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.

Should I use Prohormones?

Prohormones are a legal alternative to anabolic steroids. What’s the difference? A prohormone is converted chemically in your body into a steroid. You’re probably reading this because you’re asking yourself are prohormones right for me?

Should I use Prohormones?

Prohormones are a great choice for men who have never used steroids or who have not used steroids in 3 months. They are for men who are over 21 and are trying to get the most out of their workouts. They are not for women, men with hypertension, kids under 18, people attempting to have children currently, or men with cardiovascular risk.

Here at Mind and Muscle our prohormones will likely have no side effects. Nothing is methylated so they aren’t liver toxic. If you’re eating enough then your liver enzymes don’t rise as you’re not burning muscle for fuel. Hair loss is possible for people who are going to lose their hair anyway if you’re taking a prohormone which is for cutting or strength. These are DiHydroTestosteone Prohormones, or DHT. They don’t build muscle but they are great to add to cycle with a testosterone base. Cholesterol levels may be altered during cycle but return to normal after the cycle is over. no one gets heart disease in 8 weeks:)

Liver enzymes ALT and AST, BUN and Creatinine are misunderstood by doctors in athletes, they simply dont see hard working people that often, most of their normal values come from elderly people and people with diseases) not bodybuilders. Olympic athletes often have elevated enzymes because of hard work results in burning protein for fuel sometimes so ALT, AST, BUN, Creatinine are all from muscle damage from hard training, something normal people don’t do.

Testosterone

Testosterone is the parent male hormone. It converts into DHT which we discussed above and Estrogen. All the side effects of Steroids and prohormones come from DHT or estrogen.
You need testosterone for pretty much every cell in your body. You always need testosterone for sexual function so you must have it. Either your prohormone cycle must be with a prohormone that causes little to no shutdown, like 1-Andro, or you have to run a testosterone base such as 4-andro or a natural test booster like Rise and Swell or Natadrol.

1-Andro does not convert to DHT or Estrogen. It just builds muscle, like testosterone , only side effect free. In some it causes mild shutdown others it doesn’t. But this is the second thing you add to a cycle: your Anabolic hormone.

Women and Prohormones: A Physician’s Opinion

Women and Prohormones A Physician’s Opinion By Todd Lee M.D.

Every day I have a woman contacting about if prohormones are right for her….No. Prohormones are cholesterol based compounds that either convert to testosterone in the human body; which is the parent male hormone, or a modified version of it. Women use estrogen and progesterone as their main sex hormones and in many ways they are opposite than male hormones. Women are made from sugar and spice and everything nice:) Men are made of dinosaur piss and the Devil’s toejam, we kick ass and take names and get yelled at by our significant others for being a total asshole because we are full of testosterone. Like liquid fire.

Why Not Todd?

You see, all humans start as female. That’s why you’re a whiny little girl on the inside and you don’t want people to know, because you actually WERE a girl for about 12 weeks. Male hormones are released if you have a Y chromosome during embryogenesis. The SrtY gene on the last chromosome is what makes your fetus shape change from having a vagina to a penis.

Thus when an adult woman takes MALE hormones she begins the process of MASCULINIZATION that did not occur when she was 12 weeks old because she had 2 X chromosomes not 1 X and 1 Y.

If you’re not worried about having a deep voice, or hair loss, or aggression, or an enlarged clitoris then have at it!

Why Should I Todd?

Honestly, If i was a woman I would definitely use prohormones. Aside from the fat loss, clearer thinking, increased strength, and if you train for it, increased muscle size, the clitoral enlargement is PERMANENT and for ever after the woman can orgasm easier.

While on cycle women can’t control the male sex drive, In my experience. These women are just overwhelmed and can’t get enough sex. Even on a very, very low dose the sex drive is so much higher than anything they could possibly have with the minimal amount of testosterone a woman produces that they get to FINALLY experience what its like to be a man (total hell). Many became quite sympathetic for what we men go through. Why is this a good thing? Instant orgasm. Women orgasm as soon as it goes in and the Os keep rolling for as long as a guy can last (enter Rise and Swell).

Ladies, If you don’t like sex then DEFINITELY check it out, it will change your mind!

