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.

The legacy of Reg Park is worldwide, and it’s a living legacy, manifest in the bodies and lives he changed by his example. In 1956 I was in the eighth grade, and I distinctly remember seeing a photo of Reg in Muscle Power. He was doing a front lat spread. I stared at it in amazement, and I began to dream of being stronger and more muscular. At the time I weighed 100 pounds and was about to borrow my uncle’s weights so that I could begin to realize my dream. In a very real sense, my lifelong connection with bodybuilding started with that photo.
Fast-forward 25 years, and I’m on the outside deck of World Gym in Venice, California, taking exercise photos of Reg and his son, Jon Jon. I’d met them through Arnold. Reg had an unmistakable presence, a voice and a demeanor that got your attention—regal yet not aloof. Here was a man who’d won everything there was to win in his day but never men-tioned it. He was just a guy who loved to help people, and he loved to train. That wasn’t false modesty—it was simply the way he was.
The last time I saw Reg was at the Arnold Classic in 2007. He greeted me warmly, as if we’d talked the day before, when in fact it had been a year since I’d last seen him and his wife, Mareon. When the emcee ac-knowledged the Parks, the crowd rose as one with a sustained standing ovation—a “goose bumps” moment.
When I was a teenager, Reg unknowingly touched me through his photos, and last December I had the privilege of attending a tribute to him and celebration of his life hosted by Arnold. Speaking about his friend and mentor, Arnold said that as a teenager he’d had Reg’s picture taped to his bedroom ceiling. He also said that he wouldn’t be where he is today without Reg, cit-ing the inspiring photos as well as being invited to South Africa after the NABBA Mr. Universe con-test in 1965.
The three weeks Arnold spent with Reg in South Africa were a turning point in his life. As Arnold said, “Reg’s influence taught me about ‘I’ and ‘we’.” In observing the love between Reg and Mareon and Reg’s devotion to his children, Arnold saw what family life—something he didn’t have growing up—was all about, and he wanted his life to be that way. He saw, too, that Reg was not only a bodybuilding champion but also a successful entrepreneur and actor. Reg’s example revised Arnold’s vision of what he could do, and the rest is history.
The thousands of e-mail condolences Jon Jon Park received from people around the world bear witness to his father’s legacy. On a per-sonal level, I always say that our only touch with immortality is through our children. In this case, Reg Park is immortal because of the way he led his life and the way he touched the people he encountered. IM
