For competitive body builders to build bigger muscles faster is a constant temptation but for the average non competitive body builder there is another natural option - natural body building. True it is a much slower process but the long term gains far outweigh the adverse affects that even legal steroids may have on your body over an extended period of time.

Steroids are usually used for a short duration of say 6-8 weeks with a substantial period of time elapsing before starting on the next course of steroids. It is not recommended that anyone take steroids on a continuous basis. This on and off program tends to produce short term spikes in muscle mass and muscle strength.

The advantage of natural body building is a slower but steadier increase in muscle mass rather than the peaks and lows of those on steroids. I am sure many of you have seen or heard of the affects on a body builder who stops using steroids - Rapid loss of muscle bulk and strength. The affects of steroids are fairly short lived and can result in some dramatic changes to both physique and health of a body builder.

Natural body building results in a steadier and more constant performance rather than the often times spectacular ups and downs of steroid induced muscle bulk and strength performance.

When you achieve top results as a natural body builder you will be able to maintain your muscle bulk and strength for as long as you continue intense training without adverse affects on your general health.

You will not experience any dramatic muscle wasting that is many times seen in body builders when they stop using steroids. Loss of muscle bulk and strength are two of the most dreaded words for body builders. Natural body building will help most to avoid these pitfalls.

So why do people use steroids? Most of us are impatient creatures and want instant results so the steroid alternative is very attractive. Probably one of the most important factors that affect a person’s decision to use steroids or go the natural way is what is their reason for body building - is it just to look and feel better or are they in it for the competition.

So it is your call - you decide whether using legal steroids will benefit you and your objectives.

Or play it safe and go for the healthier, steadier natural body building program that will have longer term benefits for a healthier lifestyle - Its your choice.

Bodybuilders have always had a reputation for taking things to the extreme. It probably started with protein supplements in the 1950’s. Once word started circulating that extra protein could help them build more muscle mass, certain individuals simply upped their intakes. One shake a day was replaced by two, and two became four, etc. The old adage that “if some is good, more is better”, was definitely alive and well on California’s Muscle Beach.

The practice of “taking more than the next guy” followed bodybuilders into the 1960’s as steroids became available. Small dosages of one steroid became megadoses. As soon as new steroids were invented, bodybuilders simply added them to their cycles. The practice of taking two or more drugs at the same time is called steroids stacking.

Why Stack?

The primary reason is effectiveness. Taking more than one drug at a time often produces what’s called a synergistic effect. This means that each drug magnifies the other’s effects. Instead of two steroids producing 10 new pounds of muscle each (20 pounds total) they may produce 30 or 40 pounds when taken together. Some bodybuilding drugs like growth hormone don’t seem to be that potent on their own but when combined with steroids the results are nothing short of outstanding. Bodybuilders, who have plateaued at 230-240 pounds, routinely go up to 260 or 270 pounds when they add growth hormone to their cycles.

A second reason for steroids stacking is tied into passing drug tests. Different steroids have different clearance times in the body. Injectables, particularly the ester-based versions, may linger in the body for nearly two years after their last usage. Orals on the other hand may clear out of the body in a few weeks. Bodybuilders and other athletes in sports with drugs tests work with this by stacking the different types of steroids together. They’ll use higher dosages of injectables initially and then decrease their dosage while increasing the dosage of orals. This way they can maintain their muscle size and strength while standing a better chance of passing a drug test.

So why not stack?

Stacking steroids is not recommended for a number of reasons. With each steroid that is added to the body, the liver has to work harder to metabolize it and remove it from your body. This is why heavy alcohol users often develop cirrhosis of the liver. Their livers literally burn out from having to process all that extra drug (yes alcohol is a drug!). Heavy steroid use is no different. It will damage your liver over time.

Ironically the primary benefit of steroids stacking is also its chief disadvantage. While stacking will produce greater gains than possible with just one drug, most bodybuilders will become addicted to the practice. Who wants to go back to benching 225 pounds when they’ve become accustomed to hoisting 300 or 400 pounds? Not many we assure you. So they stay on heavy stacks and greatly increase their odds of developing side effects.

The final reason for stacking steroids is probably the most important - it’s illegal! That’s right; steroids are now controlled substances like cocaine and heroine. And the more you have in your possession the more likely you’ll be charged. A judge may look the other way at one bottle of Dianabol, but we’re almost guaranteed they’ll throw the book at you if you have a mixture of Dianabol, Winstrol, and Deca-Durabolin.

Play it safe and legal with steroid alternatives!

The science of bodybuilding supplementation has become so advanced that there are now products that imitate illegal steroids, but without the same degree of side effects or legal aspects. Many of these steroid alternatives can provide a comparable effect to anabolic steroids, but are considered legal because they do not convert to testosterone or act like anabolic hormones until they are taken into the body! These legal steroid analogs have been designed with the best pharmaceutical grade ingredients to maximize your bodybuilding potential.

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and muscle tissue. All types of physiological processes relating to sport energy, recovery, muscle strength gains and fat loss, as well as mood and brain function are intimately and critically linked to amino acids.

Amino acids fall in to two classifications, indispensable amino acids (IAA) or essential amino acids and dispensable amino acids (DAA) or not essential amino acids. IAA’s must be supplied by food. DAA’s can be synthesized by the body.

What makes free form amino acids King Daddy for building muscle? The answer is bioavailability - how much of what is ingested makes it to where it is to be used by the body and how long it takes to get there. Free form amino acids can enter in the general circulation within 15 minutes, making them readily available for metabolism at the site where they are needed. Ingesting amino acids before, during and after training can prevent mental fatigue, as well as provide a source of energy to help prevent muscle protein catabolism and speed recuperation.

Amino acids from food take two to four hours to reach the muscles. Even if you eat the right foods soon after training, the nutrients will arrive at the muscle too late to take full advantage of the window of opportunity of recovery.

The answer is supplementing with amino acids, which quickly enter the bloodstream from the small intestines. They do not have to be digested and converted by the liver. Certain amino acids, arginine, methionine and glycine are used to make Creatine phosphate, which converts to ATP and is used as an energy source during intense training.

Combining creatine powder with amino acid supplements is a great way to build muscle fast. Add 5 grams of glutamine powder before and after training and before bed and you will be the talk of the gym (That’s 15 grams total). Don’t forget to add some tyrosine (2 grams) before you workout and feel the strength. Tyrosine also helps mental recovery and helps mid afternoon slump. Throw in 5 or 6 grams of arginine daily and see the pump hang around much longer. Amino acid complexes are a great foundation to build on with these above mention single amino acids. Branch chain amino acids (BCAA’s) are worth taking a look at as well. It’s all about the speed of absorption that makes these babies King Daddy.

Essential amino acids can be found in meats and poultry, fish, eggs and dairy, such as cheese and milk, as well as in many plant sources, such as grains and legumes. So be sure to keep these foods at the forefront of you diet.

Amino acids can also help prevent the body from using muscle as fuel during intense training. Certain amino acids have been shown to aid in the metabolism of fat and the release of growth hormone. Amino acids also strengthen the immune system which is key in body building athletes.