Now i have seen this with Anavar which is harmless and does not cause any other features of masculinization with doses 5-20 mg/day. Epi-1-Test is the closest thing to anavar that is legal.

I have seen more masculinizing effects from the injection of winstrol than anavar. When a girl shoots Winny which is an old school trick, They do get some more masculine subtle changes. so don’t do this.

Natadrol is not a prohormone per say and is popular with women, a low dose such as 2 or 3 caps a day should be fine for women for 4 weeks, then evaluate your voice. If its cracking like a 13 year old boy then it will adjust back to a feminine register in a few months. If it’s deeper its actually sexier assuming its not cracking. Obviously if your voice starts cracking cut your dose in half and if it doesn’t go back to non cracking in a week then just accept androgens are not for you:(

1-Andro is a good choice for putting on mass but not getting masculine. It will bind to the androgen receptor like test but there is no DHT, so masculinization is nearly impossible. This I would use at half dose and again evaluate after 4 weeks.

Estrogen Blockers

Estrogen Blockers are a frequently misused term. Most people use the term ‘Estrogen Blocker’ and ‘Anti-Estrogen’ interchangeably but they are not the same, a blocker is a form of anti-estrogen but there is another form, aromatase inhibitors.

Estrogen Blocker literally means to block the estrogen from binding to the receptor, and therefore only SERMS or Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators are estrogen blockers. It does not mean to stop estrogen from being produced or to remove it from the system. To stop estrogen from being created by the aromatase enzyme from testosterone you need an aromatase inhibitor (AI), not an estrogen blocker.

Tamoxifen, prescription name Nolvadex is my absolute favorite illegal Estrogen Blocker or SERM. It offers several advantages over its competing compound Clomid, even for PCT. It’s not a scheduled controlled substance, but possession of a prescription drug is illegal without a script.

Is It Bad To Have a Ton of Estrogen?

Yes! But estrogen has its uses, it is great for a ton of different reasons but to much and we get side effects. Estrogen helps you build muscle 2 different ways; There are 2 different estrogen receptors on the muscle cells, ER alpha and ER Beta. Estrogen binding to the Alpha receptor has a function like MGF, it causes satellite cells your migrate. Binding of estrogen to ER beta causes IGF-1 to be released, these two things are the key to muscle growth.

Sexually you want some estrogen. With no estrogen you have no sex drive. Period. And almost as important, estrogen levels determine how long you can last in bed for. More estrogen = More sexual endurance. Now the last part is hard to scientifically prove but if your estrogen is really really low and you look super dry and inhuman then women are less likely to find you attractive. For all these reasons its important to have some estrogen.

Estrogen also increases HDL which indirectly lowers LDL, making estrogen important for your cardiovascular health!

TO MUCH estrogen results in fat gain, water storage, whining, prostate cancer, and high blood pressure. So you want SOME estrogen but not a lot. This is why a mild legal AI like the ones in Form XT and Arom X are ideal.

Legal Prohormones 2015

In november of 2014 a Designer Anabolic Control act was passed. It defined that any “prohormone” that was not a prohormone but was actually a designer anabolic steroid was now illegal. However, it named the key ingredients in all the prohormones in the mindandmuscle.com store as LEGAL and EXEMPT from the 2014 DACA! That means this site is the #1 place in the world to get legal prohormones in 2015.

Which Prohormones are Legal?

4-Andro – This converts to Testosterone and works just like HRT you would get from your doctor. Like normal testosterone it converts to 20% DHT and 20% Estrogen in the average man, leaving only 60% testosterone left. For this reason it’s great for bulking or to keep a ‘Testosterone Base’ present so you can maintain normal male hormones. Rather then going hog wild with 4-Andro, I would stick to the recommended dosing to avoid side effects from to much estrogen or DHT.

