Why do so many bodybuilders take Anavar (Oxandrolone)?

Steroid cycles without the steroids are somewhat ironic, but they are one of the most sought after cycles in bodybuilding. Why? Well, not all guys want to use steroids. The newer gym rats who just started lifting iron want to try a few somewhat “natural” products before they start with the hard stuff. It’s logical and makes all the sense in the world. If anything, it’s very responsible. Before you jump into a real steroid cycle, maybe you need to learn how to cycle in general.

The compound Anavar’s generic or chemical name is Oxandrolone. Oxandrolone is known for being mild, having just a minimal androgenic component to it. When used responsibly in recommended doses it has shown to cause very few if any negative side effects. Originally this steroid was developed for use in women and children. Anavar is medically prescribed for the treatment of individuals diagnosed with involuntary weight loss caused by chronic or acute injury, infection, or illness. This drug is one of the very few steroids that can even be used by sick patients as it is metabolized by the kidney and not the liver, like most anabolic compounds. It is also beneficial for treating loss of body muscle, the elderly with weight loss problems, cancer patients on chemotherapy, and HIV positive patients. This is primarily because Anavar has the unique potential of restoring and maintaining body weight, especially lean body mass, and can dramatically reduce hospital stay besides improving wound healing compared to standard nutritional therapy alone.

Using Oxandrolone will not bring about stunted growth in children because it won’t close the epiphyseal growth plates prematurely. Medically speaking, Oxandrolone is often used to enhance growth in children and to prevent the onset of osteoporosis in women. It has become very popular for female athletes due to its low risk of causing virilization symptoms to occur. The ideal and safest dosage for women seems to be a range of 10mg – 15mg a day.
Bodybuilders and those into power lifting use Oxandrolone to gain strength and this is done by stimulating the synthesis of Phosphocreatine in the cells of muscle tissue without causing water retention either in the muscles or the joints. Weightlifters and power lifters who do not want to compete in a higher weight class use Oxandrolone to help them gain strength without gaining weight.

When using Oxandrolone with 20mg – 30mg of Halotestin a day you will see a harder look to your muscles. Nice results have also been shown for bodybuilders when using Oxandrolone in combination with 120mcg – 140mcg of Clenbuterol a day.

Using Oxandrolone alone will not bring about obvious muscle growth but it certainly does improve the muscle-developing results of many other steroids when used together. Dianabol (D-Bol), Deca Durabolin and Testerone all work well in combination with Oxandrolone to develop muscle mass. Taking these outstanding substances cause tissue development while retaining fluid brings about gains in strength and leads to more muscle mass. When stacking 200mg of Deca Durabolin a week plus 500mg of Testoviron Depot (or 250mg of Testoviron Ethanate) a week with 25mg of Oxandrolone a day you will see substantial gain in muscle mass and strength in most athletes and male bodybuilders. The reasons why are:

• Deca Durabolin has a pronounced anabolic effect, stimulating protein synthesis
• Oxandrolone increases strength by providing more phosphocreatine synthesis
• Testoviron Depot helps in pumping up for working out and accelerates cell regeneration

Should Bodybuilders Use Oxandrolone?
One of the features of Oxandrolone (Oxandrovar) that makes it so popular is that it will not aromatize into estrogen, when taken in any dosage. Therefore the muscles will not have the typical puffy appearance that many other steroids cause. This makes Oxandrolone (Oxandrovar) ideal in preparing for competitions. It is always important to keep estrogen levels low in order to avoid retaining water, which can happen even if calories are reduced. When used while dieting, Oxandrolone will assist in keeping the muscles hard looking and cut.

Oxandrolone doesn’t necessarily break down fat, but it is known as an appetite suppressant. If the tablets are taken during meals, it can cause bloating which may lead to nausea and vomiting. It can also cause gastrointestinal problems and diarrhea. Even with these possible symptoms an athlete is able to eliminate fat and help their muscles become harder.

For those wanting to compete and desiring a quality gain in muscle tissue you may want to combine Oxandrolone with other steroids like Masteron, Parabolan, Primobolan Depot, Testosterone Propionate and/or Winstrol. What is recommended as being highly effective would be a stack of 50mg Testosterone propionate taken every two days, with a stack of 50mg of Winstrol every two days as well, plus 25mg of Oxandrolone every day.

