Some should be legal, probably by prescription. In 1994, it was politicians who put them in the schedule of controlled substances. The AMA and DEA recommended against outlawing them. More and more research is coming out that links low testosterone in men with metabolic syndrome, diabetes...

I've never used anything hormonal other than DHEA before, but if your strength is going down on-cycle, I would think that something is wrong. I realize that strength goes down while dieting, but augmenting strength is one of the purposes of the anavar so you can conserve muscle mass, correct...

Rebecca - That is an AWESOMEly helpful answer!!!! I hope you keep those gains!!!! I think you will, if you keep eating well consistently and wait until spring to diet/cut. My current max bench is 95 lbs. 100 is my next goal and after that 105.... :biggrin: I'm in my early 40's ~137 lbs...

Very interesting post. Do you mind if I ask what your bench/squats were before starting the Bold200, just to get an idea of the strength increase? I assume your 120lbs is a maxed-out single, or are you lifting 120 for reps (how many)? Were you eating above maintenance or at maintenance...

Just a quick note for NurseSP - Have you had a DEXA (bone densitometer) scan for bone density? I'm aware that corticosteroid injections are a risk factor for osteopenia/osteoporosis. Good luck back at the gym. Over time, lifting, with proper rest, should help to strengthen your connective...

C'est impressiv!

Good work! I'm glad that you've had good results!

Welcome! You sound like you're in a great situation! For calves, try walking up stairs (like at a stadium) or hiking up/down hills in hilly/mountainous trails. Or, try sorta short bike rides (few miles) that have an uphill component. Just don't run long distances or do hours of cardio on end...

Hi LG - I studied zoology in college. Everything from ecology to biochem... I'm glad you stopped the clen and eca. I believe that it's best to do one thing at a time, and to study up/know what each thing does. Just think about that anavar telling cAMP to tell your cellz to make lots of...

You go girl! Think about the robin pulling the worm out of the ground....persistence pays off! I remember back when I was in college there were times I just wanted to stop taking classes and doing my thesis research...but folks told me that persistence is the name of the game! At the end of...

Hello LG - Measure thy results by the way clothes fit and by the measuring tape...not the scales! :garza: As long as your side effects are low, I wouldn't cut the cycle short because the 'var is acting anabolically - building muscle is what anavar is _supposed_ to do! (And the muscle that...

My thighs touched last year, and the only thing that got rid of the problem was lifting WEIGHTS (and some cardio)! The problem was bodyfat.

I think the pomegranate juice is for the antioxidant vites that it has. I would keep this (except right before the contest) but get rid of the other things, and perhaps substitute oatmeal in some cases. Would also get rid of the buns for sandwiches. Cardio seems a bit much, although it's...

Hi! Welcome!! I've lost my parents also. Each time, it happened at a point in my life where I should have been doing fun things and expanding my world, rather than turning inward (which is what I did). The first time was right before I graduated high school and went off to college...
