Of all areas of bodybuilding I feel posing is still one of the most misunderstood concepts despite it

being primarily what the sport is all about. Unlike out counterparts, Olympic and powerlifters,

weights are not a part of the competitive process. They are a means to getting a desired effect. Its

how well this finished product is displayed that can determine the final outcome. Notice, I said "can determine". Anyone who's been in the sport awhile has seen their share of controversy, which

sometimes add to the confusion posing has in the judging process, especially among beginners.

What I will attempt to do is give my perspective of posing. By getting down to the nuts and bolts, I hope that someone may benefit from it. Because, make no mistake about it, posing counts!

To start with there is one thing that has to be done before posing can be the least bit effective on

stage. You have to be prepared, meaning you have to be in the best shape possible. Only then will

posing is a factor. There are magic throws, magic punches, etc. for other sports. Unfortunately

there aren't magic poses. Only weeks of intensive dieting, training and mental anguish.

Components of Posing

I feel posing has three components:

Mechanic - body positioning during a pose or the execution of the pose.

Strategic - hiding weaknesses, showing strengths and exploiting weaknesses of competitors.

Artistic - transitions and showmanship

Now this is just me talking so lets not go cross-referencing with every muscle magazine you can

find. Now each of these components plays a vital role during a certain stage in a contest. The catch is to know when to apply one or a combination of these components. For those who are not

familiar with contests, you have 5 stages or rounds of posing.

Round 1 - Symmetry

Round 2 - 60 second compulsory (no music)

Round 3 - Comparison

Round 4 - 90 second compulsory (with music)

Round 5 - Pose Down

The breakdown you see here is primarily at NPC sanctioned meets. I've competed in Europe on a

number of occasions and the breakdown is much different. Primarily the morning and evening

routines are both to music and the same length.

What I will attempt to do is breakdown each round and go over the component or components

best suited for each round.

Round 1 - Symmetry

This round consists of quarter turns in which judges view and compare the front, left, right and rear of contestants.

Purpose - To evaluate:

1. Overall frame

2. Proportions

3. Width (front and rear repose)

4. Thickness (left and rights side repose)

Components - Mechanic and Strategic

Notice conditioning is not listed above. Conditions play a factor in the later rounds. I made a

highlight of overall frame because it's crucial. This element will determine to a great extent how far a bodybuilder will go in their career. We can all put on more size or get in better condition or bring up lagging body parts, but a bodybuilder's framework is why genetics is a household word for us. Shoulder to hip ratio, short torso, long legs, low rib cage, these are things we cannot control and in extreme cases, will keep a wanna-be competitor off the stage all together. As I said before, the primary components in this round are Mechanic and Strategic.

During repose we're all suppose to stand a certain way in uniform fashion so the judges can make

the best comparison possible. Good mechanics is essential because of the uniformity involved. In

Round 1 a superior competitor can actually trail their inferior competitor if their mechanics are off, and the inferior competitor is reasonably close in other areas.

Where does the strategy come in? After all we're just standing. Nowhere is this more profound in

Round 1 than the left and right repose. The side repose has changed dramatically from its original form. If you happen to have a pre 1979 muscle magazine with line-ups, take a look at it. Today's side repose shows competitors twisting at the waist with arms outstretched to the front and rear. One of the purposes of the side repose is to evaluate thickness from chest to back. To do that there shouldn't be a profound twist in the waist and arms should be at the sides. The practice of twisting at the waist came about during the dawn of female bodybuilding. Then the female competitors lack the thickness to do the traditional side repose. So they were allowed to twist at the waist to give more substance to the pose. Another example of this is the front and back lat spread, which was removed all together. Somehow this practice managed to spill over to the men's division and now everyone is doing the repose twist. Now more and more contests are enforcing the traditional side repose. Contestants lacking the side thickness to excel in side reposes will still test the waters by doing the repose twist in hopes that they can get away with it. I even have my clients do it who presently lack the side thickness. Hey! You take what you can get.

Round 2 - Compulsory (60 seconds, no music)

This round consists of a 60-second free style routine with no music.

Purpose - To show the judges all positive aspects of a competitors physique.