Side Effects:

Anadrol (Oxandrolone) in bodybuilding is appropriate for those having high blood pressure or for those susceptible to gynecomastia of their thymus glands when using stronger androgenic steroids. For these athletes a stack containing Oxandrolone and Deca Durabolin is a good alternative. This stack is also appropriate for those having symptoms of poor health when trying to build muscle mass using Testosterone, Anadrol or Dianabol (D-Bol). It is recommended that athletes over forty years of age use Oxandrolone.

Another welcome feature of Oxandrolone is that even when taken at very high doses, it doesn’t promote the natural production of testosterone. It doesn’t seem to affect the hypothalamo-hypophysial testicular axis negatively. When taking Oxandrolone (Oxandrovar), unlike when using most other anabolic steroids, the testes send a signal to the hypothalamus to not reduce or cease the release of the Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) and the Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone (LHRH).

Oxandrolone has been shown to combine well with Anadrol, which will not aromatize in dosages up to 240mg a day and will only slightly influence hormone production. If you take 25mg a day of Oxandrolone with 280mg of Anadrol you will see good results in terms of strength gains. In those new to taking steroids there should be gains in muscle mass without excessive fluid retention and no major effects on the production of testosterone.

How and why famous celebrities build muscle?

If you're looking to add muscle mass to your frame, hitting the weights hard is a given. Quality time in the gym begins a cascade of changes that will stimulate your muscles to grow bigger in response to the challenges you throw their way. It's tempting to think that's all it takes to add muscle to your body. After all, you can actually feel your biceps growing after an intense set of curls.

That pump is tangible, real-time biofeedback to let you know that blood is flowing to your muscle cells, beginning a chain of events that stimulates protein synthesis. Maybe that's why it's easy to overlook how important good nutrition is in the mass-building equation. When you choose to eat, say, chicken instead of ice cream, there's no immediate muscle gratification no pump to keep you motivated.
Eating for muscle is just as important as lifting for muscle. The foods you grab in the morning on the way to work, the meals you pack for lunch and mid-afternoon, what you put into your body immediately following your workout, and your final meal of the day impact your results as much as, if not more than, the number of reps you squeeze out at the end of a set. But in reality, it can be tough to stick to a "clean" diet when you're busy. We know that adding another layer of complexity to life in the form of reading food labels and studying ingredient lists just isn't an option for most of us.

It's always a wonder how male celebrities quickly transform into a better shape in a matter of months. For most guys who do hard exercise and strict diet, they don't seem to get as much results in the same amount of time celebrities do. Though supplements that celebrities use aren't a big surprise, knowing the right ones are key to achieving desired results.

Celebrities like Hugh Jackman and Gerard Butler are among the many Hollywood actors that use muscle-building and fat-burning supplements that gained them their "Action Star" physique. It goes without saying that their bodies were a result of combined exercise, supplements, and diet. On the exercise part, surely they had the best opportunities as they were provided Hollywood-grade trainers to help them shape up. In health magazines, most Hollywood actors share their workout routines and diet plans. But not all men are of the same body build. One workout and diet work for one person, and it doesn't for the other.

Ever since the dawn of bodybuilding fame came to rise, there had been numerous brands and types of supplements that promise muscle-building results. Often, it provides dramatic changes only to show inconsistency in the long run. Some have adverse side effects that ruin one man's health.

The term androgen, basically means D-Bol is the best steroid for elevating your testosterone levels to ridiculous levels. Raising testosterone, via D-Bol, is the fastest route to huge gains in size. Arnold Schwarzenegger was thought to have used D-Bol regularly when prepping for his Mr Olympia triumphs. Then you have “combination” steroids that work incredibly well in sync with androgen-based compounds. For example, Deca, is probably the most powerful steroid to stack with an androgen-based steroid (like D-Bol) and can lead to big and fast increases in muscular hypertrophy. However, Trenbolone is also very effective and can work just as well as Deca for some people. Stacking steroids together in this way i.e. combining androgens and non-androgen steroids simultaneously is your best bet for getting jacked in a hurry. Dbol raises your metabolism incredibly, thus eating in a big calorie surplus will help you gain even more mass with this steroid. This will put your body into anabolic overdrive – where your protein synthesis levels will go through the roof and your body will enter a state of muscle building 24 hours a day.

