Common Symptoms of Menopause

Many women enter into menopause at different times of their life. Some experience a few of the symptoms while others can have more.

Hot flashes, flushes, night sweats and/or cold flashes, clammy feeling is most likely the most common sensation but, Irregular heart beat, irritability, mood swings, sudden tears, difficulty sleeping, irregular periods; shorter, lighter periods; heavier periods, phantom periods, shorter cycles and longer cycles often occur.

One of the most troubling symptoms is Loss of libido. However it is not limited to a drop in desire but also a dry vagina, crashing fatigue, anxiety, feelings of dread, apprehension, depression, difficulty concentrating, disorientation, mental confusion, memory lapses, incontinence upon sneezing, or laughing.

Women have also report having Itchy, crawly skin aching, sore joints, muscles, breast tenderness, headaches, gastrointestinal distress, indigestion, flatulence, nausea, bloating, increase in allergies weight gain, hair loss, but with an increase in facial hair. Many have experienced dizziness, light-headedness, tingling in the extremities, gum problems, increased bleeding, burning tongue, burning roof of mouth, bad taste in mouth, change in breath odor.

One of the biggest problems of menopause is Osteoporosis (porous bones).

A select few have noticed changes in fingernails: softer, crack or break easier. Tinnitus: ringing in ears, 'whooshing,' buzzing etc. Reason For Symptoms

Hot flashes are due to the hypothalamic response to declining ovarian estrogen production. The declining estrogen state induces hypophysiotropic neurons in the arcuate nucleas of the hypothalamus to release gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in a pulsatile fashion, which in turn stimulates release of luteinizing hormone (LH). Extremely high pulses of LH occur during the period of declining estrogen production. The LH has vasodilatory effects, which leads to flushing. Loss of libido for some women the loss is so great that they actually find sex repulsive, in much the same way as they felt before puberty. What hormones give, loss of hormones can take away. Aching sore joints may include such problems as carpal tunnel syndrome. Depression different from other depression, the inability to cope is overwhelming. There is a feeling of loss of self. Hormone therapy ameliorates the depression dramatically. Weight gain often around the waist and thighs, resulting in 'the disappearing waistline'. Tingling in extremities can also be a symptom of B-12 deficiency, diabetes, alterations in the flexibility of blood vessels, or a depletion of potassium or calcium Tinnitus is one of those physical conditions that seems to manifest in some women at the same time as menopause. It can be associated with health conditions such as hypothyroidism and heart disease, and is a known side-effect of many medications, including aspirin (salicylates) and Prozac.

SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS MAY ALSO BE SIGNS OF THE FOLLOWING: *hypothyroidism *diabetes *depression with another etiology other medical conditions

Climb Past Your Bench Press Plateau for a Huge Bench

Has your bench press been stuck at a plateau? The bench press is the favorite chest exercise of every person looking to add bulk to there chest can be the biggest disappointment for people. Most people do the same routine over and over again, though it once worked now no results for all the time spent in the gym. List below are tips that you can implement in your next workout to start building a bigger bench and get you out of your rut.

The first technique to getting out of your bench press plateau is to pause at the bottom. Most people got down and up so fast that they use more momentum than muscular strength to press the weight. So, to develop better strength we are going to over pause to ensure optimal muscle fiber recruitment.

It is best to have a spotter who you trust that can help lift the weight off if you don't make it up. Also, have the spotter count to two for you once the bar stops moving as you don't want to be relaxing or screwing up your breathing to count. Once your partner says two explode with all your might for one full rep. Complete as many reps as possible though if you can do more than 6 reps add more weight.

As you continue to train even beyond these tips it is important to train using all three techniques of pausing at your chest. The three are the touch and go that most do, a slight pause at the bottom and then press, and a complete 2-3 second pause at the bottom before pressing the weight up. Each different method is going to challenge your muscle fibers in different ways with different levels of weight. One legitimate rep with less weight does more for muscle development and strength than a rep of heavier weight that you bounce off your chest to impress your friends with how much you can lift.

