			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Axis Labs releases <a href="http://anabolicminds.com/store/1372.html">Furazadrol</a>. Similar to Gaspari&#8217;s Orastan A this PH is supposed to be a very dry compound. </p>
<blockquote><p>FURAZADROL is a pro-anabolic compound that is extremely effective. It will dramatically enhance the density of muscle because it does not aromatize in the body. FURAZADROL is highly valued by dieting bodybuilders and athletes because it gives a lean muscular look to the physique without fat accumulation or fluid retention. FURAZADROL is very favorable in cutting cycles when water and fat retention are major concerns. FURAZADROL is especially suitable for athletes such as wrestlers and track and field athletes who do not want to carry around excess water weight.</p>
<p>FURAZADROL is not aromatized in the body and is not estrogenic. An additional anti-estrogen should not be necessary and estrogen related side effects should not be a concern. FURAZADROL may also act as an antagonist with progesterone, which can help eliminate progesterone related side effects. Progesterone side effects are generally similar to estrogen related side effects, so eliminating them will help enhance lean muscularity.</p>
<p>Additionally, FURAZADROL has the ability to suppress levels of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). SHBG acts to temporarily constrain hormones from exerting activity and SHBG reduces the available percentage of unbound (active) hormone. Suppressing SHBG can increase active hormone concentrations in the body thereby increasing their effectiveness. FURAZADROL has a minimal impact on liver function because it is not methylated. However, sensitive individuals should still consult their physician.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Both of these supps have been making some buzz lately. Reivews aren&#8217;t really in yet but the expectations are positive.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.nutraplanet.com/product/1340/images/tiny.jpg" alt="torrent" /></p>
<p><a href="http://anabolicminds.com/store/1340.html">Torrent</a></p>
<p>Torrent™ sets a new standard for post-workout (PWO) nutrition. Though often overlooked, this part of the bodybuilding equation is the most critical aspect in the quest to foster new growth. Properly utilizing this time is vital for inducing overall muscle mass &#8220;activation&#8221;. Torrent’s™ formula is designed to maximize the anabolic “window of opportunity” that exists after a hard training session, when muscle protein synthesis can potentially be stimulated for hours. Simultaneously, the rate of protein degradation is also increased.</p>
<p>In the absence of critical macronutrient intake, a bodybuilder’s protein balance would remain negative. If you want to build muscle this definitely isn’t good. This is where Torrent™ comes into play. It acts quickly and efficiently by supplying your muscles with a powerful cascade of criticial nutrients, all in a matter of moments. After a hard workout your muscles are torn down, glycogen is depleted and your body enters a damaging catabolic state. For the bodybuilder, this is a state of red alert.</p>
<p>When consumed immediately post-training, Torrent’s™ proprietary blend of muscle mass activators rush to bring your body back into anabolic “green light” status, quickly repairing damaged muscle fibers while triggering fresh growth. First and foremost, it has super high-efficiency protein. Torrent™ is loaded with hydrolyzed whey protein, which consists of small whey peptides that can be quickly digested and absorbed. Hydrolyzed protein is the quickest digesting protein available.</p>
<p>Torrent™ also contains a specialized Osmosulin Matrix™ of carbohydrates that allows for quick glycogen replenishment and the fastest possible absorption of muscle-nourishing nutrients. This blend is packed with an optimal ratio of complex carbs from innovative, highly prized waxy maize starch, maltodextrin, and dextrose. This blend allows for a dramatic boost of anabolic insulin via simple sugars coupled with the nutrient-drawing effects of “high molecular weight” carbohydrates.</p>
<p>The formula is then generously spiked with 18 grams of a key proprietary blend of advanced aminos and creatines… A special &#8220;anabolic matrix&#8221; that will put your muscles in post-workout recovery overdrive. When consumed immediately after intense training this potent blend can induce a powerful anabolic surge that shuttles nutrients into your starved muscle cells.</p>
<p>Heightened anabolism, rapid nutrient transport, insulin potentiating&#8211;all delivered by means of a delicious post-workout growth cocktail. And we mean delicious. Torrent™ is an anabolic force mother nature never intended. Blow your plateaus away with Torrent™.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.nutraplanet.com/product/1341/images/tiny.jpg" alt="Cytolean" /><br />

<p>Let&#8217;s face facts! The truth is dieting to lose weight/fat sucks. It&#8217;s easy to gain weight/muscle mass - you just train harder and eat more - and lets face it, who doesn&#8217;t like to eat? Ask any bodybuilder though, the WORST part about competing for a show, is dieting for the show. And whether you are stepping on stage for the Mr. Olympia contest or stepping out of your car for your 20th high school reunion, it’s still all a show anyhow. Who can honestly say they do not want to look their absolute best when it really counts? Lean, taught, tight!</p>