If you want to see some serious results in your bulking workouts, Dianabol is certainly one steroid you don’t want to skip out on. Simply put, it’s the most effective out there. Bodybuilders that use this in their workout plan, such as myself, can see improved muscle mass, strength, and performance in just 4-6 weeks of use. Dianabol is a 17 alpha alkylated steroid and is orally applicable with a great effect on protein metabolism. Dianabol effects protein synthesis and supports a buildup of protein as a result. This setting results in a positive nitrogen balance which can also have a positive effect on well being. Dianabol is a very powerful steroid, in terms of both androgenic and anabolic effects on the user. The result of these effects will result in a great buildup of muscle mass and strength in a relatively quick period of time. That said, its main use is in mass building stacks. Dianabol is commonly combined with injectable testosterone products such as Enanthate, Cypionate and Sustanon, largely to "kick-start" the cycle to improve gains in muscle mass, strength and improve muscle pumps before the longer acting above mentioned testosterone esters go into full effect (this can often take several weeks or more, as in the case of Sustanon, which contains two long acting esters which slow its start time).

A weight gain of 2-4 pounds each week for six weeks is normal when using dianabol (combined with proper nutrition and training of course). This increase in weight results from the hypertrophy (growth) of muscle fibers, as well as water retention. This is due to the fact that Dianabol aromatizes easily and as a result has high estrogenic properties. Since Dianabol aromatizes so heavily, it is important to keep ancillary drugs such as anti-estrogens like Nolvadex or its weaker counterpart Clomid on hand in case symptoms of gyno show up during cycle. Proviron will also aid in this regard. Due to the heavy aromatizing properties of Dianabol, it should not be used by bodybuilders nearing competition, as excess water retention is not desireable at such a time. Since dianabol is a 17-AA steroid, it should be noted that it is liver toxic if used in high doses or over extended periods of time (or both). 15-40 mg of Dianabol per day should be sufficient for the steroid novice, and this dose should not be ran for much more than 4-6 weeks at most, and used mainly to kick-start a cycle as mentioned above. Dianabol only cycles are a poor idea for the novice, since Dianabol is a more powerful agent than most injectable steroids and the athlete should work up to a level in which Dianabol can be used safely in a steroid stack. It is important to understand your body's propensity for side effects and starting slowly is very important.

Dianabol is a steroid for the slightly more advanced athlete. Dianabol only cycles generally involve a higher dose of Dianabol (closer to 40 mg a day) to elicit favorable results - as a result such cycles are generally advised against. When stacked, less Dianabol is needed since the injectable steroid is also aiding the muscle building properties desired. The use of Dianabol in a low dose only to jump start a steroid cycle is the most that is generally recommended for the first time steroid user, and sometimes even this is considered too much, as testosterone only cycles are sufficient for those new to steroids for great gains in both strength and mass. The only benefit Dianabol would add (stressing once again, at a relatively low dose which is all that is required for the first time user) is the psychological edge that the jump-start in the cycle would provide. Such an edge may make an individual more likely to strictly adhere to anabolic training and nutrition principles for the beginning of the cycle when motivation is not otherwise at its peak.

Steroids In Hollywood Actors and Bodybuilding

In the age of superheroes and action stars, is it any surprise that a number of our favourite actors use steroids to boost their physical aesthetics for their roles.

Steroids and human growth hormones are no longer a preserve of cheating athletes and angry body-builders.
A vast number of Hollywood actors use steroids to get their body to a physical peak in order to look better in their individual roles. The pressure on stars to be in perfect physical shape in a short amount of preparation time in many cases leads to the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

With Hollywood pulsing as fast as it’s actors biceps with a new wave of action stars, the debate rages about the ethics of taking steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs  in order to prepare for a role. We take a look at why these actors are taking steroids in Hollywood and ask if it is ethical to do so.

Veteran personal trainer, Happy Hill, who worked with Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Phillip to chisel their impressive torsos, estimates that twenty percent of actors use PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) to bulk up as a short-cut when preparing for a role. Happy Hill discusses the abuse of human growth hormones (HGH) in Hollywood.

