I want to know more about spot injections with anabolic/androgen steroids. I've read that you can’t do spot injections (such as in the biceps and triceps) with certain drugs, such as testosterone cypionate and enanthate, because of the specific esters in the drug. They claim it’s a waste to inject these two esters into certain muscles. If that’s true, how come I can inject cypionate and enanthate into the quadriceps and gluteus muscles, but not into the biceps and triceps? Also, where does the drug go if it’s supposedly wasted? If you can do spot injections, which drugs that aren’t water-based can I use? (I do not want to use Synthol). First off, anabolic steroids that are suspended in oil can essentially be injected into any muscle group in the body. Some individuals like to inject testosterone propionate or Sustanon-250 (because it contains testosterone propionate as one of its components) into small, “showy” body parts such as the biceps, triceps, calves, or deltoid muscles because this particular ester causes a noticeable inflammatory reaction wherever it happens to be placed. This inflammation is what makes testosterone propionate injections so uncomfortably painful. As for this “rumor” you read about (i.e., not being able to spot inject testosterone enanthate and cypionate), it is all a bunch of bullshit. Think about it logically; it makes absolutely no sense why you could spot-inject one muscle group but not another. Truthfully, although the word Synthol seems like such a “dirty” word in today’s world of bodybuilding, Synthol is just a fancy term to describe a bottle of sterile oil (minus the anabolic steroids). Spot-injecting Synthol is a hell of a lot safer than spot injecting anabolic agents into your small muscle groups (arms, calves and delts) because Synthol does not possess the irritating effects of whatever esters the specific steroidal compounds are linked to. Similarly, it’s extremely hard to get enough “volume” of anabolic steroids into the muscles without increasing the milligrams through the roof, to get an adequate volumization effect. What the heck is Colostrum and what purpose does it have in the bodybuilders supplement program? Is it true that this supplement contains GH and IGF-1? Colostrum is a nutritional supplement that’s been on the market for the last six years. Most advertisements for Colostrum will explain that it is the pre-milk fluid produced from the mother's mammary glands during the first 72 hours after birth. (After that initial 72 hours, breast-milk is liberated). Colostrum provides life-supporting immune and growth factors (specifically relevant to bodybuilders are GH and IGF-1) that ensure the health and vitality of the newborn. What these advertisements do not tell you is that the Colostrum you are consuming (in supplement form) is bovine (cow) Colostrum; therefore, the provided growth factors are bovine GH and bovine IGF-1. Humans cannot respond to protein hormones (such as GH and IGF-1) that are not of the human variety (protein hormones are very species specific). This is why pituitary dwarves and AIDS patients must use human growth hormone (hGH). Even more importantly, it should be noted that newborn babies do not have intact digestive tracts (i.e., they do not produce any hydrochloric acid (HCl) in their stomachs). No stomach acids mean that any ingested human Colostrum in the first 72 hours of life will enable the baby to absorb any immune and growth factors found within the Colostrum. Adults, on the other hand, do indeed have intact digestive tracts with plenty of HCl secretion. Therefore, when they ingest Colostrum, the stomach acids destroy any functionality of the vast array of growth and immune factors. In summation, even if the supplemental Colostrum sold in nutrition stores was indeed human Colostrum (which it is not), no human (over the age of two weeks) could ever utilize any of the GH or IGF-1 factors found within it.
Whenever I open my latest copy of MD, your column is the first thing I read. I desperately need your help with a very embarrassing problem. Whenever I try to have sex with a woman, I am having a hard time getting and keeping an erection. I usually cycle 1,000 miligrams of testosterone cypionate (or testosterone enanthate) for six weeks, then I come off for six weeks (Burst Cycle Method). I seem to have the most problems “getting it up” during weeks one through three that I’m “on” and weeks four through six that I am “off.” What can be done to save my sex life?
As I have said many times, the “Burst Cycle” approach of short anabolic steroid cycles is not a very smart philosophy for a number of reasons. First off, I truly believe your body requires that it be exposed to testosterone and its synthetic derivatives (Deca, Equipoise, Trenbolone, Dianbol, Anadrol, Winstrol, and Primobolin) for longer periods of time (than just four to six weeks) in order to have any newly gained muscle become permanent. Likewise, because it takes approximately three weeks for long-acting testosterone esters like cypionate and enanthate to get into a user’s system, by the time you start seeing good gains, you are already coming “off.” To answer your question regarding sexual function, I first have to ask you how you expect to have a sex drive when you have no testosterone in your system during weeks one through three that you’re “on” (since the drug hasn’t built up in the bloodstream yet). The same goes for weeks four through six that you’re “off” (since, at this point, testosterone levels are probably at zero). Probably, the best solution to your problem is to stop following this silly “burst-cycling” strategy. However, if you insist on following this particular program, you could always try the anti-impotence drug, Viagra (sildenafil). Take 50 milligrams Viagra approximately a half-hour prior to sex. Aside from an occasional headache and “flushed” face, Viagra is well tolerated in most men and it rarely fails to get the “job” done. It’s interesting to note that while Viagra does not increase desire to have sex in men (though it enables the user to achieve a solid erection), in women, it does indeed seem to increase sexual arousal (probably due to an increase in blood flow to the woman’s clitoris). I have taken some small anabolic cycles in the past. I have some Anavar pills and, hopefully, some real Winstrol pills. I am currently on testosterone cream (100 milligrams once daily). The cream is prescribed by my doctor. I haven’t seen many results except for my balls shrinking. This is the reason I stop most of my cycles prematurely. Is the testosterone cream strong enough to do anything besides shrink my balls? Should I mix the Anavar or Winstrol in with the cream? Is there anything I can do to stop my balls from shrinking? Physicians prescribe testosterone cream exclusively for replacement therapy in older adults. I would not consider it a significant performance-enhancing agent that would enable you to put on any noticeable or appreciable amounts of muscle.You could conceivably mix the Anavar (two to six [2.5mg pills] per day) with the Winstrol (four to eight [2mg pills] per day) and just leave out the testosterone cream altogether. This anabolic cycle will result in some muscular and some strength gains (without the testicular suppression and atrophy you are used to seeing when using the testosterone cream). Although the gains might not come instantly, if you eat a high-protein diet and have patience with this cycle, the gains will prove to be permanent.
