Edit

Blackstone Labs Alpha 1 Max is an illegal anabolic steroid and Black Stone labs is telling consumers they are legal prohormones.

Why it’s Illegal

Alpha 1 MAx is a methylated version of our 1-Androstenolone. This makes its stronger and more effective, but it also makes it very liver toxic. Steroids are broken down when swallowed, that’s why they are typically injected. One way around this is to methylate the steroid at the 17 position. This makes the steroid survive the first pass liver metabolism, but it hurts the liver in the process. That’s why the government made all ‘prohormones’ with a 17 methyl group illegal. To protect you from evil bullshit marketing.

What’s the Legal Version

1-Andro is the legal version of Alpha 1 Max, after all they just took 1-andro and methylated it! LG Sciences, Liquid Labs, and AMS are the main companies that make 1-Andro and I can vouch for the Liquid Labs Pr as I co-wrote the formula. AMS 1-Andro is 100% legal and I personally ran the double blind crossover study which proved it had no negative effects to liver, kidney, or any other organ system.

PCT?

With any prohormone or anabolic steroid it is important to take on cycle and or post cycle therapy. I developedRise and Swell to protect your testes on cycle and help you get your natural test back up to snuff post cycle. Additionally it’s important to use a great combination product of an Aromatase Inhibitor and an Estrogen Blocker with Form XT and or Arom X. These with Rise and Swell get your testosterone up to its highest natural level post cycle so you get to keep your gains!

What are you waiting for? Get your 1-Andro right now and don’t forget your Form XT and Rise and Swell and save yourself the liver failure alpha 1 Max offers.

Natural Myostatin Inhibitor

In this day and age, one of the most talked about words in fitness is myostatin inhibitors. Myostatin is also called Growth Differentiation Factor 8(GDF-8). It is synthesized by muscle cells to inhibit myogenesis. Myogenesis is just a fancy term for muscle growth. While the average gym goer probably doesn’t care, athletes and bodybuilders know this is a new frontier to unlimited muscle growth far beyond that of the potential of growth hormone, insulin, and anabolic steroids. Bodybuilders in particular are interested because they know that inhibiting myostatin results in hyperplasia (increase in number of muscle cells) and hypertrophy (growth of muscle cells). Research is uncovering new things everyday on this subject.

Double knockout Myostatin Mutant Whippet

The whippet above left with double knock down of the myostatin gene, the whippet below is normal in all regards.

New Research reveals…

In 2014, Italian researchers had discovered that sulforaphane had improved the survival chances of one type of stem cell is capable of developing into a muscle cell. Sulforaphane is found in many cruciferous vegetables, such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and other sprouts. These vegetables don’t actually contain sulforaphane, they contain glucoraphanin. Cutting, chewing and digesting these type vegetables converts glucorphanin into sulforaphane. Researchers have long looked at these vegetables for their cancer fighting and detoxification properties. Meanwhile, at the University of Bonn, researchers were testing pig satellite cells due to their remarkable similarity to human muscle cells. Satellite cells found in muscle have the ability to become mature muscle cells. What was uncovered in this research is that sulforaphane dramatically reduced the production of myostatin in satellite cells.

What is the Take Away Message?

Everyday science uncovers more interesting facts regarding the human body. Something as simple as eating broccoli could help millions of gym goers put on some of that hard earned muscle they have been trying to build. Who needs anabolic steroids or growth hormones when you have Broccoli? Perhaps our parents were right when they said those dreaded three words “eat your vegetables.”

Liquid Labs Eq | Legal Equipoise Prohormone Alternative

Liquid Labs Eq

Eq is the street name for Equipoise or boldenone. It is a staple in anabolic steroid cycles. Liquid Labs Eq is our latest developed best legal prohormone for side effect free growth and joint repair. Liquid Labs Eq is a prohormone to the parent hormone Boldenone. It is a 1,4-Andro and as such has many of the same properties of 1-andro and 4-andro. This means it functions like a cross between Liquid Labs Pr, and Liquid Labs Te.

Liquid Labs Eq, Like Te, is wet. This means it can convert into estrogen. Now this isn’t necessarily bad at low amounts. You need some estrogen to grow muscle, and for healthy HDL cholesterol to be produced. This protects your heart.

Additionally Liquid Labs Eq has a 340% increase on collagen synthesis. This means it repairs and protects your joints better than Deca!

