Testosterone Suspension Cycle

Testosterone Suspension is the most powerful and pure form of testosterone available. Being pure testosterone, it comes with a very short half life at as little as two hours and therefore requires regular injections to maintain blood levels. For this reason it is not as widely used as the more common ester forms of testosterone which can be injected much less frequently. Testosterone Suspension Cycle Guide This form of testosterone is not an ester, but is a water based derivative of testosterone. Esters are oil-based and the difference here is that testosterone suspension has a short half life with the downside of needing more regular injections to keep up your concentrations of the compound. But this comes with the major benefit that it is taken in rapidly by the muscles. What is Testosterone Suspension? This is a potent and powerful type of testosterone and does have a popular following amongst some bodybuilders due to the fast results that are possible, but m...

Bodybuilding vs Powerlifting Squat

TAGS BODYBUILDING , POWERLIFTING & STRENGTH , SQUAT , TRAINING HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW... After the newbie stage, you need to pick between getting stronger or getting bigger and squat accordingly. Mix lower rep squats and higher rep squats for hypertrophy (8-12 and even sets of 25 or 50) and use lower rep squats for strength (1-5). Tempos with a slow eccentric are often useful for bodybuilding squats but usually have no place in powerlifting squats. A longer time under tension is great for hypertrophy, but not so great for strength. Generally speaking, use a high-bar placement for bodybuilding squats and a low-bar placement for powerlifting squats. For building muscle, mix up short rest periods and long rest. When training for strength, have a minimum of three minutes rest between sets to maximize recovery and strength. A bodybuilding squat requires a narrow stance while a powerlifting squat is best approached with a hip dominant stance. To maximize res...

Horse Meat Vs Beef – What’s the Difference and Should We Be Eating It?

The Nutritional Value of Horse Meat vs Beef Calories According to nutritional data , 100 grams of cooked horse meat contains 175 calories, with 55 of those calories coming from fat. By comparison, 100 grams of standard ground beef with 30% fat has 273 calories with 164 of those coming from fat. While you may be able to find processed beef products with less than 30% fat, unless they are specifically labelled (and we’ve seen just how well that works) the fat percentage can be even higher. Fat Content Horse meat is listed to be containing only 6 grams of fat per hundred grams, 2 grams of saturated fat and 64 mg of cholesterol. It’s not surprising, with most horses eating more grass than processed grain pellets, that their meat would be relatively low-fat. Ground beef is listed as having 18 grams of fat in total, with 7 grams of saturated fat and 1 gram of trans fat. Total cholesterol is 82 mg. Intensive cattle production uses lots of fattening grain pellets as the primar...
