Muscle Building Supplements

[Slimijs]

Muscle Building Nutrition? WTF? Aren't muscles our natural offerings? Something god gave us, to replace our immortal life’s? Hell no. Muscle isn't very common these days. In fact most people have it all covered in fat. The fat that gives people depression and the one that made McDonalds rich.

But now it's time to get rid of our inborn enemy and get some sexy, lean muscle we all deserve.

Of course the first step to lean muscle is working out, but its only 40% of your muscle building journey. The 60% is eating right. But that usually is the thing that the most people forget and end up looking about the same after 3 or 4 months of intense training. All these poor souls need, are some supplements. But were to get them?

In fact I’m going to give you the best supplement guide you can find on the forum. No hype and it's is scientifically proven. All you have to do is to make your choose and get the one that's for you. And you'll be melting fat in no time.

No chocolate here, Fat boy.

CREATINE

There is almost no one on the planet that has not heard of Creatine at this point. Yet it's surprising that so much confusion, misinformation and disinformation still exists.

What is Creatine? During short maximal bouts of exercise such as weight training or sprinting, stored adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the dominant energy source. However, stored ATP is depleted rapidly. To give energy, ATP loses a phosphate and becomes adenoise diphosphate (ADP). At this point the ADP must be converted beck to ATP to derive energy from this energy producting system.

Creatine is stored in the human body as Creatine phosphate (CP) also called phosphoCreatine. When ATP is depleted, it can be recharged by Creatine phosphate. That is, the CP donates a phosphate to the ADP making it ATP again. An increased pool of CP means faster and greater recharging of ATP and therefore more work can be performed for short duration of time, such as springing, weight lifting and other explosive anaerobic endeavors. Other effects of Creatine may be increases in protein synthesis and increased cell hydration, though researchers are still elucidating the effects.

Creatine is formed in the human body from the amino acids methionine, glycine and arginine. Certain foods such as beef, herring and salmon, are fairly high in Creatine but a person would have to eat pounds of these foods daily to equal what can be found in one teaspoon of powdered Creatine from a supplement. The average person's body contains approximately 120 grams of Creatine stored as Creatine and Creatine phosphate.

Early research with Creatine showed it can increase lean body mass and improve performance in sports that require high intensity intermittent exercise such as sprinting, weight lifting, football, etc.

Creatine has had spotty results in research that examined its effects on endurance oriented sports such as swimming, rowing and long distance running, with some studies showing no positive effects on performance with endurance atheletes.

However, the vast majority of research to date showing Creatine to have an effect on muscle mass and performance used the monohydrate form and most Creatine found in supplements is in the monohydrate form.

Recent findings with Creatine have confirmed previous research showing it's a safe and effective supplement. More recent research has focused on exactly how it works, and has looked deeper into its potential medical uses.

Several studies have shown it can reduce cholesterol by up to 15% thus may be of use in with wasting syndromes such as HIV. It has also shown to correct certain inborn errors of metabolism, such people born without enzyme(s) responsible for making Creatine. Creatine is also being looked at as a supplement that may help with diseases affecting the neuromuscular system, such as muscular dytrophy (MS) and others.

As for safety, some have suggested that Creatine might increase the need for extra fluid intake to avoid potential dehydration and muscle pulls. Still, Creatine has not been shown to increase either dehydration or muscle pulls in research. In some people, Creatine may increase a by product of Creatine metabolism called creatinine, which is a crude indicator, but not a cause of kidney problems.

Creatine is not toxic to the kidneys and most doctors are not aware that Creatine may raise creatinine levels with no toxicity to the kidneys. People with pre-existing kidney problems might want to avoid Creatine due to the effects it can have on this test, though Creatine supplementation has never been shown to be toxic to the kidneys and the vast number if studies to date have found Creatine to be exceedingly safe.

One question that often comes up regarding Creatine is whether or not the loading phase is required. Originally the advice for getting optimal results was to load up on Creatine followed by a maintenance dose there after. This advice was based on the fact that the human body already contains approximately 120 grams of Creatine stored in tissues and to increase total stores, one had to load for several days in order to increase those stores above those levels.

The idea also seemed to work well in practice with people noticing considerable increases in strength and weight during the loading phase. All was not perfect however as many people found the loading phase to be a problem, with gastrointestinal upset, diarrhea and other problems. At the very least, loading was inconvenient and potentially expensive.