1-Andro – 1-Andro is the king of prohormones. It cannot convert to testosterone, it converts to 1-Testosterone. Whats the difference? 1-Testosterone cannot convert to Estrogen or DHT. This means there is no logical reason there would be side effects or shutdown. It is just pure muscle building which works better than some SARMS! Unlike 4-Andro, You can take as much of this as you want in theory, but certainly taking more than the recommended amount will cause some HPTA shutdown and require PCT. I myself would do 5-8 servings per day.

pBold – This is a prohormone to the popular anabolic agent boldenone AKA EQ or Equipoise. It is fantastic for joint health and for gains when you KNOW your prone to hair loss. pBold cannot convert to DHT so like 1-Andro is the best option for guys like me who lose their hair on a DHT or Dry cycle. Think of this as a wet or bulking version of 1-Andro. In fact, the DHT version of boldenone is 1-Testosterone, making it a 1-Testosterone prohormone like 1-Andro is. But with pBold you get extra benefits of Estrogen receptor down regulation and joint health!

Decavol – This is a prohormone which helps you convert your food into muscle not fat. Perfect as an ADDITION to any cycle and useful by itself with no need for PCT as it does not convert to a sex hormone like testosterone or estrogen.

Epiandro – This is a prohormone to DHT. It will increase fat burning, harden your muscles by driving water into them and out of your skin, give you aggression, mental clarity, strength, and also inhibits aromatase making any cycle you add it to dryer. It can cause hair loss in 50% of men so if your one who is losing your hair use 1-Andro and/or pBold on your next cycle.

17-ProAndro – Like EpiAndro it converts to DHT but from a different pathway and 17-ProAndro is active as its prohormone form for muscle building and estrogen receptor down regulation. Thus its great for mass or cutting! Like EpiAndro your going to see increased strength, aggression, clarity, confidence, fat burning, and muscle definition but you may lose hair.

Aromatase Inhibitors

Around 2003 the World Changed

Breast cancer awareness was very strong 15 years ago and most people knew that breast cancer was often treatable by using estrogen blockers. This of course didn’t stop women from getting uterine cancer from the estrogen binding to the endometrium though. That was the big downfall of the main treatment at the time; theSERM tamoxifen (Nolvadex). Tamoxifen seemingly caused one cancer by curing another. But that’s not the truth. By stopping and inhibiting breast growth by binding to the estrogen receptor on the breast there was just that much more estrogen in circulation.

So how did the world change? Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) were developed. Now, instead of just gumming up the receptor like a bandaid we now could stop the body from MAKING estrogen from testosterone.

Aromatase Inhibitors and Bodybuilding

So how does this affect you, a guy? AIs can stop testosterone from converting to estrogen, as I just showed you. This means neither your natural testosterone, anabolic steroids, nor prohormones will be broken down into the ‘anti-test’ estrogen when you’re on an AI.

Why is this important? Estrogen not only counteracts the effects of testosterone, it stops your body from making it!

The main point of a man using an AI post cycle is to stop estrogen from stopping testosterone production. By stopping your body from making estrogen through using an AI, you stop the estrogen from turning off your testosterone production. Now, using the estrogen blocker Tamoxifen, you will give the opposite signal of normal estrogen on the pituitary and turn ON testosterone production (as a secondary effect of LH release)!

Benefits of Testosterone

There are numerous benefits of testosterone. It is the parent male hormone and does a plethora of different things in the body to improve you. Although it and it’s metabolite DHT are critical for sexual maturation and development of a male human from a female prototype starting as a fetus, we will narrow our discussion to fully grown adult humans, the population who should be considering testosterone supplementation.

Testosterone (4-AD)	DHT (Epiandro; 17 pro)	Estrogen (birth control pills)	Cortisol (prednisone)
Mass	++	0	+	– –
Strength	+	++	–	– –
Sex Drive	++	+	+++	0
Aggression	+	++	+	0
Fat Loss	+	++	– –	– –
Mental Clarity	+	++	?	–
Hair Loss	+ (if genes are there)	++ (If genes are there)	0	0

Medical Society

Medical society was all up in arms against testosterone and ‘steroids’ during the 1980’s after the baseball craze. Like Marijuana in the early part of the 20th century, the government and media were getting all their education from each other and nothing from science. Because of this the AMA stood by while the name of testosterone was dragged through the mud, and the concept that steroids were bad for you and steroid users are bad people was implanted in the american mind.

