Prohormones and the Importance of EFA’s

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are essential oils that support many of the body’s systems. Although critical for good health, they are also very important if you are considering using prohormones. Before going straight into how EFAs help your prohormone cycle, let’s look at some of the benefits of EFAs in general:

Supply essential oils to the hair, nails, and skinHelp lubricate the jointsHelp maintain healthy cholesterol levelsHelp the body use fat as energy (help to reduce body fat)Help build muscle tissueReduce inflammation

The above list by itself may convince many of you to add Essential Fatty Acids to your regimen. But what about their effect on prohormones?


First of all, prohormones are fat soluble. That means in order to break down and absorb properly, they need to be in an environment that contains fat. Taking a couple of fish oil capsules with your prohormone is insurance that they will digest and absorb properly.


Secondly, prohormones, or any anabolic/androgenic hormones, can increase inflammation. Inflammation can be unhealthy and may even limit your muscle gains. Taking EFAs during your prohormone cycle will help mitigate some of this inflammation, which could in turn increase recovery and muscle growth, while also keeping inflammation and cholesterol levels down. It’s an awesome 1-2 punch that really makes a difference in your results.


Anyone looking to add muscle, get lean or be healthy should add Essential fatty Acids to their supplement regimen. If you are going to use prohormones it’s even more important, and you may be limiting your results without them.


The best EFAs on the market? My vote goes to Prograde EFA Icon. It’s high quality Krill oil which is higher in Omega 3 than fish oil and lower in contaminants. Check it out.

Should you take prohormones if you’re FAT?

Anybody considering taking prohormones wants something. Many people want more strength and muscle mass, and others want a lean, ripped physique. Prohormones can help you take your body to the next level no matter what your goals are, but what are the limits? Specifically, should someone who is very overweight take prohormones to try and cut fat?


In my experience, it’s not a good idea to use prohormones if you are very overweight. If your body fat percentage is over about 25%, you will be much better off dividing your fat loss regimen into 2 phases:


Phase One: Use moderate intensity cardio, circuit training, and a fat burner such as Ephedra-X to help cut your body fat percentage below 20%. This phase may take anywhere between 4-12 weeks, depending on your body composition and your diet. In this phase, its a good idea to cut carbs down (not out) and eat a high protein, high fiber diet. Basically, meat, vegetables and protein shakes.


Phase Two: Once your body fat levels have fallen under 20%, you will get much better results from a prohormone cycle (more on this below). Adjust your routine to use high intensity interval training (HIIT), and consider carb cycling. This will accelerate your fat loss and put your metabolism into overdrive without sacrificing muscle mass. Now is also the time to use a good cutting prohormone. Manifested and Reaper are two of the best ones available. Continue your fat loss program through your PCT, for a total of 8 weeks. At the end of phase two, you should be much leaner and harder, and you will probably have more muscle mass than you did when you started. It’s a win-win.


 


So why the two phases? The problem is what being fat really does to you. Fat cells store estrogen and release it into your system constantly. This means that you are more likely to have negative estrogen related side effects from a prohormone cycle if your body fat percentage is high. In addition, being fat reduces your insulin sensitivity, meaning you are more likely to get fat from regular eating. It’s a positive feedback loop that makes losing fat very difficult once you’ve reached a certain point.


So if you’re over 20% body fat, follow the 2 phase plan. You will get better results and have fewer side effects from your prohormone cycle. Questions? Contact me Here.

Silverback DNA – The Most Overlooked Mass Building Prohormone?

 

The DNA line of prohormones by Xcel Sports Nutrition is an amazing line-up. Each one combines cutting edge prohormones with support ingredients such as liver support, anti-aromatase, and test support. The DNA line is very popular, and for good reason. One thing I’ve noticed though is Silverback DNA is much less popular than its mass-building cousins – Sasquatch and Mammoth.


This is unfortunate because I believe Silverback DNA is every bit as good as its bretheren, and qualifies as one of the best mass-building prohormone supplements on the market today. Let’s check out the ingredient list and see what it has to offer:


 


As you can see, Silverback combines Trenedione with LMG Max, Methylstenbolone, Cyanostane, and Halodrol. That’s a super-potent combination and will definitely add slabs of mass and strength. Now add that to 5a-Hydroxy laxogenin and combine it with built-in cycle support, and you have an amazing prohormone supplement.


The choice is yours, but if you are considering a mass-building prohormone, I would consider Silverback DNA.

Want more mass and strength? Kreapump is Here!

Xcel Sports Nutrition just added another incredible product to its already superior line – Kreapump. Kreapump combines advanced forms of creatine with Agmatine and Beta Alanine for a supercharged formula that will boost your size and strength to new levels!