<p>If only there was something that could help you with the major mood swings you experience while you are dieting that stubborn fat off&#8230;if only there was something that could help quell those cravings for snacking and help annihilate your appetite&#8230;wouldn&#8217;t dieting be a lot easier? Wouldn&#8217;t the success rate be a lot better?</p>
<p>While most traditional &#8220;fat burners&#8221; and thermogenic sports nutrition products help to speed up your metabolism, almost all of these products fail miserably at helping you with in between meal cravings. Most also fail to truly curb your appetite and none of them can really honestly say they do anything to &#8220;improve your personality&#8221; while you are dieting.</p>
<p>Until now! Meet Cytolean™ -<br />
Gaspari Nutrition&#8217;s new diet &#038; fat loss product!</p>
<p>Cytolean™ is truly unique among &#8220;weight loss sports nutrition&#8221; products in that it just doesn&#8217;t improve metabolism, Cytolean™ is the very first and ONLY supplement that help to improve your mood, help with cravings and in between meal snackings and help with your appetite.</p>
<p>Cytolean™ is so different from mainstream fat loss products that its&#8217; unique formula is actually patent pending!</p>
<p>Losing weight and dieting is so difficult to do successfully. How may people do you know who have tried to diet and failed miserably the first 1- 2-10 times they tried to lose that weight? Well, losing weight does not have to be a miserable experience anymore thanks to Cytolean™ - the first revolutionary and &#8220;truly new&#8221; diet aid/fat loss supplement in the last decade.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This one many people have been waiting for not only for the what the product does but also because of the price.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.nutraplanet.com/product/1334/images/tiny.jpg" alt="reset ad" /><br />
<a href="http://anabolicminds.com/store/1334.html">Reset AD</a></p>
<p>Introducing Reset AD by Palo Alto Labs</p>
<p>You spend twelve stressful hours a day at work, you bust your ass in the gym each and every night, you&#8217;ve got a wife that constantly gives you a hard time and you never seem to sleep enough. Face it, you&#8217;re flat worn out from all the stress, and the only thing that keeps you going are the energy drinks and the fat burners that you&#8217;re constantly throwing down. Like millions of others around you, you are suffering from Adrenal Fatigue, a chronic condition brought about by long periods of intense exposure to stress, sleep deprivation and overuse of stimulants. What you&#8217;ve probably also noticed is that the stimulants that you&#8217;ve been throwing down, just don&#8217;t have the same kick anymore. All those preworkout powders and fatburners and energy drinks you take just to get you pumped for your workout, and they just don&#8217;t seem to be cutting it anymore. You even wonder if the formula of your favorite product has been changed without you knowing. The formula hasn&#8217;t been changed in most cases, you&#8217;ve just become DESENSITIZED to the effects of stimulants because of poor adrenal function.</p>
<p>RE-Stim your Stimulant</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re ready to begin resensitizing yourself to stimulants, while also improving the health of your adrenal system, then you are ready. If you are desperate to put that charge back into your favorite stimulant, then you&#8217;re ready to experience Reset-A.D.</p>
<p>Introducing Reset-A.D., the first of its kind supplement, designed specifically to resensitize your adrenal system to stimulants while helping to improve overall adrenal function and aid in the alleviation of fatigue, weight gain and muscle weakness brought about due to the over-exertion of our adrenal system. Reset-A.D. has been formulated to offer needed support to the over-taxed adrenal gland and provide your body with many of the missing adrenal hormones that are no longer being adequately produced.</p>
<p>Reset-A.D. is NOT a stimulant, and has NOT been designed to replace any of the stimulant products in your arsenal. It has been specifically formulated to work in close concert with your preworkout and fatburning products as a stimulant facilator in order to give you the maximum perfomance boost in your workouts and throughout the rest of your day.</p>
<p>In our fitness crazed society, we supplement our bodies for nearly every condition. We take products to improve joint health, products to reduce cholestrol, build muscle and speed metabolism in order to burn fat. We use liver detoxifiers and anti-estrogen products after prohormone use and we even take supplements to improve our sexual function. Through all this supplementation though, we are completely ignoring the critical health and function of our adrenal system. Without a fully functioning adrenal system, we no longer have an adequate ability to respond to stress. Energy production drops dramatically, fatigue and slugglishness sets in, fat storage increases and weight gain ensues. Adrenal Fatigue is not a condition that solves itself. In our fast paced, 16 hour day, stressed out lives, Adrenal Fatigue is a self propagating condition that can&#8217;t simply be ignored or masked by massive doses of stimulant products alone, i.e. fatburners and energy drinks. Now there is a revolutionary new supplement from Palo Alto Labs designed to specificially address the condition of adrenal fatigue and the overall health of your adrenal system - Reset-A.D.</p>