The need for a loading phase was a long held belief, but is it really needed to derive the benefits of Creatine? The answer appears to be no as both research and real world experience have found the loading phase may not be needed after all. A 1996 study compared a loading phase vs. no loading phase 31 male subjects.

The subjects loaded for 6 days using 20 g/day and a maintenance dose 2 g/day for a further 30 days. As expected, tissue Creatine levels went up approximately 20% and the participants got stronger and gained lean mass. Nothing new here! And, not surprisingly, without a maintenance dose Creatine levels went back to normal after 30 days.

Then the group was given 3g of Creatine without a loading dose. The study found a similar - but more gradual - increase in muscle Creatine concentrations over a period of 28 days. The researchers concluded, "a rapid way to Creatince load human skeletal muscle is to ingest 29g of Creatine for 6 days. This elevated tissue concentration can then be maintained by ingestion of 2g/day thereafter. The ingestion of 3g Creatine/day is in the long term likely to be as effective at raising tissue levels as this higher dose."

A more recent study done in 1999 found that 5g of Creatine per day without a loading phase in 16 athletes significantly increases measures of strength, power, and increased body mass without a change in body fat levels (whereas the placebo group showed no significant changes).

The researcher of this 1999 study concluded, "these data also indicate that lower doses of Creatine monohydrate may be ingested (5g/d), without a short-term, large-dose loading phase (20g/d), for an extended period to achieve significant performance enhancement."

So, if you have suffered through the loading phase in the past thinking it was the only way to maximize the effects of your Creatine supplement, it appears you can rest assured you don't have to go through all that hassle. A 3-5 gram per day dose over and extended period of time will probably do the same thing.

For increases in strength, LBM, and performance, Creatine gets an enthusiastic thumb's up.

WHEY

Whey protein has become a staple supplement for most bodybuilders and other athletes for a good reason: it's a great protein for a wide variety of reasons.

A growing number of studies has found whey may potentially reduce cancer rates, combat HIV, improve immunity, reduce stress and lower cortisol, increase brain serotonin levels, improve liver function in those suffering from certain forms of hepatitis, reduce blood pressure, and improve performance, to name a few of its potential medical and sports related applications.

One of whey's major effects is its apparent ability to raise glutathione (GSH). The importance of GSH for the proper function of the immune system cannot be overstated. GSH is arguably the most important water-soluble antioxidant found in the body.

The concentration of intracellular GSH is directly related to lymphocytes reactivity to a challenge, which suggests intracellular GSH levels are one way to modulate immune function. GSH is a tri-peptide made up of the amino acids L-cysteine, L-glutamine and glycine. Of the three, cysteine is the main source of the free sulfhydryl group of GSH and is a limiting factor in the synthesis of GSH.

Because GSH is known to be essential to immunity, oxidative stress, general well being, and reduced levels of GSH are associated with a long list of diseases, whey has a place in anyone's nutrition program. Reduced GSH is also associated with over training syndrome (OTS) in athletes, so whey may very well have an application in preventing, or at least mitigating, OTS.

GSH is the major intracellular water-soluble antioxidant in the body, which is involved in the recycling of other antioxidants. Twenty healthy young adults (10 men, 10 women) were supplemented with either whey or casein for 3 months. The researchers looked at:

- Muscular performance

- Lymphocyte GSH levels

As one would expect, they found no baseline differences in peak power or work capacity between the whey and casein groups. However, after treatment, a follow up on 18 subjects - 9 who received the whey and 9 who received the casein (considered a placebo in this study) - were analyzed.

Both peak power and work capacity increased significantly in the whey group, with no changes found in the casein group. Lymphocyte GSH also increased by over 35% in the group receiving the whey with no change in the group getting casein.

The researchers concluded, "This is the first study to demonstrate that prolonged supplementation with a product designed to augment antioxidant defenses resulted in improved volitional performance."

As mentioned, due to whey's high biological value and its other properties, such as a high branch chain amino acids content, etc., it has always been theorized whey should be a particularly effective for gaining or preserving muscle mass.

This is one reason whey is the best selling protein on the market with bodybuilders. However, there was very little hard data that directly supported that theory and what did exist was often contradictory.

One recent study in animals however supports the role of whey as being potentially superior in this respect to other proteins. One recent study, looking directly at the effects of different pre-workout drinks and their effects on the muscle mass and body fat, came to some very interesting conclusions.