Whether or not you are using prohormones, you should consider adding Kreapump to your regimen. Creatine is one of the most studied supplements ever to be on the market, and it has been proven to work to improve muscle size and strength. When you add the Beta Alanine and Agmatine, you get a synergistic effect that takes creatine to the next level.


Here’s how it works: The AGmatine SUlfate dilates blood vessels by increasing Nitric Oxide levels in the body. When your blood vessels dilate, more blood and nutrients are delivered to your working muscles, including creatine. This increases the absorption and effectiveness of creatine, while also supplying more oxygen for better endurance and recovery. In addition, Beta Alanine increases serum concentrations of carnosine. Carnosine lowers hydrogen ion concentration, also increasing muscular endurance and recovery.


The bottom line is that Kreapump works to increase muscle size, strength, muscular endurance, and recovery! Kreapump will take your workouts to the next level and help you get more from your hard work. If you are considering using prohormones, Kreapump will help you get better gains too.  Check Kreapump out here: http://www.hardcoresportsnutrition.com/kreapump-by-xcel-pineapple/


 

Get Better Results from your Prohormone Cycle with X-Blend 7

The new protein recently released by Xcel Sports Nutrition really is a next-level protein supplement. Many studies have shown that when you combine fast and slow acting proteins, your body becomes more anabolic and builds more muscle. The fast acting proteins such as whey isolates and hydrolysates create a “burst” of amino acids into the muscle – putting it into a positive nitrogen balance and creating an anabolic environment. The slower releasing proteins such as casein create a “time-release” effect, slowly trickling amino acids into the muscle to improve recover and keep it growing.


An advanced protein supplement such as Xcel X-Blend 7 will also contain some carbohydrates to increase insulin response and replenish glycogen levels in the muscle tissue. Healthy fats are also added to make sure your body is getting all the nutrients it needs.


With flavors such as Banana, Strawberry, Vanilla, Chocolate and Cookies & Cream, you don’t have to have a bland post-workout shake.Add it to your regimen and you will build more muscle and improve your recovery.

Winter is around the corner – time to Bulk up!

Thanksgiving is around the corner and colder temperatures are here. That means lots of food, family get-togethers, parties, and long-sleeved clothes. The colder months are the perfect time to bulk up and add some sheer mass to your frame because you won’t be taking your shirt off for a while. Also, nobody is going to notice if you are a little bloated. After all, it’s the holidays!In the spirit of adding quality mass, here are the Top 5 supplements for bulking up:1. Blended protein - A blended protein such as X-Blend 7 by Xcel has a lot of advantages if you’re trying to add mass. The multiple release rates help the amino acids stay in your system longer and prevent catabolism. A blended protein also gives you different amino acid profiles which is optimal to feed your hungry muscle tissue. As good as whey protein is, a quality blended protein takes it to the next level.2. Mammoth DNA - I had to throw this one out there since we’re talking about mass. Mammoth DNA really is the most mid-blowing mass prohormone on the market today. With multiple bulking compounds, built-in liver support, and a time-release formula, Mammoth is no joke. If you are considering using a prohormone to help you add slabs of muscle to your frame, Mammoth is the top dog.3. BCAA’s - Branched Chain Amino Acids are used by your body for energy during intense exercise. If you don’t get them from your diet, your body will suck them from your muscle tissue. That’s the opposite of what you want if you are trying to add muscle, so consider adding BCAA’s to your regimen. You can use an advanced formula such as Ultimate BCAA by Xcel, or you can just pop a few capsules of a pure BCAA supplement such as Prograde BCAA’s. Either way, you will be doing your body a favor and you’ll get a boost in muscle mass and strength.4. Creatine - Creatine has gotten a bad reputation over the years, and it’s mostly due to people with bad information. The good news is that modern forms of creatine are much better than the old monohydrate powders (which worked well). Advanced formulations such as Kreapump give you highly absorbable forms of creatine with boosters such as Agmatine and Beta Alanine. If you haven’t used creatine before, you will probably be amazed by the difference it can make in your strength, muscular endurance, and overall muscle mass.5. Carbohydrates - Carbohydrates may be the most anabolic substance on the planet. If you are trying to bulk up, it’s time to ramp up the carb intake. Of course, you don’t want to overdo it and get fat, but adding some extra carbohydrates to your daily regimen will prevent muscle loss and drive glycogen and water into the muscles. This is a truly anabolic effect, and you don’t even need a supplement to get it. If you are a hard gainer, try adding a serving or two of pasta to your diet. You will probably feel and see a difference in just a day or two. Many pro bodybuilders such as Jay Cutler bulk up in the off-season to add muscle mass.