<p>Give up my fat burner and coffee? Not on your Life!!</p>
<p>Normal treatment of Adrenal Fatigue requires giving up stimulants and other stress factors in our lives. We all know that this is never going to happen. We all have extremely active lives and are hooked on stimulants in order to survive. According to a recent study conducted by Johns Hopkins University, caffeine is the most commonly used mood altering substance in the United States. More than 90% of Americans, including children, habitually consume caffeine and other stimulants. It is very unlikely, especially for those of us that are extremely fitness conscious and spend long hours in the gym, to ever give up our stimulants, or &#8220;slow down&#8221; our lives. Reset-A.D. was formulated with the stimulant addict in mind. Reset-A.D. has been designed to be used in close coordination with fat burners and energy drinks in order to help blunt the negative impact that these stimulants have on your adrenal system, while working to resensitize the adrenals to the beneficial energy boost generally associated with these same stimulants. Through proper use of Reset-A.D., you can help over time to improve adrenal health and reduce the slugishness caused by Adrenal Fatigue.</p>
<p>What is Adrenal Fatigue?</p>
<p>Adrenal Fatigue is the result of the declining function of the adrenal glands and the ability to no longer adequately meet the demands of stress. Unbeknownst to most, the adrenal glands provide a very important, and often overlooked function. They are fully responsible for responding to every form of stress, whether it is psychological, emotional or physical, through complex hormones that regulate energy production &#038; storage, muscle tone and heart rate. When our adrenal glands become weakened, their response to stress becomes inadequate and adrenal fatigue begins to set in. The result often manifests itself as a deep fatigue, loss of strength &#038; endurance, weight gain or mild depression. In order to continue on in our daily lives, we compensate for our fatigue by overdosing on stimulants. What very few of us realizes is that overexposure to stimulants found in energy drinks, coffee and fat burners exacerbates the weakening function of the adrenal glands. Overuse of stimulants puts additional stress on the adrenal system, and is the equivalent of giving way too much gas and flooding out the engine of your car. As adrenal fatigue worsens, the positive &#8220;lifting&#8221; affect of stimulant products lessens until they really don&#8217;t seem to work anymore. In an Ideal world, one that none of us actually live in, treatment of Adrenal Fatigue requires 9 to 12 months of minimal stress, sleeping late, taking naps multiple times per day and taking negative people out of our lives. Yeah right, fat chance of that.</p>
<p>Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue:</p>
<p>    * Morning Fatigue. Not seeming to &#8220;wake up&#8221; until 10am even though you&#8217;ve been up for 3 hours.<br />
    * Middle of the Afternoon &#8220;Low&#8221;. Sluggishness and clouded thinking in the middle of the day.<br />
    * Burst of Energy around 6pm<br />
    * Sleepiness around 9pm, but a &#8220;Second Energy Burst&#8221; around 11pm till 1am.<br />
    * Mild Depression, Decreased Sex Drive and Lack of Energy<br />
    * Muscular Weakness and declining endurance<br />
    * Weight gain, with extreme difficulty in losing it<br />
    * Unrelaxing or Unfulfilling Sleep</p>
<p>Adrenal Function: Ignore at your own Peril.</p>
<p>Working out 2 hours a day, stuffing yourself with protein and creatine, dosing yourself with the newest prohormone or nitric oxide product, what&#8217;s it all for if you completely ignore the health of the system that controls all production and dispersion of energy producing hormones? You spend so much time taking care of your body, and supplementing all of its needs, but it&#8217;ll all end up for nothing if you don&#8217;t maintain or restore the health of your adrenal system. The adrenal glands, amongst other things, control energy production, fat conversion to blood glucose for energy, electrolyte balance, fat storage, strength of the immune system, production of adrenaline and norepinephrine as well as regulates blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Ignoring the heath of your adrenal system in favor of just building lean mass or cutting fat, is like washing &#038; waxing your car every day, but completely forgetting to ever change the oil. You may look great on the outside, but after a while your internal functions just begin to break down around you.</p>
<p>Reset-A.D. has been designed to provide the bodybuilder and fitness enthusiast with the following benefits:</p>
<p>    * Re-energize the effects &#038; sensitivity towards stimulants<br />
    * Eliminates fatigue &#038; stress caused by poor adrenal function<br />
    * Provides support for improved adrenal system function without removal from one&#8217;s daily stressful environment.<br />
    * Works effectively with PreWorkout and Energy Supplements.</p>
<p>Until now, athletes, bodybuilders and supplement companies alike have almost completely ignored the health of our adrenal system.</p>