One thing we have known a long time is the composition of the pre-exercise meal will affect substrate utilization during exercise and thus might affect long-term changes in body weight and composition. That is, depending on what you eat before workout can dictate what you use for energy which alters what you burn for energy.

The researchers took groups of rats and made the poor buggers exercise two hours daily for over five weeks, either in the fasted state or one hour after they ingested a meal enriched wither simple sugar, whole milk protein or whey protein.

The results were quite telling. Compares with fasting (no food), the glucose meal increased glucose oxidation and decreased lipid oxidation during and after exercise. Translated, they burned sugar over fat for their energy source. In contrast, the whole milk protein and whey meals preserved lipid oxidation and increased protein oxidation.

Translated, fat burning was maintained and they used protein as a fuel source. Not surprisingly, the whey meal increased protein oxidation more then the whole milk protein meal, most likely due to the fact that whey is considered a "fast" protein that is absorbed rapidly.

As one would expect by the end of the five weeks body weight was greater in the glucose, whole milks protein and whey fed rats than in the fasted ones. No shock there.

here is where it's gets interesting! In group getting the glucose or the whole milk protein, the increase in weight was from body fat, but in the whey fed group, the increase in weight was from an increase in muscle mass and decrease in body fat.

Only the rats getting the whey before their workout increased muscle mass and decreased their body fat. The researchers theorized this was dues to whey's ability to rapidly deliver amino acids during exercise, but there are probably other factors involved.

For general health and well being, whey gets a big thumb's up. For potential effects on muscle mass and performance, it gets a (very) tentative thumb's up at this time.

CLA

CLA is found predominantly in dairy products and it appears to be a fatty acid with some unique effects on the metabolism of animals and (hopefully) people.

Several in vitro (test tube) and animal studies have shown it has powerful antioxidant properties as well as impressive anti-cancer properties. It has been shown to modulate insulin like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBP's) in mice and may also improve insulin sensitivity.

It has been shown to suppress the growth of certain lines of human breast cancer as well as several other cancers. Animals subjected to various cancer causing chemicals and fed CLA appear to fair much better then those no getting CLA. Some studies with CLA also point this lipid as a possible immune enhancer.

So, CLA has been found to be the best for building muscle and losing fat in mice and rats since they slipped anabolic steroids in their mice food!

A substantial number of studies has confirmed that animals add lean body mass in the form of muscle and lose body fat when fed CLA, making CLA a true anabolic agent in rodents.

"Ok," we are all thinking, "lots of things work for mice and rats but this doesn’t seem to do a thing for us higher animals lifting weights." That is true. And like many supplements, the human data is lacking; yet growing steady. the good news is we have a few notable human studies. The bad news is they continue to be conflicting in their findings.

Pertaining to building muscle, research was presented at a large conference in Lahti, Finland by Dr. Lowery. The study fed 24 novice bodybuilders 12 grams of product containing 7,2 grams of CLA or placebo (vegetable oil) while completing a 6 week program of bodybuilding exercises.

The study found the group getting CLA had an increase in strength and arm girth but did not add body fat leaving the researchers to conclude, "apparently, CLA acts as a mild anabolic agent in novice male bodybuilders." One study found that CLA supplementation at 3-4 grams per day caused an almost one inch reduction in waste size and a loss of body fat of 2-4 lbs in overweight subjects over a 12 week period.

However, a pilot study using weight lifters found no differences in body weight, fat, or muscle mass over a 30 day period of time. Another small study with ten subjects, receiving 4-3 grams of CLA versus 1- subjects getting a placebo for three months, found similar results.

Yet another study of 17 healthy woman getting 3 grams of CLA versus placebo (sunflower oil) for 64 days, found no statistically significant differences between the two groups. CLA can be found as different isomers and recent research suggests different isomers are responsible for different effects, such as anti-cancer, anti-obesity, etc.

Although some findings with CLA in people have been exciting and interesting, there continues to be too many conflicting studies. Though it may turn out to be a worthwhile supplement for athletes, far more human research is needed for definitive conclusions but CLA is a supplement to keep an eye on.

For increasing muscle mass or improving performance, it gets a thumb’s down until more human research is done. As a fat loss agent, it may be worthy a try but again, research is conflicting at best.

GLUTAMINE

The 'non-essential' amino acid glutamine has been getting a great deal of attention over the past few years in sport nutrition publications and scientific journals and for a good reason. Though it may not be considered "essential," glutamine appears to have many potential benefits for people interested in getting new muscle and/or preserving that hard earned muscle.

