D-BOL®

*Since its introduction just over 18 months ago, D-BOL is fast becoming the mostpopular oral pro-anabolic available. D-BOL has a special formulation containingmethadrostenol™ that may exert a pronounced ergogenic action in the body after oraladministration similar to those experienced by users of methandrostenolone.Methandrostenolone is the most popular oral anabolic steroid currently used today. D-BOL, however, lacks the c17 alpha alkylated configuration, which maycomparatively lower the risks of certain associated side effects. Several users of D-BOL are reporting of extremely dramatic muscle size and strength gains. Empiricaldata suggests myocytic anabolism (muscle growth) relative to methandrostenolonetablets with notably less water retention. D-BOL is considered by many authorities tobe the most powerful non-prescription performance enhancing oral preparation todate.

WINNI-V®

*Cyclostanozol™ is a powerful non-prescription chemical hybrid that is reputed topossess highly stimulating, non-virilizing and pro-anabolic properties. High qualitymuscle gains are reported with as little as 1-2 tabs taken before workout, during acycle. Many users claim of lypolytic (fat reducing) effects analogous to thoseexperienced when using stanozolol tablets. The addition of a potent chemical synergistto this composite has been shown to allow for absorption through the mouth, whichallows a high percentage of the active ingredients to bypass digestion. This highly bio-available mixture is extremely fast acting producing a surge of energy in mostusers. Each tablet takes approximately 30 minutes, if slightly chewed, to completelydissolve under the tongue. The gains made while on a cycle of Winni-V have beenreported to be very solid and well maintained once use has been discontinued.

LIQUID ANODROL®

*Many users claim Liquid Anodrol to be the most powerful OTC pro-anabolic productavailable. Incredible mass and strength gains have been reported after only twoweeks of use. Anodrol is a topical lotion that is applied to the skin surface similar totestosterone creams and patches. The active ingredient in Liquid Anodrol calledoxymethobol™, is not alkylated or methylated in structure and may possess a lowerrisk factor with use when compared to oral steroids with these toxic configurations.Oxymethobol has a natural time release effect and may produce the most dramaticmuscle and strength gains of any product currently available. A few users interviewedclaim of improved mass gains when stacked with powerful orals such as D-BOL.Anodrol is definitely recommended as one of the main components of any stack forgreatly enhanced results.

“We Know Training.” That’s our mantra, our focus, our mission state-ment. This issue is a perfect example of how we use those three words to shape IRON MAN.

Peary and Mabel Rader, the founders of Iron Man, believed not only that training was much more than lifting weights but that lifting weights was much more than lifting weights—it was a part of a process of build-ing or expanding one’s self. The components of physical culture have expanded as our knowledge has expanded. From the beginning, Iron Man has been an open forum for ideas, and that has led to an eclectic mixture of authors and information that you won’t find in any other magazine in our field.

Everything starts with the author—no script, no movie! Passion is the unifying attribute, which is exemplified in coaches Bill Starr and Charles Poliquin. They have the credentials, certainly, but they also have the experience of testing their ideas on many athletes in the crucible of the gym. Their focus is narrow but with a wide field of vision. That, plus their ever-present passion, is what makes their material so interesting to read and their ideas so useful. In addition to Coach Poliquin’s regular column, this issue includes a feature by him on the chinup, which be-gins on page 158.

Joe Horrigan, D.C., has helped Olympic and professional athletes, fa-mous actors and yours truly to overcome injury at his world-renowned Soft Tissue Center. He’s another unique and invaluable resource who’s included under our training umbrella, and he covers both prevention and recovery in his monthly Sportsmedicine column.

If you train regularly, you know that motivation is an indispensable part of the pie. Knowledge is only potential energy until the mind en-ergizes the body to action. Both words and pictures can be sources of that all-important ingredient, and Michael Neveux’s photography is an integral part of the inspirational mix. From food to fab abs, he sets the standard. Page through this issue, and you’ll see why his images are a cut above.

Training for competition is a big motivator for some. This issue high-lights a bodybuilding champ from the past, Leo Robert, whose interview begins on page 188, and a current up-and-comer, ’08 IRON MAN Pro champ Phil Heath, who gets a pictorial salute, starting on page 242. Excellence is timeless. Fifty-plus years separate those two champs, but they share the will and passion to win. I find them both inspiring.

Jerry Brainum is the pros’ pro. He answers the tough questions from the pros and shares his 35-plus years of experience and research with us on various topics every month in IRON MAN. Jerry is a unique training resource whose expertise in nutrition, supplementation and pharma-cology is unequalled.

As you can tell from this issue’s table of contents, there’s a cornucopia of training and related info that makes us who we are and what we are striving to be. IM

The only lift that matters.Who Says Light Weights Can’t Build Muscle?

If you think lifting hundreds of pounds is the only way to pack on muscle, then you’re

dead wrong. In fact, the best muscle-building exercise only requires that you lift 85 grams. It’s the most important lift you’ll ever make because it’s the one that puts food in your mouth at the end of your workout. After all, without food – protein, in particular – your muscle-building goals will never be realized.

3 Times the Protein Density of the “King.”

The 85-gram OhYeah!® bar contains 3 times as much protein as a “king-sized” candy bar. But the difference between the two is your nutritional key to success. The protein found in OhYeah!® is of

a decidedly higher quality. After all, this bar is for athletes, not the unfit. And let’s not forget sugar! Sugar is the number one enemy of any rock-hard physique, which explains why the OhYeah!® bar contains at least 3 times LESS fat-promoting sugarthan other “leading” high protein food bars.

Don’t just finish your workout. Complete it.

The next time you visit the gym, don’t just finish your workout, complete it – by making the only lift that matters. Grab an OhYeah!® bar and treat your body to a high-protein snack that flexes more big-muscle support and amazing taste than any bar out there. Now, do you still think light weights can’t build muscle?

It’s That Good! ®
