EXTREME Q&A
by Jason Meuller

           CHECK OUT THE NEW AE INSTANT MESSENGER!!      

We've added an instant messenger system to the discussion boards and it's really cool.  This will be a great way for members to stay in touch with each other, and get questions answered instantly by monitors.  Simply click the AE Instant Messenger logo at the top of the discussion boards and sign up.  Here's a few tips..

  1. Once you're signed up, you'll need to add members to your friend list.  Simply click the FIND FRIENDS button, then click the submit button on the next page.  This will bring up a list of AE members that are currently signed up for the IM service.  Be sure and add all the current monitors (me, Grendel, MMX2, and The Blonde Myth) to you list.

  2. Every time someone attempts to add you to their friend list, a java window will appear on your screen asking if you'd like to add them as a friend.  If you'd like to add them, be sure to click on their name, then click the add a friend button.  I only mention this because I spend 20 minutes clicking the add a friend button and I couldn't figure out why no one was being added to my list.  Again, click their name first, then the add a friend button.  I know, I know, I'm retarded.

  3. If you'd like to stay online and chat with people on the AE board, simply minimize the IM window.  It won't interfere with your other programs and every time you're contacted by one of your AE friends, a simple java window will appear on your screen.  See you on the boards!!

HOW DO I  MAIL STEROIDS SAFELY INTO THE US?

Question:  I live in Europe and have recently discovered your web magazine and have been greatly impressed with what I have read and learned. Here is my question. As I said I live in Europe and have a friend living in California, and I want to send him gear through the mail. I know that it is illegal and that the US customs check everything coming from outside the U.S. How can I package everything so the gear makes it through Customs and my friend does not get into trouble? Any info about successful gear shipping protocol would be greatly appreciated.

Answer:  Although the author of this question asked me not to answer him via the Extreme Q&A, I'm going do so anyway since I won't be revealing any particular secrets.  Successfully mailing a package into the US is a bit like gambling.  There are things you can do to better your odds of winning, but there's always going to be that risk of losing it all.  Anyone who tells you they've devised a foolproof method of mailing packages is either 1) full of shit or 2) hasn't mailed enough packages to get caught yet.  Even SBC and Getwood have had packages confiscated, and they've got the best packaging I've ever seen.

The most important thing to remember when mailing packages is that size does indeed matter.  A small, light package has a much better chance of making it through Customs than one of significant size and weight.  Think about it.  If you're a Customs agent or Postal Inspector, you want to find drugs.  Not only do you want to find drugs, but you want to find a lot of drugs so you can go back to the office and have a few drinks and cigarettes with the boys while you discuss your major haul for the day. "Good thing we got those killer drugs off the streets boys.  Hey, give me a triple shot and keep those cigs coming!" Opening an envelope with a gram or two of coke isn't going to get you the same accolades as finding a kilo or two of raw Columbian powder.  So, when you're mailing packages, keep them under a pound and pack them as economically as possible. 

The second rule of thumb is that the country of origin matters a great deal.  A package from Thailand, for example, is much more likely to be searched than a package originating from England.  Certain countries are considered hotbeds of illegal drug activity by Customs and the US Postal Service, and you can bet that a package originating from a place like Amsterdam is probably going to get searched in some form or another.  Determining what countries are considered "hot" by Customs is really just a matter of common sense.  If it's easy to get drugs in a particular country, it's probably on the list.  If you know it's easy to get cocaine in Columbia, I would bet that Customs does too.   

It's important that you carefully pack items!  Nothing will get a package searched faster that if it's leaking a suspicious fluid or has pill-like items rattling around inside.  Sloppy packaging will almost ensure that your gear gets confiscated, so take care packaging your precious goods. 

The last general rule of thumb is that timing can be crucial when mailing your package.  What do I mean?  Well, there is no better time of year than now to try to get a package into the country undetected.  Mail volume increases to an unbelievable level during the Christmas season, making it difficult for packages to be inspected. 