Liquid Labs Eq, Like Pr, converts into 1-testosterone not DHT. This means unlike hardeners and Liquid Labs Te or testosterone it will NOT CAUSE HAIR LOSS. It is just impossible at the doses I designed the Liquid Labs Eq prohormone to be used at, 250 mg a day.

What makes Liquid Labs Eq even cooler than the maximum growth of Testosterone or Liquid Labs Te, and the lack of hair loss of Liquid Labs Pr or 1-Andro, OR the improved joint repair, is that Liquid Labs Eq turns down the amount of estrogen receptors present BEFORE it converts to boldenone. One of the metabolites of boldenone is a very strong aromatase inhibitor.

What this means is your cycle with Liquid Labs Eq may start out kind of wet as you are mass building but as soon as you clean up your diet and have less artificial foods your body will process the Liquid Labs Eq difference and it will turn into a hair sparing, joint sparing, cutter. Anyone who has used winstrol knows this would be awesome! Most cutters cause hair loss and joint pain!

Don’t be a fool, Add Liquid Labs Eq to your Liquid Labs Te for a effective bulk, to Liquid Labs Pr for a lean mass build, or get the Basic Mass stack we designed with Liquid Labs Te, Liquid Labs Pr, and Liquid Labs Eq to get the very best legal, safe, and effective Prohormones money can buy!

Liquid Labs Pr | Legal Primo Prohormone Alternative

Liquid Labs Pr

Liquid Labs Pr by Liquid Labs is the closest legal prohormone to the fabled Primo. Primo is known for its side effect free muscle growth and that is what you can expect from Pr when you take it as directed.

Liquid Labs Pr is the prohormone 1-Andro, but I dosed it to be ultra strong. A university study done in December 30th 2013 showed that 250 mg a day of 1-Andro was as strong at building muscle as 250 mg of injectable testosterone enanthate a week!  No surprise 250 mg is what I set dosing to with Pr. I want you to get the results you’re paying your hard earned cash for!

Dosing

Now if you’re a true Iron Warrior, try to spread out the 8 ml over the entire day. The label calls for 4 ml 2 times a day, because that’s convenient. You take it before you leave for the day and before you lift or before bed if you don’t lift that day. But If you can, do 2 ml 4 times a day or even better, 1 ml 8 times a day! With that approach you’re going to see the best results!

Why? Because when you have smaller amounts under your tongue more often, more Liquid Labs Pr gets into your bloodstream than if you swallow it. Now don’t feel bad if you can’t take it 8 times a day, I tried and I couldn’t do it. I did find it immediately effective however using 4 ml servings twice a day so by no means is that an ineffective way to take it.

Side Effects

What makes Liquid Labs Pr so great is the lack of side effects. The prohormone and steroid side effects you hear about come from Estrogen and DHT conversion from testosterone. But the thing is, Liquid Labs Pr does not convert to testosterone, it converts to 1-testosterone. By having the double bond at position 1 not position 4 the molecule CANNOT be degraded to estrogen or DHT. This means it cannot conceivably cause any of the classic side effects like kidney issues, liver issues, hair loss, or gyno. Side effects are possible if you overdose on it, but not if you’re only taking the 250 mg a day that I designed it to be dosed at. In theory it can cause some blood pressure increase,  HDL suppression, and HTPA shutdown but that is very unlikely at this dose and certainly insignificant on a 4 or 8 week cycle since there all return to normal shortly after the cycle.

Now if you’re still concerned about HTPA suppression (the decrease of your natural testosterone) I invented Rise and Swell to mitigate these side effects. Rise and Swell will keep your natural testosterone productions sky high so that the minimal amount of suppressions is a drop in the bucket to the huge amount of natural test you will see. Additionally you can use Rise and Swell along with Form XT post cycle to get your testosterone higher than ever before!

Liquid Labs Ma | Prohormone Equivalent to Masteron

Liquid Labs Ma

Liquid Labs Ma is the closest legal thing I could make to the legendary Masteron.

Masteron is the classic pre contest anabolic. It’s an injectable version of DHT, with a 2’ modification which prevents it from being broken down inside the muscle. This modification in theory makes masteron a muscle builder, but since you’re cutting and in a calorie deficit you’re not going to be growing muscle.

That makes that 2’ modification useless.

If you werent also running Te or Pr or Tr with Ma then it would be relevant but I designed the stacks to work like illegal injectables and that way you just use the legal Liquid Labs version instead of, or with, your usual illegal gear.

