Ask Bill Roberts: How Safe is a Testosterone & Deca Durabolin Stack?

Question: Would a 10-week steroid cycle of 600 mg of Testosterone Enanthate and 200mgs of Nandrolone Decanoate weekly be relatively safe with regard to blood lipids? These two studies suggest to me that it would be safe: testosterone study and nandrolone decanoate study.

The Meal Frequency Fallacy

New study regarding frequent meals
For decades the mainstream has advocated something dreamt up by the bodybuilders of yesteryear. That something was the concept that the metabolic rate is enhanced by eating more smaller meals, rather than fewer larger meals. In more recent times, some bodybuilders have taken this to new levels, aiming for upwards of 8-12 meals per day (I’m looking at you, Jay Cutler!) Incidentally, I can also only imagine that the “thirty grams of protein per sitting” myth either gave rise to this, or was born out of it.

High-Intensity Interval Training

High-Intensity Interval Training Is Time-Efficient and Effective, Study Suggests
The study, from scientists at Canada’s McMaster University, adds to the growing evidence for the benefits of short term high-intensity interval training (HIT) as a time-efficient but safe alternative to traditional types of moderate long term exercise. Astonishingly, it is possible to get more by doing less!

Muscle Mass in Elderly Boosted by Combining Resistance Exercise and Blood Flow Restriction

Muscle Mass in Elderly Boosted by Combining Resistance Exercise and Blood Flow Restriction
For years, researchers have known that resistance exercise training — such as weightlifting, in which muscles work against gravity or another force — can be one of the most effective ways to fight the debilitating muscle loss caused by aging.

‘Stress’ Protein Could Halt Aging Process, Say Scientists

‘Stress’ Protein Could Halt Aging Process, Say Scientists
HSP10 (Heat Shock Protein), helps monitor and organise protein interactions in the body, and responds to environmental stresses, such as exercise and infection, by increasing its production inside cells. Researchers at Liverpool, in collaboration with colleagues at the University of California, found that excessive amounts of HSP10 inside mitochondria — ‘organs’ that act as energy generators in cells — can halt the body’s aging process by preserving muscle strength.

Lack of Sleep Negatively Impacts Glucose Metabolism

Lack of Sleep Negatively Impacts Glucose Metabolism
I’m pretty sure you’re well aware of the importance of a good nights sleep with regards to in-gym performance and post-gym recovery, but it also plays a huge role in body composition. In fact, some brand new research from the Leiden University Medical Center in Holland has suggested that just one night of bad sleep can upset insulin sensitivity even in otherwise healthy subjects.