Components - Mechanic and Strategic

In my eyes this is the most critical point of the competition. From this point the judges will

determine their call-outs. If a competitor is going to get a crack at the top 5 and eventually a first

place finish, it will be here. Too many times I feel competitors don't take this round seriously

enough or they don't understand the gravity of it. The strategy is to show their absolute best

qualities and hope the other competitors fail to do so. It's seen often in local shows. You'll have

competitors doing handstands, splits, somersaults and the like on stage. That's great.... If your

doing the evening show. In Round 2 there's no time for frills.

What I find most effective is to have two posing routines, one 60 second routine and one 90

second routine. That 60-second routine contains good mechanics and ten to twelve of the absolute

best poses. Notice I didn't have Artistry mentioned. The 60-second should have good transitions.

But not very artistic because artistry is time consuming.

When I'm talking best poses I'm talking pose selection. Poses are like clothing. A person may like

a certain line of clothing, however, they may not complement them very well. Selection poses is

very similar. At this point a person must have a good grasp of their assets and select the right

poses to best display these assets. Take for example, we have a bodybuilder with a symmetrical

front. And it's obvious that's their strong point. There are literally scores of front poses. We will

have our bodybuilder do many of these poses noting the poses that best exploits that strength and

discarding the ones that don't. We will continue this process of elimination until we have the best

poses for their front. Usually when a bodybuilder determines their best poses, these poses will

remain with them throughout their entire competitive career, providing where aren't any major

changes in their physique.

Round 3 - Mandatory Round

This round consists of competitors being compared in standard poses.

Men Women Emphasis

Front Double Bicep Front Double Bicep front symmetry and width

Front Lat Spread N/A front symmetry and width

Ab & Thigh Ab & Thigh abdominal and thigh detail

Side Chest Side Chest thickness and symmetry from chest to back

Side Tricep Side Tricep Tricep thickness and detail

Rear Double Bicep Rear Double Bicep back detail and thickness

Rear Lat Spread N/A back width

*Most Muscular N/A overall muscle thickness and detail

(*Not generally requested, but as I see it, is used often if competition is close)

Purpose - Precise placing of competitors.

Components - Mechanic and Strategic

Now it's tome to get down to the nitty gritty. It's time for the call-outs and until those first five

individuals are called front and center indicating the top 5 in most cases. Time is virtually standing still. If Round 2 was successful, meaning a competitor gave a solid 60 second, no frills, good transition, show-em every asset I've got routine, then they've probably left a good impression on the judges and stand a good chance of making the first call-out.

At this point the dieting and the self-denial begins to pay off. Conditioning is most critical at this

point. As in Round 1 mechanics is very important due to the uniformity involved. Each pose needs to be executed to its fullest to bring out the best in each physique. Round 3 is also when strategy is most important. On many occasion I would hear preline-up prep talks in which competitors are being told either to hit their poses first or hit their poses last in order to steal a competitors thunder. To hold their strong poses longer such as a front double arm bicep or to maneuver closer to possible competition. To switch sides in order to show more balance than your competitors, example side chest and tricep. To practice secondary movements and flexion, to draw attention from the judges. This practice can make you or break you because if you want the judges looking at you then it's paramount that you are in the best shape possible.

Round 4 - Compulsory Round (90 seconds to music)

Purpose - Showmanship and Entertainment

Components - Artistic and Mechanic

Although the contest has pretty much been decided by this point, you wouldn't know it by the

disposition of the competitors. However, the mentality of the competitors have somewhat changed. At this point the fans, families and friends become the primary factor. I have not met a bodybuilder who did not want to give a great showing to their audience. Because they're the ones despite the outcome that are going to say "You did great!" or "Congratulations!" despite how you may feel at the time. So artistry and showmanship is the best way to show them your appreciation.

Although I mentioned earlier about having two posing routines, the 90 second routine maybe

nothing more than the 60 second routine with a few frills and well synchronized to music. The

music should be an extension of the competitors personality. Sometimes when a competitor tries to be what they are not, it can have a detrimental impact to the audience. The 90 second posing

routine was not designed to be work. Enjoy yourself and the audience will enjoy your routine too.

But it goes beyond just giving the audience a show worth enjoying. As a bodybuilder goes higher

on the competitive ladder, showmanship may make the difference in their income. When a pro

bodybuilder guest poses it's all entertainment and showmanship. And it's how well it's done that

can determine any future bookings or shows.