For this reason it isn’t relevant that Ma doesn’t have the 2’ modification that masteron does, you never take Ma or masteron by itself anyway! Its a tertiary compound added to a test (Te, or Pr) and Tren (Tr) cycle, because its purpose is to act as a hardener, not a mass builder. Like Ive NEVER heard of anyone trying to build on Masteron.

Ma does the following:

• Ma Increases Strength so you can handle heavy weights while cutting, this preserves muscle tissue indirectly through MGF expression mid workout
• Ma Increases aggression. THis makes it a perfect addition to your Wyked 2.1 Pre workout to amplify its effects. Yes when I designed Wyked I did have Ma and Wi in mind to eventually be taken together. All of this has been planned for the better part of a decade.
• Ma drives nutrients into your muscle. Many of you know how intricate the Mind and Muscle product line is, what you didn’t know is that the Liquid labs line is the missing piece to the puzzle. All the NON- increasing tricks I used with Rise and Swell and Wyked 2.1 was intended to help Me get to the muscle and shuttle in the carbs and protein from your diet. Its a chain reaction of swoleness! Ma drives Creatine, amino acids, carbohydrates and Halftime into the muscle making it dimond hard and ready to grow. Further more increasing the water within the cells cause them to be stronger heal faster and split forming new muscle cells with the help of Wicked’s amplification of IGF-1 function on satellite cells and cell splitting.
• Ma Like Form XT, Wi, and Eq has a built in Aromatase Inhibiting feature. This means not only is Ma as dry as the Sahara, it makes whatever cycle you add it to drier!
• Ma increases clarity of thinking and logical decision making.
• Ma may increase blood flow to the penis increasing size and hardness. Add in the extra aggression and strength…
• Ma may cause hair loss in some people. 50% of men are predisposed genetically to hair loss and those men are going to lose their hair regardless. Ma would just accelerate teh process while on cycle. Honestly you not going to lose that much hair in a 4 or 8 week cycle. But If you want to grow more hair or regrow lost hair, check out my advanced hair regrowth method.

Now like any Prohormone you need a Post Cycle Therapy lined up and a On Cycle Therapy or Test Base for your cycle. Rise and Swell is perfect for providing you both On cycle and Post Cycle therapy and supplying a ‘Test Base’. Or you can use Liquid Labs Te while on cycle for your test bases.

Regardless you definitely should pick up a bottle of Form XT for after our cycle, this is the root of your PCT.

For the absolute best results get the Mind and Muscle basic or Advanced Cutting Stack!  It comes with theAdvanced Cut Diet and Advanced Cut Workout, critical components to achieve the rock hard chiseled physique you always wanted!!

Liquid Lab Pro Series | The Future of Prohormones

Liquid Labs strives to provide the last legal prohormones that Congress intended to remain available to consumers to promote health and wellness. Their new Liquid Labs Pro Series line include the best available legal prohormones on the market today.

Liquid Labs prohormones are made in a GMP facility and these products are properly dosed to give you the same benefits of a steroid cycle without the side effects, the dirty gear and the risk of buying “fake” gear.

Nothing is worse than plunking down $180 dollars to some “steroid dealer” in the gym, only to find out a few weeks into your cycle that it’s bunk and fake.  Don’t believe it doesn’t happen my friends because it happens all the time. Sadly, steroid dealers don’t give refunds either!

Liquid Labs Te

Testosterone Enthanate is the steroid of choice for men who use illegal steroids to help them look and feel their best.  We can’t of course sell this due to it being a Schedule III Anabolic Steroid in the US.

Can Liquid Labs Te equal the potency of 1000mg of Testosterone Enthanate a week?  No, but we hope to give you the benefits of a SANE steroid cycle without the side effects, the dirty gear and the risk of buying “fake” gear.

Liquid Labs Te is made in a GMP facility and gives your body the prohormone to Testosterone and preliminary studies show that this prohormone can rival a Testosterone Enthanate injection of 500mg per week.

Testosterone is the parent male hormone and is the most important hormone for building muscle, staying lean, and feeling like a man!

Testosterone is necessary for sexual function and is a must in any cycle, it forms your ‘testosterone base’.  This “base’ eases side effects and gives your body much needed supporting hormones on a cycle to help you grow!

Testosterone is vital for a healthy male body and studies have shown men to be deficient in this hormone due to the massive amounts of chemicals in our diets.

