I sent an e-mail to a few professional BB’ers that I know and asked if I could get my hands on their competition and off seaszon cycles, if I didn’t use their names.[/quote]
I dont think that has really been done. Especially by someone who can also explain the “why” part.
I have never been in BB circles, but I can tell u Oly and PL atheletes will shock u with their “regime”.
“Whats PCT?”
“I take a gram a week” I ask how long? “Oh for the last two years.”
“I just change a few things to get clean before a comp”

I think u will hear some interesting stuff.

I’m not in any bodybuilding circles- I just happen to know some IFBB professionals, because of my writing. Same with knowing NPC competitors, Figure girls, etc…
I don’t know any Oly lifters, though…
But I do know tons of PL’ers, even some Elite and Champion ones. I can include cycles from those guys in the book, but I don’t know if there’d be interest in that kind of thing.

Well It would kinda help if we knew what was already being included, then we could look for any possible ‘holes’… In a constructive way of course, lol.

I want to include information on AAS, but really just the basics, some profiles on the most common ones…enough of that and some basic biology and general AAS info, and stuff…then alot of GH + IGF-1 information focusing on Tendonosis recovery, not just hypertrophy. I originally wanted it to be an IGF/GH book, but then I added all the basic steroid info too, so it can be useful for beginners as well.
I don’t think we need another “profile book” and I certainly don’t want to write an e-book that competes with my print book, of which a very large portion is in depth profiles.

So you want to write a book that has only basic steroid info, but in-depth GH/IGF1 info as well? Seems a little ‘muddled’ to me maybe. I really like the idea of a GH/IGF1 book, especially as regards some of the non-hypertrophy effects… Why not include just those steroids that also have beneficial effects on joint health, and outline a few stacks/combos that are specifically aimed just at joint health?
Maybe you could also mention some of the other compounds that are beneficial for joints - alflutops, celedrine etc.

Right…that’s my deal…I’m trying to make it less muddled.
I’d like to hear about results and doses of guys in the 70’s. Also, I like to hear results and almost journal like detail of cycles of athletes.
A lot of times guys tell you one thing they took and usually they were on a lot more things or higher doses. I’d love to hear some results from athletes using lower doses. I know in the past people built some great physiques and ran some fast times on WAY less than people take today.
I like as much real world cycles and PCT and results as possible.
I would especially have an interest in the 70’s or when guys took less and did very well I think.
A first time cycle would be cool to see. A day by day drug plan over 12 weeks or so to getting very lean/photo or contest prep would be good. Or making weight while staying strong for athletes.
Any athlete cycles from track, strong man, fighting boxing or mma, football, baseball, pro bb, pro wrestler…

I would be interested in what PL’ers are running and for how long. I was told once to do only one cycle, but have it last for 25 years.[/quote]
I can include some stuff like that…stuff on PL’ing cycles and shit…
I think one of the most overlooked aspects is the guys that have come full circle. Started young, went balls out with heavy doses for years, suffered the consequences and then worked through a recovery program with physician assisstance. These type of guys can shed alot of light on what really happens years down the road, there is too much of a cavalier attitude toward this whole thing, trust me I know.

I tend to wonder about those types of stories. I mean…typically, someone will blame an injury on steroids or whatever, or this problem or that one, but we can’t really know if it’s related to steroids at all. I can, however, talk to some former IFBB and PL’ing professionals and see what they have to say on the topic.
Are you planning on backing your information with up to date med journals. IMO keeping is as science based as possible will increase the validity of the overall book not to mention it would keep those who have no idea about the subject from misusing and abusing the knowlegde you have provided them with.
Also be sure when writing up cycles to include some more conservative ones since many people’s goals are different then others.

Yeah, just like my regular book. It’s basically all referenced…there’s probably 200 different studies in it.

If you were writing an e-book on steroids, GH, IGF, and all that good stuff- what would you include.
I recently finished up writing an e-book, and I have some time left to add things to it…so…I’m wondering what you guys would put in to an e-book like that if you wrote it.
SOOOOoooo…
What would you include, personally? What interests you?[/quote]
Anthony…don’t know what all you have put into it so far or even read the earlier posts but…have you geared the e-book towards physical development, i.e. bodybuilding, gaining muscle, fat loss or towards performance in athletics??
I think approaching both subjects are interesting. There is much more literature out there talking about to add muscle stack Test Cyp @xxx/week with Tren @xxx/week, etc. but not as much about for performance and optimization of CNS/recovery. all these so called steroid gurus would probably recommend 100’s of mg/week of an injectable substance for a sprinter or athlete who is weight restricted/wants to minimize mass for the sake of power and speed.
That is what I would be looking for. Thanks for the opportunity to voice my opinion.

Although this comment was probably made in jest, I can remember a time when I was on a second division mens team here in the USA, and 1/3rd of the starting XV were on gear.

Actually the focus of the steroid parts is on hypertrophy and the focus for the IGF and GH portion is on tendonosis rehabilitation.
