September 19, 2019 20:01 - 4 minutes - 3.93 MB

I used to be religious about hitting 5-6 workouts per week to maintain my physique. This was at a time when I was hardcore into bodybuilding and assumed that any less than that would cause my physique to whither away.

Oral castor oil is something not thoroughly explored in the hair loss community, despite a significant amount of promising data backing its potential efficacy.

August 18, 2019 08:59 - 45 minutes - 41.4 MB

This interview discussing Dennis Newman's steroid cycle was recorded by Tom Platz in the 90's. There is some speculation as to whether this was Mike Matarazzo or Dennis Newman in the interview.

Does Cardarine Cause Cancer? | The Human Equivalent Dose

August 13, 2019 20:01 - 6 minutes - 5.96 MB

This is something I skimmed over in my initial article on Cardarine. I wanted write a dedicated article on this topic as I believe the human equivalent Cardarine dose that caused cancer growth is often calculated incorrectly.

Nandrolone Registers As Testosterone On Blood Tests Something that isn't common knowledge is that Nandrolone is recognized as Testosterone in standard assays used in the vast majority of blood tests.

July 11, 2019 20:01 - 4 minutes - 4.32 MB
