It’s been a while since i’ve done a stack of supplements that has worked so well for me.  My goal was to bulk to about 250/260 lbs. and then cut down to about 235 lbs LBM—and those extra 20 (from 220 t0 240) were pretty easy to add on thanks to the Cellucor products.

With the right diet and nutrition it took about 3 months to add the extra poundage; i stacked M5, P6, and N0 all together for the ultimate in muscle pumps and weight gain (previously it’s taken me 8-12 months to make quality gains upto 20 lbs).

If you’re looking to make gains, or bulk up Cellucor has the right products for you; a little on the expensive side but well worth each and every cent. Note that these supplements are not for the faint hearted so if you’re going to use them make sure that you know what you’re doing-the creatine especially will give you a hell of a kick.

For folks who might want to tone down they also have a set of weight loss series.  I’ve never tried them, however i have a feeling they are will give you the results that you want.

You see so many people in the gym coming in day in and day out without making any progress whatsoever.  Most of the time its a nutrition and diet issue, they just don’t eat the appropriate amounts of food.  Having said that, supplements will always help you out—but please for heavens sake don’t supplement supplements for the food you need to intake.

This is a great article i found on the pyschology of steroids. I dont condone the use of Anabolic Steroids nor do i use them, but i am always curious about how Body Builders build that freakish cartoon looking physique – and it aint natural.
 

G’day, my name’s Ted and I’m a nineteen year-old student and tennis coach. A lot of my friends call me Jabber because of my reputation as a roider. Overall, I haven’t taken that much gear, but the average person seems to classify anyone who jabs needles full of animal steroids up their arse a roider so hence the nickname. I live in Sydney, Australia, and seeing as there are so many gays around who care alot about their body, bodybuilding is quite common in certain socio-economic circles. I have had some good but mostly bad experiences with steroids; however, at the end of the day I will jab again. This is a brief recount of my career:

It all started when I was about 16 and in my second last year of senior school when I got my hands on some roids. This guy who owned the local chicken shop that lots of the guys from our school used to go to (I went to a boys-only private school) was a big jabber – his Doctor actually prescribed and jabbed him with roids. Anyway, he gave a friend of a friend of mine a sample vile of SUSTANON 250 and I eventually got hold of it because the other guys were too scared to try it and/or aren’t as vain as me.

Once I had the goods, I had the problem of getting a needle and syringe. Compared to what I know today I had absolutely NO idea about gear and I thought you just jabbed yourself once and that was it! So I went to a chemist near my house and asked them for some needles. They looked at me strangely and re-directed me to another chemist nearby as they did not stock them. This time when I asked for the needles at the second chemist they asked me what it was for and I said I was a morphine addict. They also looked at me strangely but at least they sold me three needles and a syringe in a fit pack and I walked out of that place feeling like a full-on druggie.

That night I quickly jabbed myself in the upper thigh (I didn’t know that it was better to do it in your arse) whilst the rest of my family were watching TV downstairs. I felt like a real roid-rancher now and I did weights for 3 hours (I also had no idea about training) and then went to the pub that night and beat this big guy in an arm wrestle; of course all of this was in my head as one small jab of Sustanon would have done nothing for me at all.

I didn’t take any more roids for two years because I thought I had done my dash as a roider and I just wasn’t suited to it. That was until I discoverd that the more you jab, the bigger you get (pretty simple really, I don’t know why it took me so long to work out). I had just finished school and a friend of my younger brother knew I was a Big Bad Jabber so he asked me to lend him some money to do a course and to pay this guy that was going to personal train him. “What’s a course?” was my first reaction, but then I agreed and me and another friend of mine (who I’ll just call X because unlike me his parents don’t know of his steroid past – I’ll explain how I got caught out later) went to the gym to watch the first training session and the first jab.