Have to train the triceps

You don't get a big bench without strong triceps. The bench press is not just a pectoral muscle exercise. Most people use triceps extensions or pressdowns which can develop strong triceps muscles though it doesn't always help with what the triceps need to do in a bench press. The best exercises you can do to train your triceps is to do any kind of close grip pressing motion from close-grip bench or incline bench and close grip push ups. Also, use a variety of dumbbells, barbells, and bodyweight exercises. The important factor is to train your triceps in the motions they need to gain strength in to get a bigger bench press.

Don't forget about your shoulders

The common exercises for shoulders are presses and lateral raises of some kind. The important part of the shoulder for bench press is the anterior deltoid. Add front raises to your routine to strengthen up the front part of your shoulder. Make sure to stand still and use only your shoulder muscles to raise the bar, dumbbells, or plate. I see too many people arching their backs and using momentum to lift the weight. Pure strength and muscle development comes from proper technique more than total weight if momentum is used.

Your back is important too

It most because that we don't see it in front of us because people are way more developed in the chest than the back. A big reason your bench may not be going up is that your antagonist muscles in the back are not strong enough to support the movement from your over developed chest. The only way to build a big bench is to build a big back. If you forget about your back or don't put the same time and effort in your bench will always limit out well short of your potential.

The last thing on your bench press is your legs and core. Your legs are still needed on during a bench exercise to stabilize the weight. If you didn't need your legs to have a big bench than you would be able to lift the same weight with your legs on the floor as you do if you put your feet on the bench and take them away. A big bench is about total body strength, if you focus only on the bench so results will always suffer.

I'm going give Reset-A.D. try, and hopefully I'll be able to function a little better at night on the weekends. "

Brent S . (NJ) "I generally make it into the gym atleast 4 to 5 days a week, but over the last year my energy levels have really been suffering due to much longer hours in the office and a new boss. I pop energy pills a couple times a day and drink three cups of coffee, but they just don't seem to help out the same way anymore. I recently started using Reset-AD and I've definitely noticed a significant boost in my energy levels at the gym. "

Darren W. (OH) "Sometimes when people ask, I tell them that I live in a perpetual state of fatigue. I don't know all the medical stuff behind adrenal fatigue, but it sure seems like that's what's causing my problems. I used to be a pretty active guy, but I've really slowed down over the last few years, and I'm only 32! I heard about Reset-A.D. from a friend, and I'm definitely going to give it a try.

Recharge your stimulants with Reset-A.D. and put the explosiveness back into your workouts, every time, we guarantee it.

Receptor LG Sciences Review

Do you ever wish you could go back in time when your receptors were "clean"? Why don't your second, third and fourth cycles "feel like your first time"? This is because of "dirty receptors" or better known as down-regulated androgen receptor syndrome. Doing a cycle of steroids like Sustenon, Deca or D-Bol will make your androgen receptor down-regulate over time. Which is why your other cycles NEVER feel like " the first time". Even potent prosteroids like Superdrol, M1T and Pheraplex suffer from this same problem. LG Sciences UNLEASHES ANOTHER BOMB, by bringing you RECEPTOR, the only patent pending product that UPREGULATES the androgen receptor and makes every cycle feel like your first. If you suffer from AR down regulation syndrome, from too many cycles, clean out your receptors with the only product backed by science!

Liquid Masterdrol LG Sciences Rewiew

You may not know this but LegalGear’s Masterdrol Series was the best selling prohormone in our entire line, even better than Methyl 1-Test! We were the first to release methyl delivery systems, which revolutionized prosteroids and we have done it again with LIQUID MASTERDROL! We give to you the final product in our MASTERDROL SERIES.

The original Masterdrol was a huge success, quickly followed by Masterdrol V2 (RIP from the ban of 2004) and Methyl-Masterdrol (RIP in the FDA ban of 2005). We proudly give you Liquid Masterdrol, the final in the series…our ultimate creation. With the passing of LegalGear and the licensing of the product line to LG Sciences, we knew we needed to revive this monster and give the people what they want...the calls were too great, the people demanded the results…and of course we delivered!

