Since I posted my last Dan Duchaine article, I've been flooded with requests for more stories about the guru or something from his bag of tricks. When I remembered this little gem I just had to share it with you. Now, what I'm about to discuss here is by no means new; it's one of those little things that can slip by because we assume everyone already knows it. As basic as this little protocol is, I'll bet there are a bunch of you that never heard of it. And just as many who will be grateful for it because the old saying "no pain, no gain," is not always true. Sometimes pain can just be a pain, and if you can get around it, why not?
If you've ever done test suspension, a site injection oil, Winny-V or anything with a sizable hit of benzyl alcohol in it such as the Fina you made from Finaplix pellets, the first thing out of your mouth just as soon as the stuff starts coming out of the needle is, "Fuck!. That hurts!!" It's the immediate type of sting I'm talking about, not the delayed ache like you'd get with Sustanon or any other mixture that contains test propionat. Let me tell you something, a little Lidocaine (1/4 CC of 1% solution, according to Dan Duchaine) drawn into the same syringe as the rest of your shot, will remove the sting of an otherwise painful injection. If you're running water-based drugs such as suspension or Winny V-- such fast acting drugs require daily or every other day injections- - Lidocaine could be your salvation.
Lidocaine is a anti-arrhythmic drug commonly used to restore a regular heartbeat in cardiac patients with arrhythmias. This effect is produced both by delaying abnormal nerve pulses to the heart and reducing irritability of the heart tissue. Lidocaine is also used topically as a local anesthetic to produce numbness or loss of feeling before surgery or other painful procedures, and can be injected, or mixed with oil or water-based preparations to numb the irritating effect some drugs may have. Lidocaine is valuable to bodybuilders because of its very rapid onset time and an intermediate duration of action at the site in which it was injected. Lidocaine is available by prescription, but can be purchased on the black market, overseas at pharmacies or through veterinary supply sources, and, of course, the internet.
Competent medical research has established that Lidocaine is safe even in dosages as high as 50mg/kilogram; however, as with any drug, always use the lowest concentration and volume that will still produce good results. The maximum safe dose for Lidocaine has been established to be approximately 4 mg/kg. For example, a 150 pound adult should receive no more than 300 mg or 30 cc of a 1% solution. That would be 120 preparations at one time; according to Duchaine's proposed protocol. I could be wrong, but most of you are probably not slamming that much gear at once so I don't think ODing is anything to worry about.
Those of you doing Synthol or Pump N' Pose are already using Lidocaine and probably don't even know it. Perhaps you do, but here is something many of you don't know. One day, the Guru was helping [so-and-so big-name chick bodybuilder] get ready for a show and she was having severe cramps in her calves the morning of the show; so bad she couldn't flex them for more than a nanosecond. So, Dan said, "do you mind if I try shooting some of this in your calf?" Naturally, she said, "Go ahead." Three minutes later she could flex her calf for five seconds. He loaded her up good a while later and she glided right through prejudging without a problem. Mind you, that is not transcendental science, but it is something to think about.
One little thing I heard of that you might want to consider if you were to actually go to another country and buy some Lidocaine and use it along with some kind of oil-based gear that would be legally available in that country. Make sure the "air bubble" goes to the front of the syringe before you push. Since Lidocaine is a clear liquid, it'll look like an air bubble in the syringe-- you probably don't want to aspirate that bubble. Since oil is lighter than water, you're going to want to hold the syringe needle down so that the Lidocaine exits the needle ahead of the gear. That way it will do its job ahead of the gear your pushing in after it A couple of pecks with your finger against the barrel will help it get down there. Obviously with water-based gear, this is not necessary, the lidocaine will dissipate evenly and do it's job as the juice pushes in. This is just another little trick I thought you guys might like to know about!
