D-BOL®

*Since its introduction just over 18 months ago, D-BOL is fast becoming the mostpopular oral pro-anabolic available. D-BOL has a special formulation containingmethadrostenol™ that may exert a pronounced ergogenic action in the body after oraladministration similar to those experienced by users of methandrostenolone.Methandrostenolone is the most popular oral anabolic steroid currently used today. D-BOL, however, lacks the c17 alpha alkylated configuration, which maycomparatively lower the risks of certain associated side effects. Several users of D-BOL are reporting of extremely dramatic muscle size and strength gains. Empiricaldata suggests myocytic anabolism (muscle growth) relative to methandrostenolonetablets with notably less water retention. D-BOL is considered by many authorities tobe the most powerful non-prescription performance enhancing oral preparation todate.

WINNI-V®

*Cyclostanozol™ is a powerful non-prescription chemical hybrid that is reputed topossess highly stimulating, non-virilizing and pro-anabolic properties. High qualitymuscle gains are reported with as little as 1-2 tabs taken before workout, during acycle. Many users claim of lypolytic (fat reducing) effects analogous to thoseexperienced when using stanozolol tablets. The addition of a potent chemical synergistto this composite has been shown to allow for absorption through the mouth, whichallows a high percentage of the active ingredients to bypass digestion. This highly bio-available mixture is extremely fast acting producing a surge of energy in mostusers. Each tablet takes approximately 30 minutes, if slightly chewed, to completelydissolve under the tongue. The gains made while on a cycle of Winni-V have beenreported to be very solid and well maintained once use has been discontinued.

LIQUID ANODROL®

*Many users claim Liquid Anodrol to be the most powerful OTC pro-anabolic productavailable. Incredible mass and strength gains have been reported after only twoweeks of use. Anodrol is a topical lotion that is applied to the skin surface similar totestosterone creams and patches. The active ingredient in Liquid Anodrol calledoxymethobol™, is not alkylated or methylated in structure and may possess a lowerrisk factor with use when compared to oral steroids with these toxic configurations.Oxymethobol has a natural time release effect and may produce the most dramaticmuscle and strength gains of any product currently available. A few users interviewedclaim of improved mass gains when stacked with powerful orals such as D-BOL.Anodrol is definitely recommended as one of the main components of any stack forgreatly enhanced results.

26 OCTOBER 2007 \ www.ironmanmagazine.com

Since the beginning of recorded history man has been looking for immortality. Ponce de León was believed to have been search-ing for the magic fountain of youth when he discovered Florida, and while we know that water is essential to life, we have learned that we need a multifaceted approach to living healthfully if we’re going to have what I call “dynamic longevity.” Living a long time is really pointless if you can’t do the things you want to do.

In the final analysis, genetic predisposition is probably the single strongest factor that determines how long we live, but many other elements that we can control play a very large part in not only the length but also, more important, the quality of that life. In the mainstream media people often speak of quality of life, but the bar they set is low. There’s a long continuum from their definition to mine, just as there’s a line from being not sick to being healthy.

At IRON MAN, we say, “We know training,” and we have always de-fined training in a very open sense. While working out with weights—a.k.a. bodybuilding—is the cornerstone of IRON MAN’s multifaceted approach, we believe it enables all that follows. Without the workout the other factors involved will have greatly diminished effects or be ineffec-tive. Anaerobic work—that is, weight training, bodybuilding—becomes the indispensable activity that lays the groundwork for physical trans-formation. The transformation that it creates in a teenager occurs at an astonishing rate, but, as we all know, the rate drops considerably as we get older. Even so, the bodybuilding workout remains the center of any possible transformation regardless of a trainee’s age.

We have seen a revolution in orthodox medicine as it has discovered what we already knew and IRON MAN has been saying since it was founded by Peary and Mabel Rader in 1936. Bodybuilding benefits every body. The marvelous thing about bodybuilding is that it is totally adapt-able. Do you want to put on more weight or take it off? You can be in a wheelchair or in a power rack—the tools and effect are the same. When you work a muscle anaerobically, it gets stronger, and whether you’re a young trainee, an older trainee or training from a wheelchair, it’s the road to self-sufficiency.

In future editorials I’ll elaborate on IRON MAN’s definition of training. I have started a blog at IronManMagazine.com. Click on Blogs at the top of the screen to read it, and let me know your thoughts on this subject and those I discuss there. IM
