Fats

Fats are deceivingly simple molecules. fats are just atoms of carbon linked together in a chain.
Assuming hothing is attached to either end of the chain (a free fatty acid) you will find a carbon surrounded by hydrogen (CH3) on one end, and on the other end you will find a few oxygen (COOH or COO-).

Surrounding all the carbons are hydrogen atoms. Now what gives various fats most of their biological character is the length of the chain and the number of double bonds.
The more carbons the longer the chain. A double bond is what you get when you take away a few hydrogen and the bond "doubles up" on the carbon. These double bonds are very important and dictate what type of fat it is and effect it will have on the body.

An Abbreviated History of Anabolic Steroids

Steroids having been around for nearly 40 years now, anabolic steroids are considered relatively old drugs. Unlike the more glamorous designer drugs produced of late, anabolic steroids are primarily derivatives of testosterone that act on the body’s hormonal axis.

In the 40's, injectable testosterone was manufacture primarily for the treatment to people suffering severe malnutrition, mainly POW's. In the early 50's, scientists became convinced that testosterone was responsible for masculine characteristics in men. At around that time, athletes in the eastern world were already using anabolic injections in an effort to increase their strength.

As Russian athletes crushed weight lifting records with surprising regularity some members of the medical community became convinced that the use of anabolic steroids were responsible. Since that time, as fitness in general and bodybuilding in particular "came out of the closet" in the 70’s and became an accepted passtime of the mainstream, anabolic steroid usage has become increasingly prevalent (6 & 60). Today, of all recreational drugs used by the general population, anabolic steroids are by far the most common. Steroid abuse is the fastest-growing form of drug abuse in the U.S.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration estimates nationwide that there are 500,000 heroine and 500,000 crack cocaine abusers. Some recent estimates suggest that in excess of 4 million athletes have used anabolic steroids for physique or performance enhancement in the United States.

The Four Primary Benefits to Bodybuilders from Anabolic Steroids.

Anabolic Steroids react on the body in four primary ways.

1. Anabolic steroids increase the deposition of protein as muscle or protein biosynthesis.
2. Anabolic steroids increase oxygenation of the blood

3. Anabolic steroids promote the retention of nitrogen -- and indication that protein is being converted to muscle.

4. Anabolic steroids prevent catabolism, or the naturally occurring breakdown of lean muscle tissue.

Proteins

There are approximately 20 or so amino acids that can make up protein. Eight of them are considered essential and the body cannot make them on its own thus they are required from diet.

Technically, the non-essential aminos can be made from the essential aminos.

There are also amino acids considered "conditionally" essential under certain conditions and or populations.

If you link several aminos together you get a peptide. Keep linking peptides together and you get a protein. The shape of the individual amino acids and resulting proteins is quite unique and highly specific.

Proteins have many different roles in the body beside simple muscle. Protein, or more appropriately amino acids, is the only macro-nutrient that supplies nitrogen to drive lean tissue growth (anabolism).

Although athletes usually focus on the effect that protein has on skeletal muscle, it is equally important for people to understand that there are other disposal sites of amino acid nitrogen in the human body.

In simple terms, these include structural proteins, DNA, RNA, phospholipids, enzymes, immune function and bile acids to name a few. Bottom line? There are many uses for protein in the body unrelated to just building muscle.

We need protein to build or regenerate skeletal muscle. However, many people don't understand the other functions protein has within the body, as alluded to above.

Upon digestion, amino acids from ingested proteins enter what is called the "free amino acid pool." The amino acids can be diverted to different areas of the body for utilization depending on what the body needs. For example, some amino acids are used as an energy source through their conversation to glucose, using a process called gluconeogenesis.

Protein can also be converted to fat, though this is a very inefficient process in humans and is not a major source of body fat, contrary to what you may have been led to believe by some nutritional "authorities."

Protein is also a very thermo genic fuel substrate in the body, meaning that its digestion, metabolism and storage require a great deal of energy, which is released as heat. Have you ever wondered why you may feel hot after a large protein meal?

This could be the reason.

In fact, it has been shown that ingesting large amounts or protein can account for upward of 20 percent of daily energy expenditure.

This means that as much as 20 percent of the calories from protein you eat are lost as heat and can't be stored as fat on your glutes or hips! From a thermal, hormonal, and biochemical point of view, protein is the least likely macro-nutrient to be converted to body fat.

Dianabol - 50!

Beginning in 1959 marked an event that greatly influenced the course of history in the sport: the walls of the laboratory Ciba released their first design an anabolic steroid, known as methandrostenolone. However, there is no unity of opinion on the establishment of the drug: some argue that such should be considered in 1956 when you received the first prototypes of the drug, others the beginning of the 60's, when industrial production started methandrostenolone under the brand name "Dianabol". The 1959 year in this case can be considered as a compromise - in the beginning of this year, the industry's first example of "Dianabol" has been tested in practice weightlifting champion Bill March.

RESPECT Bodybuilding here Dianabol quickly became the NUMBER ONE PREPARATION Championship and held until the late '70s. LIST OF HIS FANS JUST HUGE AND INCLUDES MANY winner of the tournament, "Mr. Olympia", starting with Larry Scott and ending with Frank Zane.

Original dianabol was discontinued in 1972, but by this time preparations in which the active substance was methandrostenolone, vengeance carried out in Europe, particularly in the Soviet Union. In our former fatherland drug was simply a cult-training athletes, weightlifters, swimmers built on it, despite all its flaws known. With the development of the doping control methandrostenolone from most sports is gone, and now his lot remained only disciplines where the use of illegal drugs look the other way.

The first IFBB PRO tournament is complet.

The first IFBB PRO tournament is complet. And the winner was Evan Centopani - winner of the tournament NY PRO 2009, passed in 2010, Evan has improved its shape, which allowed him to circumvent the 2008 Mr. Olympia Dexter Jackson, who came second.
Third place went to Fouad Abiad, the fourth was Dennis Wolf. Naturally, many athletes do not in 100% form on this tournament, because in front of will be the great Arnold Classic 2011.

Final results:

The sad fate of one guy

This boy was weak in childhood but he wanted to attract girls, so he started to build strength, take anabolic steroids and attend a gym. Sadly, there are always two sides of the same coin…

Aziz Shavershian was born in Russia and lived in Sydney. He quickly became a popular bodybuilder known as Zyzz. He had a lot of Facebook fans who liked his idea of “getting aesthetic”. Aziz was a wannabe model and a personal trainer. He sometimes worked as a stripper.

Besides, he sold a whey protein supplement.His sudden death in a sauna shocked everyone. It was caused by an undiagnosed congenital heart condition. The 22-year-old bodybuilder had shown infrequent shortness of breath and high blood pressure in the last months before his death. Still it is still very unusual that a guy who is only 22 years old suddenly dies in a sauna. The steroids should have been responsible for this.

Strong women

Probably every guy dreams of a little inflated to resemble those girls, I mean the muscles.
But not all do it, but these girls can keep themselves in good shape.
Not everyone, though like many prefer the more feminine girls.

Bodybuilding Championship in St. Petersburg

Disgusting Guy

People who have achieved success

All these people have changed their appearance and become true bodybuilders, imagine what a difficult job on his body they done. They took first place in the section "Transformation of the month" on the site Bodybuilding.com.

Now these girls and guys nice to see, see what they were before.
