My Experience With Low Testosterone

I first suspected that I might have low testosterone  a few years ago.  It was the beginning  of  2016 and I had just celebrated my 29th birthday when I started to notice several changes in my overall sense of well being.   Things just didn’t feel right any more and I couldn’t make sense of it. I worked out every day,  maintained a well rounded diet, and took the right supplements.

However,  I constantly felt lethargic, couldn’t focus, my quality of sleep had suffered, and I felt gassed out early in to my workouts.  And although I wasn’t having any issues with erectile dysfunction,  the sexual drive I once had Continue reading

Cialis For Bodybuilding And Overall Health

Before I started using Cialis, I was under the impression that it was only for men who struggled to get erections. But it has recently been brought to my attention how popular of a performance enhancer this is in the bodybuilding community. Not only that, but the overall health and lifestyle benefits this has for the aging male and athletes is nothing short of incredible. I am sharing this information because I had no idea of all the benefits of Cialis before I started using it. Continue reading

Training While On Steroids

I want you to keep an open mind in regards to this writing. If you’re on any type of steroids or enhancing drugs, chances are you are not training properly.

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

Crashed Gear and How To Fix It

Over my years on various forums and interacting with gym patrons there seems to be a common misconception about ‘crashed gear’. Some seem to feel that it isn’t a legit product and that it might be bad.

There are many perspectives on this, some more true than others. But ultimately one is correct and the rest are 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

Arimistane Is Getting Banned

Arimistane was one of the few over-the-counter products that actually worked. I loved the stuff and I have written several articles where I promoted it. But you guys have been sending me emails and messages wondering where to buy  Arimistane products like Eraticate – E now because they’re becoming scarce.

Actually, its become almost impossible to find Arimistane  over the past couple months. A1 supplements has quit caring that product altogether. And even manufactures like Blackstone labs stopped Continue reading

Dosing Protocols

Today we hear so many viewpoints on dosage recommendations for anabolic steroids, which ones make sense and which are absurd? I want to offer thought to this debate, but ultimately the choice is yours to make after receiving an unbiased opinion.

The unbiased opinion:

You can achieve miraculous results with Continue reading

GC-1 Sobetirome Review

What is GC-1 and what does it do?

Thyroid hormone regulates the metabolism of food and controls our body’s ability to burn off fat.

GC-1 is also known as Sobetirome. This research chemical is a thyroid hormone receptor agonist. Also known as a thyromimetic, it mimics thyroid hormone without actually being a hormone. To put it in perspective, you could consider this the SARM of thyroid hormones.

GC-1 acts similar to thyroid hormones like T2 and T3 in the body. However, it doesn’t seem to cause negative side effects of thyroid meds like suppression of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) levels. Other studies show GC-1 to increase  metabolism and fat burning without causing tachycardia, which is a side effect  from using T3.

Beginner Sarm Cycles

There is a ton of misinformation floating around about how sarms and other research chemicals should be used. Some of the protocols that “sarm experts” push are downright lies to get you to buy more products from them. So what I want to do here is address some of these myths. Then provide examples of a sane beginner sarm cycle with minimal side effects. For more advanced SARM cycles CLICK HERE. Continue reading

Proven Peptides Review: Are They Legit?

A major problem I’ve noticed with many sarm companies is their third-party testing is sometimes a year or two old and may not necessarily represent their most current batch of stock. Recently, I’ve had several people emailing me over the past month about Proven Peptides.

If I’m going to recommend something to my readers, I want to know 100% that its legitimate because I have a reputation to maintain.

And I’m not saying that all other companies aren’t legit. But I feel like I need to have 100% proof in what I’m recommending. And I know many of you would like to see some hard proof. Considering that a lot of people have been asking about Proven Peptides, I recently reached out to them.

They were familiar with leavingweakness and I had a very candid discussion with Josh Fulton, their owner. We mutually agreed that if their products were solid, I would recommend them to my readers. I expressed my concerns with the third-party testing being so old with a lot of the other companies.

Enhanced Chemicals Review

Enhance Athlete and Enhanced Chemicals are actually operated under the same company. But Enhanced chemicals offers vials of liquid SARMs that are a little more cost friendly than the capsules. The capsules are much more convenient to dose and transport. But from what I gather, it cost more money to have the raw powders encapsulated. With the liquids, they just suspend the raw powder in some form of alcohol or syrup.

All of the research chemicals came in dark brown glass vials. These vials were made out of very thick glass that I assume isn’t easily broken. And what I liked the most about the Enhanced Chemicals brand was the fact that is didn’t taste like complete shit. Now, I’m not going to bullshit you all and tell you that this stuff tasted ‘good’. But I’ve used liquid Ostarine from another research chemical company and it straight up tasted like battery acid!

At least Enhanced Chemicals put forth the effort of adding in some sucrulose and a little flavoring. This helped negate the chemical taste that usually Continue reading

Legal Alternatives To Steroids

Believe it or not, there are legal alternatives to steroids that actually work! This is a review of the best options available right now and what you can expect when taking them.

I remember a time when I was seriously struggling to put on any amount of muscle. No matter how much I ate or how long I was in the gym, I just couldn’t grow. All of my “newbie gains” had become old news. I wasted so much time looking at magazine adds promising to deliver all the muscle growth you could ever imagine.

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 truth is that you are going to be wasting a shitload of time and money if your hormones aren’t in check.

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

Enhanced Athlete SLIN Blood Test Experiment

After I published my review on Enhanced Athlete’s Slin, I decided that I wanted to do do a follow up article that proves how effective this product is.  Sure, this is a great bodybuilding supplement and is the closest thing to using insulin for growth. But I want people to understand the overall health benefit it has to those who are insulin resistant. Like pretty much everyone nowadays, I am very sensitive to carbohydrates. And I Continue reading