Round 5 - Pose Down

Purpose - Gives the audience, a final look at competitors.

(Gives judges time to tally scores...)

Components - Strategic and Mechanic

Although pizza is prevalent on the minds of competitors now, no one wants to let their guard

down. The competitors want to give the audience a final look at all of their assets and exploit the

weaknesses of their competitors. Although it's informal at this point, good mechanics is still

essential. Never let your guard down!

I've given you my interpretation of the importance of posing during competition from start to finish. I hope that it can give some insight to anyone wishing to compete or enhance his or her own posing program. I would like at a later date to discuss in depth the components that I mentioned earlier. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will try to get back to you as soon as I can.

O.K. we've got our diet, water intake, exercise routine, cardio, supplements, sauna, tanning, inspiration, shaving down, daily routine, and posing. It's time to start talking about Posing Suits!!!

There are 100s of styles, cuts, colors, and designs!!! The big secret is to find the right combination that shows you off the best!!! Also, if this is your first Bodybuilding Contest, DON'T GET THE SKIMPIEST DESIGN THEY HAVE (THE ONE THAT HAS A LOW CUT FRONT AND 1/8 INCH SIDES) I recommend the European Posing Suit, by Andreas Cahling: a legendary suit designed to show off the best of the bodies. This suit is designed for the competition-ready individual. About 3/4" in the sides featuring a full cut back and seamless front. This suit is comparable to Speedo racing suits our athletes wore in the '96 Olympics. For bodybuilding competition, I recommend having at least 2 posing suits. Your suit might fit well two weeks before a show; but if you drop some weight, the next smaller size suit might be needed contest day. As for Pre-contest tanning- tan in suit or tan nude to avoid being white around your suit. Try your suit on well in advance. You can find this brand of posing suit at web site:

O.K. we've got our diet, water intake, exercise routine, cardio, supplements, sauna, tanning, inspiration, shaving down, daily routine, posing, and posing suit down. It's time to get into position for those final laps of the race; this is what separates the men from the boys and the women from the girls!!! This is the No Holds Barred time period!!! You think, eat, drink, breathe, walk, talk, GOD DAMN EVERYTHING TOWARD THIS CONTEST!!! It's you and the stage!!!

One thing I would like to talk about quickly before we go into Phase Four (The Final Phase) is that starting at week 1, I'm sure everyone you come in contact with will have advice for you and try to give you some guidance (I'm sure most of it is meant well). This is why I wanted you to not only follow this program but educate yourself along the way, so you can determine what does and doesn't work for you and the difference between good advice and someone talking out their ass!!! No matter what happens you have to understand one thing, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS, AND ONLY YOU, DON'T BLAME ANYONE ELSE!!! You are responsible for your own destiny!!! The harder you work and the more educated you become, the better the chances of success!!!

***One that walks into a gym with knowledge walks out with accomplished goals***

Phase Four = week 16 "Contest Week"

Phase Four is the last 3 laps (this is what it's all about. If you are not in position by now, you will not win; but if you did what you were suppose to do in the earlier laps, you are in position. Now it's time to push everything to the limits and give it 110%. This is the "Dash for the Glory")

SECRET TIP - Glycerol (2 packets) with 10 oz water and 4 grams of Creatine Monohydrate 5 hours before stage time.

Review of SECRET TIPS:

SECRET TIP - Stretching out: Between sets, always make sure that you stretch out and stretch out good. This will not only allow you to get more of a "pump" (thus increase your muscle storage capabilities) but also, decrease the Lactic Acid level which causes soreness the next day!!!

SECRET TIP - Sauna: The Sauna's main purpose is to get rid of LOOSE SKIN and TIGHTEN YOU UP "Giving more of that RIPPED look". Two tips: take a large zip lock bag of ice in with you and suck on the ice cubes while you relax in the Sauna (this will help you keep your cardiovascular system under control and also keep you mouth from drying out); also after 15 minutes, walk out of the Sauna and dry yourself off with paper towels (should only take 1 minute) and jump back in (this will cause your body to generate more sweat and also ensure that the toxins that have been excreted are removed). Then, repeat this process after you build up another good layer of sweat. For me, I dry off at the 15, 20, 25, and 30 minute marks since once I start sweating, it flows like a river!!!