LegalGear was a brand that is known for innovation and quality. I can’t tell you the countless emails stating “your M1T worked better than any other brand on the market” “I love your Masterdrol” “can I still buy Methyl 1-P?”. LG Sciences provides the same GMP certified quality, honesty and science. LegalGear was the first company to include NAC in it’s Methyl 1-Test, it was also the first company to include policosanol in it’s other prohormones. LG Sciences gives the same great quality, safety and ingredients as the old LegalGear used to provide.

So, we had an impossible job ahead of us, find something LEGAL that works like the old Masterdrol….
What was the problem? Find something that works. Progestins that work are gone, SD, DMT and HD are gone, so we had to find another winner that would be 100% legal and still be a prohormone that gives results like the old stuff without getting another letter. Will Liquid Masterdrol ever be banned? Who knows, with the climate the way it is in professional sports, you just never know, but for now it is 100% legal and 100% potent.

So, the superstar we chose in the next generation is the last legal ANDROSTANE. Other potant steroids ANAVAR, PROVIRON, MASTERON, STENELONE, METHSTENELONE are ANDROSTANES. Some other androstanes you might remember are Masterdrol, Methyl Masterdrol, androstanediol and androstanedione better known as 5aAndro. All of these ANDROSTANE steroids have one thing in common, crazy strength gains with incredible hardening. The new Liquid Masterdrol has the same basic structure of Masterdrol, Masterdrol V2 and Methyl Masterdrol and it is a prohormone capable of giving the same gains in strength and extreme intensity in the gym, IF you can unlock the secret of potent delivery. We have solved this problem and made the safest and most effective product ever! This time however, we will not be ripped off. We have patented our Methyl Block™ delivery method and this time we will sue anyone that tries to rip off our patent protected delivery system! So, DON’T even try it! ANDROSTANE with Methyl Block and Ethyl Ester will give you the results you expect from a company with our history and a name like Masterdrol.

Steroids like Proviron, Masteron and Anavar are androstanes and have the same skeletal structure as our new Liquid Masterdrol and they have the exact same molecular weight skeleton. This is why we chose androstane to be our horse and Ester with Methyl Block™ to be our delivery system, like we did with 17aa - Methyl 1-Test, Methyl 1-P and Masterdrol V2.

The effect of Androstanes
In looking at the literature, you find that many androstane based steroids are usually deactivated in muscle, which is why you can’t just buy any product thrown together without the HEAVY science behind it. Proviron solves this problem by methylating the 1 postion, Masteron solves this issue by methylating the 2 position as did the old Methyl Masterdrol. What did this teach us? If you can prolong the half life of the androstane skeleton, stabilize the 3 position and give an effective dose, you can get the SAME results which is pretty damn cool. You need a good dose of androstane ester, but that’s why we gave you 300mg per serving more than 3X any other prohormone EVER made. How does it work? First, the ester protects the molecule and VASTLY increases it’s half life in the body by being metabolized more slowly by esterase. Which also blocks 3bHSD in the liver. Longer half life is the secret of Methyl steroids and makes Liquid Masterdrol so potent and effective. We were not satisfied there though, we then added our Methyl Block technology that boosts half life even further and adds potency by blocking liver destruction, sufatase and glucoronidase enzymes along with upregulating 3bHSD to convert more of the base prohormone into an active steroid. Combined, Methyl Block and Ester make for ONE HELL OF A PRODUCT that we can be proud to call Masterdrol!

Kick back and let me explain why Liquid Masterdrol is the most advanced product of its kind and why the people that doubted the AMAZING LG Sciences, get the proverbial SMACKDOWN once again in the science department.

Big Myth #1 “The liver destroys prohormones”….WRONG!
I don’t blame you, I believed it too. “They” told us “The liver is the enemy…the first pass metabolism is what destroys prohormones and converts them into useless metabolites vs. active prohormones.” Remember? We have all read how Testosterone orally is ineffective because of the liver destroying it… In fact some people tell you to drink grapefruit juice or take some useless grapefruit extract to deactivate the liver enzymes, so a few precious milligrams of ACTIVE hormone can get through. Oh, they also came up with this BULLSHIT lymphatic delivery crap too, that we all bought into as a way to increase the bioavailability of hormones.