<p>Not Anymore&#8230;. If you feel constantly fatigued, are gaining weight or simply not seeing those strength gains anymore despite hours at the gym, then more than likely, you are suffering from moderate Adrenal Fatigue. Now is the time to stop masking your stress and fatigue by simply overdosing on stimulants. Resensitize your body to stimulants by taking control of your of adrenal health with Reset-A.D. and eliminate the root cause of your fatigue.<br />
Recharge your stimulants with Reset-A.D. and put the explosiveness back into your workouts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NP picked up AE Nutrition last week. Here is a little bit of info on their products that seem to creating some buzz.</p>
<p><a href="http://anabolicminds.com/store/1324.html">IntaXcell</a></p>
<p>Boost Strength and Increase Lean Muscle Gains with IntraXCell!</p>
<p>Athletic Edge Nutrition, The Nutrient Timing Specialists, is pleased to introduce IntraXCell, the biggest scientific breakthrough in physique enhancement and athletic performance since creatine. We have scientifically formulated precise doses of four key ingredients to create a product that will work synergistically to increase intramuscular Carnosine and Glutathione levels, which boosts strength, lean muscle mass and fights muscular fatigue at the cellular level.</p>
<p>The Result: Explosive Strength and Endurance, forcing lean muscle gains, physique improvements and muscular GROWTH!</p>
<p>IntraXCell is scientifically formulated to:</p>
<p>• Boost Explosive Muscular Strength and Endurance, Forcing<br />
Lean Muscle Gains.<br />
• Increase Intracellular Carnosine Levels and Fight Muscular<br />
Fatigue &#038; Metabolic Acidosis.<br />
• Extreme Muscle Fullness and Vascularity.<br />
• Naturally Boost the Power Antioxidant Glutathione and Fight<br />
Cellular Fatigue.</p>
<p>History is about to be made once again!</p>
<p>Until now, creatine, with numerous research studies to support its effectiveness, was the leading supplement for improving exercise and muscular performance. Since creatine exploded into the sports nutrition world in the early 90’s, our understanding of exercise physiology and sports nutrition has evolved exponentially. Exciting new research has given rise to another breakthrough, one that could change the direction of the industry like creatine did so many years ago..</p>
<p>Hydrogen ions are released during exercise, causing performance to plummet.</p>
<p>When we exercise, especially when it’s high intensity exercise, our bodies accumulate a large amount of hydrogen ions (H+), causing our muscles’ pH to drop (become more acidic). This process is occurring whether you feel a burn or not.</p>
<p>The breakdown of ATP and the subsequent rise in H+ concentrations occur in all of our energy systems but H+ buildup is most prevalent in an energy system called glycolysis, which also produces lactic acid. At physiological pH, lactic acid dissociates H+ and is the primary source of released H+ ions during exercise, causing pH to drop. It is the released H+ from lactic acid that causes muscular performance problems, not the leftover lactate ions as many incorrectly believe. While lactic acid is the primary source of released H+, it is not the only source. H+ ions are also being released at a rapid rate when you break down the high energy compound ATP during exercise. With the presence of many sources during energy production releasing H+, pH quickly drops as does muscular performance, slowing progress and lean muscle gains.</p>
<p>While muscle acidity has certainly proven to decrease strength and contribute to muscular fatigue, new research is now showing that exercise-induced intracellular free radical production is another source of muscular fatigue. The combination of muscular acidity and increased free radical production greatly diminishes your performance during exercise, stopping your workouts cold and interfering with lean muscle gains.</p>
<p>Fortunately, Athletic Edge Nutrition has developed a tool you can use to combat intracellular acidity and free radical production, pushing your performance, physique and results to the next level.</p>
<p>Q: How does IntraXCell combat H+ accumulation and free radical production to boosts my strength, fight cellular fatigue and increase my lean muscle gains?</p>
<p>Much of IntraXCell’s benefits come through its key ingredeint, Beta-Alanine. Beta-Alanine effects are realized through its ability to boost the synthesis of a powerful intramuscular buffer called carnosine. Carnosine is a naturally occurring di-peptide that has been consistently and scientifically proven to DRAMATICALLY affect athletic performance when increased above normal baseline levels. How much, can Beta-Alanine increase carnosine concentraions you ask? Daily supplementation with extra Beta-Alanine, can increase muscle carnosine concentrations by as much as 80% after 10-12 weeks</p>
<p>Due to the dramatic boost in our muscles buffering capacity, through supplementing with IntraXCell, you can expect BIG GAINS in strength, lean muscle and muscular endurance.</p>
<p><a href="http://anabolicminds.com/store/1325.html">Steel Edge</a></p>
<p>SteelEdge-Full-Spectrum Pre-Workout Formula, specifically designed to take advantage of the latest advancements in Nutrient Timing Science!</p>
<p>What is SteelEdge?</p>
<p>SteelEdge is a Full Spectrum Pre-Workout Formula specifically designed to target and support your body’s Pre-Workout physiological environment, priming it for intense, focused, energetic and result producing workouts.</p>
<p>SteelEdge is scientifically formulated to target, support and optimize:</p>