SECRET TIP - After hitting a Heavy / High Intensity Workout, it's very important to intake a High Carbohydrate Drink, within 30 minutes of your workout!!! This will ensure that the Glycogen storage levels in your muscles are filled to their maximum capacity!!!

SECRET TIP - MCT Oil "Dietary Fat": You need fat to burn fat. So make sure that you substitute as much fat intake as possible with dietary fat. This will enhance your body's fat burning process, increase your metabolic rate and help in reducing any losses in lean muscle tissue during your diet phase!!!

SECRET TIP - Thiomucase "Topical Cream" and DMSO: Hulkster Jr's Fat Attack Spray!!! On weeks 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 you'll apply a light coating of the following mixture to your ab and love handle area just before leaving your home to get in your morning cardio. Get a spray bottle and empty one tube of Thiomucase Topical Cream in it, then add in 3 cups of DMSO Liquid. Shake well and now you have a very effective dispersing agent spray that will help not only decrease the fluid retained in the fat cells, but also enhance the fat burning process during your cardio session. You utilize this product at one week on then one week off, then repeat. Most athletes notice a mild burning sensation when they first spray it on, this is very normal. But, if you notice the formulation of a rash or any other abnormal side effects, stop utilizing it.

SECRET TIP - Distilled Water: switch to distilled water the last two weeks before the "Show". This will ensure that you flush out your system completely and also reduce the mineral / sodium intake.

SECRET TIP - Niacin: (100mg tabs) 10 tabs with ¼ cup wine 30 minutes before pumping up before stage time (when you take the Niacin, chew up the tabs really good and then drink the wine, YES I know this will taste somewhat nasty, but it will allow both products to get into your system faster).

SECRET TIP - Glycerol "Hydrating Agent": (2 packets) with 16 oz water and 4 grams of Creatine Monohydrate 5 hours before stage time. Later in the article, I'll talk more about this product and where to get it!!!

SECRET TIP - Friday Routine: Stay home and rest. After 7:00pm weigh-in (night before the Show) eat at Outback Steak House, 12 oz Steak (medium rare), Baked Potato with butter and sour cream, 8-oz water "distilled", No DESSERT!!!

SECRET TIP - Preparation-H: After your evening "pig out meal" apply to your ab and love handle area Preparation - H and cover with Saran Wrap. What you do is apply a thin layer across the areas to be utilized. Then wrap your midsection with Saran Wrap, this will cause the area to become more humid and heat up, giving you more benefit from this by helping you to lose more water. Apply this treatment at 9 p.m., Midnight, and lastly at 3 a.m. before the show. Cleaning the area before each application!!! You may also notice that some of your Pro Tan Application is coming off, if that area ends up slightly lighter in color than the rest of you, just touch it up with a thin layer of Pro Tan (make sure that the area is clean and dry) then stand in front of a fan to make sure that the newly painted areas are completely dry!!!

SECRET TIP - Dream Tan "Instant Skin Color": Apply two hours before stage time. Later in the article I'll talk more about this product and where to get it!!!

SECRET TIP - PRO TAN "Instant Competition Color". Apply starting on Thursday (two applications) then on Friday (three applications), and maybe some touch up work after the Preparation-H application is cleaned up. When it comes to "painting" don't do it yourself. Find someone to do it that is slow and patient. It should take an hour to apply one coat. Think of it like artwork, if you rush, it'll look like shit!!! Later in the article I'll talk more about this product and where to get it!!!

SECRET TIP - Starting on Thursday and continuing throughout the Bodybuilding Contest you have to restrict your water intake This is going to be harder than you think, since your body is use to 2.5 gallons a day!!! What I did was keep a bag of ice cubes with me and suck on one every time my mouth got really dry. This is not only going to help curb that thirst, but also cool you off and help you mind better (I did say think straight, as when you are in this Phase of the program your minding is going to be moderate at best)!!!

SECRET TIP - Have at least two Posing Suits and two copies of your routine music (cassettes). Be prepared for anything!!! If a suit tears, you have another. If they lose your music, you have another. Also, bring some Duct Tape with you!!! NO, not to Duct Tape the Judges after the contest!!! But to keep your suit in place, just tear off a section like 2" by 3 " fold in half and slightly overlap it, to make Poor Man's double sided tape, you should end up with a piece 2" by 1". Clean your butt and place it an inch from the edge of the suit. Too many athletes place it right on the edge, and when they move you can see it sticking out. Make sure that when you are done, the area is even and level. You don't want to see any wrinkles or the tape itself. If you do, then redo it!!!

