Here's what Biotests'
Tim Patterson has to say about Carbolin 19.
In
bodybuilding, there are two primary reasons to use anabolic
agents: 1) to build muscle mass, and 2) to keep muscle mass.
Why is it that no one ever really discusses the second reason?
Simple,
it's very difficult to keep the mass gained from anabolic
mega-cycles, and gear gurus don't like to fail. In fact,
it's so hard to maintain big gains that today's "overbuilt"
professional bodybuilders find it easier to remain on big
gear, all year long.
As
a result, the art of "keeping gains" is all but
lost.
Most of us don't want the bloated mass of a modern pro bodybuilder,
anyway. We'd much rather build physiques like the bodybuilding
masters of the 70's and early 80's, like Arnold and Zane.
In other words, most guys want to be muscular, and have
great lines and symmetry, and be healthy – and not
be repulsive to 99.9% of the desirable women.
In
other words, we want to be muscular-cool . . .
The
Bodybuilding Masters Knew
The
bodybuilding masters took a fraction of the gear used today
and knew how to keep the gains they made. They were healthy
and physically capable. It's not that they didn't have access
to steroids, or that they didn't want to build their best
bodies.
By most standards, their bodies looked better than today's
pros, and let's not forget . . . this was the era when all
the great designer steroids were used, like Premobolan,
Parabolan, Winstrol, Dianabol, Anadrol, and Anavar.
The
masters knew how to pack on the right amount of mass; they
knew how to develop great lines and symmetry; they knew
how to cycle gear; and above all, they knew what to do to
keep their hard-earned gains.
It's
the "keeping" part that's a lost art. For these
masters, it wasn't a matter of shooting themselves with
mega doses of anabolics. That was never an option for them.
They weren't after the bloato-freak-show look of today's
pros.
No,
they wanted a much more refined and elegant look. And they
knew how to get it by manipulating anabolic physiology just
enough to achieve the esthetically pleasing, muscular leanness
that's the trademark of the bodybuilding masters.
No matter how you achieved your gains over the years –
whether you've used anabolic steroids, pro-steroids, prohormones,
or remained clean – it's those periods when your anabolic
physiology was a step beyond natural that you began to see
a shift toward muscular leanness.
Not
2 or 3 Steps . . .
But Only 1 Step Above Natural
It's not when you're bulking up with mega doses of anabolic
agents that you develop that refined, angular look that
everyone wants but almost no one can achieve. It's only
when you're one step above your natural anabolic state that
you really refine your physique.
This
is a level of anabolism that allows you to strip off the
fat without losing muscle; to overreach and not overtrain;
to be in an anabolic state without bloating or overstressing
the body's systems; to actually build muscle while losing
fat!
These
periods are all too infrequent and relatively unpredictable,
especially if you've remained off gear. This is why most
bodybuilders find it impossible to be in great condition
for more than just a few days out of the year. And if we're
honest with ourselves, we'd admit that we've lost a significant
amount of the cumulative total gains we've made over a lifetime
of training.
Don't
forget those periods when, for whatever reason, you weren't
that diligent about eating or training and you rapidly lost
some of the gains you'd worked so hard to acquire. For many
of us, our training lives have been a constant two-step-forward,
one-step-backward shuffle.
Think
about it. If you had kept all, or even most, of your gains
over the years, how much more muscular leanness would you
have today? How much stronger would you be? And, how much
closer to your goals would you be?
Scary
thought, huh?
Not
scary enough, my frustrated friend. What if there were a
way to insure your gains? What if there really was a science
breakthrough that would manipulate your anabolic physiology
so that you could actually attain – and keep –
a level of muscular leanness that's similar to that of the
bodybuilding masters?
What
if there really was a way to advance your anabolic physiology
one step above natural – and to do that 365 days a
year without the fear of down-regulation or suppression.
(You
newbies, this means it won't shrink your nads down to the
size of dried snap peas.)
Well,
that breakthrough does exist and I can prove it to a scientific
certainty.
The Lost Anabolic Bridge
There's
a concept among the bodybuilding masters of the 70's and
80's called "bridging." Bridging – aka "the
bridge" or "the taper" – is the transition
period between a heavier cycle for maximum mass and tapering
"off" gear. The bridge involves switching from
heavy androgenic-anabolic agents, which are highly suppressive,
to the less-androgenic but still highly anabolic compounds.
For
example, these masters might have used Parabolan, Deca and
Dianabol during the mass phase, and switched to Primobolan,
Winstrol and Anavar during the bridge.
The bridge was also used in the opposite direction, going
from off steroids to on. In other words, the masters might
need a little extra boost to keep progress moving, but they
didn't want to go heavy on the juice. So, they'd use bridging
protocols to achieve a supra-natural anabolic state that
they could sustain for many weeks without the fear of endocrine
disruption.
In
fact, I know several bodybuilding masters who used bridging
techniques exclusively! They never used gonzo amounts of
steroids to build their bodies. Anyone who knows these bodybuilding
masters will tell you the same thing: The gear most often
used back then was real tame compared to what's being hammered
today.
Regardless of how it was used, the bridge was intended to
harden the physique while maintaining muscle mass, in preparation
for competition or for sustained progression. And if executed
properly, the bridge was highly effective at shifting body
composition – stripping off body fat while maintaining
or even gaining muscle.
The
entire process was tedious and required a lot of discipline,
but highly effective. None of the masters blew away their
endocrine systems. None of them used big gear full-time.
Most of them looked great year round. And all of them utilized
the bridge to deliver these results.
The
bridge is the lost secret tool in today's bodybuilding.