Glutamine is required for countless functions in the human body from immune system function to liver function gastrolintestinal integrity, to name only a few. Supplement companies have takes to adding glutamine to various products and athletes have taken to adding glutamine to their diet.

For example, it is well known that low plasma glutamine levels are associated with a loss of lean body mass (muscle) and intense exercise is known to reduce glutamine stores. One study attempted to directly link glutamine levels with lean tissue loss.

The study divided 34 healthy men into three groups. One group did intense aerobic work (running) another group did intense anaerobic work (weight lifting and sprinting) and the third group was sedentary (couch potatoes).

The authors of this study found that the greatest loss of muscle was found in those men who had the lowest baseline glutamine levels, which demonstrates just how important this amino acid is for maintaining hard earned muscle tissue. Plain and simple, the harder you train the more glutamine you drain!

Because of its potential effects on the immune system, the use of glutamine may also help to prevent over training syndrome (OTS) in athletes who train too long and too hard. Several studies have suggests glutamine levels may be indicators for OTS.

Another interesting effect of glutamine is it may increase growth hormone levels (GH). One study took nine healthy subjects and fed the two grams (2000 mg) of glutamine dissolved in a cola drink. Eight out of the nine subjects responded to the oral glutamine intake with a four old increase in growth hormone output.

This study was particular interesting because:
- The glutamine was given orally and not by intravenous administration like so many studies
- The study only used two grams of glutamine
Most studies that showed any effect on GH used very large doses and ware given directly into the veins of the poor participants.

That only two grams of glutamine taken orally had such an effect of GH bodes well for the use of glutamine by athletes. Whether or not a short spike in GH will lead to new muscle is another question however, and in truth, short lived spikes in Gh in healthy young athletes does not appear to effect muscle mass.

Finally, glutamine may be useful in replenishing glycogen stores in muscle after intense exercise. Glycogen is stored in muscle cells for energy and other functions such as cell volume.

As most athletes know, glycogen is rather important stuff to have around when you want to perform well. The researchers took six healthy volunteers and made them exercise at 70-140% of maximal oxygen consumption (a fancy way of saying they worked 'em real hard!) to deplete their muscle glycogen stores.

They found that the glutamine enhanced glycogen storage after the intense bout of exercise. Exactly how glutamine improves glycogen storage is not clear. it might some how improve the uptake of glucose into muscle directly, or might be that the glutamine is itself being converted into glucose and then being stored as glycogen in the muscles.

The authors of the study seem to suggest the latter. Either way, this might just be one more amazing benefit of this amino acid for athletes. Although no one have ever exploded with muscle from simple addiction of glutamine to their diet, glutamine gets a thumb's up as a general health improving supplement that appears to have applications for athletes. 5-20 grams per gay of glutamine added to a post workout shake is norm.

I can sense the effort you have put down into this. I learnt quite a lot I didn't know before. Heck I didn't really know much about whey at all! So keep this thing up, I will be looking forward to see what you will write on other supplements!

I think many people will avoid reading this since the text is a little dense, try fluffing it up a little by doing some change of colors or stuff like that.

During this week (the week 1 of summer games) , I am going to post more great quality info for the most popular supplements.

Stay tuned!

this is sweet stuff, looking forward to more info from other supplements

gonna make a whey shake now

 

[Dolemite]

well lets not forget the best supplement of all








































FOOD!!!!!!, thats right no supplement can replace high protein meals.

I'll agree with you that creatine, whey, and a multivitamin are great for enhancing your performance but they only work if you diet and training are in check. Also you forgot to add that creatine doesn't work for everybody, and even if it does work, most of your gains are water-weight.

but this stuff works pretty good, no its not an advertisement but im just letting you guys know that creatine monohydrate is old, and theirs some way better cell-volumizers out their that work even for creatine non-responders.

this stuff is a little bit overhyped but it works well for me, hell it works better than regular creatine monohydrate.

VITAMIN C

Most people know vitamin C (ascorbic acid) as a simple vitamin and antioxidant needed for optimal health. They would be right. Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant in the human body and plays a wide variety of roles in metabolism, ranging from immunity to hormone production.

Vitamin C may also play additional roles above and beyond its simple role as an essential nutrient found in our diet and supplements.

