Synthol -The "growth" drug for morons!

SYNTHOL - A oil based intravascular substance which is being used the world over and has gained a considerable amount of hate in bodybuilding communities.  First thing to note about this is -IT IS NOT A STEROID! It simply makes you look big by inflaming the muscles. This of course is very dangerous and these guys look like retards (see above) . Can anyone please explain what looks so good about the guy in the picture? It looks like training tubes for gym rats.  Needless to say I suppose this is for the super lazy and who are probably not on any anabolics (unless you can count Cheetos as such)

Be Educated on Steroids

I am writing this post to all first time steroid users and folks who seek the help of steroids but do not know how to use them properly.

Contrary to popular belief one does not need excessive amounts of steroids to attain great size gains -actually you do not need that much at all.  Look at steroids as a supplement -because this is what it actually is.  People should aim to have a well balanced diet of at least 5000 calories (a must if you wish to grow).  Consuming a huge amount of anabolics is only going to mess up organs such as your kidneys and worse yet, your liver.  Do yourselves a favour and educate yourselves as much as humanly possible! I was too impatient and although I am not suffering any ill effects after use, I can honestly say that my gains left much to be desired.

Here is what I learned:

-Use multivitamins as they keep toxins away from your system
-Do your homework!! It helps you not by going to the biggest guy in the gym and just taking his word.
-Drink ampule amounts of water!
-Make sure your diet is bulletproof! Consume whole foods and where possible add supplements such as whey protein etc.

-Stop making excuses to not go to gym, rather force yourselves -you'll thank yourself later.

Powerful Pomegranate!

For all the health consious guys out there, read up on this:

The Pomegranate can do wonders for the avid bodybuilder! A Great way to add anti oxidants into your system and goes for about R40.00 for two litres at Woolworths. READ ON:

Are you aware of the power of the pomegranate if not let me attempt to make you aware of the power of this amazing fruit.

• Pomegranate juice is rich in antioxidants which offer numerous health benefits.
• Antioxidants are molecules that can neutralise free radicals before they can do damage thus preventing such maladies as cancer, heart disease, and premature aging.
• Pomegranate fruit has a very high content of naturally occurring antioxidants that, when ingested, should be utilised by the body to neutralise free radicals from doing damage to the body.
• The antioxidants that occur in fruits and vegetables are called polyphenols.
• Pomegranate juice was found to neutralize 71% of the free radicals it came into contact with. This is one of the most effective sources of antioxidants, better than red wine @ 46%, blueberry juice @ 33% and green tea @ 10%.
• Pomegranate juice enhances Nitric Oxide levels. Appropriate levels of Nitric Oxide production are important in protecting an organ such as the liver from ischemic damage – ie restricted blood supply.
• Pomegranate seeds are a rich source of healthy fat called conjugated linolenic acid.
• According to new research the fats in Pomegranate may actually enhance fat loss and muscle gain.
• The research conducted by the University of Houston determined that rats fed a high fat diet supplemented with pomegranate seeds gained less body fat and had increased insulin sensitivity and increased leptin levels.
• Increased leptin levels can boost metabolism- which helps burn body fat
• Increased insulin sensitivity can enhance both fat loss and muscle gain – due to the fact that insulin is more active in the muscle cells – this means it instigates muscle protein synthesis and blood sugar uptake – it also prevents carbohydrates from being stored as body fat.
•  Pomegranate arils contain – protein / carbohydrates and fibre
• Try a cup either with breakfast or pre – workout
• An average cup will contain:
• 144 calories
• 3 grams of protein
• 33 grams of carbs
• 7 grams of fibre

Screw Chuck Norris! Hulkamania RULES

Hey guys, I might get a lot of flak for this but I have to tell ya brother, all of this Chuck Norris jokes can be put to sleep by an ultimate force known as Hulk Hogan and his Hulkamaniacs lol.  I just finished reading his autobiography and it was quite a good read.  What was really insightful was how jacked up this dude was from way back when.  He is like a walking billboard for steroids bu its all cool -anybody making the argument that steroids will cause you to die young just look at the Hulkster!  Back to the norris jokes -Chuck is lame, have you ever seen the Hulkster's recent appearance on TV? The guy is hilarious, I just love how he still lives wrestling!  Go to Youtube and check out his interview wiht Joe Rogan at a UFC event...LOL!

