16. Pre-filter and reusing old cleaned sterile filters step. The GDX filters have a pre-filter built into them and it is a 10. By cleaning an old filter out with methanol you can use it again as a pre-filter if your solution hasn't cleared enough. A. Draw the coffee filtered solution into the syringe. B. Place a white pre-filter onto the tip of the syringe. C. Push the liquid through into any vial. D. After the solution is all into the and pre-filtered remove the pre-filter. E. Draw more solution into the syringe.

     14. Press gently onto the balloon while holding onto the twisted part of the filter. Keep pressing that balloon smaller until most of the solution is out.

     15. Twist the filter ever more into the balloon area, but be careful not to tear the filter. Wring it out like a miniature towel. This procedure lets you get all but about 1-2ml out of the coffee filter. Note: In case you have doubts about what the brown residue is in the coffee filter, you can test it! Scrape the residue into a small clear glass vial or container. Add 5-10ml of methanol or acetone. The brown stuff will begin to turn white (filler) and the liquid you added will take on a tan tint. The white will stay on the bottom and will not go into solution. Your liquid will not turn yellow because there are no hormones in the residue. If you add some water to the methanol, almost all the white stuff will disappear! AS are NOT SOLUBLE IN WATER. (No applause, please) Discard the test products and pat yourself on the back for getting this far.

Steps 7-13

      Your solution is either very cloudy, very dark, or the filler is more than 1/2 inch the way up the vial or you would not be here, but on step 17. This non-settling cloudiness happens sometimes and we can't do anything about it, nor can we do anything about darker shades from old pills.

     8. Insert a funnel into the now empty vial ‘2' and insert the coffee filter into the funnel. If you don't have a funnel to fit into a vial, you can secure the coffee filter over any glass container with a rubber band.

    9. Warm the solution in vial 1 in some hot water again or in the microwave for about 30 seconds. It should be very warm, but not too hot to touch. Pour the liquid solution from vial 1 into the coffee filter leaving as much filler behind as possible. Allow all the solution to drip through.

    10. Now pour the rest of the contents of vial 1 into the coffee filter and let drain.

    11. You may want to let is set overnight as the draining will be slow due to the filler and glue from that last pour.

    12. Put on some rubber gloves as the same stuff that is making the hormone soluble in oil will also solvate the oil out of your skin and leave you with dry skin. Close up the coffee filter and wring it from the edges inward to where the ‘solution' was.

   13. Begin twisting from the open edges of the filter. A ‘balloon' will develop.

What you should have in your 'Sterile' kit.

       1. A red stoppered clear vial with 5-10ml MAGIC solution marked ‘1'.
       2. A red stoppered clear vial with oil in it.
       3. A sealed clear, sterile, vial.
       4. Two 18 gauge 1.5 inch needles.
       5. A 5ml and a 10ml syringe. A QS also has a 20ml syringe. This is the largest syringe we can use with the Sterile filters.
       6. 1 clear, sterile, 0.45um GD/X sterile syringe filter. QS kits have 2 filters.
       7. A real cheap coffee filter

Now why mention all that?

        Well, if you mess up your filter you can run some methanol through it and then wrap it in a piece of aluminum foil, and then you can throw it in your oven at 250F for 20-30 minutes.

     Then it will be good as new again! You can also make a very good pre-filter which is specifically made for our solutions! Cleaning a spent sterile filter for 'pre-filtering' purposes. The GDX filters have a pre-filter built into them and it is a 10.

By cleaning an old Sterile filter out with methanol you can use it again as a pre-filter if your solution hasn't cleared enough.
1. Run about 20ml of methanol through your syringe into your syringe filter.
2. When the syringe is empty, back draw on the syringe and that pulls much of the filler off the top of the filter and you will see the methanol turn white.
3. Discard the methanol.
4. Blow some air through the filter by taking off the syringe and filling it with air a couple times to dry out the filter.
 5. Let sit 24hrs to let the rest of the methanol evaporate, or you can throw it in a 250F oven.

Detailed Fina Instructions- courtesy of Animal himself!

        Read the directions first, then the VARIATIONS and FAQ section!
       And please remember that these kits are for developing the ability of the user to create a sterile end solution and to experiment with the solubility of molecules in a vehicle in which ‘the experts' say can't be done. A note on pressure/syringe size to use with the filters.

        A 20ml syringe will create 80psi, while a 10ml syringe creates 140psi. With a 10ml syringe the solution will go through more than 2x faster.

SECRETS TO SUCCESSFUL MAIL ORDER PURCHASES

      With the ever decreasing availability of non-counterfeit black market steroids athletes are increasingly turning to international mail order and the Internet for steroid purchases.

      The success of purchase attempts varies enormously, as does the reliability of the mail order pharmacies. As the laws in this area remain vague, the following general guidelines should be used in mail order transactions in order to insulate the purchaser from potential problems.

Ordering:
1. Never order using your real name.
2. Do not pay by a traceable means -- e.g., personal check or wire-transfer.
3. Keep the order small i.e. there should be no question that the order is for personal use.
4. Never include any personal information (e.g., telephone number) with order
5. Request non-registered delivery only and request a notice to be placed on package "leave at door."
6. Do not order by unencrypted E-mail, order by regular mail.

Receiving:
1. Never sign for or acknowledge ordering a package -- i.e., if a mailperson will not deliver without a receiving signature, write it off as a loss and change your supplier.
2. Check out arriving-orders carefully for dubious looking brands and containers. Use published literature and discussion forums like www.elitefitness.com.
3. Do not order any overseas package shipped via express. The chances of it getting intercepted and checked this way is 90% higher. Always use regular snail mail service. A delayed but delivered parcel is preferable to a fast, intercepted one.

AS YOU GET STRONGER DECREASE THE FREQUENCY OF WORKOUTS AND/OR AMOUNT OF SETS

      Exercise physiologists have found that your strength increases disproportionately to your recovery ability. Thus the stronger you get the LESS high intensity exercise you can tolerate. Some authorities, such as Dr. Ellington Darden, mention a "300/50%" ratio of strength to recovery ability potential.

      Thus in theory, the average trainee has the potential to increase his untrained strength by a factor of 4, but his recovery ability will only increase by a factor of 1.5.

GET AMPLE REST AFTER EACH TRAINING SESSION

Believe it or not, your muscles DON'T get stronger while you work out. Your muscles get stronger while you RECOVER from your workout. After high intensity training your muscle tissue is broken down (although that's a very bas

DO NOT SPLIT YOUR ROUTINE - DO NOT WORK YOUR BODY ON SUCCESSIVE DAYS

     Many bodybuilders practice a split routine. The reasoning is that training their upper body on one day and lower body on the next day allows them additional time to work each muscle group "harder". HIT advocates fervently believe that this is NOT the case.First, split routines lead you to believe that *more* exercise is better exercise.

    Remember HARDER exercise is better. And if you train harder you MUST train briefer, not longer. You cannot train hard for a long period of time. Thus, out of physiologic necessity, people who use a split routine have to reduce the intensity of their exercise which leads to less growth stimulation.