You need your testosterone base for general health and sexual function and to preserve muscle tissue. Many people make the mistake of taking a prohormone like DMZ or other banned substance thinking that adding this to their body will have only the effects listed on the bottle. What scantless marketers don’t tell you is that as you add prohormones to your body, your natural test production decreases. This is why you need a ‘Test base.’ alone or stacked with other prohormones.

Liquid Labs Te is that “test base” in the form of its prohormone!  This prohormone converts into testosterone in your body!

Adding Testosterone to a cycle gives your body what it needs to function and be healthy, and for that reason Liquid Labs Te needs to be in every cycle!

“Test is best” for growth, nothing puts on mass like testosterone.  And this is another reason you want this in every growth cycle!
Skip the illegal dealers with their “bunk” bathtub brewed steroids and stick with the best legal prohormone to Testosterone still left on the market.  Make Liquid Labs Te part of your cycle or use it alone to give you the benefits of increased Testosterone.

Liquid Labs Pr

Liquid Labs Pr is the prohormone to 1-testosterone. Pr is powered by the King of Prohormones, 1-Andro!

We’re calling it Liquid Labs Pr because it reminds me of Primo; Side effect free muscle growth!

If you can find someone to sell you injectable Primo and it’s actually what is claimed on the bottle, consider yourself lucky.  Real Primo is so rare you usually just get test or deca in a bottle labeled Primo.

Primo is prized for lean gains that are relatively free from side effects.

Liquid Labs Pr is a legal prohormone that the US congress permits for men to use to help them look and feel their best.  It’s the last legal pathway for men to achieve “steroid like gains”.

A cycle of Primo would likely cost you well over $500 and you won’t know if it’s “real” for at least 2 weeks.  Liquid Labs Pr can give you very similar effects and it’s made in our GMP facility, so you know it’s “real” and you don’t need to worry about getting “bunk” gear.  (Trust me it happens more than you care to know.)

Primo is the holy grail of anabolics but it’s not cheap, which is why it is so hard to get on the black market.  It grows muscle and has very little down sides. Obviously if you take way too much you can suppress your natural testosterone production, but that’s why you use either Te to give yourself a ‘test base’ or you use Rise and Swellto increase natural testosterone  production on cycle.

The directions are written to guarantee you have minimal downsides.  I ran the double blind clinical trial on the parent compound 1-Andro myself and it had no reported side effects or blood work alterations in any of the test subjects.

Liquid Labs Pr does not convert into estrogen or DHT, that’s how we avoid all the common side effects you get with testosterone overdose.

You won’t likely see gynecomastia, hair loss, aggression, sexual dysfunction (unless it’s in your head), blood pressure changes or heart damage like you would with illegal steroids or testosterone. Once again that’s with the recommended amount, if you overdose on it I can’t predict the outcome, I myself have used 4 times normal dose with no problems (1000 mg a day).

So if you want something which you can add to any cycle or  use by itself, be it mass or cutting,  use Liquid Labs Pr!  It will put on rock hard mass when your calories are high (mass building) and it will spare your muscle from certain death when your calories are low (cutting).

Liquid Labs EQ

Liquid Labs Eq is the prohormone to, you guessed it, EQ!

Equipoise is expensive and hard to find on the black market.  Nothing is worse than plunking down $180 dollars to some “steroid dealer” in the gym, only to find out a few weeks into your cycle that it’s bunk and fake.  Don’t believe it doesn’t happen my friends, because it happens all the time.  Sadly, steroid dealers don’t give refunds either!

EQ aka Equipoise aka Boldenone is the best wet anabolic you can use to ease joint pain, increase hunger and provide lean gains.

When you’re trying to grow, a wet prohormones is best because some of it converts into estrogen and that helps you build muscle (red words are hyperlinks and take you to explanations). Other metabolites are the extra potent 1-testosterone (final product of the Liquid Labs masterpiece Pr) and an Aromatase Inhibitor. This means the longer you’re on Liquid Labs Eq the dryer your whole cycle gets despite Eq itself being ‘wet’…

Eq is what bodybuilders use while growing to get nearly the size benefits of testosterone without losing their hair.  Never have I seen a professionally written cycle that didn’t match testosterone mg for mg with Eq. If all the pros are wrong, how do they look so big?