There are many other little tips to get your mail order gear safely into the country, but I've covered everything that I'm willing to discuss here.  The bottom line is, every time you attempt to mail drugs, whether it be steroids or a scheduled narcotic, you're breaking a host of laws.  The consequences of this can be very serious, and I don't advocate anyone doing so.  Remember, there are no certainties as to the consequences, just because you know someone that got a slap on the wrist doesn't mean you will in the exact same situation.  Be safe.

WELCOME TO MEXICO!! 

Question:  I love your site, it rocks ! I have a question. I've been living in Mexico for about 3 years now. I haven't taken steroids for about 6 years, but would like to do another cycle. What kind of stack and dosages would you recommend for the drugs available here?? This is a list of what I can get (once I actually go shopping, I will send prices for the other viewers to compare)

Deca - 300mg/ml or 50mg/ml - from Ttokkyo labs or Organon
Test Enanthate - 250mg/ml - from Sheiring
Sostenon 250 - Organon
Andriol 5mg/tab - Organon
Test Cypionate 100mg/ml - Ttokkyo labs
Reforvit B - 25mg/ml - ??
Dianabol - 5mg/tab - Ttokkyo labs
Winstrol V 
Anavar 2.5mg /tab - Ttokkyo labs
Halotestin - 2.5mg/tab - ??
Primobolan Depot 50mg/ml - Shiering
Plus Clomid and Nolvadex

 What would be the best stack with any of these drugs? I can get Growth Hormone, but would rather not take it.  Thanks and keep up the good work on the site.

Answer:  Mexico is becoming increasingly more attractive for the steroid-using bodybuilder these days.  With the proliferation of Australian steroids (check out www.ausvet.com) and operations like Ttokkyo, Mexico has become a virtual anabolic smorgasbord.   

As far as recommending a cycle for you, I'd stick with the oldies but goldies, testosterone, deca, and dianabol.  The best buys in Mexico on these products are T-200 (Tornel brand), nandrolone la 300 (Ttokkyo labs), and Revorfit-B.  The Reforvit should be taken orally, 1 ml contains 25 mg of methandrostenolone.

DANTE FROM HARDCORE MUSCLE 

Question:  I've been reading the AE message boards and I've seen that Dante from Hardcore Muscle is going to be writing for the magazine.  I used to subscribe to Hardcore Muscle back in the day and thought it was a great publication.  However, I was a little pissed off when I paid $30 for a years subscription and the magazine stopped coming.  Can you explained what happened?

Answer:  I'm very excited to get Dante on board, both on a professional and personal level.  Dante and I have been friends for many years and have been through a lot together.  It was he who taught me how to REALLY train, his style of training was the basis for all of the Hardcore Training articles that I've written for the magazine.  He's also one of the most knowledgeable bodybuilders I've ever met, Hardcore Muscle was the FIRST publication to talk about things like Synthol, IGF-1, and a host of other breakthrough topics. 

I know a lot of people loved Hardcore Muscle as much as I did and were sad when the magazine seemed to drop off the face of the earth.  However, unlike many other HM readers, I had the unfortunate luxury of knowing exactly why the magazine stopped production.  I know a lot of you who were regular readers or subscribers of HM felt like the guy who wrote the above email, but I can assure you, Dante had a great reason for stopping the mag!!

In 1996, Dante and I (along with another individual who shall remain anonymous) were arrested for our involvement in a rather large steroid deal.  How large?  Well, below is a partial inventory of the items that were involved in the deal…

1388 2 ml amps of sten
57 bottles of laurabolin
77 bottles of reforvit-b
10 boxes of gonadotropyl-c
100 amps primoteston depot
13 bottles of norandren
 

We were arrested by agents of the Department of Justice, DEA, and FBI.  Although none of us were sent to prison, we all were convicted of multiple felonies related to the deal.  This unfortunate incident spelled the end of HM.  The officers involved in the arrest knew that Dante produced a bodybuilding publication that discussed steroid use, and Dante decided it wasn't prudent that he continue the publication. Doing so would be similar to the publishers of High Times getting busted in a huge pot bust and continuing the produce the magazine.