Now that Androgel is a profitable pharmaceutical manufactured to increase testosterone needle free, there was a market so doctors created a syndrome called “low T”. This is to hide from the patient that they are actually taking steroids. They justify this by saying that the normal effects of aging are a ‘syndrome’ and that you need this medication for the rest of your life to be healthy. A medicine they have been saying for 30 years is bad for you you now need to be healthy! Interesting, has nothing to do with the invention of a needle free delivery mechanism? Right.
Legal Alternative

Testosterone is a major hormone you need to live, and 4-Andro is a precursor or “prohormone” to testosterone. It can be taken as a pill, or even better under the tongue as a dissolving tablet. This is less complicated than a needle and without the need of special training in how to give a shot. The sublingual or under the tongue version is the best of both worlds, you get almost as good absorption as you would with a needle but the convenience of using a pill.

1-Testosterone comes from the prohormone 1-Andro. It should have NO side effects since it does not get broken down into estrogen and DHT by your body. Estrogen and DHT are where side effects come from, not testosterone it’s self.


4-Andro —> testosterone: main male hormone, need for life. its metabolites estrogen and DHT give some side effects to some people when to much is used. Form-XT removes side effects from estrogen

1-Andro—->1-Testosterone; only works like Testosterone in the chart in the first video, does not work on normal hormonal function; it is just for building muscle. But, since it doesn’t convert to DHT or Estrogen, there should be no side effects.


If you’re worried about natural shutdown use Rise and Swell while you’re using your 4-andro. I designed Rise and Swell to keep your testosterone production up and running while your “on cycle”. Then when you come off if you want to preserve normal functioning then start using Form XT and Rise and Swell. 1-AD shouldn’t cause shutdown but Use Rise and Swell just in case.

Fat Loss Tips!

By Todd Lee MD.

Not everyone is ready for a structured diet. Some people just want a gentle nudge in the right direction so they will feel more confident about themselves this summer WHEN they are required to take their shirt off. I compiled this list of the best fat loss tips for you. These the things I did when I was way to lazy to work a real diet, but I wanted to maximize my self confidence.

Tip #1) Every Meal Should Have Protein

Protein means “most important” and is what you need. People who don’t lift weights can get away with 0.8 g /Kg or about 60 g of protein a day, but people slashing their carbs need more protein than that and so do lifters. For people who REALLY want to make progress with fat loss they are usually eating 1-1.5 g of protein per pound of body weight.

Tip #2) Vegetables are Filler

Vegetables are not nutritions. There is very little to them other and water. Yes they have vitamins, but so does meat and we absorb way more vitamins from meat than vegetables.

Tip #3) Fruit Turns to Fat

Unless you use the sugar (because fruit is just a vegetable with sugar) in fruit right away it turns to fat. The sugar in fruit does not spike your insulin like starches and man made food does, so it doesn’t shut off fat burning, The extra sugar you’re not using can’t be stored as starch in the muscle called glycogen, it has to be stored as fat or refill liver glycogen.

There are only 2 times its logical to have fruit.

Tip #4) Drinking Water

You can drink as little as 64 oz a day in theory but thats not if your working out, on creatine, or losing fat. In those cases you need 1-2 gallons of water a day. Between this and the veggies you won’t be full and you should be pooping every morning.

Advantages of Prohormones vs Steroids

Prohormones are NOT gone! They are alive and well in 2015! There are several advantages of Prohormones vs steroids and I will help you understand that when all the pros and cons are weighed out, prohormones are the better option for 90% or more of men.





Toxicity


Some people have heard that prohormones are worse for you than steroids. The reason is many of the prohormones which were legal up until the 2014 DACA we in fact not prohormones but designer anabolic steroids falsely marketed as prohormones.

This is a problem because in oral steroids a methyl group is added to carbon 17 so that the steroids can survive being taken orally instead of being injected. This “methylation” makes these very toxic on your liver. VERY, VERY toxic if you drink on it!

Prohormones in the mind and muscle store do not have this methylation and thus are not banned by the 2014 DACA, in fact the main ingredients are named as EXEMPT from EVER being banned. Congress would have to pass a separate law just to ban the prohormones we sell.




