"ASK THE GURU" OCTOBER 2000

Question: HI, I am new to body building and am looking to bulk up, what would you recommend for the novice bodybuilder, types of steriods and length of use? Thanks Rob

ANSWER: I would stick to non-aromatizing (i.e. steroids that do NOT convert to estrogen) steroids like deca (400mg per week), primobolin (200-300mg per week), winstrol (50mg every other day), anavar (4-8 2.5mg pills per day), and finajet (trenbolone at 50mg every other day). I would combine 2 of these anabolics for 6 week minicycles. Every 6 weeks I would switch compounds until 3 six week cycles are completed. After these 18 weeks of cycling are completed, I would suggest giving your body a rest.

Question: hi i am a 23 year old 125 pound female. My body fat is unknown and I have a medium build. I am interested in getting huge. i have been cycling for a month and that came to an unexpected end. What do I do??? I want muscles.

ANSWER: Since you did not tell me why your cycling came to an end, its hard for me to give you advice. My best advice is that if you are going to use anabolic steroids (as a women), stick to the purely anabolic compounds like anavar, winstrol, and primobolin. If your start to get masculinizing side effects, a 4 week course of ALDACTONE should help to neutralize these problems. Yes, aldactone is a diuretic, however, it becomes a good anti androgen if taken for more than 9 days straight.

Question: Have you seen or heard of any fakes of Nile Co. Amps of Sustanon going around. I have seen amps with black writing and no Organon name on them!

ANSWER: IN my travels, I have never seen a fake sustanon (that is not to say that they are not out there). Sustanon is so cheap that It really is not ever worth faking. In POLAND, for instance, OMNADREN costs 50 cents a piece. The original NILE CO. sustanon was in white writing. The next batch was done in BLACK. The newest batch of NILE SUSTANON is in GREEN writing and it greatly resembles the BRAZILIAN DURA TEST is vial "appearance" and silk screened writing.

Question: I was wondering if you could tell me if the 50cc bottle of Laurebolin from Intervet is legit.

ANSWER: Since I do NOT have the bottle in front of me it will pretty hard to ID that LAUREBOLIN, however, once again, I have never seen a fake bottle of LAUREBOLIN (its really too cheap to fake).

Question: When choosing between: Clomid, Nolvadex, and Proviron, which is the most effective anti estrogen supplement?

ANSWER: The most effective anti-estrogen in the above group would have to be the PROVIRON because the nolvadex (since it is a sythetic estrogen itself) can act LIKE estrogen (and cause more estrogenic problems) and CLOMID (also a sythetic estrogen) can also act like an estrogen and make things worse. Additionally, NOLVADEX supplementation can block the release of IGF-1 from the liver.

Question: I am looking to do my first cycle of steriods. I am 33, 6ft, 174 pounds, with a fairly beefy build. I am looking to put on muscle as well as drop some body fat. Could you give me a suggested cycle?

ANSWER: Once again, when beginning your first steroid cycle, start with the mildest purely anabolic compounds (your receptors are still extremely sensitive). In order to concurrently burn fat (while adding muscle) you may want to add 2-3 clenbuterol pill per day in with your stack of anabolics (see above for suggested compounds for first time users).

Question: Have you heard of Deca Bolin or thats what it is advertised as, is it the same as deca durabolin.?

ANSWER: NO, its not the same!

Question: I have sostenon 250 by Organon I got in Mexico also some Spiropent Clenbuterol tablets with foil and box. Should I stack these two, and what's the best way of taking these to make it work the best? I'm already in great shape just need a little kick start to a new level.

ANSWER: Take 500mg of the sustanon per week with 2-3 clenbuterol per day. Follow this regimen for 12-18 weeks.

Question: I WAS JUST WANTING TO KNOW WHEN THERE WILL BE A BIO ON DAVE PALUMBO IN ONE OF THE BODYBUILDING MAGAZINES? I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO CHECK IT OUT! OH, BY THE WAY THE RECUNSTRUCTION OF A BODYBUILDER IS GREAT & ARE THERE ANY FUTURE PLANS OF ANY OTHER VIDEOS?