Eq is often used in place of “Deca” because it’s great for the joints and gives a nice slow and steady gain, with little to no side effects.
Use Liquid Labs Eq if you want to get big without hair loss all while increasing appetite and easing joint pain.  After your cycle, take a course of Rise and Swell to boost up your natural testosterone production.

Liquid Labs Ma

Masteron is a prized anabolic steroid by many of the top pro’s because it helps them cut up and shed water, all while boosting strength.

Much of the masteron on the market is “fake” or “bunk” gear.  Nothing is worse than plunking down $180 dollars to some “steroid dealer” in the gym, only to find out a few weeks into your cycle that it’s bunk and fake.  Don’t believe it doesn’t happen my friends because it happens all the time.  Sadly, steroid dealers don’t give refunds!

Ma is what you need to get shredded like the top pros. It makes your muscles diamond hard and your skin paper thin. Ma is the closest legal prohormone equivalent to masteron, which is used to get super lean before a show or a cut cycle along with Wi, Pr, and Tr, the Liquid labs prohormone analogs for Winstrol, Primo,  and Trenbolone.

Ma has special properties that aren’t dominant with Te or testosterone:

*Ma makes you stronger

*Ma burns fat directly at the fat cell

*Ma inhibits the aromatase enzyme, like arimidex or letrozole. This helps prevent gyno when added to a wet cycle

*Ma makes you more alert

*Ma may cause hair loss in 50% of men, the men who are going to lose your hair anyway,

*Ma may cause shutdown so make sure you have PCT ready.
Like any steroid or prohormone, Ma can shut down your natural production, so it’s wise to use something like Rise and Swell for PCT (many people use it on cycle too to keep their test levels high).

Liquid Labs Wi

Wi is the closest legal prohormone to Winstrol.  Winstrol is a famous cutting oral used by bodybuilders to maintain their mass while carving off fat with the added benefit of increased strength. It’s this increased strength that is key to preserving your muscle, you have to lift the same weight for the same reps or better while cutting than you did in the offseason or you lose muscle.

Winstrol is unique because it doesn’t cause anger or aggression on a cycle and Wi is very similar in its effects.

Much of the “Winny” on the market is bad news.  Nothing is worse than plunking down $180 dollars to some “steroid dealer” in the gym, only to find out a few weeks into your cycle that it’s bunk and fake.  Don’t believe it doesn’t happen my friends because it happens all the time.  Sadly, steroid dealers don’t give refunds either!

Many of you have heard that winstrol causes joint pain? Not Wi.  Winstrol has the special ability to stop cortisol from being released from the adrenal cortex. Wi does not have this problem, it blocks cortisol from binding to muscle eating it away, but not from binding to the joints and reducing the inflammation from hard lifting! This makes it better in theory since you’re dodging the bullet on the worst side effect of winstrol.

Winstrol has been known to cause hair loss in about 50% of men, the same 50% that were going to lose their hair any way, but Wi is dosed appropriately enough that a 4 or 8 week cut cycle will cause minimal hair loss if any, even if you’re the genetically predisposed 50%.
And after your 4 or 8 week cut with Wi you may benefit using Rise and Swell post cycle for 4 weeks.  This returns any loss of natural testosterone back to normal or above!

Leptin Hormone

What You Probably Knew

The Leptin hormone is a recently discovered hormone. It is well known for its role in hunger and energy balance. Leptin is released by happy fat cells when they are full. This signals the brain not to respond to Ghrelin, the hunger hormone. Up until the discovery of Leptin people (even me) thought that fat cells we just storage cells, not used for anything or certainly not an endocrine organ.

What you probably didn’t know is leptin is produced by multiple parts of the body and has receptors in other areas than just the hypothalamus!

Science!

A gene was discovered that when absent, mice ate voraciously and got super fat. This gene db, encodes for the leptin receptor on the hypothalamus. Thus if your born without this gene you don’t transcribe or translate the receptor and thus there is no where for leptin to bind and Ghrelin acts unopposed. Thus it’s clear that Leptin binding to the leptin receptor on the hypothalamus inhibits voracious eating. There are 8 mutations to the Ob(Lep) gene. It’s located on Chromosome 7 and the most recept mutation was discovered in 2015. All mutations cause this receptor not to bind Leptin and the subjects are incredibly obese from voracious eating.