The guy who was the personal trainer was the biggest, best-looking guy I’d ever seen: he had all the traits I wanted: a hot chick; he was a bouncer part -time but also had a steady day job; and knew half of Sydney’s most notoriuous criminals who just went around bashing and rorting people all day long (and other stuff I’m sure the more imaginitive ones of you out there can think of). Consequently, me and my mate went in to that first training session apprehensive and came out ready to do the biggest course of steroids reccommended for the use of “horses, dogs and cats only” of our lives. To cut a long story short we did a ten week course of 1ml a week of DYNABOL and 2ml a week of DRIVE (175mg/per week) and came out on top.

Sure, that was only a very small course by anyone’s standards but it was sensible as our first one and we had no side-effects: the only difference I noticed was my frequent annoyance at bad drivers on the road and hence I was one of the biggest “road-ragers” in the Eastern Suburbs. I ended up going from 74kgs to 80kgs with alot less bodyfat, got stronger and didn’t feel out of place at DCM (a well known Sydney nightclub for roiders where nearly everyone dances with their shirt off to show their muscles and it it so hot that sweat drips off the ceiling).

If I’d been smart I would have stopped there, but being naturally greedy (I remember a doctor saying to me later that “nobody does just one course!”) I had to jab again. I waited six months to let my testosterone levels get back to normal and then began a bigger course: a mixture of STANAZOL and DRIVE (totalling, at it’s peak, 450mgs/per week). Once again, nothing fantastic and once again I had no side -effects except for one major complication: the first time around our trainer had jabbed us but he no longer wanted the responsibility and so another friend of mine (who I’ll call Y because his parents don’t know either, lucky bastard!) and I jabbed each other.

As most seasoned jabbers know, Stanazol has to be injected three times per week because it is water based drug and is in and out of your system in three days. As a result I had alot of pin-holes in my bum (especially when it got blocked- I remember one occassion when it took Y four attempts to get it through). Anyway, after routinely jabbing on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays secretly in Y’s bedroom my bum began to get really sore on the left side and I started to get feverish shaking attacks. I rang the parsonal trainer who was and still is a very close friend who I owe much to (I will discuss this more later) and he told me not to worry and it was just my hormone levels changing. When I told him about the pain in my arse he said it was just a bit of scar tissue. Even though both these comments are generally correct I found myself shaking uncontrollably and walking with a limp: these two factors combined when I tried to get in and out of my small sports car (which has bucket seats) was I’m sure a hilarious sight.

Eventually I went to the Doctor: he said it was an allergic reaction and to stop gearing immediately. I reluctantly agreed but both complaints continued. Finally, I was in bed one night with a temperature of 40 degrees celsius and my poor parents being more than a bit suspicious (even though I instructed my trainer to wear big jumpers around my house to hide his muscles, my Dad is a shrewd businessman and didn’t come down in the last shower) and obviously worried rushed me to hospital. In the casualty ward I told the Doctors I was 18 so they couldn’t tell my parents anything I didn’t want them to for confidentiality purposes and then explained about my jabbing. They too thought it must be an allergic reaction but when one of the nurses felt my arse (the part where I’d jabbed was roughly the size of a tennis ball and all bruised) I told them “Oh yeah, and that’s a bit sore too” and they rushed me into the operating theatre and cut me open.

It turned out that stupid old Y hadn’t cleaned his hands properly one day and had got some dirt on the needle (his subsequent explanation was that he’s seen nurses on TV flick the syringe to unblock the substance inside – only he’d thought it was the needle and hence he was flicking away at it with hands that could have been up his own arse-hole for all I know!) The doctors said I was 24 hours away from death as had the infected cyst exploded in my bum, the infection would have entered my bloodstream and that was the end of it. I was very lucky.

I tried to explain away the whole chaotic catastrope to my parents by saying that I ‘d just rooted this new chick and the condom broke and I thought I caught some STD which had soehow got to my bum, but my Dad’s got into heaps of chicks and he knew I was lying. So being the cunning bastard that he is he waited until things calmed down a bit and then got one of his Doctor friends from the hospital where I was treated to steal some of my blood samples from the pathologhy unit and test them for roids. Naturally, I tested positive and my testosterone levels were over the roof, so things at home were pretty bad for a few weeks. Dad made me promise that I wouldn’t jab anymore whilst I was living at home after I admitted I was probably addicted and since I don’t anticipate leaving home until I’m 21 I will keep my promise and refrain from jabbing until then – but I promise also that I will jab again – this time safely, maybe eight weeks per year – as I truely believe that roids are beneficial in small amounts. Even the Doctors said to me when I was sick that the roids had not harmed me at all and it was just that Y watched nurses on TV too much.

