More information from the investigation of Dr. Ramon Scruggs has come to light in a provocative article by The New York Times’ Michael Schmidt. Privy to evidence that is part of the government’s investigation of Scruggs, Schmidt tells the story of Troy Glaus, Ismael Valdez, Scott Schoeneweis, and Todd Greene. Scruggs has been under investigation since at least 2007, when an Albany DA based investigation into illegal prescriptions showed that Troy Glaus and Scott Schoeneweis had received prescriptions for anabolic steroids from Scruggs (filled by Signature Pharmacy). Valdez was also implicated in the 2007 investigation, but according to a San…

Osteoarthritis is characterized by pain in joints which eventually destroys cartilages, and leads to malfunctioning absorption, protection, and lubrication. Cartilages cover and protect bone heads in large joints, such as knees. Many bodybuilders develop knee arthritis as they age. Scientists at Mayo Clinic conducted a 30-month study and noticed that strong and well-developed leg muscles help prevent knee pains and arthritis. People with large and well developed hip muscles were noticed to have lower occurrences of arthritis. Weak muscles tend to lead to instability in joints and wrong movement of the knee-cap (patella), which in turn places higher pressure on…

Holidays weren’t that big of a deal to me for a long time. I am not sure what it was about them, maybe how most people see holidays as another to receive. It always seemed to me people had their hands out, and that just pissed me off. With age I have learned that I am powerless over everybody else, and can only control myself ( sometimes that is even hard ). These past few years I started to enjoy the holidays for what they are, a time to share with the people that matter most. I wanted to address…

My buddy  Action on Steroid World put this together and I thought it would be a great post: Your daily calorie requirements depend on six major factors. The formulas for calorie calculations you are about to learn take into account all six of these factors to get the most accurate estimate possible. 1) Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) BMR is the total number of calories your body burns for normal bodily functions, including digestion, circulation, respiration, temperature regulation, cell construction, and every other metabolic process in your body. In other words, your BMR is the sum total of all the energy used for…

Like it or not, lots of americans use marijuana on a recreational basis. There are big discussions going on today about whether or not the government should legalize weed and tax it to help fix our financial crisis. More and more people, including celebrities are being open about their marijuana use. The drug is becoming less and less viewed as criminal behavior. Superstar MMA fighter Nick Diaz has been choking on more than his opponents submission moves. Diaz openly admits that he uses marijuana and is not worried about taking a drug test for the athletic commission. Here is a…

Keeping your opposing muscles in good balance saves you from sustaining joint injuries. Since an injury will tie you up and gluteus will be the only muscles bound to get any exercise while you convalesce, we should take precautions against getting injured. In sport experts’ opinion one way to achieve it is by getting the strength of opposing muscle groups into balance. If your chest and back muscles (pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi in the scientific argot) are not developed equally well, it may cause injuries of shoulder joints because these muscles move the joints in the opposite directions. Predisposition…

Size matters when it comes to hippocampus, brain area responsible for some types of memory. Numerous studies have shown that the larger it is the better. A recent study also showed that well fit elderly people have larger hippocampus as well as good spatial memory, which is responsible for orientation in space. The Hippocampus magazine reports that this part of the brain is larger in active older people, thus giving them advantage over sedentary peers by about 40%. A study involving London taxi drivers showed that experienced taxi drivers tend to have larger rear part of hippocampus than in ordinary…

To my readers, understand that before I speak the truth that I have no issue with Axio or it’s owner other then the low grade standards he has, nothing personal, but I have to look out for the Indians not the Chiefs. Since I wrote about Axio being absolute crap, I have received e-mails from about 50 or so pissed off guys who were screwed over by Axio. These issues ranged from getting severely sick from his gear to being offered pay offs to promote his stuff on forums. That really disgusts me, but what I found out from a…

As I sat here today I realized that I have so many sources I would like to take aim at , but I know in certain aspects I am wasting my time. The following days after AR and I wrote articles that axio is garbage ( a point that AR has made clear for a long time ), I came a cross at least 10-15 reasons why Axio is better now, they blamed it on an ex-employee, they blamed the sources selling their gear, they said the dog ate, every excuse under the sun. Now the funny part is that…

According to mmajunkie, Urijah Faber has big plans for his MMA career.  After his rematch with Mike Brown, to attempt to redeem his featherweight title, Faber says that he will be looking to cut weight to go down to 135 lbs, and to gain weight to go up to 155. Here is what he said: “I’ll probably have another seven to eight years in this sport,.  I’ll probably go down to 135 (pounds) and up to 155. I’ll try to stabilize myself at 145, so there’s a lot of fights out there for me.”  When asked what fighters he would…
