    Llwellyn's Anabolics books

    Hi all. I'm am trying to learn more about steroids. I have found a book series called Anabolics by William Llwellyn. Does anyone know if these books are any good? They are kind of pricey but I see they have a Kindle version on Amazon for $9.99, much cheaper than the $60 version of the book.

    Can anyone recommend this book/author?

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the feedback. I did a google search on the Author and he seems very reputable. I prefer reading books rather than web-sites.

    Credibility. The author has Reference citations so I know it has some scientific research/background. The problem I find with Internet boards is you don't know anything about the person behind the keyboard.

    no, meant the format, your still basically reading off a monitor, you said you prefer books.

    once you know who is who here then you're landed, but if you prefer inaccurate crap, buy the download. theres guys on here with alot more credibility, trust me

    Organization and flow is usually better in a book. Also, if professionally edited, books are better written and contain less mistakes.

    Thought is usually put into structure and format of a book. Websites can be a mess at times. Plus, it's portable. I don't always have a computer/internet connection available.

    jez, your mixed up in your priorities mate, you'd rather have flowing BS than spend alittle time researching and sifting? i'd rather the latter than be mis-informed by the former

    Learning from a pool of experienced people just might be more valuable once you hang here long enough to discern who knows what in the heck they are talking about. And that usually doesn't take too long to figure out because if they don't? Someone will call them out on it!

    ps: not mentioning any names! LOL!

    considering the FREE up to date info on this site and on the net, $10 is too much

    Everything you need to know is right here, look at the educational threads. Alot is referenced from scientific journals. Better yet, alot is from real world. I don't understand your logic of a free flowing bullshiit tbh.

    William Llwellyn's books are top notch

    Don't take advice on how good something is from people who don't even have the book

    It's like all the n00bs that post on here giving people advice on how to run a cycle from info they regurgitated from another url
    when they themselves have never even seen real steroids before

    The top 3 bodybuilding related books I would recommend

    Which book are you referring to?

    The modern encyclopedia contains zero info on cycling and just warns of side effects

    Underground handbook is all about current UGL's contamination levels/fakes/the business of running an UGL

    And anabolics 10 (below)




    Stack 2 is enan/cyp @300-500 week

    I don't see anyone recommending a tren/deca or multiple compound only cycles



    ???????????????????

    Wow, that cycle is complete crap. You get only 3 weeks of gains on that. I would've chosen a better example from the book.

    IF you look at the informational threads here, the ones with scientific info they all have bibliographys for your personal research.

    also learning here you can learn the lingo which helps in a pubmed search. I can find any study in 10 min on pubmed depending on what i want.

    ^^^ and you think gradually increase dosage throughout the cycle and 40mg's of nolva during the cycle is correct

    pretty sure he just spamming the book

    there are alot of things that change over time,, especially cycle does and donts. Do your own research and make conclusions based on all the data,, not just one forum.

    You can get some basic info from books but you can't take it all as if it's correct. Even the updated version contain old info - depending on the author. Some guys are set in their ways and only believe in one way of doing things. You're limited to one guys viewpoint.

    I knew nothing about steroids or cycling..... Been on this site for about 5 years now (3 yr lay off) and i've got a pretty good handle on things..... and yet i'm still learning everyday.

    If you want to buy the book..... buy the book - as long as you know that it's one mans viewpoint and not all fact. There aren't any studies specifically tailored to bodybuilding so what one guy says is good or bad is irrelivant. Use other methods of research in conjunction to the books and formulate your own opinions and beliefs.

    good luck,

    That is fantastic advice. Thank you. I'm going to find some time tonight and try to read over the preview of the book.

    I agree Haz, some books are good if you want some basic information and a quick reference. Profiles always make good reading and the more you read the better understanding you can get of the compounds.

    ok I came across as a bit of a dick, I wasn't trying to call you out.
    Thought you were trying to say that the books I had advocated multiply compounds for a first timer
    I posted the cycle from the book up only to show they didn't advocate the such
    I agree the cycle sucks balls

    those books are the best,hands down...

    Not sure if youve noticed but the guy writes the same thing for all compounds, just changes the names. He has a write up about superdrol in it on how you can expect big muscle and strength gains but in his recent muscular development magazine he states superdrol is nothing but glycogen loading that makes it appear like youve gained size. This guy doesnt know where hes standing imo ...

    Couldn't agree more with this post ^^^ I started researching aas about 6 years ago and my first research tool was the current anabolics book by llwellyn. I thought it was very good info at the time before I discovered this site. After researching and talking to other experienced guys here, I quickly changed my mind. I would say that the books can be useful when just learning about the make-up and general information about specific compounds, but that's about it.

    look the underground anabolics book is kinda interesting but you really dont need it. it mentions testing of samples from certain labs to see if the dose is right and to see if they have any contaminants but even that is kinda inaccurate because to really do that you need to do it over a long time to paint a bigger picture of the quality of the lab. he didnt do that for the info in underground anabolics.