<p>• Exercise Intensity, Energy &#038; Endurance.<br />
• Strength, Lean Muscle &#038; Protein Synthesis.<br />
• Focus, Concentration and Drive.<br />
• Recovery, Electrolyte Balance and Anti-Oxidant<br />
levels<br />
• Better RESULTS.</p>
<p>Q. Why is Pre-Workout Supplementation so important?</p>
<p>With the right Pre-Workout supplementation, you give yourself no better opportunity to gain both immediate benefits as well as long-term results from your training protocol.</p>
<p>Exciting new scientific research supports and indicates that ingesting certain nutrients prior to exercise may be the MOST important factor affecting performance and results from your training protocol. That’s right, even more important than post-workout supplementation! While daily supplements and post-workout formulas have their place and should not be overlooked, they have their limitations. Conversely, the right Pre-Workout nutrients target and support the physiological responses occurring during exercise, providing benefits that other supplements do not.</p>
<p>In response to this new and exciting research, Athletic Edge Nutrition, The Nutrient Timing Specialists, formulated the groundbreaking SteelEdge. Through four nutrient blends, SteelEdge targets and infuses your body with the right nutrients, taking advantage of the Pre-Workout “window of opportunity” timeframe, maximizing your training results. SteelEdge simply takes the guesswork out of your Pre-Workout supplementation needs.</p>
<p>Q: How will SteelEdge improve my workouts and give me better results?</p>
<p>SteelEdge works through its proprietary four nutrient blends, preparing your body for explosive workouts.</p>
<p>Intensity/Energy Blend</p>
<p>• Increase Training Intensity, Fight Fatigue. With research-supported doses of the amino acids tyrosine, taurine and their cofactors, expect concentrated and forceful workouts.</p>
<p>Strength/Endurance Blend</p>
<p>• More Strength, Better Workouts. SteelEdge utilizes essential Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s) with an emphasis on leucine, Trimethyglycine, and caffeine to push your strength and physical performance. Stay alert and energized long past your workout.</p>
<p>Focus/MentalEdge Blend</p>
<p>• Optimize Focus, Concentration and Drive with L-alpha- glycerylphosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC), Acetyl-L-Carnitine and choline bitartrate. These three nutrients provide the building blocks for the vital neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is the vital neurotransmitter that kick starts muscular contraction and is essential in many neurological processes, both of which are essential components of exercise performance.</p>
<p>Recovery/Electrolyte/Anti-Oxidant Blend</p>
<p>• Train Harder, Recover Faster, and Slash damaging free radicals with Arginine, L-Glutamine, Electrolytes and Green Tea Extract.</p>
<p>Q: How do I know if I need SteelEdge?</p>
<p>• Do you lack mental energy and focus in your workouts after a hard day&#8217;s work?<br />
• Are you an early riser who needs something extra to push you through that early AM training session before you go to work?<br />
• Have you reached a training plateau and need something to help you reach that next level?<br />
• Are you not getting the results you would like from your training?<br />
• Would you like to strip fat and add rock-hard muscle?</p>
<p>If you answered Yes to any of these questions then SteelEdge is for you.</p>

<p><a href="http://anabolicminds.com/store/1326.html">WTF Pump&#8217;d</a></p>
<p>By now almost anyone not living in a vacuum knows that NO2 products can support some serious aesthetic looking vascularity and muscle pumps in the gym. But there is a divided group in regard to does this result in any real lean mass gain you can take home from the gym as well? (It can if you have the right Balls to the Walls Matrix for full support)</p>
<p>What is NO2?</p>
<p>Nitric Oxide: The Muscle&#8217;s &#8220;Cell Signaling&#8221; Molecule!</p>
<p>Best research shows that sometime in the 80&#8217;s a small group of researches discovered the presence of a unique and important gas in humans called nitric oxide (NO2). Known in the world of science as the muscle&#8217;s &#8220;cell signaling&#8221; molecule, NO2 acts in many tissues to regulate a diverse range of physiological processes, many of which enhance both physique and performance!</p>
<p>Supplements that can act to increase NO2 production in the body are some of the most widely used in the world today! And for good reason. Take a look, and you will be a believer&#8230;</p>
<p>a.. Amazing long-lasting pumps.everywhere<br />
b.. Hastened recovery<br />
c.. Increased strength and power output<br />
d.. Improved nutrient transport<br />
e.. Vascular dilation<br />
f.. Type-II muscle fiber stimulation<br />
g.. Enhanced oxygen delivery<br />
h.. Better glucose uptake<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Energy to Train.but Shrink?</p>
<p>Too often NO2 products are primarily loaded with the energy stimulant caffeine. This does help to increase the intensity of in gym training, but many cannot eat post work-out due to nausea and appetite suppression for up to 5 hour post use. Caffeine is cool as are other stimulants, but too much appetite suppression is a problem when you need to pack in the calories immediately after training to make best use of the 90 minute anabolic window the body provides. Unfed muscles are like pissed-off girlfriends with your ATM card for your bank account.when they are used severely and no deposits are made they shrink.fast.</p>