Now the key to helping people resist overeating would be to either:
1) Increase natural Leptin production
2) Increase leptin receptor density on the hypothalamus
3) Administer a leptin supplement/Prohormone
4) Decrease ghrelin release
5) Decrease ghrelin receptor density
6) Administer a ghrelin receptor blocker

Now 4, 5, and 6 suck because we need the Ghrelin receptor to get maximal Growth Hormone release, and it’s the binding site for the Marus Alba in Wyked 2.1, Rise and Swell, and Nocturnus to give your along with Kudzu binding to the GHRH receptor 3 distinct mounting synergistic growth hormone spikes which keep you burning fat all day long. and of course Growth Hormone slows aging, for those of you who want to age as slow as I do.

The illegal drug family that bind to this site are the GHRP family. Read my incomplete guide on Growth Hormone Secretogogues here!

Leptin is not only produced in Adipocytes!

Leptin is produced primarily in the adipocytes of white adipose tissue. It also is produced by brown adipose tissue, placenta, ovaries, skeletal muscle, stomach (the lower part of the fundic glands and gastric chief cells), mammary epithelial cells, bone marrow, pituitary, and liver.
How Leptin Makes You Less Fat

Leptin Levels fluctuate wildly with different body fat levels. As body fat increases the leptin levels increase exponentially. This is noticed by bodybuilders post contest. For a week or so you simply can’t eat enough junk food, then eventually when your at about your set weight or set body fat % (which I think is a more accurate term than set weight) you are no longer hungry.

Leptin levels are quite high during the second half of sleep. This likely prevents you from waking up in the middle of the night hungry when your insulin levels are the lowest and you’re burning a great deal of fat. Obese people with obstructive sleep apnea produce less leptin overnight than those with a Cpap (positive airway pressure) machine. This implies that getting a good night sleep is necessary for fat regulation and appetite suppression. This confirms the urban legend that you need 6 continuous hours of sleep to get leptin release, and those who don’t gain body fat over time due to increased appetite through the next day.

Leptin is increased by insulin which makes sense, if your body is storing fat there would be no reason to be hungry.

Just like ghrelin makes you target high calorie foods, Leptin allows you to resist those high calorie foods and make wiser choices. Leptin levels in the short term have more to do with calorie intake levels then actual amount of body fat. Thus diets higher in calories and higher in actual exercise are emotionally less difficult than a low exercise, low calorie diet. The lack of calorie intake causes leptin levels to decrease allowing Ghrelin to push you into eating more fattening foods. And I for one feel guilty as fuck when I cheat on my diet. Ok, not that guilty. Like I almost stepped on a worm guilty. Not ran over a racoon guilty. Poor racoon:(

Leptin doesn’t just act on the brain to adjust hunger, it also acts on multiple tissues in the body to regulate energy metabolism and all hormones, namely Insulin, Glucagon, Growth Hormone, Insulin like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) and glucocorticoids like cortisol.

Leptin Diet

Leptin is a hormone that is released from fat cells when they are happy. When calorie intake is sufficient for daily energy needs the fat cells release leptin to stop food cravings. The key to having high leptin is keep your calories high and use a ton of exercise to drive yourself into a calorie deficit. The Leptin Diet has nothing to do with this, its just another fad diet designed to get you to buy appetite suppressants off this person’s web site.

Fad diets like the Leptin Diet have been popping up for decades. Some of them rely on a concept, like low carbs, others on timing like intermittent fasting. All diets have 3 components; the food (Blood Type, Paleo) , how much (Atkins, Keto), and when (Carb Back Loading, Intermittent Fasting). Not all fad diets account for these 3 variables. For instance the Atkins diet is a zero carb diet, but does not take into account how much food you eat or when you eat what. SHTUPID!

Most importantly not all diets are right for all goals: any diet will work to get a sedentary out of shape person less fat, but few of these diets are acceptable for anyone who wants to look good naked.

If you want a diet to get you as close to perfect as your genes will allow, use either my free 30 day transformation diet or one of my Advanced Meal Plan: Advanced Mass Meal Plan or Advanced Cut Meal Plan.

And to get the best results either use one of the plethora of free workouts or use my Advanced Cut Training or my Advanced Mass Training.

The Leptin Diet

This is nothing special, just general guidelines on how to not get fatter and to gradually make yourself smaller, not necessarily drop your body fat below normal. With one of these basic Mickey Mouse diets you can get down to about 20% body fat for men and 30% for women, then as you lose fat you lose muscle with it, so you get smaller and lighter but don’t get leaner, (lower body fat). To do that you need to lift weights and probably eat a little more sophisticated.