SECRET TIP - Hair, nails, the palms of your hands and the bottoms of your feet!!! You have two choices at this point; either get a really short haircut or get a lot of GEL and grease your hair down. The more hair you have above your head, the more it will take away from your size, and if you have a messed up hair style you are going to look like SHIT!!! My hair is 4 inches below my shoulder, the day before the contest I went to a Beauty Salon and had their best beautician tightly french braid my hair and trim everything up!!! When you looked at me from the front, it looked like I had a Marine haircut, but actually I had more hair than most women had in the contest. Nails: every little detail must be looked at even the nails (hands and feet) remember you want everything to look it's best!!! Trim them up and make them look good. Now the palms of your hands and bottoms of your feet, by now you will probably notice some darkening in them due to the sunless tanning sprays / lotions and the Pro Tan application. What you can do is carefully fill a pan with 1/4-inch depth of bleach and allow your hands to soak for 10 minutes, then carefully wash them off and get all the bleach off them. Then, do the same with the bottoms of your feet!!! Prepare yourself and body like you are going to be in a photo shot for PlayGirl Magazine (or PlayBoy if you're female)!!! You want every aspect of yourself perfect, no flaws!!!

Estimating your Bodyfat Percentage:

I recommend that you buy a Skinfold Caliper Kit. You can buy them at places like GNC, Health Food Stores, even K-Mart has them!!!

The kit will come with instructions on how to use it, but some only require you to measure at one location above the hip. I feel that this is not accurate enough. Since everyone is created differently, everyone stores fat in different amount at different locations. Thus you can get a more accurate reading by measuring several different locations and accumulating the results, like in the method below:

Male Body Composition:

Skinfold Measurements in Millimeters:

Pectoral (Chest): mm x .1403 =
Triceps: mm x .1524 =
Subscapular (Back): mm x .0746 =
Suprailiac (Hip): mm x .1602 =
Umbilicus (Stomach): mm x .1524 =
Thigh: mm x .1020 =
Sum =

Sum + 3.14 = Bodyfat % =

Fat Weight (Bodyfat % x Scale Weight) =
Lean Body Mass (Scale Weight - Fat Weight) =

Female Body Composition:

Skinfold Measurements in Millimeters:

Umbilicus (Stomach) =

Suprailiac (Hip) =

Subscapular (Back) =

Triceps =

Thigh =

Sum of the above 5 Skinfolds =

Bodyfat Formula = [0.29731 x (Sum of 5 Skinfolds)] - [0.00053 x (Sum of 5 Skinfolds)²]

+ [0.03037 x (Age)] - 0.63054

Calculation of Percent Bodyfat % =

Fat Weight (Bodyfat % x Scale Weight) =

Lean Body Mass (Scale Weight - Fat Weight) =

The above method is taken from Experimental and Applied Sciences, Inc. (EAS)

Which is used in their EAS Physique Transformation Challenge Packet, which I feel is the most accurate of those I have reviewed!!! Additional information is available at:

Review of "HIGHLY" recommended products and where to get them:

Dream Tan is composed of distinctive skin pigmentation derived from natural sources that
are safe and healthy for the epidermal layers of the skin. It is non-toxic and doesn't
contain any isopropyl alcohol or acetone.

Specifically designed for use by competitive bodybuilders, Dream Tan doesn't require any
base tan or special pigmentation of skin for exceptional results. Results are consistent
with each use, and it requires little time and preparation for total application. Simplicity
of use is Dream Tan's best asset. Unlike other dyes, which require special applicators or
rely upon faulty spray nozzles, Dream Tan is easily applied with your open hand. In fact,
it's much like the process of rubbing moisture cream over the skin. Dream Tan's unique
consistency requires only one application.

While other tanning products may dry your skin, Dream Tan is formulated with special
moisturizers that actually hydrate the skin with each and every application. No other oils or
emollients are ever required to aid Dream Tan in making the skin appear shiny and bronzed. The
use of other oils will actually thwart the effectiveness and appearance of the Dream Tan luster.
Essentially, Dream Tan is the ultimate complete tan and luster in one compact container.

