This is NOT a prescription on how to but rather where to?
Previous generations were targeted with coca cola and got addicted to the caffeine hit within. This generation is being targeted with drinks like V with the same aim of addicting the young masses.
Bodybuilders of old were in one class. Today they’re in a different class. Where do you think we’ll be in the future? Will these morphed photos be a reality someday? (Please note: only the male has been morphed). Where’s bodybuilding heading in your opinion and can we do anything to alter its course by our competition votes etc?
It’s our sport and it reflects on each one of us whether we partake in drugs or not. Something for you to contemplate.
There is a drug in the woodworks and it’s called MY0-029. This drug works in a similar fashion to some high blood pressure medications in the sense of inhibiting or blocking a certain chemical the body makes. Now for the full low down on the GDF-8 (Myostatin) issue.
The latest info which is based on a statement by the former developer of MYO-029, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, is that the trial on this drug has been stopped and the company will not continue in its development. However, they say that they are still committed to discovering and developing treatments for muscle diseases and will continue to explore Myostatin inhibiting drugs along with other strategies.
So if anyone approaches or promises you of anything resembling a cure or rather an antagonist / inhibiter for Myostatin, you can tell them Fadi said "Get Lost!"
MYO-029’s aim was to block Myostatin and therefore give muscles which are affected by it a chance to become larger and stronger. After two trials, MYO-029 had failed to deliver!
There are few people in the world with Myostatin deficiencies. Some say Ronnie may have been one, (I say no way), especially when you compare him with other bodybuilders. The man is just no where big enough. However, for the genuine ones who do have Myostatin deficiencies AND decide to become bodybuilders, then the morphed photo I posted here would become a freaking reality!!!
The info I’ve posted is based on March of 2008. So if you have something later than that or you know of a company who’s developing an anti Myostatin drug, I’ll be interested to know about it.
Nothing like NATURAL BODYBUILDING I say!
What do you get when you mate a lion with a tiger? A liger! A huge 900lbs beast of an animal that's what! You’ve probably seen this before, but for the benefit of those who haven't...
SARM
A company by the name of GTx.Inc has produced and trialed a NON-steroidal Second Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM) drug known as Ostarine. It’s an oral drug that is showing great promise in the treatment of muscle wasting in patients with cancer induced muscle loss, also known as cancer cachexia. According to studies conducted by GTx, SARMs give similar benefits of testosterone, without the detrimental side effects. That means the anabolic building activity of testosterone without its unwanted androgenic side effects on prostate and skin sebaceous glands. So burn victims will benefit as well as people my age or older who can suffer from menopause andropause.
It is rumored that elite athletes are already taking advantage of SARMs, while the World Anti-Doping Agency and others scramble to find a working detection procedure. Really?! That’s what I’ve been saying for the past 10 years or more. The elite athletes have always had access to drugs the normal population or other athletes could only dream about. Not to mention designer drugs of course! Ah, now I’m being politically incorrect. What’s new, I’ve always been known to be a controversial type of fellow. Non mainstream if you like. Back to the topic. This drug is being trialed for a variety of ailments in addition to what I had mentioned already, osteoporosis is one to name but another.
Another SARM drug that is being trialed by GTx is Toremifene. Nothing to do with muscles here Gents, but all to do with prostate problems. Sounds a lot like tamoxifen/Nolvadex doesn’t it? That’s the old school SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators).
No, you can’t get a script for Ostarine from your GP, it’s not available yet. Black market? Sorry, don’t know what you’re talking about!