“HGH is on the scene now more than ever before,” says Hill, who frowns upon PED use and stresses that none of his clients use any form of muscle enhancing drugs. “It’s hard not to use. Some people, especially the older ones, are looking for that perfect gym body, and they want a shortcut.”

Happy Hill highlights how that chiseled torso and rippling abs are difficult to maintain after 40. However, these actors still have enormous expectation to look great on screen and appeal to younger audiences with their maintained aesthetics over the years. Is the ethical question here about our audience expectations or with the actors who ‘choose’ to take the PEDS?

As Hollywood swells by the year with new generations of box-office draws, the older male stars re further expected to maintain their physical peak as they remain at the top of the studio wish list. The 40-year-old star is equally expected to rip off his shirt and look spectacular just as much as the young superhero star coming through the ranks. And if he does not – people say he is out of shape! The fact is, the six-pack abs are difficult to maintain and according to Happy Hill, trainer to the stars, “unless you are extremely genetically gifted,” it is unnatural and very, very difficult to achieve the Hollywood expectation – especially with the quick turnover of movies in today’s industry. Many industry stars have been open about their usage of PEDs and HGHs. Oliver Stone, Nick Nolte and Dixie Carter all openly express the anti-aging benefits of human growth hormones. Charlie Sheen also admitted that he took steroids to boost his figure for his role in 1989′s Major League. Mickey Rourke and Arnold Schwarzenegger, two of the biggest names in the action world, have also opened up about using performance enhancing drugs. What is interesting is, does any section of the action-movie-fan-base look upon this and frown? We still revere the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger despite his obvious years of steroid use. We are not suggesting by any means that we support the use of HGHs, PEDs or steroids. Quite the opposite. But we raise the question that the debate goes further than slamming these actors and stars for using the drugs, when it is the industry and the machine that sets up the idea that they must fit a certain aesthetic standard if they are to remain at the top. Elaborating on this, Mark Twight, an elite trainer who was responsible for Henry Cavill’s Superman torso has some expressive words to say about the Hollywood steroid debate.

“The guy who uses steroids and admits to it earns more respect from me than the guy who uses but insists he doesn’t and wants his fans to believe he did things the hard way.”
Interestingly, two names right in the epicenter of the PED debate have denied the use of steroids whilst preparing for a role. Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg more recently starred in Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain. The movie glorifies physical aesthetics and makes interesting comments on the expectations of Hollywood actors. The Rock and Wahlberg are enormous in Pain & Gain, as their roles demand it. On the press tour for the film, Mark Wahlberg, aged 42, stresses he never used PEDs in preparation for the role. Todd Schroeder, a USC professor and steroid expert, says that the human body can naturally achieve incredible aesthetic results particularly in one’s early twenties. Natural testosterone production is high at this stage of development, but for older actors, especially those who are cast in a role and are required to get ripped quickly, the temptation to cheat a little may be too great when to achieve the peak naturally, the body would have to go through considerable pain and risk. However, not all people condemn the use steroids. Vlad Yudin, the director of Generation Iron, narrated by Mickey Rourke himself, is less alarmed about actors and body-builders using steroids.  “The more actors learn about it, the more they tend to use it,” Yudin says. “It comes down to how you use it and who can guide you. Without a proper guide, it can be dangerous. And again, it takes a lot of hard work regardless.”

Yudin stressed how famous actors today like Arnold Schwarzenegger used steroids when he was earning titles like Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia. These enhancements and titles helped to launch his now famous movie career. Yudin comments on how the usage of steroids in the body-building community is much less of a debate. Schwarzenegger acknowledges that he was aided by steroids, arguing it was more experimental at the time. As for today, he sees ridding bodybuilding — and any other sport that trades on strength — of the rampant drug use that goes on as a significant challenge. “The drug industry is so sophisticated that there’s always a way around it,” he says. “But that doesn’t mean we should give up.” It is impossible to answer the debate finally without knowing which specific actors are using steroids to aid their development. But one thing is for sure. the use of steroids and PEDs within Hollywood is not solely down to the actors who consume them. It is the responsibility of each and every studio who manufacture a body image that is consumed and expected by their film’s audience.