It’s completely asinine to call this diet the “Leptin Diet” Leptin is a buzz word in the media and this guy Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist is just cashing in on his books on leptin with diet guidelines like any clever marketing department would do, slap his name on some bullshit and give him a check for it.

Leptin is the hormone which is released by your fat cells when your calories are high enough so that your not craving high calorie foods. as lipid drops cravings increase. the premise of this diet is it keeps leptin high and thus you’re less likely to cheat on your diet.

What are Prohormones?

Its incredible how many people think they know what pro-hormones are but have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE. Of course these are the most difficult and argumentative haters on the web. Not 1 hour after posting Best Prohormones of 2015 haters had to post false claims that pprohormonesare more dangerous than real steroids and your better off using real gear.

The reason why they are saying that is the drugs SOLD AS pro-hormones are actually methylated oral anabolic steroids, the worst kind with the exception of birth control. Mithras, DMZ, Methylsten, Trenavar, and many more are just steroids sold under a different name to trick consumers and authorities. The reason why these methylated steroids are bad is the methylation damages the liver. Oral steroids are far more dangerous than injectable, but real prohormones are the safest way to go: with a sub-lingual (under the tongue) delivery you don’t need methylation because they are not oral.

What are Prohormones?

Pro-hormone is something that gets converted into a hormone in your body. Hormone means signal. The hormones you’re after burn fat or build muscle, male steroid hormones do both. Steroid hormone is a hormone made from cholesterol. Typically pro-hormone is really pro-testosterone or pro-DHT, the 2 most abundant naturally occuring male steroid hormones. The steroids sold as prohormones are not pro-, they are just active steroid hormones.

It is illegal to sell hormones, it is only legal to sell something that is:

1) Not an active hormone

2) something that naturally occurs in the body.

Prohormones for Stocky Guys

Previously I have covered How a Skinny Guy should eat, train, and what prohormones to take in the articlesProhormones for Skinny Guys, Mass Meals for Skinny Guys, and Mass Building for Skinny Guys. This is the first of three articles covering how the opposite, a Stocky Guy should go about getting leaner or gaining lean mass.

Body Types

Ok, Not everyone agrees that there are body types. I’ll tell you what I think I know and if you don’t like it….

EndoMorph – This is the shitty one. The characteristics are wide hips, wide clavicles, slow metabolism, short, with what I see as estrogen imbalance in men, and PCOS as a final product or diabetes in women. There are no advantages to this but the frame is perfect for heavy weight. This is the body type which is ideal for POWERLIFTING

MesoMorph – This is the great one. You should wish you die and come back as one of these, or a super hot chick’s sex toy. Big muscles, low bodyfat, masculine features, testosterone dominant and all the glorious advantages, medium height and hips. Structure is Aesthetic but durable. Either beautiful or rugged depending on a few other factors and how you eat and train. This is an attractive body type to women, and it elicits a involuntary sexual response in a lot of them. This body type is best for being a BODYBUILDER. Anabolics and prohormones work in a nutshell by making you as mesomorphic as possible. Your bone structure is fixed but your metabolism and face aren’t.

EctoMorph – This is the pretty one. This body type is very attractive on women. Narrow hips, narrow clavicles, long limbs, long torsos, slight joints which hurt when heavy weight is used. I believe they have an issue secreting insulin and thats why they gain weight so slow and have such a fast metabolism. This is the Ideal Body type for MEN’s PHYSIQUE.
So the Idea is to be as close to the middle (meso) as possible, since that’s the balanced one.