Legality


Why am I making such a big deal about how prohormones are legal and steroids and banned “prohormones” are not? Because it’s serious prison time to be arrested with steroids on you. This isn’t marijuana, possession of steroids will get you PRISON time. Some cases are as much as 10 years in prison.

Think about that.

Instead of getting the same results from the same active hormones with prohormones you have to risk going to prison to use steroids.




Needles


The best prohormones are the ones which you take sublingually. This means you put it under the tongue. There are huge veins there and the way these prohormones are made allows them to pass into your bloodstream through your tongue veins. This allows it to skip your liver and thus they don’t need to be methylated (remember how that is what makes them toxic and illegal?)

Now the non-oral steroids, the ones not methylated, have to be injected with needles. Some questions you need to answer yes to before you play with needles:

*Are you trained in proper needle use?

*Have you had trained in maintaining a sterile field?

*Are you proficient in disinfecting an injection site?

*What angle do you come in at?

*Where are all the arteries?

*Where are the important nerves?

*Which muscles absorb oil better than others?

*How large of an injection bolus do you use for each muscle?

*Do you know the half lives of each of your oils so you can maintain a steady state concentration of anabolic delivery?

*Which muscles release the steroids into the bloodstream faster than others?

*Do you inject before you train or after?


If you inject your vein you get a oil embolus which gets lodged in your lung called a pulmonary embolus. Does Suffocating and drowning on your deca sound like fun?
After reading this I hope your convinced this is over your head.
Remember, the mainstream public sees all needle users as murderous junkies and I can’t change their mind and i’m a doctor! Imagine how hard of a time you’re going to have trying to convince someone you know what you’re doing.

How do you think a woman is going to react when she sees a bunch of needles in your bathroom? Your mom?




Quality


When you buy a prohormone from Mind and Muscle or any other reputable web site you get what’s on the label or a little more. Thats the law.

When you order steroids over the internet a few things may happen:


*Your IP address may be flagged by the DEA or INTERPOL

*Your illegal drugs may be sized by customs

*You may get caught and go to prison for importing illegal drugs into the USA and you’ll be charged with intent to distribute

*There may be NO STEROIDS AT ALL IN YOUR STEROIDS

When you buy it in the gym or on the street this is what your getting:

*Homemade steroids in someone’s kitchen or bathroom. Not in a sterile environment.

*heavy metals cause Alzheimer’s disease and are common in homemade steroids.


*The gear (steroids) on top of being potentially contaminated may be under dosed, to acidic causing pain, or overdosed. None of these will allow you to control your dose well as unlike prohormones which kick in in hours and are out of your system in 3 days, injectible steroids don’t kick in for 4 weeks and stay active for as much as 12 months. So if you are losing hair or have gyno or can’t get an erection then you may have to stay like that for weeks or months. EVEN IF YOU’RE AN EXPERT incorrectly labeled steroids WILL mess up your cycle and thus your competition prep.



Legal and Safe Alternative


Now if you are interested in the only legal prohormones, which are both safe and effective then look no further! I designed 2 systems for you. The Advanced Cut Stack has everything you need for your first prohormone cycle with everything from diet and training to when you take which supplement elaborately detailed for you. I also have an Advanced Mass Stack. I personally designed the stacks, diets, and training programs and the Stacks come with all your non-steroidal body building supplements as well, also designed by me.

So if you want to gain muscle or lose fat I have 2 complete systems with every element accounted for and they WILL WORK if you work them 100%.

If you already are an expert and you just need to know how the prohormones stack up to illegal gear here is what you need to know:


4-Andro converts to Testosterone


1-Andro converts to 1-Testosterone which works like Primobolan


pBold converts into Boldenone, or EQ


EpiAndro works like Masteron


17 ProAndro works like Winstrol


If you want to recreate Tren add 1-Andro, to 17 ProAndro and add 6-Mass


To recreate Anavar use 1-Andro and Epiandro


To recreate Anadrol use 4-Andro + 1-Andro + Epiandro


Now please keep in mind everyBODY is different and these are on paper the same but in each person each prohormone (and steroids) work slightly different and when you mix them you get completely different effect. That’s why I’m telling you how to replace your current or prospective steroids in your cycle with our safe and legal prohormones which DO give you the similar effects.