<p>Who wants to be wired 5-6 hours after a 6pm work-out anyway?</p>
<p>Does it make sense to you to train hard, pump up like a breast augmentation, then deflate and lose the nutrient up-take cell signaling affect that could have made you grow.by not being able to hit calories? And if you are dieting this means the calories you do consume have an equal chance of feeding fat or muscle due to bad timing and transport nutrient availability. Duh!</p>
<p>BUT, we do need that extra energy to make the training intense enough to trigger a great pump AND do enough muscle damage to trigger the overcompensation networks that result in lean mass gains.if we can eat enough to do so. Hmmm</p>
<p>Hey, the 5-6 hour period of hunger suppression may be good for those dieting though.unless the NO2 product has a ton of carbohydrates and glucose related compounds in its formula.</p>
<p>The goal is to be able to train like an animal, pump like Mr. Olympia and grow like a mythical beast. Care to try it?</p>
<p>Meet WTF Pump&#8217;d from ALR Industries</p>
<p>Why Settle For Average?</p>
<p>First let&#8217;s get the long acting NO2 mass production matrix together. WTF Pump&#8217;d contains the optimum perfect synergy matrix containing Arginine AKG 2:1, Histidine AKG 2:1, Citrulline Malate Ethyl Ester and Ng-Hydroxy-L-Arginine Ethyl Ester. Together these compounds provide the substrates for long acting elevation of NO2 you will realize for HOURS after leaving the gym.</p>
<p>Off course we added just the right amount of Creatine Ethyl Ester, Tricreatine Malate to the matrix to support ATP regeneration.</p>
<p>Make a Scene When You Train</p>
<p>Define: in·ten·si·ty<br />
1: the quality or state of being intense ; especially : extreme degree of strength, force, energy, or feeling<br />
2: the magnitude of a quantity (as force or energy) per unit (as of area, charge, mass, or time)</p>
<p>Fact is that your intensity level is the prime deciding factor for the results anyone can expect from training. It you train like a weenie, plan on looking like one. Train like an animal.every work-out.and look like a beast. The degree of activity in your neuron-systems decide how much weight you can move and in how short of a period of time.</p>
<p>Intensity is a matter of having the attitude to never accept mediocrity. With WTF Pump&#8217;d we have provided the perfect short acting intensity with attitude matrix consisting of Cowpea, Caffeine and Schizandra. I know, does not sound like much, but making a scene when you train seems the only option left when you try it. No hype or sales BS needed. Nuff said.</p>
<p>Muscle Cell Volumizing and Insulingenics</p>
<p>Part of anabolism is volumization of muscle cells. This means that it is possible to force more nutrients &#8220;inside&#8221; the cell making them not only fuller, but supports a superior anabolic (growth) state. Naturally creatine compounds were one of the first to be noted for this use, but since we have learned that there is much more to the recipe than add creatine, sugar and water if you want growth to result.</p>
<p>Several hormones and compounds have an affect upon cellular up-take of nutrients. One of the most powerful anabolic hormones is insulin. Insulin triggers a series of cellular events that results in a micro and macro nutrient (you know, like glycogen, and amino acids for energy and growth) feeding frenzy to build from and greater cell volume. So not only do you look bigger.you are REALLY growing as well.</p>
<p>WTF Pump&#8217;d provides a state of the art insulingenic and cell volumizing matrix made up of Taurine, Tamarindus Indica, Corosolic Acid and Glycerol Monostearate.</p>
<p>What Can You Expect From WTF Pump&#8217;d?</p>
<p>a.. Servere Pumps and Vascularity</p>
<p>b.. Superior and Rapid Recovery</p>
<p>c.. Focus and Attitude<br />
Get more out of your training than you put into it! WTF Pump&#8217;d from ALR Industries is a product that lets you know it is working 30 minutes after you drink it.</p>
<p>WTF Pump&#8217;d</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is a quick breakdown of thew new PH that is making a buzz in the supplement industry. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.nutraplanet.com/product/1270/images/tiny.jpg" alt="hemaguno" /></p>
<p><a href="http://anabolicminds.com/store/1270.html">Hemaguno</a></p>
<p>Thanks to Bloute for the reference:</p>
<p>What is <a href="http://anabolicminds.com/store/1147.html">Havoc</a> / Epistane ?</p>
<p>Epitiostanol<br />
2a,3a-epithio17a methyl-17b-hydroxy-5a-androstane<br />
2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyl-5a-androstan-17b-ol</p>
<p>What is the ratio Anabolic/Androgenic ?</p>
<p>1100% as anabolic and 91% as androgenic as plain methyl-test. (Vida)</p>
<p>I am under 21 years, Can I use Havoc/Epistane ?</p>
<p>No, you are too young. It is a steroid. You could mess up your endocrine system for life.</p>
<p>I heard that Havoc/Epistane could get rid of my gynos ?</p>
<p>Please stop searching solutions on a message board for your gynos and see a doctor. This is a steroid, dont use that to clear gynos. I repeat see your doctor.</p>
<p>Does Havoc and Epistane are the same thing ?</p>
<p>Yes</p>
<p>So which one should I get ?</p>
<p>You should buy it from :</p>
<p>1) The company you trust the most.<br />
