We don’t need another one of those!” That’s probably what a lot of people were thinking when this book hit the shelves. It’s what I was thinking every time another book on Anabolic/Androgenic Steroids hit the marketplace. And for the most part, I was correct! So what makes this one different? For starters, it’s not written by a “Guru”; I’m not trying to sell you on my personality. It’s not written by an “Oracle”; I’m not trying to give you tons of mystical information, without explanation. I’ve spent a good portion of my life in pursuit of knowledge…and, to some degree I suppose I have been successful. I simply wish to share some of that knowledge with you, if you’ll let me. This book has been a collaborative effort, with writers and researchers from Steroid.com helping out in many ways. Some of the profiles herein have been partially researched or written by them, and not entirely by me. All of them have been exhaustively checked and double-checked in an effort to bring you the highest standard of work. I have also been greatly helped by the staff and members of various anabolic steroid discussion boards around the internet, but none more so than the ones I have cultivated personal and in some cases, intimate, relationships with the staff. To many of them I owe a debt I can never hope to repay. I would also be remiss in my duties as an author if I didn’t inform you that much of the groundwork for this project was predicated by those who came before me in the field. In particular, I am deeply indebted to Dan Duchaine for his pioneering work in the field of Anabolics as we know it today, as well as to Karl Hoffman for elevating the quality of current Anabolic Steroid paradigms to levels heretofore unthinkable. Both of them will be missed by many, myself especially. I am of course indebted deeply to Brian Clapp, who believed in me enough to produce and publish the work you now hold in your hands. I am going to reserve my final dedication here for something a bit different; I had originally thought to make a dedication at this point to my family, and friends who are so dear to me, that I could scarcely imagine completing a project of this magnitude without their continued love and friendship. That final dedication, however, I am going to reserve, as disused, and leave unstated. The simple fact of the matter is that dedicating a book to them would be redundant, as I endeavor each day to live a life which will make them proud, and in some way justify the friendship and love they’ve shown me for the past twenty seven years…this book, therefore, will not be dedicated to those who I have already dedicated my entire life to. At best, it can be seen as only a small part of a life that is hopefully lived in such a way as to thank them for being a part of it. It is only as a result of their friendship and love that, were I given a chance to live my life over again, exactly the same way, I would gladly take it. 7 Chapter 1 Why Anabolic Steroids? “There comes a time in a man’s life where, if there are no windows or doors, he must walk through a wall.” ~Bernard Malamud If you’re like me, you learned about the Declaration of Independence when you were in grade school—if not, that’s the thing that says, “All men are created equal.” You then went out into the schoolyard for recess, and for some reason, maybe you couldn’t run as fast as some of your classmates. Perhaps you couldn’t jump as high, or throw a ball as far. All men created equal? Bah! What a load of garbage! Let’s talk a bit about genetics, ok? There have been a ton of studies on genetics, and basically, current research from the Bouchard Labs strongly suggests that up to 50% of the variance in athletic performance, potential, and adaptation to training is genetic. In other areas such as height, the genetic contribution to inter-individual variance is around 80%. Basically, the Bouchards have suggested that athletes are born, and if they aren’t, then they are certainly born with more potential to react favorably to training. How about gaining or losing weight? Are you always struggling to gain weight? Are you always struggling to lose it? Bouchard's work in this area states that there is familial aggregation of Body-Mass-Index (BM) and other body composition characteristics such as body fat percentage, metabolism of adipose (fat) tissue, etc. Bouchard’s work claims that genetic heritability is responsible for between 25 to 40% of these traits. Wanna be even more depressed? Check out your fingers and which is longer, the index finger or the ring finger? The ring finger in males is usually longer than the index finger; however, the fingers are about the same length in females. This suggests the role of testosterone in early pre-childhood development (Manning, 2000). The more testosterone you produced as a fetus the longer your ring finger got, so the smaller the index/ring finger ratio.