ANSWER: There was a pretty nice BIO that FLEX MAGAZINE ran on me last year called the DAVE PALUMBO FILE. HOWEVER, if you want "MORE" write your local CONGRESSMAN (or better yet, write into your local muscle magazine and DEMAND MORE PALUMBO!). AND THANK YOU for your positive review of my video. I tried to make it unique in that it is not just your typical instructional training video. I made a short (110 minutes) fictional movie (a take-off on the terminator) mixed in with highly entertaining (I guess that's subjective) training and nutritional sequences. To purchase, you can email me at HUGE315@aol.com (price is $35 plus shipping).

Question: Have you ever heard of cytadren? I have been told that it is effective for preventing gyno and water retention. Is this true?

ANSWER: CYTADREN is a drug used by many foolish bodybuilder who believe that it will give them a drier appearance on stage. What cytadren does, in fact, is inhibit the production of ALL steroidal hormones in the body (eg. Testosterone, cortisone, estrogen, progesterone, aldosterone) thus ridding the body of the water retaining estrogen and cortisone but it also wipes out all the testosterone as well as destroying all the clotting factors in the body (not a good thing if you cut yourself or if you have an existing ulcer). Why am I so adamant concerning the usage of cytadren (aside from its obvious danger)? Well, all drugs are dangerous, however, cytadren use is stupid because the anti-aromatase drug, ARIMIDEX, can rid the body of 10 times more estrogen than can cytadren with virtually NO side effects (at a dosage of only 1mg every other day).

Question: I am confused! Some people are telling me to take the same steroids for 8-12 weeks and others are telling me to start with sust for the first 4 weeks and then change to a faster acting testosterone for the rest. They are telling me that if I don't do this I will have trouble getting my own testosterone back because the sustanon lasts for so much longer in my system. Can you make any sense of this for me?

ANSWER: You're a smart young man. It doesn't make any sense to me either. Once you stop taking testosterone (no matter which ester you use) and once it runs its course of action (whether long or short acting) your body will begin to produce it OWN testosterone once again. If you END your cycle with sustanon, yes it will linger on in your body for an additional 3 weeks during which time your body will still be turned OFF, however, you will still have the DRUG working so as far as I am concerned, I don't really see a problem?

Question: Can a person get bigger on a cycle of just d-bol? I am limited on funds and want to grow. I have been told that it isn't worth it to do d-bol alone. That is all I have.

ANSWER: I have seen guys grow on 1 DIANABOL (D-bol) tab per day. If you eat well, train hard, and sleep right you will surely make gains on D-BOL alone.

Question: Is there anything I can take to make sure my hair doesn't fall out during my cycle? And is there anything I can do to decrease the amount of acne from steroids? Thank you.

ANSWER: Hairloss, no matter what people tell you, is purely genetic. I never lost a hair on my head until I hit the age of 30. Rogaine (5%) seems to prevent further loss of hair from the scalp although hair regrowth is minimal. If you start taking rogaine early on in your life, you should be able to hold onto most of your hair. The best cure for acne is ACCUTANE available as a prescription drug throught your dermatologist. Once you take accutane, your acne problems will be solved forever (occasionally you require a second course of treatment).

Question: I have heard that you need to lay off, a bit, on training after you finish a cycle. Is this true? My friend said that your cortisol levels are very high and if I keep training hard after I finish my cycle, I will risk losing muscle. Is there any rule of thumb for how your training and diet should change after a mass cycle is completed?

ANSWER: After you end a long, heavy, cycle, you should definitely temper your training. Cut back your number of sets and your heaviest lifts otherwise you are looking for trouble in the form of a muscle tear or by propelling yourself into a state of overtraining (don't forget, anabolics greatly increase your rate of recovery from workouts). Additionally, I would make sure my protein levels are extremely high in my diet following the cessation of steroids to ensure that the loss of muscle tissue is minimal.