In retrospect I would like to say that if you are going to jab please be careful! I was lucky in the sense that my trainer could show me so many things and I probably would be dead if it wasn’t for his caring attitude and sensibility. The one thing that my trainer constantly reminds me of is that in a way, waiting until I’m 21 is good: the more years of natural training one has behind them, the better the roids work and the less you need to have an effect. I had done two years of average training before my first course and that (along with me getting so sick) is why once again I only weigh 74 kgs and have not much more strength than I did a year ago. In contrast, my trainer, who is 25 trained for four solid years before jabbing and now weighs 91 kgs at 5ft.7in. and is as cut and hard as any professional bodybuilder after only three courses of no more than 400mgs/per week.

I hope that anyone who has read this encounter of my humble escapades will learn from it and I am delighted that this web site exists for those troubled human beings like me who need big muscles to feel good about oneself.

I’ve been working out for the past 15 years of my life.  Throughout that time i went from a lean and athletic body, to now a more bulky physique.  Before i started this web development business I used to be a personal trainer, and an amateur bodybuilder. 

I feel i have essentially been through all the motions (especially in the last 6-8 years) .I left serious bodybuilding about 4 years ago to pursue a more lucrative career, but am now starting to get back into the gym. It is a great feeling to release work tension, and see your body transform.  The main question is how to achieve you goals and benefit from your hard work day in and out.    Most of you have probably seen people in the gym with flawless exercise routines, but then after six months you see them, and you expect to see a transformation, but they look exactly the same as the did before.

I have been approached several times by men and women, who have asked me how to consistently make quality muscle gains.  On the women side they ask me how do i develop a more rounded buttox (squats silly!!) and the men are always complaining about wanting to bulk up just that little bit more (eat smart, eat big to get big)  Well it all depends on your goals – Are you trying to gain, or develop a leaner more ripped structure?  In my limited knowledge i would like to share some pointers on how to gain quality muscle in this article.

