I Get Lean With A We all know how to diet, right? You decrease your fat or your carbohydrates, you add in some cardiovascular training, and debit five hundred calories per day. Then at the end of the year you will have lost 52 pounds of fat and life will be wonderful. Blowjob! I think we all stopped believing that about the same time we found out that Joe's Anabolic Megapacks were not going to pack on the pounds a la Dorian Yates. It constantly amazes me easy weight-loss could be, with the proper assistance from doctors and pharmacies. Is it any wonder that Americans spend millions on diet books, herbal diet pills, hypnosis, etc when the answers to fast easy weight-loss are running around so rampantly on the internet? Could it be because expensive diet drugs like Zenical or Redux have such wonderful profit margins? Whatever the reason, the purpose of this article is to outline some of the best diet drugs out there and give a few pointers on how to use them properly. This article is aimed towards those men and women who have already decided to self-medicate themselves, this is not intended for the average person who buys into the current medical party line. For those of you who have already pierced the veil and seen into the greater world of performance pharmacology, this article is for you. ANABOLIC
STEROIDS Dieting causes both fat and muscle loss, this is a universal truth. The trick is to loss the most fat and the least muscle. This is where our little anabolic friends come in. Steroids act powerfully against the process of catabolism; the process in which your body breaks down existing muscle mass for immediate energy. Therefor, most male dieters who are willing to use drugs should use some sort of steroid therapy. I would recommend testosterone at a moderately high dosage and some deca-durabolin or anavar. Yes, deca-durabolin will cause water retention, as will the testosterone, but when you come off the cycle the water will fall off. The most important thing to remember here is that you want the strongest androgen base you can afford and tolerate so that you lose as little muscle as possible. If you are concerned with holding water and have access to winstrol, trenbolone acetate, and primobolan these drugs could be used. However, this is not an article on contest prep, but rather getting yourself down to a maintainable low level of body fat. With this is mind it is best to disregard the water retention aspect of most drugs. Explicitly I would advocate weekly dosages of 500-1000 mg of testosterone per week (I would use a faster acting testosterone like propionate if I could, taken daily) along with 300-500 mg of deca-durabolin per week. Trenbolone could be used at dosages of 50-100 mg taken every other day. T3 Thyroid
Hormone There are two approaches to using T3. One, outlined in Duchaine's BodyOpus, involves keeping your metabolism at a high, but not unnaturally high, rate. Basically you are using the T3 to keep your metabolism to what it should be despite your low calories. You monitor your temperature and adjust it upwards with thyroid hormone. This is not my preferred method of using T3. Duchaine admits that maintaining this "optimal metabolic rate" with drugs is going to cause your natural thyroid axis to shut down, usually for about eight weeks. Why then, if you are already going to have this shunted natural output, shouldn't you use enough T3 to put you "over the top." To this end, T3 should be used for six week periods at dosages of between 75-100 mcg. I have just recently seen an email wherein someone talks about using 200 mcg of T3; apparently the "pros" he knows do this. Great, and I bet our compatriot weighs 160 pounds. Too much T3 is catabolic. You need to find balance, grasshopper and balance in this case is in the dosage range I recommended. Cytomel works amazingly well for women too, but increased catabolism will be observed. If a woman is not going to use AS (and using a drug like deca durabolin is not going to turn them into some sort of monster) she would be better off using T3 as outlined in Duchaine's book, just to keep ahead of the game. Dosages for women should be lower then those used by male athletes, I would start with 50 mcg per day (even that is considered high by some people) and work up slowly from there. Fitness models live on T3 and clenbuterol because it means they can eat like shit and still look good. The temptation with this drug is too use it constantly to replace proper eating. Bad idea, ever wonder why fitness models have careers that last about two years. That's about the longest a body can stand up to the cytomel, clenbuterol, and cocaine before it shuts down. Do not consider the cytomel a license to gorge yourself. The lower your calories the better the drug works. You can use cytomel to not get fat, but that is a very dangerous habit to get into. Amphetamines The most powerful amphetamines are the illegal ones, cocaine and methamphetamines. Ironically it is probably easier to get access to these drugs then most steroid compounds or diet drugs mentioned in this article. The biggest problem with amphetamines is that they are addictive. I have never seen a sensible cocaine dosing schedule that permits weight-loss without addiction. The risk of addiction with less powerful drugs is not enough, in my book, to recommend against them. The stronger drugs are going to be more addictive, a milder drug like Tenuate is not going to addict as quickly. Still these drugs should be used in short spurts. The second problem with amphetamines is that you just don't eat. Great huh! No- you need to eat something to keep up muscle mass and also maintain some degree of thyroid function. The sensible solution. Use Tenuate with T3 and use an alarm clock to remind you to eat at least enough protein to maintain your level. Ephedrine
and Clenbuterol An interesting note about dosing schedules for these two drugs. Clenbuterol has a very long period of action and a long half-life. The key reason clenbuterol is not used in the United States is that the drug has a period of action of about 10 hours, which is considered too long. Doctors prefer shorter acting drugs that require more frequent administration, which is why albuterol is prescribed in the United States. The half-life of clenbuterol in the body is also rather long, over 48 hours. This means that the commonly recommended method of taking clenbuterol, the two days on two days off split, is not effective. It is far better to adhere to a two weeks on two weeks off method as detailed later. Ephedrine has a period of action of around 6-8 hours, but caffeine extended the duration of this action. DNP So lets put all this together. We have three classes of drugs that have been briefly presented.