Dante's now been dormant for several years, still training as hard as ever but choosing not to share his knowledge with the rest of the bodybuilding community.  I'm not sure of the exact date he'll start producing material for AE, I just know it had better be soon!  Dante, are you reading this?

As a side note, the average weight of agents of the Department of Justice increased by over 20 lbs in 1997.  Things that make you go hmmmmm….

HOW DO I GET HUGE??

Question:  I've been bodybuilding for several years now (3 to be exact) and have decided to try and compete at the National level.  I'm currently 5'10" and weigh approximately 245 lbs at about 10% bodyfat.  I've done well locally but don't feel I'm big enough to do well at the next level.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to put on any additional muscle. 

I've been training using H.I.T. workouts and eating nearly everything in sight.  I'm also taking fairly high doses of gear, about 500 mg of sustanon weekly, 25 mg of dianabol per day, and 400 mg of deca per week.  Still, my bodyweight isn't moving.  What can I do at this point to add more muscle?  I was thinking of using GH and insulin, but would like to get your input first. 

Answer:  The most common question I'm asked is How do I Gain More Weight?  Of course, the question really being asked is how do I gain more muscle.  In this particular instance, the person asking the question is fairly advanced, someone who's weighing a muscular 245 lbs at 5'10" is certainly no slouch in the physique department.  However, he's right, that's probably not big enough to do well at the National level.  Many AE readers contact me seeking detailed information which I unfortunately do not usually have the time to provide.  However, I can give all of you some general information I've gathered from training hundreds of clients, both in person and through email. 

The very first thing that I usually find to be the causative factor in a bodybuilding plateau is lack of sufficient caloric intake.  Most people simply fail to realize the enormous amounts of food it takes to take their bodies to extreme levels of development.  The most important part of any bodybuilding program isn't your workouts or drugs, it's your diet.  Without sufficient nutrition, you will not gain muscle.  And an individual who's this large already had better be eating constantly if he's trying to add even more muscle.   

The second reason I find that people aren't progressing is due to their workouts.  The most common mistake I see people making with their workouts is overtraining.  In all honestly, it takes more discipline to not overtrain than it does to go in the gym and over do it.  Time and time again I've had to convince clients that what they were doing was simply too much for their body to handle.  In short order, they start gaining muscle again.  I've also found that people stay on any given program for far too long, and their body has adapted to the stresses they're putting it under at the gym.  Frequent changes should be made to any workout program in order to induce maximum levels of muscular hypertrophy. 

The very last thing I assess is an individuals drug use (for those that choose to use bodybuilding drugs).  Rarely to I find this to be a problem, but it's the first things most bodybuilders will point to when they stop making progress.  We'll, I'm not gaining muscle so I'd better increase my dosage!!  However, in this particular case, I think the bodybuilder in question would definitely benefit from upping his doses, particularly of testosterone, as long as he's eating and working out properly!!  That's a key concept and must not be ignored.  Drugs should be the very last issue you address when evaluating you bodybuilding program.  If you're not eating and training properly, all the steroids in the world won't make a bit of difference. 

 We try to impart as much free information as possible here at AE to allow bodybuilders to make the best decisions when it comes to eating, training, supplementation, and drug use for their particular goals.  For those of you that desire more personal instruction, I am available for on-line and telephone consultations.  To learn more about the program, visit the training link on the AE website.  I'm happy to say this individual signed up as a client and is now weighing 265 lbs with very little gain in bodyfat.  We upped his calories, changed his workouts, and added some additional gear to the mix and viola, we now have ourselves a national contender. 

Questions can be submitted to Jason Meuller via his email address jason@anabolicextreme.com.  Due to the large volume of mail received, we cannot guarantee a personal reply.  However, we do try to answer as much email as humanly possible.