15 WAYS TO GAIN QUALITY MUSCLE MASS:

1. Eat, Eat Big, Eat Smart, Eat Healthy but flippin eat!!  Don’t be stupid and eat fatty foods that are high in cholesterol;  Instead have foods such as boiled vegetables and boiled poultry.  Chicken is great, but when it comes to red meat be careful of the saturated fats (Try and go for undercut meat) If you work out and think you are going to gain with a kick ass workout routine – Think again, no food equals no gains, and worst of all bad calories equals bad or ugly looking gains.
2. Develop a healthy carbohydrate intake.  Remember you have to give energy to you muscles for you workout, but remember too may carbohydrates will release huge amounts of insulin and turn your body into a fat storing machine.  For professional bodybuilders who store fat, that is ok because they know how to lose it as well.  (Believe you me losing fat is very difficult!!)   Eat more carbs before you workout to fuel your body, and make sure not to eat as many before you sleep..
3. Develop a healthy Protein intake.  Eat your proteins during the day and ESPECIALLY after your workout.  The more protein the better and if you ingest too much you are just going to shit it all out.  If you dont have enough protein and your muscles will look flat in the morning when you wake up.  Keep your pump by eating proteins….keep the pump baby!
4. Cut down on your fat intake.  That means no ice creams, soda or candy.  Yeah i know how boring is that, but if you want quality gains then try it out and see yourself in a couple of weeks.  I guarantee you a difference.
5. Let go of your “ego” when you go to the gym.  Leave that “ego” outside of the gym or for when you get into some nice clothes for a date or party.  Honestly its best not to have an “ego” at all, but its just human nature huh??  Yeah you are going to see peeps in the gym lifting alot of weight, but don’t worry, it’s not about how much you lift but your angle and how many consistent repetitions you do.  Find a mediumish weight, stick to it and slowly progress upwards.  Remember the “Pump” is what you are looking for.  You are not going to the gym to show peeps how much you can lift or how powerful you are!!  Btw….I know this from experience, and how wrong I was!!!!
6. Understand the “angle” of each workout and what angle is best for you.  Don’t do exercies with the wrong angle as you will hit parts of your body that you are not meant to(for that particular exercise).  For example if you do One Armed Rows with your knee up on a bench for support that would not hit the right “angle” of you back.  Light – medium weight, good form and angles = PROGRESSION to the next level, and a higher weight bracket!!
7. Try and emulate someone’s body that you like.  For example if you like Arny, buy his book and see what he says about training and dieting properly.  Watch Arny’s “Pumping Iron” and see how he slowly but steadily reached his targets.  If you do watch the movie you will understand that Arny, or any other serious bodybuilder(s) are not dumb.  Quite the contrary they are very very very smart and well educated on their subjects.  Just because they are big doesn’t necessarily mean they are dumb.  If you are big and people think you are dumb, thats great – USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE!
8. Be patient.  You arent going to gain over night.  It’s like filling up a glass of water drop by drop, and each drop is just as important as the next.  Patience is the key to success in any industry.  When the iron is hot strike and strike hard!What i am trying to say is that don’t let the weight defeat you mentally, but  rather you defeat the weight…
9. Don’t be an Upper Body Builder (or muscle builder or fitness dude).  Train your legs, train your legs, train your legs and flippin train your legs.  If you want to spur your upper body to grow then this is the right move.  How many big dudes have you seen with small legs.  That can be a common syndrome many times.  I am from Pakistan and Pakistani people lack quality “leg” genes.  Americans and Europeans are prone to having naturally natural legs.  You will also see black men with thinner types of legs, but hey them boys can “jump” like its not even funny!!  The black gene is physically the strongest gene in the world, hands down!!
10. Get 8 hours of rest on your workout days.  You need to sleep in order for you body to grow properly!  6 hours won’t cut it and you will feel “burnt out”.
11. Set short and long term goals for yourself. Understand what you want before you start working out. Consult a trainer, books magazines or whatever you can get your hands on!!  The internet is a great start.
12. Don’t think you know it all.  Talk to people about their diets and training routines.  Learn from people who you think deserve to be listened to.
13. Discipline yourself.  Mentally and physically.  Without discipline and focus you will never achieve your goals.
14. Drink plenty of water.  The body is made up of 70% water.  Without water your muscles will look flat.  Remember keep the “pump”!!!
15. Go into the the gym and train for no more than 45-50 minutes.  Develop an intense workout with medium weights (at first) with minimal rest between exercises.  Intensity will help your muscles to grow the proper way and you will explode.  For example if you are working shoulders out do your exercises with high intensity and then say “TATA” to shoulders and walk outta of the gym.  The motto is intensity and “TATA to shoulders, bi’s, tri’s or whatever you are training!!!  “TA” flippin “TA”, not looking back to see what other peeps are doing.  In and out baby!

*  Never overtrain otherwise you will feel “burnt out” too, and not grow.  You must rest your body and muscles.  2 days on and 1 day off.  Try that for now.  Every other day is also good for making good gains, but it all depends on your individual m
etabolism and recovery.  If you don’t feel like training on a particular day, DON’T, but don’t lose sight of you short and long term goals.

A NOTE ON SUPPLEMENTS:

Use supplements to help aid your body nutrition.  You should use supplements at any level.  I mean eating 5 chicken breasts can be difficult, but dowing one protein shake with 40 grams of protein is pretty easy!  The basic supplements you need are:

• Whey Protein (On, Designer Whey Protein, APN, Weider, Nitro Tech)
• Creatine (Cell Tech, No Explode, regular white creatine)
• Amino Acids (APN, Prolab, etc etc)

Good luck!!!