But none of this is going to do you much good if you are eating like a hog. Losing fat involves dieting. The above drugs can be used to eat like shit and stay looking good, but the purpose of this article is not to encourage sloppy habits that are covered up with habitual drug use. Whatever style of dieting you use, be it high carb or low carb, keep the calories low and the protein high. How low should the calories be. Throw out all that you think you know about deficit caloric dieting. With the T3 being used as I advocate you only need to be concerned with keeping your protein high, and total calories very low, around 12 calories per pound of mass. I would keep protein at 2 grams per pound of weight. Most of the drugs mentioned above over in action, tenuate is both a metabolic rate stimulator and a hunger suppressant. I would propose that for man dieting to keep as much mass as possible the following program be adopted. Week 1: Begin use of heavy androgen therapy, preferably starting with a strong base of testosterone. Decadurabolin or primobolan may be used as well. Week 2: Continue steroid dosages, but add in 75 mcg of cytomel per day. Begin using clenbuterol at 100 mcg per day. Week 3: Same as week 2 but increase cytomel to 100 mcg per day. Increase clenbuterol to 120 mcg per day. Week 4: Stop using clenbuterol. Use ephedrine, caffeine, aspirin (and yohimbine hydrochloride at 5-10 mgs three times daily if you can tolerate it. Yohimbine is something of an anti-diuretic so don't worry about the water retention; the drugs fat burning properties out-weight the water gain) ) three times a day (standard ECA stack dosages). Take one tenuate dospan immediately upon waking up. Week 5: continue as in week 4 Week 6: Stop using ECA and tenuate, go back to clenbuterol at 120 mcg per day. T3 stays at 100 mcgs per day Week 7: Same as week 6, only use 140 mcg of clenbuterol and 75 mcg of cytomel. Week 8: All steroids stop, all T3 stops. Resume ECA stack. Do not let your calories get out of control, your metabolism will be sluggish in this recovery period. The ECA should help blunt the hunger, but do not let your mentality change. You are not out of the woods yet and you shouldn't begin the celebratory feast. Manage your food for another 6 weeks, at which point your thyroid levels should be back to normal and you will have a true perspective on what you have accomplished. Wait at least 8 weeks and repeat. Now I am going to bring up the single biggest problem facing dieters and that is…their psyche. You have spent years backing on all this muscle and the though of losing even an ounce is like a punch in the kidneys (hey…your kidneys are already overworked anyway). So what if you have a little flab, a little gut. By god you can bench 350 pounds for reps, you don't need a six pack. Girls like bigger guys, they understand that power comes from the gut! Sure buddy…and I got these magic anabolic beans. Realistically what happens is this. The diet begins and you begin to drop weight. The lack of calories and carbohydrates makes your muscles appear flat and smaller. Your strength is way down, despite the stimulants. You begin to imagine that you are wasting away. So what happens, you gorge yourself…you blow your diet and waste all the time and money you spent! So what can be done. Here are my recommendations for mentally preparing yourself for dieting.
I hate to sound like some sort of mainstream diet book pep talk, but the above mental preparations are as important as the drugs I discussed first in the article. Without understanding the mental pitfalls you face, you are ill-prepared to embark on any diet, much less one accompanied by heavy stimulant use. Trust me, the drugs will not increase your sense of well-being. They are designed to mimic adrenaline in the body, you will not usually feel perfectly at ease. That is why mental preparation is so important. Remember - do or do not…there is no try (Master Yoda). That brings me to the end of this article. I got a lot of great feedback from the last article and Jason has decided to keep me around as a staff writer (the first for anabolic extreme). As Jason well knows, this heady honor has already meant that I squandered my meager paycheck (It was written on a napkin, in crayon, and cents was misspelled…but Jason is over 300 pounds so you know you expect that) on cocaine and prostitutes. Seriously though keep the comments and questions coming, and I will do my best to get them all answered in a timely fashion. I give all correspondence serious consideration as I feel that's the what Anabolic Extreme stands for and so far everyone who has written me with any questions has gotten as thorough an answer as possible. I can be reached at childe_roland@hotmail.com for now. Jason can be reached at jason@anabolicextreme.com. Copyright 2000 Jason Meuller and Anabolic Extreme.