It's available in two different pigments, and choice of formula is a matter of personal preference. All
colors used in Dream Tan are FDA approved for use on the face and around the eyes, a comfort that
most other tanning products simply cannot provide.

Bronze-hued and beautifully contrasted with a light iridescent sheen, Dream Tan is best suited
to stage and photo studio lighting, the two most crucial venues for looking your best. Dream Tan
creates a depth and uniformity to the skin, which compliments the muscular physique and brings a
gossamer translucence and healthy glow to skin which otherwise might look dry or uneven in
color and tone.

Dream Tan is NOT a dye. It washes off completely and quickly in the shower or at the basin and
leaves your skin fresh and moist. "Information from www.dreamtan.com"

Pro Tan Application: There are many other skin care colorings you may use. We are quite pleased with the results from Pro Tan. (Make sure you have enough Pro Tan before you start and especially if you're traveling out of town for a contest, have 2 bottles to be safe. Sometimes it's impossible to find the night before, so BE PREPARED.) Skin preparation is important. Prior to applying the first coat take a hot shower using soap and a wash rag to give yourself a light but thorough scrubbing to remove most body oil. Pat your body dry with a towel. Now it's time to apply the first coat. Make sure you have plenty of paper on the floor for the overspray. Apply the Pro Tan in a well-lighted room. Wear as little as possible: thong, jock, an old posing suit or if your comfortable about it, nothing. Have your friend, coach, whoever start at your neck and work down. Spray an area, example: back, then brush out evenly. You may apply more than one coat if you use a hairdryer to aid in the drying. Only begin the second coat after you applied the first to the whole body. A third person would speed things up if you were trying to do this all in one night. Pro Tan, even dry, will rub off on your sheets and clothing. Use old sheets; and don't wear your best clothes. If competing out of town, bring an old set of sheets for your bed in the motel. Some individuals are shocked when their motel presents them with a bill for new sheets, comforter etc. Save yourself some headaches. With a Saturday contest most athletes start applying Pro Tan on Thursday night and another coat on Friday. These athletes will have a more natural look. Friday night you may apply both coats if you use a hairdryer to dry yourself. Applying Pro Tan on Saturday morning is asking for problems. The Pro Tan won't thoroughly dry and will run on stage. If you aren't dark enough I recommend Ultra-Bronzer for a final coat. It is an excellent product for doing your face, the tops of your hands and feet also. Information from "www.teambodybuilding.com"

Glycerol is produced naturally in your body. It has the unique ability to bind to water and hold it in the vascular system. Studies indicate glycerol supplementation may postpone muscle fatigue and muscle failure. Plus, recently bodybuilders have "discovered" glycerol as a pre-contest aid for its potential to "redistribute" water, increase performance, and improve "cuts" and vascularity.

Glycerol also helps to enhance "cuts" and vascularity, consume the following weight-dependent dose of glycerol mixed in cold water five to six hours prior to when you want to look the most "cut." Information from " www.neoelite.com/metabolic/index.html"

Recommended Use:

<125 lbs. Bodyweight 1 Packet (25 ml Glycerol) 8 oz Water

125-200 lbs. Bodyweight 2 Packet (25 ml Glycerol) 16 oz Water

>200 lbs. Bodyweight 3 Packet (25 ml Glycerol) 24 oz Water

I personally also recommend that you add in Creatine Monohydrate at 2 grams with each packet!!!

Preparation-H "Hemorrhoid topical application" available at any department store

YES!!! It's sold to decrease inflammation and swelling of hemorrhoidal tissues. So, the only way it can accomplish this is to focus on an area and intensify the release of fluid in the tissue. So, what if you applied it to the abdomen area, what should happen? "You got it" more fluid is released in the tissues of the skin causing a thinner skin layer and more definition in the ab area. Now don't go hog wild with this SECRET, I know one guy that covered his entire body the night before the show, that's too much!!! You just want to hit the ab and love handle area and get rid of that last bit of water that may be lingering there!!!

What you do is apply a thin layer across the areas to be utilized. Then, wrap your midsection with Saran Wrap. This will cause the area to become more humid and heat up, giving you more benefit from this by increasing the release of water from that area. Apply this treatment at 9 p.m., Midnight, and lastly at 3 a.m. before the show. Make sure the area is clean before each application!!! You may also notice that some of your Pro Tan Application is coming off. If that area ends up slightly lighter in color than the rest of you, just touch it up with a thin layer of Pro Tan (make sure that the area is clean and dry) then stand infront of a fan to make sure that the newly painted areas are completely dry!!!

