In 1998 I wrote a piece entitled "Steroids For Health" for an upstart little dot com company. The premise of the work was an entirely new approach to steroids which I felt would have appeal to a lot of people. The concept was to use steroids as an adjunct to natural training. In other words, instead of doing cycles which would bring massive gains that were either lost after the cessation of use or continued through longer and longer duration, steroid cycles would be modest and non suppressive bringing about small spurts of growth. Since being stronger and more muscular was healthy, the notion concurred that steroids can be used to enhance health as well as physical appearance.
These tiny spurts would essentially "supplement" natural training. The basic theory was that small gains were sustainable whereas gains of 20 pounds or so would eventually be lost because the body is always trying to maintain homeostasis and it can not maintain major fluctuations. Gains must come slowly in order to "settle in." This is what proper training (along with some quality supplements) will do. The steroids would just be an occasional "tweak." It was a way to "cheat." And get away with it.
To my amazement, this little known website became enormously popular and literally overnight, "Steroids For Health" was being read by thousands of bodybuilders. Before I knew it, I had some of the biggest and brightest minds in the industry congratulating me on a revolutionary approach to steroid use. Doctors, chemists, authorities on biology and kinsiology and even then master guru Dan Duchaine personally contacted me to say my concepts were a huge leap in the way steroids were used and would be used from there on in. It was a proud moment and it encased by place in the world of bodybuilding and anabolic enhancement.
It's been 10 years from the release of that article and many things have changed. Remember, back in 1998 the information highway was barely a dirt road. We had Dan's book Phillip's book and the WAR book and that's about it. Today, there is unlimited information on steroids. And yet, in many ways, people are less informed, or I should say , more MISinformed than ever.
Steroids For Health had plenty of flaws and inaccuracies (I addressthis in my book Bottom Line Bodybuilding), but the premise remains sound. Short, low dose cycles of more anabolic compounds will yield the most sustainable gains with the least amount of suppression. You can get in and get out and save yourself.
Of course, this is not for everybody.
The lifestyle of many gear users is one of a continual nature. 16 weeks cycles, 20 week cycles, a gram a week, up to 100 mgs of an oral a day. These are dosages only the most hardcore and extreme competitor would have used 20 years ago. It's also why we have guys in their 20's asking about HRT. A simple lesson to be had here...just because steroids aren't as dangerous as the media makes them out to be, doesn't mean they aren't harmful. They can fuck you up. BAD. So the question remains -- how do you want to use them?
Along with my premise of using juice as a boost, I also developed some supplements which I felt would benefit the gear user. Now keep in mind, I didn't just buy some pre packaged crap or throw together a few ingredients and start making ridiculous claims. This is is stuff I researched for years. And when a small online supp company asked me to design something I told them I'd only do it if it were to my specific specifications.
The idea of selling supplements to steroid users seemed chancy but I was betting on the fact that there were enough guys out there who followed the methods set forth in "Steroids For Health" and they wanted maximum gains, year round, with the occasional use of gear. And they wanted to maintain those gains in the best possible way. This is why I've spoken out against Clomid and Nolvadex and instead, recommended natural PCT in conjunction with lower dosed drugs. I was also the first person to denounce pro hormones and felt that supplements should not be shitty versions of drugs. They should be natural enhancements. this is how I came up with the first SHBG lowering supplement, UNLEASHED. It's become one of the most popular supplements for enhanced and natural alike since it'll increase free testosterone in both with no suppression. This single product outsold every other product for the company that sells it. That's the thing about experienced bodybuilders. They've seen too much crap to be fooled for long. UNLEASHED has been around for 6 years now and it's more popular than ever. I wonder where some of the other johnny come lately supp guys who claim to have SHBG products will be in 6 years.
Much like some people thought I was crazy with my Steroids For Health concept, this too was thought to be nutty at first. No clomid? Herbs that lower SHBG? What the fuck? In the end, I feel vindicated. The theories have been proven true and my products have been proven effective and I've had the acknowledgment and praise of some really great guys right here on EF, and I don't take that as anything less than a great compliment.
So if you want to use steroids and maintain a healthy lifestyle and sex life, take all the proper precautions and use what will help. And if you want to keep your gains, do the same. (Nothing better than BIG BLAST/VIGOR/UNLEASHED for that).
You have a choice. You can use these magnificent drugs in a responsible way to obtain the ultimate physique. Or you can sell your soul to the UG labs and keep taking as much as will fit in the syringe and leave your hormonal system for dead because you didn't take the time to find out how to do it right. Or you didn't want to spend an extra few dollars on a good lab and some good supplements. Or you listened to some "good bro" on a message board with no name and no credentials who told you a drug is always superior to a natural compound. And you wind up being fucked for life. It happens all the time.
Stay strong. And be careful out there.
