The use of peptides by bodybuilders is still relatively new... so in an attempt to find out more about their applications and benefits I interviewed one of the premier research scientists at a lab responsible for their production.
In the weeks ahead I will examine many of these substances, but I thought I would start off with one of the most popular products on the market, the peptide known as Long R3 IGF-1 ...
The Nickname "Hollywood" was lovingly given to me by a group of strongman nestled deep within the backwards Pennsylvania mountains sometime last year as we sweat our asses off during a routinely brutal strongman training day.
My white sunglasses I donned that day and apparent Hollywood charisma (Do I really have charisma? Or are most people just brutally boring? idk) sparked the camo laden country music twangin' crew to award me such a moniker.
In the U.S., Dell Taco is Lying and the Grocery Store is Robbing You!
The first things many of us think of when we hear the term "Mexican food" are tacos, burritos and fajitas. While those items are just the very tip of the Mexican gastronomic iceberg, they have been perverted by Americanization to the degree that what you can order at Del Taco can't even be found in Mexico. I don't mean by name; I mean by execution. For example, a taco in Mexico does not have a hard shell, and it's not filled with seasoned ground mystery meat, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, and sour cream. A taco in Mexico is nothing like that. A taco in Mexico is made with a soft corn tortilla (sometimes two) and it's filled with meat - real meat - none of it chicken. (There are however chicken "taquitos" that are made from chicken meat rolled in a corn tortilla and deep fried. But those are not found very often, and you really don't want them).

NEED2SLIN IS THE NEXT GREAT BODYBUILDING SECRET REVEALED!
Identifying the prime directive of bodybuilding is quite simple: build muscle and burn fat. Merely saying so is the easy part. Actually doing it is a whole other story. That’s because the optimal (not to mention successful) execution of the endeavor requires that you do both concomitantly.
Anyone who’s ever cinched up a lifting belt knows that’s no easy task. That’s because bodybuilding is a complete departure from what your body wants to do. Our bodies are programmed for efficiency and survival, not bodybuilding. What that means is that your body is constantly striving for an equilibrium that keeps metabolically active tissues to the bare minimum. Your body’s natural adaptive response is to rid itself of excessive metabolically active tissue (muscle) and maintain adequate energy stores (fat). In other words, it only wants what it needs. If you have ever broken a bone and been in a cast you know what I’m talking about. The adaptive response to your arm being in a cast will be atrophy after several weeks of not using it. And the lack of activity the injury caused you will likely make you a bit fatter than before the mishap.

First in line is Human Growth Hormone.....
So, first of all, why is Growth Hormone such an attractive drug to bodybuilders?
