Nandrolone Phenylpropionate (NPP) - Profile

Image
Durabolin, more commonly known among bodybuilders as Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, or just  NPP ,  is a close relative of the popular steroid Deca Durabolin . However, due to the fact that for a long time NPP was hard to find and the available servings were not convenient, this steroid was rarely used by anybody. Luckily, in recent years underground labs developed durabolin in all kinds of dosages, making it more  accessible and practical  for use. Therefore, this steroid deserves a special attention, because it is more than just Deca Durabolin with a different ester. HISTORY Since NPP and deca share the same active substance –  nandrolone , their history is very closely linked together. Few people know that nandrolone as such was developed in  1957 , and the most popular version of this steroid was actually the one with the  phenylpropionate ester  attached to it. Nevertheless, a new version with the  decanoate ester  has been r...

Proviron (mesterolone)

Proviron is an oral DHT steroid compound similar to Masteron. Although it is not an ideal compound for building muscle (actually it is not good at all for this purpose), Proviron is helpful in stacks because of its unique ability to keep the body from turning testosterone into estrogen, thus giving the testosterone a better anabolic effect. This aids the bodybuilder in many ways. First, it helps reduce estrogenic side effects of other steroids water-retention, lowered sex drive, gynocomastia, etc. Also, Proviro n can help boost the potency of testosterone in the body by freeing testosterone from its binding to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Proviron is therefore best stacked with testosterone, which makes taking anti-estrogen compo unds unnecessary. However, Proviron can cause high blood pressure so blood pressure medication may be required for those prone to hypertension. Proviron® is the Schering brand name for the oral androgen mesterolone (1 methyl-dihydrotestost...

Making the Transition from Traditional Cycling to Cruising

One of the many questions I have been asked as of late is the benefits and pro's & con's of Blasting & Cruising vs Cycling. This is a great article from Iron Magazine that I have found that sums things up really well in my opinion. Hope you enjoy it. Peace, Paul While some may argue that PED use has become overcomplicated in today’s drug obsessed bodybuilding sub-culture, previous generations took a much more straightforward approach. Overall, steroid selection was much more limited, being comprised primarily of Deca and D-bol, while those preparing for shows might throw in some Primo, Anavar, or other non-aromatizable AAS readily available at the time. Unlike today, steroids were viewed as an addition to one’s program, not the centerpiece around which everything else revolved. For this reason, they were absent from the regimens of most for a substantial portion of the year. More so, there was a very clear distinction between being on and being off, with both c...