Okay I shall stop making mindless noise now!!
Cheers

How to get the most out of gym...

There must be some reason why certain people build more muscle and lose more fat than others.
Said another way, if two equally gifted individuals start working out ... why does one make significant progress and the other looks like they don't even belong to a gym?
Is it simply a random occurrence - the proverbial, "your genetics determine your physique"?
Is it simply whoever trained harder on that particular day? Is it simply that one person had a greater desire to challenge themselves than the other?
To be sure things like genetics, opportunity and desire contribute to the outcome of most bodybuilders, but there is another factor - often unseen - that plays a huge role in determining who gets to show off the six pack when summer rolls around.
And that factor is "gym strategy."
That is -
More...In a high percentage of instances between two equally-gifted bodybuilders, the one who plays "smarter" will accomplish the goals they set.
In fact, by playing "smarter" not only will you make more progress against equally-gifted people, you'll eventually surpass people who are "genetically better" than you! (I.E. Skinny Guys can be bigger than Naturally Muscular people.)
One thing that I've been guilty of over the years and a trap I've seen almost every bodybuilder I know fall into as well is devoting time, energy and money to improving technically, but not strategically.
In other words: too many lifters try to improve our weight used without improving our use of them.
I'll give you a perfect example:
Tony has been working out at the local gym for 5 years. He's improved his lifts in almost all areas. He's stronger and he's bigger than when he started. But his physique doesn't change too much. Tony looks the same this year as he did the last 3 years. There's one guy at the gym who's body shape changes a lot, to the point he's been accused (silently) of taking something.
Why? This guy comes into the gym with a solid plan (usually pre-printed). He is immediately focused on doing the workout he planned quickly and efficiently. His stopwatch won't allow him to have those 2-3 hour workouts. He'll be in and out of the gym in 60 minutes for sure. If something is taken, he's immediately got another exercise in mind and is doing it. He doesn't seem to do the same routine forever.
So, that's what we're going to talk about during the remainder of this report. I'm going to quickly share the mental strategy that I've developed after 17+ years of bodybuilding and watching what goes on in the gym.
I call it the "How to B.E.A.T Any Bodybuilder At Your Level system. I use the acronym B.E.A.T. to illustrate the four critical steps of this winning system. Each letter B, E, A and T to represent one of the four steps...

B: BE systematic in your workouts.

In other words, come to the gym with a game plan. Have a basic idea of what exercises you want to perform - both sets and reps. Mentally prepare to do the workout. Many people will visually go thru an entire leg routine before ever doing it. Go the gym full well knowing what it is you want to do. Track your progress in a journal. Know what works for you and what doesn't. Keep the things that work, ditch the things that don't.

E: ESTABLISH control of your focus.

Concentrate and focus on getting in the gym and out of the gym. Save the chatter for later. The more you can establish control of your focus (concentrate) the better your workouts will be and the less frazzled you'll become. You'll be able to concentrate on the areas that need the most attention and less on those that don't. Better focus leads to less time spend standing around.

A: ATTACK your weakness.

Every person has a weak or lagging body part. Your job is to determine what your weakness is and improve the area it as often as possible. Do you have weak calves? Train calves with determination and not as an after thought when leaving the gym. If your chest is your weak point, then focus on it. Bring up your lagging body parts and make them a priority. If your arms
are already huge, skip arm workouts and focus on your weakest body part.

T: TRANSITION as needed.

Workout routines are great to have - and oftentimes they work like a charm. But, what happens when they don't? You go to Plan B, of course! Prepare in advance what to do if certain things are happening. I have a list that includes such entries as, "If the incline bench is taken, I'll move to the Swiss ball and do dumbbell press on them followed by push-ups."
The important thing to learn is this: if you outsmart your typical gym-goers, you'll usually surpass them. Especially if they're at an equal skill level. And even if they're genetically better than you in many cases.
Head to the gym today, but don't just take your gym bag with you. Take your strategy as well. That's your real secret weapon.
