Question: How much Arimidex is effective for stopping estrogen production? Do you have to take a certain amount depending on your doses of steroids?

ANSWER: I tell people to start with 1mg (1 pill) every 3rd day and if the estrogenic symptoms do not subside after a week, I recommend increasing it to 1mg every other day (this usually does it). Arimidex dosage is enzyme specific meaning that the higher the levels of AROMATASE enzyme in the body, the more ARIMIDEX needed to contain it. NOTE: The longer one takes ARIMIDEX, the less AROMATASE enzyme that is found in the body leading researchers to postulate that possibly Arimidex permanently inhibits the aromatase enzyme.

Question: Thanks for answering my question about tightening my skin. I will definitely try that next spring when I try to get ripped again. For now I want to grow. I am trying to decide on what to do for my first cycle. Is there a cycle you would recommend for a first timer? I am of course afraid of losing my hair and growing tits! Is there products I can take that will help me not get these side effects?

ANSWER: As a first time user I would stick to purely anabolic compounds since your body will be very sensitive to the drugs. By taking things such as DECA, PRIMO, WINSTROL, and ANAVAR, you will effectively add size and hardness without the side effects of ARMOTAZING compounds. Additionally, your body's own Testosterone production will NOT be shut down by these purely anabolic compounds, therefore, when you stop your cycle you will not lose any of the gained muscle. You will also notice very little acne, hair loss, or mood swings-Sounds pretty ideal to me!

Question: My wife takes birth control pills. Would it be okay for her to take GROWTH HORMONE? She is 31.

ANSWER: Growth Hormone (GH) is not a steroidal hormone, therefore, it will not interfere with the monthly menses of a woman. Only steroidal hormones would block or interfere with estrogen and progesterone levels in the women. GH will provide all the benefits to your wife whether she's on birth control or NOT.

Question: My wife takes birth control pills. Would it be ok for her to take Anavar?

ANSWER:ANAVAR, being a male steroidal hormone, might indeed block the receptors for estrogen or progesterone in your wife's body. In this situation, I wouldn't advise having your wife take the PILL as a means of birth control. If she's interested in getting HARD, I would have her get off the PILL even if she doesn't use the ANAVAR. The pill contains high amounts of estrogen which can result in increase fat deposition and water retention.

Question: I was thinking about using HGH. Can you tell me how much to take and how to take it? I was also told that I would need to take insulin and some anabolics to make it effective. Is this true?

ANSWER: I would suggest taking 2-4 IU's per day (preferably in the morning). With GH, you are better off taking less GH for a longer time period than "shotgunning" a lot for a short period. This approach is because when you take GH, your liver responds by producing a hormone known as IGF-1. It is the IGF-1 that is the "growth" producing hormone. Since your liver can only produce so much IGF-1 per day, you are better off taking less GH every day for a long time period to maximize the cumulative amount of IGF-1 that your body will produce. I wouldn't bother with insulin if you only take 2-4 IU's per day because you wont make yourself insulin resistant enough to worry (another benefit of not taking too much GH). You should, however, try to take something steroidally anabolic while taking GH in order to maximize the maturation of all the new muscle tissue you are producing.

Question: I have always been obsessed with being ripped. I have had trouble growing because of this though. I was wondering what type of foods you would recommend to someone who seems to put on fat just by looking at fast food and sweets? I also seem to hold more water when I eat bread and pasta. If I eat potatoes and rice I am fine.

ANSWER: You need to follow a high protein, moderate fat (for energy), and VERY LOW carbohydrate diet. The carbs are what cause your pancreas to produce insulin. Insulin is the hormone responsible for storage of calories into FAT. Believe it or not, FAT does NOT cause insulin release and thus moderate amounts of it will provide the body with a very efficient energy source without storing it as bodyfat.

Question: AS A BEGINER I PLAN ON A SIMPLE 8 WEEK CYCLE OF SUST 250, SHOULD I ALSO PLAN ON USING HCG OR NOLVADX.AND IF SO WHEN DO I START TAKING THEM. THANKS.

ANSWER: At the conclusion of the 8 week cycle, you should finish with 2 weeks of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). If you take 2000IU's every other day for 10 days (total of 10000IU), you should sufficiently kick-start your body's natural testosterone production.

Questions: I'm about to go on my first cycle of deca and sust . When that cycle is over when should I start my next cycle and should I use the same combo or should I switch gear? Also what should i use on my off cycle? I was told pro hormones and creatine- you agree?

ANSWER: I think that you should cycle for approximately 16 weeks followed by an 8 week off cycle where you can do prohormones (19-norandrostenedione is preferred) and/or CLENBUTEROL. The use of Creatine (micronized is preferred) during and after the cycle is recommended for the best results. When you start up again after your 8 week off cycle you can either switch or take the same compounds you originally used (your body is cleaned out already).

Question: Have you heard of something called Karachi Sustanon? I have been told it is Organon Sustanon repackaged into 10ml vials 250mg/ml. Is this stuff legit? Is it clean? I heard there is a company called designer labs that makes it.

ANSWER: It is GOOD. While many fake compounds clutter the market, I've found that MOST testosterone compounds are legitimate (with the exception of TESTOSTERONE CYPIONATE which is faked very frequently since its hard to obtain).

Question: I noticed in someone else's question that you recommended 1000mg of testosterone per week. Isn't that high for someone that doesn't have a lot of experience with steroids? I am not trying to say you don't know your shit, I was just wondering what your reasoning was for high doses?

ANSWER: If you figure that a normal man produces almost 250mg of Test per week, then taking 250mg of test per week is like taking nothing (after your body shuts down its own production of test, the 250mg you are taking is just barely replacing what you naturally produce). Therefore, in order to get some kind of a response (in my experience working with bodybuilders), you need to take at least 4 vials of 250mg test. Knowing that testosterone is NOT toxic to the body, it is really the safest and most effective way to grow dense, thick, muscle fibers.

Question: Can you tell me how much I should be eating if I want to put on muscle? I plan on doing a cycle of sustenon 250 (500mg per week) and Ultragan (300 mg per week). Oh yeah, I weigh 180 and I am 5'10" I am not quite sure what my bodyfat is but I can see my abs.

ANSWER: You should try to take in 6 meals per day (1 meal every 2 ½ to 3 hours) consuming at least 50 grams of protein per meal. In addition to that, you should consume at least 50 grams of carbs and 25 grams of fat per meal.

Question: I was thinking about doing the 3 (8 week cycles) of test, eq, deca, and dbol that you recommended to someone else. Should I take clomid throughout the cycle to help keep my own test production going? Or I have also heard of people taking shots of hcg during a cycle to help there own test production. Will I have trouble restoring my test levels after that long of a cycle?

ANSWER: Taking HCG or CLOMID during the cycle is like throwing a handful of sand onto the beach (it is negligible with regard to growth). I would like to see you wait till the end of the three 8 week cycles and then take 10, 000 IU's of HCG followed by 10 days of CLOMID. This schedule will more than adequately turn your body back "ON" If a woman who takes the "PILL" for 10 years can stop it and get pregnant after one month, YOU will have no problem cranking out testosterone after 24 weeks.