Conclusion:

If you have always wanted to have a "better body" this is it!!! This is the Program!!! This is the guidance you've been waiting for!!!

If you're still not motivated to become the person you've always wanted to be after reading this Program!!! I hate to say it, but you’re a "Dead Seed", and what you ask is a Dead Seed!!! Well, look at it like this. You can have the world's best gardener working for you, but, no matter how good he is, if you give him a "Dead Seed" nothing will never grow!!! It's the seed, not the gardener!!!

For those of you that are motivated and are ready to take on the challenge of your life, LET'S GET IT ON!!! I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE TWO ITEMS AT THIS POINT: first, if you have any questions or problems throughout this program, please feel free to contact me directly for help!!! Secondly, please keep me updated as to your progress!!! It would really help me if you were to send me a copy of your before and after pictures and a little note as to how you did throughout the program (changes, positive / negative factors, stumbling blocks encountered, break through, etc.) This helps me develop more case studies and get out more accurate and more detailed information!!!

Good Luck and God's Speed!!!

Now for the "Dark Side" of the sport: The Anabolic Approach!!!

You would add in the below cycle to the above 16 Week Pre-Contest / Bodyfat Reduction Program!!!

Work with your Doctor!!! I can't push this enough. DON'T TRY TO BE YOUR OWN DOCTOR!!! When you get your check ups during the 16 week Program, let him know what you are planning on doing and ask his opinion as to when or at what point during the program you should see him again. Also be honest with him, if you are planning on taking any performance enhancement, hormone, or diuretic medication, or are planning on starting a diet, etc., let him know. He may try to talk you out of it, but 90% of doctors will still work with you, even if you take these medications. Please be honest. Remember "what you tell him has to be kept confidential"; that's the oath he took!!! Ask that you get your blood work checked at weeks 6, 14, and lastly at week 26!!!

Notes:

1) During weeks 15 and 16 you only intake tabs, as you don't want someone to see a needle mark on your ass while you are changing at the show or if your suit pulls to the side during your routine!!!

2) This Cycle is designed that the first day of the week is Sunday!!!

3) Always utilize a new / sterile needle and syringe kit, NEVER share, reuse, etc. not only would you be taking a chance of infection, but AIDS can be contracted by sharing a needle.

4) For most steroids either a 21 or 22 gauge needle will work best. If injecting into the thigh utilize a 1" length needle and if injecting into the buttocks a 1.5" length needle is fine.

5) The amount that can be injected at one time into one site is 5cc for men in the buttocks and 4cc in the thigh. For females it's 4cc in the buttocks and 3cc in the thigh.

6) Watch for symptoms such as an abscess, infections, allergic / skin reaction, blood poisoning, or and thing that may appear out of the ordinary. If anything should appear except some slight tenderness and a black and blue spot at the injection site, see a doctor. If in question on anything, ask a doctor. Most will not prescribe steroids but they will treat side-effects, adverse reactions, infections, and most importantly administer blood screenings to make sure your body's internal system is operating properly.

7) The most important aspect of this entire procedure is STERILE PRECAUTIONS. You can never be too STERILE.

8) Never allow anything to come in contact with the needle. If it touches your finger, table top, etc. either replace the needle or wipe it with alcohol. When not inserting the medication or preparing to inject yourself, keep the factory protective cap over the needle.

HCG ADMINISTERION (INJECTIONS)

First break open the solvent ampule by snapping it at the neck with the dot on the ampule facing away from you. When breaking open ampules, you may use paper towel or tissue to protect your fingers. Draw up the solvent into a syringe. Then break open the ampule(s) containing the powder (using the same technique as above) and add the solvent to the powder by slowly pushing in the plunger of the syringe. Gently stir the solution (by rotating the ampule) but do not shake. The solution should be clear and should be free of particles. Draw up the solution for injection. Use a different syringe for this or switch needles just prior to injection. Needles with higher gauge (25G and higher) are smaller and are more comfortable to the patient. Be sure all air bubbles are tapped out of the syringe. Wipe the injection site with an alcohol swab. Then insert the syringe through the skin in the appropriate injection site (usually the upper thigh or buttocks). TO BE SURE THAT THE NEEDLE IS NOT IN A VEIN after inserting the needle into the skin, pull back on the plunger of the syringe while holding the syringe in place. If the syringe begins to fill with blood, the needle is in a vein. If this happens, remove the needle from the skin, throw the syringe away, and start the procedure again using new materials (drug, syringes, etc.). AFTER GIVING THE INJECTION, cover the injection site with a small bandage if necessary.