Dayana Cadeau Ms. Olympia in bodybuilding

Dayana Cadeau, Ms. Olympia 2004, is the oldest participant in the 2011 Ms. Olympia. She's switching to the Physique class next year, but taking her last shot at Ms. Olympia.  Dayana Cadeau is known as much for her good looks and feminine curves as she is for her spectacularly-shaped muscles and razor-sharp definition. The 2004 Ms. Olympia winner in the lightweight divisions fills a flawless physique, has a completeness of mass, symmetry and class few top-line pro bodybuilding champions will ever achieve.





She is always in the competitive mix, holds her own in any line-up. Despite competing as a pro for 14 years without respite she remains a guaranteed draw-card in any pro event she chooses to contest.

Dayana is always a top-tier talent and viable threat to any line-up she enters. Dayana has however, slipped in recent years in her Olympia placements. Once a top-three mainstay, she now battles for fifth, uncharacteristic considering her competition pedigree and the vast potential she showed in the past. While she has the shape and size necessary to win any pro event, her conditioning has lately proven to be her downfall.

She knows she has the look to win, but saddened over her recent run of bad luck, Dayana consulted her doctor. It was made clear that her 14-year pro career had taken its toll. She had simply burned out, with several businesses to run in conjunction with her full-time training requirements. Her physical state reflected in black and white on the judge's scorecards.

10 Impressive Male Celebrity Body Transformations

The most impressive male celebrity body transformations from the worlds of movies, sport and music.

Craig David 
Craig David has been killing it on his diet and exercise regime to reach this level of fitness. The singer/ songwriter looked like he was at a very low body fat percentage in these pictures taken in January and along with the muscle definition he’s gained, his physique is striking. 


Charlie Sheen
Seen first in the 1986 film Platoon, our first celebrity is controversial actor Charlie Sheen. He features in this list as he added a noticeable amount of muscle mass for his role as Topper Harley in Hot Shots Part Deux (1993).

Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo’s physique comes from a lifetime of sport and fitness. He is one of the most successful footballers around, worth an estimated $160million (USD). Although, he has always been lean, Ronaldo has packed on some serious muscle mass since which also seemed to correlate with improved form on the pitch.

Hugh Jackman
If you've seen Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in X-Men, you'll know he's always had the foundations of a great physique, but when Origins: Wolverine (2009) came out we saw a dramatic change in his shape and size and most of all, muscle definition. So what did Jackman do to get to this stage? Mostly big lifts. Bench press, barbell rows, heavy barbell lunges, squats, etc.


Jake Gyllenhaal
When we think of great body transformations we always think back to Jake Gyllenhaal's early days as the troubled school kid in Donnie Darko (2001) and his role as a nerd in 2004's Day After Tomorrow, Jake Gyllenhaal gained 25lbs of muscle for his role as a fearless US marine in the 2005 hit, Jarhead. He then went on to build an even more impressive physique for the 2010 hit movie, Prince of Persia.
Kenzie
So he may not be the most famous name on the list but we felt former Blazin' Squad member Kenzie deserved an honourable mention for his very impressive body transformation.


Ryan Reynolds
Ladies' man Ryan Reynolds has certainly won a lot of new fans since his transformation from his days of Van Wilder (2002) to his 2004 role in Blade Trinity. Since this transformation, his popularity has grown at a ridiculously fast rate, winning him underwear modelling campaigns with companies such as Hugo Boss. His success proves that it's not who you know, it's the abs you grow that gets you places!
 

Taylor Lautner
For those of you who have seen the Twilight films, you will know that Taylor Lautner is shirtless throughout most of the movies. The reason for this is that he is fully stacked and Hollywood know how much teenage girls enjoy this. Taylor has transformed from (lets be honest) a weed, into a heart throb, packing on some serious muscle mass along the way.
 

Will Smith
He may have always been cool but here at Predator we think that Will Smith's transformation from the skinny teenager from The Fresh Prince to the ripped physique from I Robot, Ali and I Am Legend is well worth his place in the list.



