what type of test?

[dirtybeast]

just wondering what type of testosterone would be best to use for a powerlifter looking to increase poundages. It would need to be a steroid with a very short half-life im assuming. i have a competition in 9 weeks. any suggestions? i dont wana be caught in testing

y are you competing in the drug free lifting if you want to juice.... makes no sense to me go to a fed that doesnt test

[Squatman51]

and if your going to lift in it anyway i would say go with test suspension it has a detection time of like 2 days or something since its water based and not oil based

Propionate if you take your last shot 2 weeks before the test. 1 week maybe, 2 weeks to be on the safe side. Short half-life, shots every day is the downside.

I agree with the assessment here... I would also look for a fed that doesn't test. then I would use a long lasting ester throughout training... only adding a short ester for the last week or two leading up to the meet.

I have a friend who competes in a federation that tests. He is just starting his use of anabolics after he explained to me that most of the guys in there use. It's just leveling the playing fields now.

Whether this is unfortunate or not, it's clearly the truth. How many years did anti-drug poster boy Ed Coan swear he was clean before he was finally banned for life from USAPL? Etc. While there may be a few real naturals out there with elite totals, they are a minority. This is true in most any drug tested sport, BTW - the countries with the best masking agents and drugs that are ahead of testing technology are the ones that take home the most gold.

Tell him to come lift with me in the APF where they do not test and no one is hiding under the assumption that people are clean... you will find the best lifters there (IMO) putting up the biggest numbers... he wont feel any guilt and he will finally be put to a real test... but then again some people like the feeling of being a big fish in a small pound.

LOL... I know, I know I need to watch my tone... but for some reason I have a hard time with this subject. With feds out there that do not test why lift gassed up in a fed that does... and I understand that many people lift gassed up in these tested feds... I can't figure out the mentality of taking joy in winning against guys who are supposed to be clean... That's why I have chosen the APF... it's a level playing field and the numbers people are putting up are insane (look at the Senior National totals)... then and only then will you walk away feeling great about what you accomplished IMHO.

It is sick what people do so that they don't get caught. When I was younger I thought it was science fiction to do a full blood transfusion, but the Austrian skiers made it a reality. Did you guys see that on the news? They had a miniature transfusion machine in a telephone or something and they would transfuse the number of quarts of blood in their body and then do three more quarts. Basically, they pumped out their old blood and kept pumping in new blood. Crazy! The only reason they got caught was because a banned coach was spotted in the Olympians village.

I didn't see that... it just goes to show with money, fame, and power on the line it's just human nature to do whatever it takes to succeed... I would rather see people be allowed to enhance themselves for sport legally so things of this nature could be avoided... govt. will never be able to stop any kind of drug use... it's really a drug war that can never be won.

It gets even worse when you factor in people who are pillars of the community who happen to use steroids . Decent people use steroids . I don't think there is anyone who would steal TVs and sell their kids to get steroids . Steroids should be in the same class as caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. They have made criminals of us all!