2) The company with the better customer service<br />
3) The company who brought it to the market<br />
4) The company that sell it at the best price</p>
<p>I made my choice but it isn’t my job to tell you which one to choose here.</p>
<p>Does Havoc/Epistane is liver toxic ?</p>
<p>Yes, it is. Be careful when you are using any 17aa Methyl PS.</p>
<p>Does Havoc/Epistane require a PCT?</p>
<p>Like every androgens, YES, it needs a PCT ( See below to know what you need for it)</p>
<p>What are the possible side effects from ? Thanks Krzna for this on</p>
<blockquote><p> Originally Posted by Krzna  View Post</p>
<p>Prostrate Pain: Common symptoms of prostate problems are frequent or difficult urination, dribbling when urinating, erection difficulty, and pain in that general area. Either a rise in estrogen or DHT levels from increased testosterone, etc., probably causes this. If you have ongoing prostate issues, it&#8217; s best not to use prohormones.<br />
Herbal treatments:<br />
Saw Palmetto Extract - Usual dosage is 320mg , precycled for 2 weeks prior to cycle<br />
Beta sisterol or plant phytosterols - 300mg several times daily<br />
Flax seed oil - anywhere from 5-20 tblspoons daily</p>
<p>Prescription Treatments:<br />
Proscar/Propecia – Prop is great to keep on hand if hair loss is a side, I will deal with this next.<br />
Hair Loss:<br />
This is another famous side that is experienced by people using ph’s. Here are a few products I would strongly recommend.<br />
Spironolactone 5% ( on cycle)<br />
spiro and nizoral and azeliac acid.<br />
I would highly recommend Fina and Propecia in the mix if you have hair shedding problems. If you do have Androgenic alopecia, and a genetic balding pattern, I would highly advise you not to risk this compound.<br />
Acne: One of the most common sides of using androgens and supposedly the most dreaded. Here is why, Androgen production stimulates sebaceous glands and cause them to enlarge.. The androgen-stimulated sebaceous glands produce more sebum. Sebum is a natural oil that makes the skin soft and waterproof. The oily sebum accumulates in the follicle as it moves up the hair shaft where it mixes with normal skin bacteria (Propionibacterium Acnes) and dead follicular skin cells. The dead cells normally get pushed to the surface where they are expelled. The more sebum is produced the greater the chances of clogged follicles that potentially result in pimples.</p>
<p>How to combat it :<br />
High doses of Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) are highly effective at reducing oil production in the sebaceous glands (the glands responsible for the skin’s oiliness). It is generally recommended that the you preload with 5-10 grams of Pantothenic Acid per day for one week, followed by a maintenance intake of 2-3 grams per day until cessation of the cycle. In addition, cleansing the skin with salicylic acid and/or benzoyl peroxide (found in many over the counter acne treatments) is quite helpful for acne prevention.</p>
<p>*Testicular atrophy a.k.a my balls are shrinking :Yes, this is a common side effect of using any prohormone. However this is nothing to worry about. Under normal circumstances, you will get back to your normal size after the PCT. I am not a great fan of ATD, hence my thoughts lean to the safer old school clomid therapy.<br />
Incase of extreme cases the following can be tried.<br />
Day 1 Clomid @ 300mg<br />
Week 5 Clomid @ 100mg<br />
Week 5/6 Clomid @ 50mg</p>
<p>To the best of my knowledge this has cured most cases of testicular atrophy.</p>
<p>*Puffy nipples, soreness aka gyno<br />
Most people are paranoid about gyno. Any number of AI products including Ultrahotter are available in the market today. So are prescription drugs such as Cytadren and Arimidex. Too much Cytadren or especially Adex will prevent gyno and probably a little water bloat, but it will also cut into your muscle gains by virtue of a less robust GH burst activity and lower subsequent IGF-1 levels.Some androgens increase muscle satellite cells sensitivity to fibroblast growth factor and IGF-1. IGF-1 is critical to get maximum anabolic activity from androgens. This means that androgens that increase GH production (i.e. those that aromatize to some degree) will most likely give you the greatest and most rapid gains in muscle mass.</p>
<p>*Nose Bleeds and Elevated Blood pressure.<br />
PP being androgenic may increase blood pressure via a number of pathways. Though this condition may be more severe for some than it will be for others, those concerned may find Hawthorn Berry Extract of aid—300mgs-500mgs should do the trick. However, Hawthorne Berry does take 2 full weeks to kick in. Hence preloading is highly recommended. If one encounters a situation where in an immediate remedy is called for, then Celery Seed Extract at a high dosage can be used.<br />
CoQ10 is also a very important support supplement to this cycle. CoQ10 is a fat-soluble nutrient found throughout the body, and is a vital player in the production of ATP. Exogenous CoQ10 may help to stabilize blood pressure due to its positive effects on the heart’s pumping ability, to name but one of its benefits. Typically, 30mgs 2-3 times per day are required to elicit a response.</p></blockquote>
<p>What is the dosage for a good cycle ?</p>
<p>For newbies :<br />
Week 1 : 10 mg<br />
Week 2 : 20 mg<br />
Week 3 : 20 mg<br />
Week 4 : 30 mg</p>
<p>For people who already used PH/PS in the past :<br />
Week 1 : 30 mg<br />
Week 2 : 30 mg<br />