Ways to improve the effectiveness of the products you’re taking:

1) Take the Norandrostenedione and Androstenedione at the recommended daily dosage in the morning on an empty stomach and the other half before bed

2) Products like Norandrostenedione, Androstenedione, Adipokinetix, Clenbuterol, Cytomel / Triacana / T3, and ECA Stack that are taken in the morning are more effective if taken on an empty stomach

3) 30 minutes before you take your morning products, mix a half a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of cold water and drink. This will help neutralize the stomach acids and increase the absorption rate of the products taken

4) Chrysin at 350mg per day, taken in the morning on an empty stomach

5) Take 10mg of both Norandrostenedione and Androstenedione then mix in with distilled water. Place it in a nasal dispenser. Starting 15 minutes before your workout snort one dosage into each nostril and then repeat every 30 minutes till gone

6) Take the Adipokinetix at one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one 30 minutes before your workout

***Section 8 - Counterfeits/Fakes***

A) Fakes: (junk/useless)

Thailand, pink, pentagon shaped, D-bol 5mg tabs, there have been a lot of reports that these are coming from the original manufacture in Thailand, but this is not true. These fakes are being manufactured in Holland. The one way to tell the difference between the real and fake, is taste (as the real one’s have a more bitter taste to them) or lab testing.

Russian Dianabol, the blister packs have poor quality print (all Russian) and it has "Methanadrolone" and "000.5r") printed on it. The two colors used for the print are black and blue. The directions that come with the tablets are printed on greenish colored paper.

Russian Sustanon "CYCTAHOH 250", the 1cc amp is clear with a bright white scoring mark around the neck, and the label on the amp has rounded corners, Lot#252179, Manufacture Date: Mai ‘95, Expiration Date: Mai ‘99.

Organon (Greece), Deca-Durabolin, Lot#931104-012, Exp. 991128, 100mg/ml, 2ml/vial, 3 vials per box.

Organon, Deca-Durabolin, Lot#292698A, 200mg/ml, 2ml/vial, vial is brownish in color with blue cap.

Pronabol-5, manufactured in India, the fake product comes in plain (no thrills) foil strip on 10 tabs (per strip) that says Pronabol 5, while the real version comes in a (vacuum pack) foil strip with purple writing on it, the tabs are marked "P-5"

I’ve received word, that there seems to be some counterfeit Extraboline (Deca) from Greece going around. It looks identical to the real stuff (same box, labels), but many people think it is fake or under dosed. Also, there is some counterfeit Parabolan going around. Most people think it contains some type of testosterone.

List of More Known Fakes:

(Please bear in mind that the manufacturers mentioned below are usually not the actual manufacturers of the counterfeits, but rather the name used on the label. The REAL pharmaceutical companies want nothing better than to shut down the pirates.)

Synasteron 50* I have had a lot of reports from people who have bought the Synasteron (Oxymetholone) from European sources have reported very little gains if any at all. There was a 25mg dose of Synasteron floating around for a while too. I believe that both of the Synasteron were grossly under dosed and now, most cannot tell the difference between the 25mg and the 50mg pills. The main attraction to Synasteron is the price. I have seen it sell for as little as $60.00 for 100 each 50mg tabs!

Source of the above: Vae Victus Newsletter with our gratitude for their humanitarian efforts!!!

B) Counterfeits: (copies/good products)

Here are some of the counterfeits floating around; good news is that they actually contain what they are supposing to. They all look legit, except the labels peel off too easily (on the Steris Products). I’ll record lot/date, as they become available.

Negma (France), Parabolan, Exp. 08/96

Steris Labs (USA), Testosterone Enanthate 200mg/ml 10cc vial

Steris Labs (USA), Testosterone Cypionate 200mg/ml 10cc vial