Although exercise has been shown to improve antioxidant mechanisms, one well known side effect is that it raises oxidative stress and increases free radical production. Defenses can be overwhelmed over time and the risks of increased free radical production are well known, such as damage to DNA and a host of pathologies best avoided. When we factor in our various life styles and environment the issue of free radical production and oxidative stress is made more important.

Some studies have reported that supplementation with vitamins C and E, or antioxidant mixtures can reduce oxidative stress from intense exercise and trained athletes who received antioxidant supplements show evidence of reduced oxidative stress.

Like all things in life, there is always flip side and exercise is no exception. Though the benefits clearly outweigh the risks, we must acknowledge the potential sown sides, or problems associated with exercise, and look for ways to minimize them. Although moderate exercise has been shown to improve immunity, extreme and prolonged exercise has been shown to suppress the immune system

This is commonly called, "over training syndrome" or OTS, and is common with athletes who train too long, too hard and too often. OTS is also found in elite military groups such as the US Navy Seals who are forced to train under extreme conditions.

One study found that a group of runners who trained for a marathon but did not compete was much less likely to get upper respiratory infections then the runners who completed the race, showing how many such endeavors can take out of a person.

Vitamin C has been shown to reduce oxidative stress and suppress levels of the muscle wasting hormone cortisol, as well as prevent the decline in immunity after intense exercise.

However, not all studies agree on these effects of vitamin C or antioxidants in general on immunity. Athletes should not view taking additional vitamin C as a direct performance enhancer per se, but as a long term preventative nutrient essential to long term health. Without good health, clearly, performance will suffer.

So, indirectly, adequate vitamin C intakes are important for long term performance, although studies don't find positive effects on short term performance.

Exactly what the "optimal" intake of vitamin C remains to be elucidated, but there appears to be no health risks associate with taking higher amounts then the RDA recommend. Individual intakes of vitamin C can range dramatically, from 100mg per day to several thousand milligrams, with most studies looking at "high dose C" using between 200 and 1000mg per day.

Although there is not an optimal dose known at this time, 200-500mg daily of vitamin C added to an athletes diet is a common dose and should be adequate. For general health and well being, vitamin C gets a big thumb's up, but for direct effects on building muscle or improving performance, it has to get a thumb’s down.

Slimijs,

We all appreciate the time you put into this, but it's useless.

Ever heard of google?

 

[Slimijs]

VITAMIN E

Most of what was said about Vitamin C above will be similar for Vitamin E. As with C, people are familiar with vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol, beta-tocopherol, etc.) as a simple vitamin and antioxidant needed for optimal health.

Vitamin E is the major fat soluble antioxidant in the human body and plays a wide variety of roles in metabolism, ranging from immunity to fertility to hormone production. As with all antioxidants, Vitamin E works in conjunction with other antioxidants such as Vitamin C, glutathione, selenium and beta-carotines, as well as key antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase.

As mentioned in the Vitamin C thread: Although exercise has been shown to improve antioxidant mechanisms, one well known side effect is that it raises oxidative stress and increases free radical production.

Defenses can be overwhelmed over time and the risks of increased free radical production is well known, such as damage to DNA, reduced immunity, susceptibility to upper respiratory infections and other potential health problems best avoided.

Some studies have reported that supplementation with vitamin E and/or antioxidant mixtures, can reduce oxidative stress from intense exercise and trained athletes who received antioxidant supplements show evidence of reduced oxidative stress. Studies with Vitamin E that have looked directly at performance have been contradictory, with most studies finding no direct effects on performance.

Vitamin E has been shown to reduce oxidative stress. In particular, because Vitamin E is fat soluble, it helps to prevent something called exercise-induced lipid peroxidation.

For example, one recent study evaluated the effects of 5 months of Vitamin E supplementation on physical performance during aerobic exercise training in 30 top-class cyclists. The study found the plasma Vitamin E concentration increased significantly in the Vitamin E-supplemented group, whereas the placebo group showed a trend toward decrease.

The study also found statistically significant drops in biochemical indices of oxidative stress in the group getting the vitamin E. However, they did not find direct improvements in performance in the vitamin E group over that of placebo.

Some studies suggest Vitamin E can prevent the decline in immunity after intense exercise. However, it should be noted that not all studies agree on these effects of vitamin E or antioxidants in general on immunity.

