D-BOL®

*Since its introduction just over 18 months ago, D-BOL is fast becoming the mostpopular oral pro-anabolic available. D-BOL has a special formulation containingmethadrostenol™ that may exert a pronounced ergogenic action in the body after oraladministration similar to those experienced by users of methandrostenolone.Methandrostenolone is the most popular oral anabolic steroid currently used today. D-BOL, however, lacks the c17 alpha alkylated configuration, which maycomparatively lower the risks of certain associated side effects. Several users of D-BOL are reporting of extremely dramatic muscle size and strength gains. Empiricaldata suggests myocytic anabolism (muscle growth) relative to methandrostenolonetablets with notably less water retention. D-BOL is considered by many authorities tobe the most powerful non-prescription performance enhancing oral preparation todate.

WINNI-V®

*Cyclostanozol™ is a powerful non-prescription chemical hybrid that is reputed topossess highly stimulating, non-virilizing and pro-anabolic properties. High qualitymuscle gains are reported with as little as 1-2 tabs taken before workout, during acycle. Many users claim of lypolytic (fat reducing) effects analogous to thoseexperienced when using stanozolol tablets. The addition of a potent chemical synergistto this composite has been shown to allow for absorption through the mouth, whichallows a high percentage of the active ingredients to bypass digestion. This highly bio-available mixture is extremely fast acting producing a surge of energy in mostusers. Each tablet takes approximately 30 minutes, if slightly chewed, to completelydissolve under the tongue. The gains made while on a cycle of Winni-V have beenreported to be very solid and well maintained once use has been discontinued.

LIQUID ANODROL®

*Many users claim Liquid Anodrol to be the most powerful OTC pro-anabolic productavailable. Incredible mass and strength gains have been reported after only twoweeks of use. Anodrol is a topical lotion that is applied to the skin surface similar totestosterone creams and patches. The active ingredient in Liquid Anodrol calledoxymethobol™, is not alkylated or methylated in structure and may possess a lowerrisk factor with use when compared to oral steroids with these toxic configurations.Oxymethobol has a natural time release effect and may produce the most dramaticmuscle and strength gains of any product currently available. A few users interviewedclaim of improved mass gains when stacked with powerful orals such as D-BOL.Anodrol is definitely recommended as one of the main components of any stack forgreatly enhanced results.

No pain, no gain. That’s the bodybuilding mantra because the key factor in making a workout productive is intensity, and intensity causes pain. Being able to tolerate the pain is what separates the men from the boys and a good workout from a great one.

“No pain no gain” is generally misinterpreted by the public in a nega-tive context—as it relates to injury. Anyone who has trained for a while has probably experienced that twinge that says, “Stop now!” When it happens to you, never try to train through or around it; simply ice it ASAP. “Good” pain that stimulates growth is different. Good pain is there to tell us we are in the growth zone. Without the microdamage from an intense workout, there would be no gain. The recovery stage from the damage is where growth actually occurs, so that fleeting pain is a good measure of how far you are into the growth zone.

Since the mind controls the body, the ability to tolerate pain is a psy-chological process. In a very real sense the intense workout not only teaches your muscle to be stronger but also strengthens your will. When your biceps burn so fiercely that it feels as if they’re shouting at you to stop, but you go on, you feel a sense of control that can be earned in no other way. The workout has the potential to strengthen more than your muscles. In modern life, where it’s usually not necessary to be physically dominating, mental strength is much more useful.

The interesting thing is how having more strength and muscle makes you feel—how you see yourself. Everyone experiences daily (or even hourly!) stresses, and how you cope with them is a function of your mental and physical strength. The workout refills a reservoir of resil-ience: the ability to take the inevitable hits—like a great boxer—but then shake off the damage and keep fighting. The workout has the potential to enhance your life in general. I consider my workout a 45-minute va-cation from stress. It’s immeasurably more effective at combating stress than any other way I could use the time. The workout is true re-creation.

The workout is the founda-tion for growth, but nothing can be built to its highest quality if you don’t have the right materials. Discussing the nutritional elements that are fundamental to recovery is outside of the scope of this editorial. For an in-depth analysis of supplement support that’s espe-cially relevant for older trainees, see Steve Holman’s “MidLife-Muscle Supplement Guide” on page 270. For more insight into stress, see Jerry Brainum’s “Workout Stress Test” on page 210. IM

Separating the Men From the Boys

Publisher’s Letter by John Balik

www.ironmanmagazine.com \ FEBRUARY 2008 271

Too many people accept hitting age 40 as the start of a physical downhill slide. Not so. In fact,

as Sherwin B. Nuland, clinical professor of surgery at Yale University, suggests in his book TheArt of Aging, after midlife is when man’s creativity and ingenuity kick in. It’s when many discover their talents for such artistic endeavors as painting—or sculpting. And what better way to use that creativity than to sculpt and strengthen the very thing that can improve the quality of your life—your body.

Yes, it’s true that a lot of the body’s processes begin to slow when you reach middle age, but the muscle-growth process doesn’t have to turn into a fight to maintain.You can still gain, and a number of supplements can help you sculpt a bigger, better physique. Many can improve your overall health as well, as in antiaging elixirs.

PhosphatidylserineThe research on PS, which is

derived from soy lipids, started in Italy, where cyclists used it to reduce cortisol—the muscle-eating stress hormone that also destroys testosterone—an average of 30 percent.

It worked for aerobic athletes’ recovery and tolerance, but what about athletes whose anaerobic workouts are geared for building muscle?

Enter Thomas Fahey, who spearheaded research at California State University, Chico, in 1998. He subjected experienced weight trainers to overtraining. The subjects who got the PS “had considerably less muscle soreness and a better perception of well-being than those who didn’t get the PS.” The study showed that a big part of the reason was a 30 percent reduction in cortisol—good news for any athlete, but especially those looking to gain muscle.

There’s more good news. Older and newer

research shows that cortisol can damage brain tissue and that PS, by controlling cortisol, improves brain function, like cognitive ability and focus.

Are you starting to see why this natural compound is so important, especially as we age? It’s anticatabolic not only for muscle tissue but brain tissue as well. It’s an antistress supplement that helps on a number of levels. That should be easy to remember—if you’re taking PS.

Recommendation: Take 600 to 800 milligrams prior to your workouts. You may also want to take another 200 to 400 milligrams before bed, as research shows that cortisol spikes in the latter hours of sleep. [Note: If you use Cort-

Bloc, 600 to 800 milligrams is four capsules. See page 156 for more information.]
