The Importance Of Water Consumption During Your Steroid Cycle
Water is a very vital commodity to the human nature. In fact, it is one of the basic commodities that are believed to support life. To a bodybuilder, water is not just a commodity as such, it doubles to be a prerequisite in the training itself. Explained below are some selected areas that make water so unique to a bodybuilder.
Bodybuilding is a kind of activity that calls for a very heavy and rigorous program. This will trigger a higher rate of sweating as the training progresses. In such a case, it is obvious that the bodybuilder will lose a lot of water in the process of training. This lost water should be replaced almost at the same rate. To replace this, it is almost mandatory that the person must drink some water. This is why you will find most gym managements and other experts in the field advising body builders to carry some bottle of water with them to the gym. It is also a common occurrence that when one does a lot of heavy work or exercises; he will in most cases feel thirsty. Thirst as it is known interferes with one’s comfort and for a bodybuilder, you cannot train when you are not comfortable, and so the next thing to run for will be a bottle of water. More so, bodybuilding is not just about the physique. Sometimes when one does a lot of heavy duties that comprises sweating he develops a dry skin, especially if he doesn’t take a sufficient amount of water. The general outlook of an individual counts a great deal and it is water that enables a bodybuilder to have that soft skin.
Just like any other activity, bodybuilding has its own accidents. Some of these accidents such as burns and bruises, in their first aid procedure have water as one of the materials. For instance, a body builder will be advised to run some cold water in a bruise or a burn. This is why you find that in a gym, it is a requirement that there should be a good supply of water. This is not just for sanitation purposes but also for security purposes.
After a heavy training, the bodybuilder will feel tired and dirty. This is the time that it is advisable for the person to take a warm bath. The power of water in restoring strength is just amazing. After the bath, the bodybuilder feels fresh and rejuvenated to an extent that he may feel like going back for another session of training. But without taking some bath, the situation will be full of fatigue and the person will ever be tired. This is a very important aspect of water to a bodybuilder whose main aim is to gain strength.
Water also serves as a ground for fitness training. We have various training activities that are done in the water. These include swimming, rowing among others. Rowing for instance is a very good bodybuilding process which helps in the development of muscles of the participants. Swimming is also a very popular sport in the bodybuilding industry. It is also a recreational ground for a bodybuilder after a day’s hard work of intense exercise.
In conclusion water plays a very vital role in a bodybuilder’s life. It supports his health and also provides a training ground. A bodybuilder should consume a lot of water since a dehydrated person will never have that energy to support his heavy training process. This is the cheapest commodity that supports a bodybuilder’s training, and he should not fail just because he has refused to listen to my call.
The Key Ingredients In Steroids
Since the synthesis of synthetic testosterone was discovered in early 20th Century, physicians continue to use it for many medical conditions. Today, anabolic steroids are used in stimulation of bone marrow growth, hypoplastic anemia therapy, leukemia, kidney failure or even aplastic anemia conditions. Some anaerobic steroids are used as synthetic proteins that selectively stimulate production of healthy blood cells.
Modern pediatric endocrinologists stimulate growth in children suffering from stunted growth conditions using anabolic steroids. Elsewhere, the anabolic steroid derivatives are used as stimulants to treat conditions of poor appetite and to generate or repair chronically wasted muscles especially in cancer and HIV /AIDS. Androgens, also steroid derivatives are used by physicians to induce male puberty development in cases where teenage boys are experiencing delayed growth. The androgen medications assist in increasing body height, mass and masculine feature development in boys.
Testosterone, the key ingredient of all anabolic steroids, is presently being used as a male contraceptive. Testosterone enanthate is a reversible, reliable and safe male contraceptive method which is currently growing in popularity. But the most popular use of anabolic steroids remains as an aid in weight control and slimming efforts. Anabolic steroids help lean out body mass by amplifying body fat combustion. Further, uses include toning body composition, increasing body strength, reducing old age telltale signs, uplifting sexual performance, heightening insulin sensitivity and supplementing rare nutrition diet requirements.
Anabolic steroids have however become the single most abused drugs in the globe today where their beneficial features have been employed for non-medical and frequently improper purposes. Competitive athletes especially body builders and weight lifters to boost muscle development and strength. Women today over use steroids for cosmetic purposes with total disregard from the prominent side effects. A culture has developed promoting the use of anabolic steroids for purely non-medical purposes even after their being banned.
Today, steroids though controlled substances in the US obtainable only via clinical prescriptions are the most used drugs with total disregard to dosage, chemical constitution or suitability in the users. Simply put, this is abuse of anabolic steroids. Sportsmen and women in competitive fields like cricket, football, body building, weight lifting, cycling, field events, martial arts, baseball, wrestling or boxing, seek a competitive edge in their sports by misusing steroids. In these instances, anabolic steroids help amplify muscle gains in mass and energy, enable intensive training, speed recovery after injuries or even enhance performance.
This is despite tough regulatory measures and stiff penalties imposed by most government in the world and world sporting federations like the Olympics committee. Abuse of anabolic steroids is administered as oral pills, injectable solutions or skin patches. Most of these are readily available in the black market.
Numerous techniques are employed to minimize the side effects resultant from anabolic steroids abuse such as increasing cardiovascular exercises, taking of counter effective drugs, post cycle therapies to wean off the body from dependence on steroids before taking up the next cycle, diluting the doses ingested, among other measures. The key distinction between use and abuse of steroids is drawn by how they are obtained, whether legally or not, how they are administered, whether in proper dosage or not, and why they are used, for valid medical reasons or for ignorant selfish ambitions.
The Influence Of Money Upon The Politics And Research Of Hormone Therapy
We all know that money talks, and BS walks. In the real world, decisions as to what drugs are legal and illegal aren’t based upon which compounds are most effective, safe or useful. In the real world, drugs which are given funding tend to become developed and legal. Drugs not giving funding, no matter how useful and beneficial, do not.
Consider the drug DP Viagra. Its common knowledge that the sudden loss in blood pressure that occurs with this impotency treatment has caused many deaths. Coincidentally, more deaths than anabolic steroids and ephedrine combined. Yet there is a multi-billion dollar industry for Viagra and drugs like it. Why? Because the people with the money – particularly older investors who coincidentally suffer from erectile dysfunction – have decided they would like to use this drug. They’ve decided they would like to enjoy being sexually active well into their 50s and 60s and beyond, regardless of the consequences of this dangerous drug. As a result, millions of dollars are invested into researching and producing it, and even more money is poured into the campaign election fund coffers of politicians who change laws to allow such drugs to be legal. It’s a self-serving system which allows dangerous drugs to become commonplace simply because “the rich people want them”.
How does this affect you as a bodybuilder? Very positively! For the last 5 years, many anti-aging clinics have emerged which have provided growth hormone and testosterone replacement therapy for older (and wealthier) men. They grew to enjoy the lifestyle benefits of being 60 and feeling 30 once again. Then, when DEA and FBI crackdowns on HRT clinics took place last year, many of these wealthy men were suddenly no longer able to access the “fountain of gh youth” they had grown accustomed to.
The result is that right now, these wealthy men are lobbying Congress to make testosterone therapy and HRT legal and easier to obtain. Next, they will invest money into research companies which are working to make hormone therapy more effective and safer and above all, cheaper. Once this happens, testosterone will go more mainstream than it has ever been, and it will be readily available – perhaps as readily available as Viagra is today.
Imagine commercials on television for hormone replacement therapy. Imagine free internet offers for testosterone samples. Thanks to the influence of money in medicine and lawmaking, and the recent popularity of hormone replacement therapy, that day is coming!