Athletes should not view taking additional vitamin E as a direct performance enhancer per se,, but as a long term preventative nutrient essential to long term health. Good health is after all a prerequisite for performance over the long run. Clearly, adequate vitamin E intakes are important for long-term performance, although studies don't find positive effects on short-term performance.

Exactly what the optimal intake of vitamin E is unclear at this time, but there appears to be no health risks associate with taking higher amounts then the recommended RDA. Individual intakes of vitamin E vary dramatically, with most studies using between 200IU to 800IU per day. Although there is not an optimal dose known at this time, 400IU to 800IU appears safe and effective.

For general health and well being, Vitamin E gets a thumb's up but for any anabolic or performance enhancing effects, it gets a thumb's down.

testosterone = key of muscle building

Sustanon is a very popular steroid which is highly appreciated by its users since it offers several advantages when compared to other testosterone compounds. This special feature has two positive characteristics for the athlete. Sustanon is a mix of four kinds of testosterone, synergistic mix of propionate, phenylpropionate, isocaproate, and decanoate.

First, based on the special combination effect of the compounds, Sustanon, milligram for milligram, has a better effect than Testosterone enanthate, cypionate, and propionate alone.

Second, the effect of the four testosterones is time-released so that Sustanon goes rapidly into the system and remains effective in the body for several weeks. Due to the propionate also included in the steroid, Sustanon is effective after one day and, based on the mixed in decanoates, remains active for 3-4 weeks. In plain English this means a mix of 2 short-acting, 1 medium-acting, and long lasting testosterone, in one shot that equals 250 mg of testosterone.

This is good because it is both fast-acting and long-lasting in the system. You get the fast action of testosterone propionate, and the long lasting effects of enanthate. The blend seems to be recognized by the steroid receptors for longer periods of time than other testosterones. Sustanon hits harder than enanthate or cypionate. At least you get several anabolic "peaks" as each testosterone kicks in for its duration.

Sustanon has a distinct androgenic effect which is coupled with a strong anabolic effect. Therefore it is well suited to build up strength and mass. A rapid increase in body strength and an even increase in body weight occur. Athletes who use Sustanon report a solid muscle growth since it results in less water retention and also aromatizes less than either testosterone enanthate or cypionate. Indeed many bodybuilders who use testosterone and fight against distinct water retention and an elevated estrogen level prefer Sustanon over other long-acting de-pot testosterones.

Many users claim fewer side effects when using Sustanon - less gyno, bloating and endocrine disturbances. It is little less stressful to the liver. In other words, the general feeling is that Sustanon is less toxic than other testosterones, especially suspension. This makes it a favorite of many bodybuilders and power athletes.

It is further noticed that Sustanon is also effective when relatively low doses are given to well advanced athletes- It is interesting to note that when Sustanon is given to athletes who have already used this compound in the same or lower doses, it leads to similar good results as during the previous intake. Sustanon is usually injected at least once a week, which can be stretched up to 10 days.

The dosage in bodybuilding and powerlifting ranges from 250 mg every 14 days up to 1000 mg or more per day. Since such high dosages are not recommended-and fortunately are also not taken in most cases-the rule is 250-1000 mg/week. A dosage of 500 mg/week is completely sufficient for most, and can often be reduced to 250-mg/ week by combining Sustanon with an oral steroid.

Sustanon is well tolerated as a steroid during treatment which stimulates the regeneration, gives the athlete a sufficient "kick" for intense training units, and next to the already mentioned advantage-rapid strength increase and solid muscle gain distinguishes itself also by its compatibility.

It is further noticed that Sustanon is also effective when relatively low doses are given to well advanced athletes- It is interesting to note that when Sustanon is given to athletes who have already used this compound in the same or lower doses, it leads to similar good results as during the previous intake. Sustanon is usually injected at least once a week, which can be stretched up to 10 days.

The dosage in bodybuilding and powerlifting ranges from 250 mg every 14 days up to 1000 mg or more per day. Since such high dosages are not recommended-and fortunately are also not taken in most cases-the rule is 250-1000 mg/week. A dosage of 500 mg/week is completely sufficient for most, and can often be reduced to 250-mg/ week by combining Sustanon with an oral steroid.

Sustanon is well tolerated as a steroid during treatment which stimulates the regeneration, gives the athlete a sufficient "kick" for intense training units, and next to the already mentioned advantage-rapid strength increase and solid muscle gain distinguishes itself also by its compatibility.