Week 3 : 30 mg<br />
Week 4 : 30 mg</p>
<p>Pulse cycle : I personally don’t recommend it but Dr.D does so I will put it here</p>

I think to be absolutely safe and get maximum bounce-back in test levels, dose only 3x/wk and never on consecutive days, and you can reap the benefits of some extra anabolism, test production, anti-gyno effects, etc. without needing any cycle support like liver supps or PCT meds later. I use to do this with dirty compounds like dbol and methyltest as a kid, so there&#8217;s no reason it shouldn&#8217;t work extra well with something like Epi! There are more suggestions I&#8217;ve posed in regard to this on the Epi forum at IBE and lots of guys are choosing this option for their Epi use so check out the forum there for more detailed protocols and info. People are logging right now with nothing but great feedback so far.<br />

With pulsing, the serious, long term side effects of chronic oral treatment are avoided and short term side effect, like acne and mineral retention, are milder that usual. This allows for higher dosages to be used. Basically, if you dosed on an ED basis you would get 100% effect, 100% short term sides and 100% long term sides. If you dose EOD on a pulse protocol, you still get about 60% effect, 75% short term sides but only about 40% of the long term sides. That&#8217;s not a bad trade off and very economical on the body and the wallet too! Of course if you would have gained 10lbs this means you will only gain 6lbs pulsing, but it also means you can do this for 2 or 3 times longer than a normal cycle. That equals about 2 months of worry free dosing, so the net effect is a gain of about 12lbs instead of 10lbs over twice the time frame with less sides and a milder PCT requirement if even needed at all. It&#8217;s a great long term strategy and good for newer users looking to run fast, clean, cycles for 1 month with no PCT needed later. That&#8217;s how I perfected it. There are two basic approaches to do it: EOD or 2on/2off depending on your workout schedule. Doses can be high (30-40mg) but take them close together preferably before 6pm (1 dose pre and 1 dose post-w/o instead of spread out like normal) or doses can be lower (10-20mg) if you want to stretch it to 2 or 3 months instead of just 1. Dose at least 3 times per week but not more than 4.</p></blockquote>
<p>For advanced users different cycles are possible but I will not elaborate on it because you already know what you are doing.</p>
<p>Can I add any PH/ PS to my cycle ?</p>
<p>No, Havoc/Epistane is already strong enough alone. If you want to add something absolutely consider this :</p>
<p>Avoid all 17 aa methyl PS like superdrol, M1T, Halodrol, DMT…</p>
<p>Check for 4ad (The real one) (600-900 mg oral) or DHEA (100-200 mg)</p>
<p>Here is a comment from Dr.D about the use of DHEA :</p>
<blockquote><p>
 Originally Posted by Phat Daddy  View Post<br />
Yeah, it&#8217;s a solid approach. The only issue I can see is possible excess androgeny. 200mg DHEA/day is amazingly androgenic to me. It makes my skin break out more that 600mg of TE/wk would. Epi has a fairly potent androgenic effect too so stacking the two would boost gains but may cause acne or mild headaches or that sort of thing. Or maybe not, it would be a worth a try and you could adjust the doses of each if you developed sides.</p></blockquote>
<p>What supps should I use on cycle ?</p>
<p>ThermoLife Liver Longer : 2 caps/day<br />
Anabolic Innovations Cycle support : 2 scoops/day<br />
Sesamin : 1g / day<br />
Taurine : 2-3g /day<br />
Potassium : More than 1 g/day<br />
Cissus Quadrangularis : 2 g/ day ( Joints ache could be a problem with Havoc/Epistane on cycle)</p>
<p>Why not use GMS, creatine or NO booster on cycle ?</p>
<p>GMS will cause terrible back pumps and no need for pumps on cycle<br />
Creatine : Could cause back pumps also.<br />
NO Booster : Too much pump in the gym arent useful, it will only limit your workout. Pumps from Havoc/Epistane are already crazy anyway.</p>
<p>What is the best PCT for Havoc/Epistane ?</p>
<p>There is no perfect PCT. There is so much debate on this board about it that nobody will ever have the last word on it. I will post a sample of PCT then post a few links about debates on other supps to add.</p>
<p>1) Nolvadex (Tamoxifen citrate) or Fareston (Toremifene Citrate) * :<br />
Week 1 : 40 mg (Tamoxifen citrate) or 120 mg or 120 mg for 4 days then 90 mg(Toremifene Citrate)<br />
Week 2 : 40 mg (Tamoxifen citrate) or 90 mg (Toremifene Citrate)<br />
Week 3 : 20 mg (Tamoxifen citrate) or 60 mg (Toremifene Citrate)<br />
Week 4 : 20 mg (Tamoxifen citrate) or 30 mg (Toremifene Citrate)<br />
2) ThermoLife Ebol<br />
Week 1 : 6 caps<br />

Week 3 : 6 caps<br />
Week 4 : 6 caps<br />
3) Designer Supplements Lean Extreme or SNS Reduce XT<br />
Week 1 : 3 caps<br />
Week 2 : 3 caps<br />

5) Anabolic Innovation Cycle support<br />

Week 2 : 1 Scoop<br />
Week 3 : 1 Scoop<br />
Week 4 : 1 Scoop</p>
<p>Other possible supps :</p>
<p>1) Aromotase Inhibitor like ATD, 6-Bromo and 6-OXO **<br />
2) Test boosters or adaptogens like Tribulus, Avena Sativa, Maca root, Rhodiola Rosea ( Good help to boost libido during the PCT)<br />
3) Nettle root product like DS Activate ***</p>
<p>* There are different approaches and researches about SERM in PCT. TAM and TOR have each one some advantages. I recommend to read about it. Also, they are research chemicals so you have to know where to get them. Don’t ask for sources.</p>