Gerard Butler
Gerard Butler’s torso in the 2006 hit 300 has been labelled as one of the most impressive male physiques on the big screen and we can see why! His lean muscle gains are apparent when looking at the before and after photos featured above. This muscle has done wonders for his career and Gerard is considered one of the most attractive men in Hollywood because of it (so we are told by the women of the office) proving once again that bulk is best.

Top 10 Sexiest Female Bodybuilders

There is an interesting dichotomy in the world of fitness today, over what defines a healthy body image. In large part, thin people, both male and female have, for a long time, shamed those considered fat or overweight. It’s interesting that in many centuries previous to the 21st, heftier people were (in some cultures/areas of the world) considered the attractive ones, as a surplus of body mass usually indicated that one was of the upper class, therefore being able to afford better food and larger amounts. Recently, however, there has been debate over whether being overweight actually has the negative effects it has long been believed to. Some doctors argue that some body types naturally carry more weight in certain areas, and other simply argue that each person actually has their own healthy weight and that such determinations cannot be generalized for entire masses of people. Finally, there is the consideration of whether constantly berating, insulting and condescending people who are carrying an extra few pounds will wear on their psyche and cause mental problems. It makes sense that it will. There are quite a number of female bodybuilders who look fantastic. There is nothing wrong with a woman who loves to pump iron.

Kai Greene demolishes delts

Flux refers to continuous change and movement, the opposite of stasis. A constant state of flux best describes any Kai Greene workout, there’s nothing static or predictable about the man or the way he trains.

In many ways, Greene is a throwback to the old days of bodybuilding. His attention to posing and presentation are on par with Ed Corney’s, Frank Zane’s, and Mohamed Makkaway’s. His workouts, predictable only in their volume of exercises, sets, and reps, have much in common with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s and the Gold’s crew’s high volume routines. Like Arnold or Sergio or Serge, Greene presents a physique that is truly unique from year to year and show to show. One Olympia he comes in streamlined and aesthetic, the next he’s packing so much mass you scratch your head doubting he could add another ounce of muscle. Greene’s physique is complete from his one huge dread lock down to his toes. His deltoids are completely developed through and across heads.

The Grossest Synthol Freaks

Feast your eyes on our latest freak show gallery of Synthol abusers from around the world. Forget about tone, forget about definition, forget about symmetry, forget about strength, all that matters to these gentlemen is having the biggest, gnarliest, most pillow-y biceps on the entire internet. Body dysmorphia comes in all shapes in sizes, but these guys* only come in two: big and weird.

These substances are injected directly into the target muscles, where they stretch muscle fascia. The theory is that as they are broken down by the body over a period of several months, the space left by them is replaced with new muscle tissue growth. Upon injection, roughly 70% of the oil remains in the muscle, while the other 30% is absorbed into the body as lipids. These substances do not inherently contain any androgenic steroids although users of site enhancing oils are of course far more likely to use performance enhancing drugs. As with any non-medically administered injectable, usage carries high risks.

When used judiciously it is the subject of great controversy in the world of competitive bodybuilding. Bodybuilders can utilize these oils to make subtle changes in lagging muscle groups that can be difficult to detect by appearance alone.

When used recklessly, the result is...

Famous Celebrities Who Are Sneakily Sort Of Built

This is a tribute to all the celebrities who put in work at the gym but don’t always get any recognition for it.

Dave Chappelle
When Dave disappeared from the spotlight for a few years, he was at the gym. Being in good shape is a bit of a taboo among comedians, the fear is that people won’t think you’re as funny. Dave doesn’t care about any stupid taboos.

Chris Pratt
From Parks and Rec to starring in the number one movie in the country (Guardians of the Galaxy), Chris Pratt’s career trajectory has followed his physical transformation.



Tim McGraw
Tim’s is great shape for a cowboy who’s never spent a day working on the farm.

  
Common
Rapper-turned-actor Common falls into the more intellectual category of hip-hop, but that doesn’t stop him from staying in shape like his thuggish counterparts.


Matthew Fox
Since starring in the show Lost, Matthew Fox has gained.

Matt Lauer
Not what you’d expect from a newscaster in his mid 50′s.


Milo Ventimiglia
He’s been in a bunch of shows that guys don’t really watch unless they’re just feigning interest while trying to get laid.
Robery Downey Jr.
