    Men - You Better Wake Up Before It's Too Late!
    Men who have never been through a divorce seem to generally have a perspective that there was some hidden flaw in the men who have been through a divorce that caused them to deserve what they got.Further, men who have never been through a divorce have this mindset that should they ever find themselves in divorce court, they will be entitled to a fair trial.Both of these beliefs are totally inaccurate.While there are certainly exceptions, most men who have found themselves in divorce court were NORMAL men who went through all the normal gyrations of life – just like you are used to.And then one day, he comes home from work only to find that his wife has either packed her stuff and left with the kids or that she has thrown his belongings out into the yard, changed the locks, and locked him out of his own home.The “wife” has “pulled the plug” and decided that

    The Different SERM's:

    Tamoxifen (Nolvadex):
    Reputation: Most popular SERM for post cycle therapy Pros: Cheap. Effective for gyno prevention. Cons: Heptatoxicity. Studies have shown it to lower IGF levels (I don't feel like citing, but it's about 20% decrease...IMO no biggie). Popular Dosage (for a 4-week cycle): 40/40/20/20 Note: Tamoxifen Citrate is less potent, and should be dosed at an extra 30%.

    Clomiphene Citrate (clomid):
    Reputation: Second most popular. Usually taken the first week or so to speed up Testosterone recovery with Tamoxifen being taken the whole therapy. Pros: Better than Tamoxifen for HTPA regernation. Less heptatoxicity. Does not lower IGF. Cons: Less effective against gyno. Can cause emotional issues. May Cause blurred vision. Hot Flashes.

    Things You Should Know About Facelift
    A facelift is a surgical operation to lift up the facial tissues and skin and/or the underlying muscle, in order to have a tighter and smoother face. A facelift (also called a rhytidectomy) is necessary when we age because our facial muscles become slacker and the skin on the face loses its elasticity, creating folds and lines. Therefore a facelift can reduce saggy skin and wrinkles, producing a more alert and youthful appearance. Depending on circumstances, facelifts are performed on the whole face (a full facelift) or just on the brow area, neck or lower face only. Before the operation, it is very important to discuss with your surgeon about the hopes you have and the results you can realistically expect. You should be aware of:: none of facelifts are perfect, they cannot remove the fine lines around the lips for example. the effects of a fa
    Let's also start by saying that you don't have to run post cycle therapy.........you also don't have to wipe your ass after taking a dump: it's just a really really good idea to do these things

    The first thing we need to understand is what is going on with our bodies when we're taking anabolic steroids: Exogeneous anabolic hormones (or derivatives of anabolic hormones) are being brought into your system. This causes the body to take a number of responsive actions. The first and foremost (as you already know) is increased muscle mass. Unfortunately, other things are also going on that aren't so great

    When an enzyme or hormone is brought exogeneously into the system, chemical balances shift around to attain a certain equilibrium. This is a chemical concept known as Le Chatelier's Principle of Chemical Equilibria. In a nutshell, your body will increase production of estrogen, cortisol, and other hormones in response to heightened testosterone levels, while simultaneously slowering (or completely stopping) natural production of testosterone. Biologist call this negative feedback.......biology sucks doesn't it?

    Le Chatelier's Principle for the scientifically impaired: Let's pretend A and B react to make C (can't get much simpler than that).

    A + B --------> C

    So we have a mixture containing A, B, and C. According to LeChatlier's principle, if we add more C to the mixture, the amounts of A and B will increase. If we remove some of the C from the mixture, A and B will decrease. And if we were to add A, B, or a combination of the two, C will increase. Still with me here? Good.

    What's going on when we come off a cycle:
    Ok, so while we're on the cycle, are natural test production is going down to compensate for the exogeneous test intake, and our production of other steroid hormones (i.e. Estrogen, Cortisol, etc.) is going up to compensate for the heightened test levels. When we come off a cycle, we cease intake of exogeneous testosterone. In other words, we have very low test levels, and very high cortisol and estrogen levels: it's the EXACT OPPOSITE of what we had while starting our cycle.

    REMEMBER Le Chatelier's Principle because this is where it gets really important. When we have an excess of one hormone, the others will start shifting around, to attain a certain equilibrium. Ok, I'm gonna say it (and bold it) again because it's just that important. When we have an excess of one hormone, the others will start shifting around, to attain a certain equilibrium. It is a very common misconception that we want to eradicate estrogen . High estrogen levels play an integral part in Post Cycle therapy. That's right, you want to welcome high estrogen with open freaking arms, but there's a trick to it. And that trick is the almighty SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator).

