Are You Testosterone Deficient?

On a cloudy day, time moves less clearly than it does on a sunny day. Harken back to the summer days of youth, before the responsibilities of a job or family required one to pay attention to the passage of time. It wasn’t until the streetlights went on that one realized the sun had set and night had covered the neighborhood in a cloak of darkness. The activity on the streets settle as children are called in, even the dogs and squirrels sought shelter as they prepare for their nocturnal slumber.

Glycemic Index and Fat Loss

For many years we were told the keys to losing weight and staying healthy are to exercise and eat a low-fat/high-carbohydrate diet. The public evidently heeded this advice as epidemiological studies have shown that dietary practices of Americans have shifted accordingly. Yet, despite this shift, the incidence of obesity and diabetes in America has reached epidemic proportions, particularly in children and adolescents. This phenomenon has been explained as a result of an increasingly sedentary lifestyle and consumption of nutrient-dense food.

Brrrrrr, can you feel that chill, guys? We'd all best fetch our thermal undies, whack up the heating to “11 and wait out what could be a very, very long winter. I am of course referring to the repeat of Big Ramy's sensational and decisive win at the Mr. Olympia, so for now, winter is clearly here to stay. For at least a couple more years at least, I'd estimate.

Dietary Nitrates And Nitrites: Harmful? Helpful? Or Paradox?

“Eat your veggies, they’re good for you!” is a commonly heard mantra at dinner tables everywhere. We, especially health-conscious bodybuilders, know that veggies are good for our bodies and minds. Nevertheless, we may not know all the reasons why. It may just be that veggies provide necessary vitamins and minerals for metabolism and antioxidant protection. It may be that they contain colon healthy fiber to make you regular. Recent evidence suggests that it may not be the vitamins or fiber that bodybuilders and athletes should be focusing on. Green leafy veggies, and the roots of the same, are rich in inorganic nitrate, which has been getting more scientific press as of late.

THE STEROID SAFETY DEBATE Studies With REAL Dosages

If you so much as mention anabolic steroids to the average person, you usually get some pretty cross looks in response. State that you are actually considering a cycle, and you are likely to be lectured to about the tremendous health risks you’re about to undertake; how your hair might fall out and your testicles might disappear; or how your body will be eaten away by cancer. Or maybe you will just lose your mind to uncontrolled fits of psychotic rage, or suffer a life-threatening heart attack. You’ll probably hear something like, “Is all that really worth it – to build a little more muscle?” Clearly, the American public has been given a very strong message about steroids: Stay far away from them; they are deadly! You can’t convince too many people that smoking a joint will really cause a 16-year-old kid to pull out his dad’s gun and shoot his friend in the face, but for some reason, the “over-the-top” anti-drug message with steroids seems to have worked. Most people are legitimately terrified of them.