What if I could show you how our ANDROSTANE derivatives in Liquid Mastrdrol actually get converted to STENELONE derivitives in the stomach and that the STOMACH and INTESTINE are actually what causes the problems with old prohormones, not the liver? Also I am going to show you how we used turned those findings into a system that works in reverse. What used to disable the old prohormones is the same system we use to ACTIVATE our ANDROSTANES. I am about to do just that for you!

It’s not the liver that causes the issues it’s the “gut” or intestinal systems! To quote a study “Our findings suggest that the gut, rather than the liver, is responsible for the failure of oral testosterone to provide effective androgen replacement therapy.”

Testosterone metabolism by the rat gastrointestinal tract, in vitro and in vivo.
• Farthing MJ,
• Vinson GP,
• Edwards CR,
• Dawson AM.
We have shown previously that the capacity of the jejunal mucosa to oxidise testosterone to the weaker androgen, androstenedione, by the enzyme 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17 beta-HSD), is considerable. The present study extends these earlier observations by measuring 17 beta-HSD activity in different regions of the gastrointestinal tract, by investigating the potential for testosterone metabolism by slices and everted sacs of rat jejunum, and estimating the contribution of intestinal testosterone metabolites to circulating levels of plasma androgens, by portal vein sampling in the rat, in vivo. 17 beta-HSD activity in homogenates of gastric and duodenal mucosa was significantly higher than that in jejunum, and was also present in ileum and colon. In addition to androstenedione, slices and everted sacs of rat jejunum produced various metabolites, one of which was probably dihydrotestosterone. It was not, however, a major metabolite in vivo. It is suggested that 5 alpha-reduction may be favoured in vitro by a lower oxidation-reduction potential resulting from tissue anoxia. The major portal vein metabolite was androstenedione, the same major metabolite produced by mucosal homogenates. We conclude that oxidation of testosterone is the major metabolic pathway in intestinal mucosa and the capacity of the gastrointestinal tract to reduce the potency of testosterone is considerable. Our findings suggest that the gut, rather than the liver, is responsible for the failure of oral testosterone to provide effective androgen replacement therapy. The qualitative difference in testosterone metabolism between in vitro and in vivo preparations emphasises the need for caution in the interpretation of similar in vitro experiments.


What if we show you how by doing the OPPOSITE of what the “experts” told you, you could get more ACTIVE HORMONES in your body??? IMPOSSIBLE? To quote Kramer from Seinfeld “is it so possible that I just blew your mind?” So, the “so called” experts tell us we need to find better ways of making WRONG hormones more active, when actually we can feed the RIGHT hormones into the body and let it take its own natural course of conversion to PURE ACTIVE ANABOLICS!

Liquid Masterdrol’s end hormone Stenelone is 400% more anabolic than testosterone!
If you take the “old school” prohormone products, you got very little active in the muscle, where active is defined as something that builds muscle (3-one, 17b-ol steroids):

Oral Stenelone (illegal active steroid) + Gut Enzymes (17bHSD) = Androstanedione (inactive prohormone) + Liver/Muscle Enzymes (3bHSD) = Androsterone (inactive prohormone)

Oral Androstanedione (illegal inactive prohormone) + Gut Enzymes (17bHSD) = Stenelone (active steroid) + Liver/Muscle Enzymes (3bHSD) = Androstanediol (inactive prohormone)

Oral Androstanediol (illegal inactive prohormone) + Gut Enzymes (17bHSD) = Androsterone (inactive prohormone) + Liver/Muscle Enzymes (3a/3bHSD) = Androstanedione (inactive prohormone)

So, you can see that with the prohormones of old, you get INACTIVE hormones in the muscle no matter what path you take, EXCEPT for Liquid Masterdrol’s Androstane ester:

Liquid Masterdrol Androstane Ester (DSHEA compliant prohormone) + Gut Enzymes (17bHSD) = Androstanediol (prohormone) + Liver/Muscle Enzymes (3a/3bHSD) = Stenelone (ACTIVE STEROID)

Stenelone is 400% more anabolic than Testosterone!