    SERM's: the foundation of post cycle therapy:
    Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators are (and damn well should be) the foundation for any proper post-cycle therapy plan. A post cycle therapy plan without them, isn't a PCT plan: it's a bunch of crap you decided to take after doing a cycle. The purpose of a SERM is to block the negative effects estrogen, while your hormone levels go back to equilibrium.

    SERM's are prescription drugs, and are NOT SOLD IN SUPPLEMENT STORES. In fact, there are only 3 ways ( can think of) in which you can obtain a SERM:

    1) Through a Doctor's Prescription.
    2) Through the Black Market (a.k.a. illegally)

    Consolidating Credit Cards
    Credit card consolidation is a popular solution for those with significant credit card debt, usually distributed on three or four different cards. Basically, this means putting all your debts together on a single card, like transferring it all to one loan. Of course, the goal is to pick a card that offers better conditions than what you already have, in order not only to simplify, but also to reduce your payments.Since there are so many offers out there, and lenders fight over your business, you can sometimes find solutions that can save you thousands of dollars per year. If you consolidate your debt to a credit card with low interest and 0% balance transfer, you can save considerably, and pay off your credit sooner (which, of course, is the main goal when dealing with credit card debt).The most serious mistake people do when consolidating is to go though the entire process jus

    Hey - how about those White Sox. Their well is dry for 88 years, all the way back to World War I, 1917 to be exact. Then - Kazaaaam, they sweep the series in four straight games.There are a lot of reasons they won this year.They have a great manager and in case you don't follow baseball, his name is Ozzie Guillen. When the game was over the 41 year old manager didn't go jumping up and down with his players, he said, "I have to respect the other team." A class act!For the White Sox - the winning didn't come easy. They scratched and scraped for every win.They had unbelievable pitching.They had an incredible defense.They had superior hitting.They even had some good calls from the umpires.They won 16 of the last 17 games.Catcher A.J. Pierzynski said, "They were calling us chokers, now they can call us champions."In 2005 t

    Smashing the Myth of the Press Release
    A musician spends years honing his craft. He writes world-class songs and performs them in a manner that moves his listeners to tears. He records a demo tape and sends it to record labels. He gets a contract and becomes rich, famous and adored.The lesson: demo tapes are the secret of becoming a famous musician.Wait, you say, the demo tape was just a tool, just his way of conveying his talent. It's his ability as a musician that got him the contract and made him famous.You're right, of course. He could have become just as famous if a record executive saw him in person, or heard about him from a friend, or as a result of a variety of other events.Which brings us to the press release.Somehow, the press release has taken on a magical reputation as the alpha and omega of publicity. Wanna become rich? Send out a press release. Wanna become famous?

    Moving down the post cycle therapy Hierarchy: Cortisol Control
    Excess cortisol can be damaging to your newly found muscle mass. Because of this, it is a good idea to use something to block or lower the excessive cortisol levels. Always start high, and taper your way down. Here's what we have to work with:

    B-Androstenetriol (b-triol): This is one of the better cortisol suppressors. It has a terrible oral bioavailability, and should be taken transdermally. Dosages range from 25-50mg every 12 hours.

    Methyl B-Androstenetriol (mb-triol): This is an enhanced version of b-triol designed for oral use. Found in the following products: Retain (by Anabolic Xtreme), Restore (by ALRI), Thyrogen-X (by ALRI)

    7-Hydroxy-DHEA: Another potent cortisol suppressor with great oral bioavailability. Found in the following products: Lean Xtreme (by Designer Supplements), Reduce XT (by SNS)

    7-oxo-DHEA (7-keto-DHEA): Still a decent contender, this has a terrible oral availability and an even worse half life (2 hours). This is best taken transdermally, where such effects can by bypassed.

    Cissus: Unlike the above, the components of Cissus do not suppress Cortisol, but rather block cortisol receptors (better than Nandrolone or Dianabol according to some studies). Dosages vary significantly (pending extracts). SuperCissus by USPLabs is a high quality Cissus product.

    Branched Chain Amino Acids: These should be a staple to begin with, but are a great anti-catabolic that mitigates the muscle-wasting effects of cortisol.

    At the bottom of the post cycle therapy hierarchy there's AI's, Test Booster's, and other 'natural' anabolics Way too many different things going on in here to go into too much detail. Just a word of caution (and this is my personal opinion), but if you're post cycle plan starts to look like a constitutional ammendment: you're over-doing it. And the worst part is if something goes wrong, you won't have a damn clue what caused it.

    Honorable mentions of this part of the hierarchy:
    Jungle Warfare (by ALRI) MassFX (by Anabolic Xtreme) Hyperdrol (by Anabolic Xtreme) Ecdysterone/Turkesterone Creatine Monohydrate