And it's the single greatest thing you could employ to actually
get – and keep – your ultimate physique. That
is, if you like the muscular-lean look of the bodybuilding
masters.
A Better Anavar
Anavar
(oxandrolone) is one of the best steroids for bridging.
It can't aromatize or reduce. It's highly anabolic with
low androgenicity. It's only mildly suppressive and rates
minimal for liver toxicity.
The
overall effect of an Anavar bridge is a moderate increase
in lean mass and a significant reduction in body fat, making
it an ideal choice for long-term "cosmetic bodybuilding."
There is, however, one drawback to using Anavar. You have
to cycle off, due to potential liver toxicity and inevitable
testosterone suppression. So, even though Anavar is one
of the best bridging agents, it's far from perfect.
Bottom
line with androgens, if you want to avoid negative side
effects, they should be completely cycled off a significant
portion of the year, which drives users crazy . . .
The
more muscle magic you find in androgens, the harder it is
– psychologically and physiologically – to go
off. This is why there's been an all-out search for a nonsteroidal
anabolic compound. No one wants to go one day anabolically
naked!
Biotest
has been spending a lot of its research endeavors on finding
a nonsteroidal anabolic agent that actually produces an
effect that equals or exceeds Anavar. Not only that, we
wanted to find a compound that users could take year-round
without having to cycle off.
We
have, in fact, found such a compound. The final result is,
it's actually better than Anavar. But, before I get into
the details, I want to make three, very important points:
1)
The novel compound is intended for bridging, and not for
mega-gonzo cycles. As such, you'll not gain pounds of muscle
per week. No, this is far more elegant than that.
2)
Users will gain pounds of muscle, alright, but it will be
built consistently over the year, a few ounces at a time
– while losing body fat.
3)
The overall concept of bridging is to progressively shift
body composition toward muscular leanness. Again, this means
you might not see an immediate increase in total body weight,
but over time, you will see a significant difference in
the way you look and in your response to training.
So, I don't want any knuckleheads giving me smack about
overstating the effects of our novel anabolic agent. It's
not intended to mimic trenbolone stacked with stanozolol.
It's intended to equal the effects of a decent dose of Anavar!
But like I said, we beat that.
Bottom
line, in a head-to-head comparison to Anavar the new compound
equals the lean mass gains and exceeds the body-fat losses!
Again,
that's an excellent benchmark, but it's certainly not anything
like what MAG-10 could yield. Keep that in mind while you
let this sink in:
We've
developed a better anabolic compound than Anavar! Better
in the sense that it's equal in anabolic horsepower, but
it's actually more effective at stripping off body fat –
and it doesn't have to be cycled! It will not down-regulate
your endocrine system and it won't lose its effectiveness
over time.
So,
now you can bridge fulltime!
Carbolin 19
The Ultimate Anabolic Bridge
The
name of the novel anabolic compound is Carbolin 19. The
actual chemical name is colforsin 1,9-ethylcarbonate. Carbolin
19 is a carbonate ester of a naturally occurring diterpene
called colforsin (aka, forskolin). Don't even begin to confuse
this material with an herbal extract of Coleus forskohlii!
We're using a carbonate ester of pure colforsin, which means
it's a highly pure, single compound.
We
spent the last year extracting and purifying colforsin to
pharmaceutical-grade standards and further refining it into
a carbonate ester. This reaction extended the duration of
action from four hours to 12 hours. The carbonate gave us
an increase in bioavailability as well, but it wasn't enough.
So, we incorporated the compound into our Nano-Dispersed
Gel, which improved bioavailability to the point of being
drug-like.
One
of the members of our research group conducted a university
study on an earlier, less-potent version of Carbolin 19.
The findings show that pure colforsin literally equals the
anabolic effects of Anavar. But that's not all.
Unlike
Anavar, Carbolin 19 is not liver toxic and is not receptor
mediated. This means that you can take it year-round without
becoming liver toxic, that its effects will not diminish
over time, and that you will not suppress natural testosterone
production. In fact, there's indication that Carbolin 19
helps support the natural production of testosterone.
Bottom
line, Carbolin 19 can deliver better results than Anavar
but without any of the negative side effects, making it
the perfect anabolic bridge!
Here's
a chart that compares pharmaceutical-grade colforsin to
Anavar. The data for Anavar came from a compilation of two
peer-reviewed studies found in the scientific literature.
The colforsin data is from the university study that's pending
publication.
As
you can see, colforsin blew away Anavar, both in lean mass
gained and fat mass lost! And remember, the version of colforsin
used in the study is much weaker than Carbolin 19! In addition
to being more potent, Carbolin 19 has a longer active life
and a substantially greater bioavailability.
Expectations
Those
who've used Carbolin 19 say that it's much more effective
than colforsin and feels like real gear:
•
Increases muscular pump
• Elevates mood
• Increases rate of muscle gains
• Increases rate of strength gains
• Decreases fat mass while gaining muscle
Initially, users should not necessarily expect much if any
gain in overall body weight. What occurs is a shift in body
composition toward lean mass. In other words, if you're
losing fat while gaining muscle, you might have a net-zero
increase in body weight, but a dramatic shift in favor of
lean-body composition.
Remember,
the goal here is to gain muscle while losing fat, not "bulking
up." In other words, you're bridging, not bulking.
Not only that, you're able to bridge year-round!
With
Carbolin 19, there's no more losses because you can't eat
or train perfectly, and no more two-steps-forward, one-step-backward
progress.
Instead
you can, for the very first time, keep your hard-earned
gains, and you can look great year-round.
Carbolin
19 is, without a doubt, the very best bridging agent ever
developed, period. And I have every expectation that you'll
agree.
