
Because the name was chosen as much for his caveman-like personality and lack of social graces as it was for his thick brow, jutting chin and prodigious use of growth hormone, the nickname (despite our every effort) wasn't taken as an insult. It stuck.

After spending the greater part of his life in bodybuilding, the anonymous subject of our interview stands at the critical juncture of his bodybuilding career. He has begun to compete at the National- level. This is a period in which many lifters "go for broke" and abandon logic for feats of daredevil chemistry, convinced that either their bodies are immune to harm or that ungodly dosages can overcome genetic limitations. Our subject is definitely more insightful than average. He has been around the sport in a variety of capacities, seen others climb fast and often go down in flames. He's aware of the realities of high-level competition but approaches things with thinking derived from observation and research, not insecurity.
