Custom steroids and the effect of AS on the female organism Now that we’ve went through the definition of Anabolic steroids, the main myths, misconceptions and side effects, which we observe with illegal production, we can discuss custom steroids, and the overall influence of AS on the female organism. Prohormones What are prohormones? Prohormone is…

Bodybuilding-Posing
The most attractive part of a bodybuilding competition, when you’re in the audience, is practically a sum of isometric contractions of the competitors’ musculature, in other words- Posing. Isometric contractions are considered to be a ‘workout’ in a sense, that deepens the hardness, detail and separation of one’s musculature. Bodybuilders nowadays pay more and more …
Anabolic Steroids Part Three
The illegal side of steroids So far, in part one and two of the series, we learned about the essence of anabolic steroids (AC) and how they work in the body, leading to different effects and side effects. We discussed some of the main myths and misconceptions that accompany the subject, and today we will…
Anabolic Steroids Part Two
Common misconceptions and myths about anabolic steroids Now that we are familiar with how anabolic steroids interact with our body, causing different effects and side effects, we can cover some of the often-misunderstood facts about AS. Origin of the myths around steroids Usually, there are two types of opinions on steroids “It’s totally safe, bro,…
Anabolic Steroids Part One
The application, effects and side effects of anabolic steroids The history of performance enhancing in sports is as long as the history of the sports’ competitive side- From ancient Olympic games, the athletes have been searching for ways to improve and increase their own physical capabilities. As science advanced throughout the centuries, more and more…
Speed Principle
To a big extent, this popular method is contradictive to the usual training methodologies, that recommend us to mostly use an even and regular pace throughout the whole motion of the given exercise. This, of course, allows us to keep constant tension on the working musculature. The advantages to this type of training were talked…
Partial Reps
Every movement that requires us to overcome the resistance without reaching the maximum possible amplitude is a partial rep. However, unlike the incomplete ROM, the method of partial reps is more differentiated and can be realized in the first, second and third 1/3 of the movement’s amplitude. There are options, with which we can eliminate…
Incomplete Range of Motion
Training throughout the whole possible working amplitude of each exercise is extremely important for every trainee, whether they are a beginner or an advanced athlete. While advanced and elite athletes periodically revolve around that principle, it is a mandatory one for beginners. For intermediate trainees the full amplitude is not so effective, due to the…
Double and Triple Splits
It is well known that certain physiological factors (metabolism and cardio respiratory activation) grant the oxygen and energetic substances used by the working muscles. Such mobilization of the organism, done within a relatively short time window, is not possible without the active presence of the endocrine mechanisms. So, for example the release of the hormones…
Constant Tension
Experts in bodybuilding can quickly differentiate a bodybuilder from a power-lifter and a weightlifter, even if the workout is done using the same exercises. Actually, this can be determined very easily, by just looking at the dynamics of the given person’s exercise execution. Weightlifters and power-lifters create strong inertial movements to overcome the limiting points…