Endo – High Test, High Estrogen, Insulin Secreting

Meso – High Test, Low Estrogen, Insulin Sensitive muscles

Ecto – Moderate Test, Low estrogen, minimal Insulin

The More testosterone the more muscular and masculine you will look. The more estrogen the fatter you get in theory, but estrogen also helps the muscle growth process. (click here for more on that).
The endomorph needs to reduce his estrogen and insulin if he wants to lose fat or even put on lean mass. The reason why the process is so hard is the endomorphs GI system is what develops first during embryogenesis. During the first couple weeks of pregnancy the cells of the dividing and replicating fertilized egg divide into 3 different layers, the ecto, endo, and meso layers. The meso develops first in a mesomorph, it is the one which generates the muscles and skeleton. The ecto layer develops first in the ectomorph, this is skin, hair, eyes, and nervous system. The endo layer, the one that develops first for the endomorph, is the Gastro Intestinal (GI) system. Since this is the dominant system it is very very good at getting the most out of what an endomorph eats. More nutrient absorption results in better storage and growth, because more of what an endomorph eats makes it to his blood, more insulin is released. As i mentioned in my Insulin Sensitivity article the higher the insulin the higher percentage of consumed calories get stored as fat. the higher the body fat the higher the insulin resistance of the muscles and the great the % of calories that go to fat in an ever increasing downward spiral. The second downward spiral is as fat levels rise more of the testosterone produced gets converted to estrogen and the higher the estrogen levels the more fat is stored. so its exponentially detrimental every 5 lbs of fat you gain, with both mechanisms it makes it a very steep slope indeed to ever increasing body fat.

To combat this one needs to eat very few carbohydrates and keep his metabolism up through proper diet and training which i will discuss in the other articles pertaining to Stocky Guys.

The Prohormones the stocky guy uses should be dry not wet to avoid the possibility of estrogen conversion.

Prohormones for Stocky Guys

Kind of how the Skinny Guys want to get big, and should use the classic mass building cycle, a Stocky Guy should want to minimize the amount of fat that he gains while lean mass building and has to use every trick under the sun to get the fat off while cutting. As I mentioned above they have the perfect hormones for growth, high testosterone, estrogen, and insulin. All three of these build muscle, but estrogen and insulin also build fat. Because they have high levels of all three gaining weight for them is super easy, but the weight will never be all muscle no fat and water without some hormone manipulation. Most of the principles that apply to a stocky guy or endomorph also apply to women, but of course women shouldn’t play around with male hormones.

Cheap Prohormone Cycles

Everyone wants to save some cash without passing up the oppoturnity to grow! We are listing the most inexpensive ways to bulk, then cut then run a PCT. Each of these cycles are 4-6 weeks and can be extended to 8, but I suggest 8 weeks bulk, 4 weeks cut, 4 weeks PCT, then coast for a month before starting the process over. Here we go!

Bulking

For this you want wet prohormones because estrogen helps you grow! For more on that click here. These cycles are not for fat loss or strength, they are for filling your muscles with water and lubricating your joints so you can handle tons of volume with heavy weights without your body taking damage, and of course growing more muscle. Wet cycles are the healthiest and a lot of women prefer the puffy look to the hard chiseled look, so you’r not doomed to a super horny dry spell. When I think I look my worst at the height of an off season I get tons of compliments, just from different people than pre-contest.

Step One : Testosterone Base

4-Andro Is the test base for a cheap prohormone cycle

4-Andro is the prohormone to testosterone it is not methylated and not toxic. It will have all the same POTENTIAL side effects of normal testosterone. These side effects come from estrogen and DHT. These are what testosterone turns into. Estrogen in addition to the muscle building properties also help with sex drive, cholesterol, joint,and bone health but cause water and fat gain. Intramuscular fat stretches the fascia, facilitating growth mechanically and by increasing hydraulic pressure in the fascia you can handle more weight and thus are technically stronger and will grow faster that way as well. It can cause breast growth called Gynecomastia but if DHT is in proper balance this shouldn’t be a problem. DHT causes aggression, instant strength, Sexual function and sensation/pleasure. This is the best cure for female sexual dysfunction, women orgasm super easy on winstrol or Anavar, both DHT derivatives. Of course, DHT is the main masculinizing hormone, so men may lose hair and get acne, women may become men over time. But Anavar is so popular because women can use 5-10 mg a day and suffer no side effects, just have crazy sex drive, orgasms, increase in fat loss and the plethora of other great thingsAnavar does. The closest legal thing to Anavar is Epi-1-Test.

Thus to maintain sexual function you have to have some testosterone estrogen and DHT, not a lot but some. For this reason every cycle MUST have either a test base (4 AD) or a natural booster like Natadrol or Rise and Swell. Since for growth “test is best” and this is a bulking phase you should use 4-Andro!

If you’re prone to gyno use either Natadrol or Rise and Swell instead. Rise and Swell is a natural test booster and sexual enhancer and Natadrol is 4 chinese herbs 2 for natural test boosting, 1 is a SARM, and the last strengthens your joints, your bones, is an adaptogen, and a cortisol blocker and a nutrient partitioner.