ONLY Stenelone Builds Muscle and is 400% more anabolic than Testosterone! The only way to get STENELONE in the muscle is with Liquid Masterdrol! Yet again we lay the smack down on the competition.

THIS IS THE SECRET BEHIND THE NEW LIQUID MASTERDROL

I hope this wasn’t too complicated, but I wanted to show you how we OUTSMART them again with our Androstane and give you EXACTLY what you want in a supplement, something that works! The people you “thought” were the experts are working off the old theories from 8-10 years ago and that is why we have dominated the prohormone market for over 3 years!

How to take Liquid Masterdrol
The best way to take Liquid Masterdrol, depending on if you stack it or take it alone: By itself, take 1 dose of Liquid Masterdrol per day on off days with 20oz of water and use 2 doses on workout days with 20oz of water for up to 8 weeks. (2 on training days, 1 on off days) When stacked with Methyl 1-D or any other Methyl Prohormone, take 2 Servings of Liquid Masterdrol with 20oz of water right before workouts to provide immediate gains in intensity and strength. At the end of your cycle, use Formdrol Extreme at 3-4 capsules per day for post cycle therapy to boost natural testosterone production. Better yet combine Formadrol Extreme with Transform to keep size and strength gains post cycle.

Heart Rate Training Optimizes Your 5k Training Program

Are you looking for a 5k training program? When you start looking you see many program offering beginner programs and advanced programs. What is interesting is that most beginner programs are too many miles for the average beginner. The key to effective 5k cardio plans is for every person to have their own heart rate profile. With optimal heart rate training every workout will be optimized for the greatest impact for your results. Heart rate training is for advanced and beginners; the difference is the heart rate profile not using a heart rate monitor.

The most effective cardio workout for running faster races and burning fat is interval training. Interval training is short durations of high intensity followed by short durations of low intensity and then repeated. Most programs only offer interval training for advanced programs though effective programming is good for all levels. The key is a person's heart rate profile. The most advanced you are the higher heart rate you want to train at for your interval.

Each person has a different level of fitness associated by their heart rate. As you run the energy required needs a certain consistent heart rate produce the energy. The more fit you are the lower your heart rate is for a given speed. This is why heart rate training is so effective. By finding a person's targeted heart rate profile you can make sure each workout is training in the right zone to optimally improve your performance. Often, people's lack of results comes from not training hard enough, or very common with cardio runners is overtraining by running with too high of a heart rate on every workout.

What is important for your metabolism and race speed is the rate at which you burn calories not how many calories you burn. This is why walkers and people who run mile after mile seem to never achieve their results. The more calories you burn the more calories you need to eat to restore energy back to your muscles cells. It is challenging your muscles to burn more energy by going harder relative to your fitness level forces your metabolism to improve and than makes you fun faster and burn more fat. People after completing an interval workout burn more fat 24 hours after their workout than any other form of cardio or strength exercise.

Though the interval workout is important it isn't the only workout that makes an effective 5k running program. Two other key workouts is a threshold workout and a long day. The threshold workout is a medium intensity workout that almost no person does. The reason why is people can always go harder and there is this myth that you have to push yourself in every work to your max. The other reason is people go on their slow steady pace never picking up the pace for a shorter run. An optimal threshold workout is between 15-30 min. If you can last longer than 30 min. you should run faster. When you run at your threshold level you are at the max at what your aerobic metabolism can burn for energy. When you go harder your anaerobic metabolism is kicked in to produce the needed extra energy. A threshold workout trains your body to burn energy the most effectively utilizing oxygen. It is the best workout for creating a good race pace.

The long day is the last workout you need every week in your 5k training program. Having running session that go for slower speeds and longer durations trains your body to burn fat and increases effectiveness of burning energy while running. You only need to do one long day a week and spending hours doing cardio during every workout may be a key reason why you are no longer seeing results.

To truly see your results you want a program that creates a personal heart rate profile. The charts on most treadmills are not accurate and the doctors who came up with the charts admit they made them up as a best guess for insurance companies and were never supposed to use as training heart rates. The other major key as you continue to run is a 5k program that uses specific and multiple threshold and interval workouts. The workout that worked for the first month won't work for the second as your body needs a new stimulus. With proper heart rate profiles you will be running your first or fastest 5k in no time.

