Deca Only For HRT - A Comprehensive Overview And My Personal Blood Work

February 01, 2020 20:28 - 27 minutes - 36.5 MB

There's been a growing amount of hype around the "Deca only cycle". While it is most commonly referred to as the Deca only cycle, it is actually based on the compound Nandrolone being used on its own.

Testosterone Is NOT Neuroprotective, Estrogen Is - Anabolic Androgenic Steroid Neurotoxicity

January 25, 2020 22:24 - 18 minutes - 25.7 MB

Testosterone is not neuroprotective, estrogen is. A common myth circulating in the bodybuilding and TRT community is that testosterone is inherently neuroprotective and is unique from all other anabolic steroids in that regard.

Data in rodent models using cortical cells suggests this very convincingly by sh...

The Therapeutic Promise Of Topical SARMs For Hair Loss Prevention

January 13, 2020 05:29 - 26 minutes - 28.1 MB

After reviewing the molecular weight of some of the most promising SARMs developed, I theorized that they could potentially be prepared in a topical solution for hair loss prevention.
