IGF-1 LR3 Peptide Explained

IGF-1, or Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1, has an insulin-like effect because it can actually affect blood sugar levels. Insulin’s job is to push glucose and amino acid into muscle tissue and help repair and grow tissue, which is also called hyperplasia.

Increlex is the pharmaceutical brand of IGF-1. But pharmaceutical companies didn’t make this for bodybuilders. It was actually developed to help kids with growth hormone issues such as pituitary dwarfism right. And they were trying to help blast bone receptors with a large enough amount of HGH to signal growth. They discovered that using IGF for that purpose actually worked better. This is because HGH doesn’t have a direct muscle-building impact on the body.

HGH relies on stimulating the receptors responsible for causing the release of IGF-1. But the problem was that the IGF only stays active for like 20 minutes. This is because of something in your body called binding proteins. The purpose of these binding proteins are to identify and deactivate foreign bodies to render them ineffective. So, scientists added a chemical group to the IGF to prevent the binding proteins from degrading it so quickly.

Breaking Up With Your Inner Bitch – Fitness Thuggery

Let’s discuss one of the biggest problems we face as men concerning our appearance. Fat loss.

I’m sure that you all have been subjected to this very subject a million times from experts who conducted this trial and that study. But I want to speak with you all man to man and address some real issues while pointing out a few facts.

As men we have a tendency to disguise our insecurities in life and in the gym.

Sure we go to the gym, however often we put up a wall that reveals itself in one of two ways.

We isolate and don’t seek out help and if we do, we seek it out from persons about on the same level as ourselves.

We pretend to be satisfied with what we’re doing and use phrases like ‘I just want to be fit’, ‘I just wanna gain 5-10 pounds of muscle and lose a little fat’…

lets address these things..

Reputable, Trustworthy, and Legit Sarm Sources

I have had so many people emailing me about trustworthy and legit sources of sarms. I wrote off sarms for many years because every time I would buy a bottle of Ostarine, it wouldn’t do anything. So I just assumed that sarms where either all completely fake or just another bullshit supplement that doesn’t deliver on its claims. This all changed when I gave Enhanced Athlete a try and finally understood that legit sarms can deliver some outstanding results.

But the problem is that the research chemical industry has little regulation and very little testing to prove its purity.

I have gotten a lot of emails from readers asking if I knew if certain companies had legit products because they were tired of getting screwed. Here is the most common complaints I have been emailed about:

  1. The products didn’t work at all
  2. Purchased the product, had an issue, but customer service was virtually non-existent.
  3. Experienced negative side effects that are not supposed to be present with the compound that was purchased

It is also incredibly hard to make a sound buying decision when other companies are trying to sway opinions by bashing their competition on forums and other platforms.

So here is what I’m doing. I have reached out to several of these SARM companies that you guys have emailed me about and I am going to be scrutinizing the hell out of them for you.

I’m not going to lie, some of these companies have already rubbed me the wrong way. But right now there are three that have really impressed the hell out of me and they Continue reading

Irrefutable Proof that Proven Peptides is Legit

I’m getting tired of some of the bullshit on the internet with various research chemical companies.

I decided to do these articles because there was just so much misinformation out there and I didn’t know who to trust. It’s becoming very obvious that some companies create fake consumer accounts on Reddit and online forums to bash one another in order to persuade folks like you to use their products…and I am sick of it!

Let me show you guys what I’m talking about…

Here is a Reddit thread where some dude claims Continue reading

MK 677 Review: Oral Growth Hormone

I want to tell you guys about a compound that I’ve been researching known as MK677.  I do believe that this is an excellent compound to help accelerate reaching your goals. However, there are certain protocols that need to take place to avoid some of it’s negative effects.

What is MK 677 and how does it work?

MK 677 is a growth hormone secretagogue that works by signaling the pituitary gland  to release more of its natural growth hormone.

CLICK HERE to listen my Podcast episode on MK 677

I only suggest using this compound if your trying to take in extra calories because this is a Ghrelin agonist. Ghrelin is a hunger hormone and taking MK 677 will dramatically increase appetite.

After MK 677 is consumed, it signals the pituitary gland to release several strong growth hormone pulses throughout the day. This results in the liver producing IGF-1.

Depending on the dosage Continue reading

How To Safely Use Steroids For Beginners

Anabolic steroids have a negative stigma attached to them. And rightly so to a certain extent because they have the potential to cause negative side effects.  Especially if the user doesn’t understand every aspect of what they are putting into their body and the chemical changes that take place.

But much of the fault is a result of how our society educates its citizens. You see, most people have the perception that simply taking a hormone will make you a better athlete or a jacked beast. But this is not how it works guys.

The results are still largely dependent on nutrition, your workouts, consistency, and most importantly work ethic. Anabolics help deliver faster results, fill in the genetic gaps, and put you at an overall advantage.

Having said that, there is a way to safe use steroids. But there is also a shit ton of biased information all over the Internet and online forums. We don’t condone the use of steroids but if your going to use ‘gear, here is how to do it safely. And most importantly, have a good experience while avoiding Continue reading

Let’s think about this…

You train, you eat, you begin to repair the damage you caused, and hopefully trigger hypertrophy. Add steroids or other performance enhancers, and recovery is heightened. This allows one to Continue reading

MENT Review: Trestolone Acetate 101

Trestolone Acetate (7α-methyl-19-nortestosterone) aka MENT, is an extremely powerful steroid discovered in 1963. Trestolone was pretty much abandoned until the 1990s when the Population Council began looking at it as a potential candidate for male birth control and HRT.

MENT induces a state of temporary infertility but has the unique ability to maintain normal biological functions in the complete absence of testosterone. This means that libido, energy levels, and sense of well-being are all maintained when running this compound solo.

This is basically methylated Deca-Nandrolon, which completely changes the parent compounds pharmacology. But it lacks serious hepatotoxic effects because its an Continue reading

Clomid and Nolvadex PCT Protocol

Alright folks. Lets get a couple of things straight about PCT.

PCT is an acronym for Post Cycle Therapy.  This is the process that you need to go through following a cycle of steroids or any other anabolic compound. This also includes pro-hormones and SARMs. The entire purpose of PCT is to help  bring your body back to homeostasis by restoring your natural testosterone production.

Anytime you run a cycle, you give your body a huge burst of exogenous hormones.  the body reacts to the synthetic hormones you give it by temporarily suppressing its own natural production. It doesn’t need to produce anything because your providing it with whatever compound you taking.  So unless you plan on being on gear the  entire rest of your life, then PCT is Continue reading

The Guide to Living A High Testosterone Lifestyle

Its not just about working out. Sure. Working out has amazing benefits, as does eating healthy. But there is an underlying issue with men that is far too often overlooked. This issue, if uncorrected, is enough to sabotage all the grueling hours you spent busting your ass in the gym. Years of grinding the iron and choking down cans of tuna will have been a lost cause. And the notion of a muscular body, nothing more than a distant dream.

The issue is hormones.

The magazines and youtubers will preach all day about what protein powder to sell you and what the best workout is. But no one ever seems to mention having optimum hormone production or taking care of your endocrine system.

The point of this guide is to provide you with practical things that you can do to get your body working its absolute best by correcting underlying issues with your hormones. By optimizing our bodies hormone production, we will decrease estrogen, increase testosterone, use insulin to our advantage, and lower stress hormones like cortisol.

In all honesty, this is not going to be an easy task. There probably won’t be just Continue reading