Build Your Own Fitness Home Gym

If you are looking to build a home gym this year, there are some important criteria that should be taken into consideration. A good home gym offers versatility, the ability to have a few pieces of exercise equipment perform a wide variety of exercises. It must be durable and be able to handle the rigors of hard resistance training over a long period of time. Exercise equipment shouldn't take up a lot of space. There are many exercises you can do with your own body weight and a mat, so the home gym equipment shouldn't clutter up the workout space, nor be difficult to store. Finally it should be affordable. No one likes investing in a $1000 home gym just to use it as a coat rack or have it collecting dust in the corner within 3 months. This list of exercise equipment should offer solutions in each category listed above and it should provide a challenging and fun workout environment.

Exercise Ball

One of the most versatile pieces of exercise equipment, the exercise ball can be used in place of a bench for any supine or seated exercise. The exercise ball comes in a variety of sizes and depending on brand, is made of varying material. Because of the stress placed on a ball during a workout, it is important to look for a ball that is burst proof and it will not pop under you during a workout. To obtain the right size, a ball that sits with your hips and knees at 90 degrees is most likely what you should use for a majority of the exercises. For most, a 55cm or 65cm ball is sufficient. An exercise ball can be purchased for around $25-$60.

The exercise ball will provide an element of instability that cannot be duplicated by a bench; therefore you can improve core stability, and strengthen the integrity of your joints including shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles. The more stable you become, the stronger you will be and will drastically reduce the incidence of injury.

Dumbbells

A good home gym isn't complete without a few sets of dumbbells. 5-50lbs in increments of 5 will make a complete set for every type of exercise. Dumbbells are good for full body exercises that resist gravity. Exercises such as lunges, squats, shoulder press, bicep curl and chest press are just a few on the list of dumbbell exercises. They are durable, versatile, and a good set will last you a lifetime. A good set of dumbbells may cost $50-$100 for 3-4 sets of varying weight.

Foam Roll

A hard foam cylinder is used for self myfascial release, or self massage. A supplement to stretching, a foam roll can help to increase flexibility in a way that stretching cannot. In addition, it can help to relieve knots and adhesions within muscle tissue. If you don't like being sore after a workout, a foam roll can help to alleviate the soreness and therefore should be a staple item for your home gym. Invest $20 in a good foam roll that will take away your pain and soreness after a tough workout.

Xerdisc

The Xerdisc is an air filled rubber disc used for improving balance, and stability. The same exercises that you do while standing (ie..shoulder press, squat, bicep curl) can all be done while standing on an Exerdisc. Improving joint integrity and balance will allow you to become a more stable, stronger individual and the exercises are fun and challenging. It can also be used for ab exercises such as crunches, and anything you can do to make ab exercises harder has to be good! A quality Xerdisc may run about $40.

Xertube

Tubing comes in a variety of sizes based on the level of tension you want. Tubing can be used for most exercises in place of dumbbells and they will provide a variable tension. The plus side to using tubing is that you can gain resistance from a lateral position that dumbbells cannot provide. Exercises such as wood chops, torso twists, and pulling exercises like the bent row and lat pull are just a few that you can do with tubing that you can't get with other forms or resistance. Tubing is also safe for seniors looking to stay active as there is no risk of dropping the weight. Tubing is color coded in relation to the resistance it provides. I suggest 3-5 different tubes from thin to thick to give you opportunity to perform many exercises with small and large muscle groups. They are usually about $5-$8 a piece and can be used around doorknobs, in door jams and any other stationary post.

This exercise equipment should provide everyone from the novice to the advanced, a well rounded home gym that you can invest in for less than $200 total. The level of versatility, durability, and challenge that is provided by these pieces of equipment is unmatched by any single unit you can buy, and should give you years of workouts that can be changed and progressed as you continue to get into better and better shape. Consult with your personal trainer as to what exercise equipment may be best for your home gym.
