Dr. Daniel Decanatti (aka Dr. Deca) is the world’s leading authority on anabolics and their uses, both in the medical field and, more controversially, for sports/physical enhancement. We here at The Anabolic Alamanac were fortunate enough to track him down and get him to answer some questions that had been sent in by readers…
Q:I just got through with my first bottle of a new supplement by Ultimate Medical Research called Power N Speed™, a new, bio-available nitrogen compound! My training partner, a med-tech who just got back from Iraq, said if you can “bottle pure nitrogen” you’ll never, ever, need to take a steroid again! And there’s nothing any athletic federation can do to ban it! I sure hope they can’t because this stuff is unbelievable, I’ve gained 6 pounds of really lean muscle in just 3 weeks. Can you tell me anymore about this new nitrogen compound?
A:Yes I can! Bio-Available Nitrogen (BAN) is a very very hot ticket amongst hardcore guys who know that pure nitrogen is truly the “bomb”, literally the nitrogen bomb!
BAN is perhaps the most unique supplement on the market, with the possible exception of TridenosenH™, and here’s how it works.
There is an Asian vine called Kudzu that has the amazing ability to “hold” atmospheric nitrogen. Nitrogen being the second most abundant element behind hydrogen, is what is necessary to induce protein synthesis.
And as you most assuredly know, anabolic steroids cause nitrogen to be “retained” from the protein we eat! So you eat protein to get the nitrogen... then you take “juice” to retain more nitrogen. So you accelerate the protein synthesis process oven more!
But, what if you could just take “concentrated” nitrogen, and then take as much as necessary to greatly accelerate the protein synthesis process. Well, this is exactly why you’re getting so muscular on Power N Speed™. By combining pure nitrogen with the nitrogen you get from... let’s say, 200 mg of protein... you won’t ever need prescription steroids again, especially when you combine it with an ATP compound like TridenosenH™ or Enerselen.
Both these compounds are massive augmenters of ATP. And, since ATP is the “master chemical” that causes nitrogen retention in the first, it doesn’t take Dan Duchaine to figure out that you will absolutely go apes**t in terms of nitrogen retention when you combine these two compounds.
Now throw in some NO and a natural test booster and you’ll have so much nitrogen retention you’ll be able to do a 360 Slam Dunk with ease... even if you’ve never played basketball before!
Anyway, what a team of scientific researchers, lead by a leading endocrinologist, Dr. Nick Delgado of Newport Beach, CA were able to do is refine the “Kudzu extraction process” first used by German bio-chemists in the late 1930’s. So you see, a 100% pure anabolic agent was almost developed 70 years ago... except for when Über Dumkopft (complete idiot) Adolf Hitler invaded Poland in May of 1939 and research was halted.
Anyway, what Delgado was able to do was extract the nitrogen, but without damaging the DNA sequence like the German researchers. It’s like extracting a baby from the womb, what’s the point if it’s not alive!
Now, the extraction method Delgado used is unknown, even to me, because he simply would not tell me. Hey, and I don’t blame him. After all, he’s sitting on a “pot of gold”.
Damn, how come I didn’t figure this one out! Oh well, the fact that I can now turn guys onto another awesome anabolic that won’t jack with your nuts and liver, is a very cool thing!
And even if an “athletic federation” tries to ban BAN (bio-available nitrogen) there is no test or will there ever be one that can detect it because hey, guess what, then they’d have to ban whey protein and even eggs. Hey, let’s just ban food all together... then we would be completely natural. Screw those “athletic federations”! Those guys who make the rules all have worse genetics than me and couldn’t win a gold medal using 22 different drugs.
Q:I’m curious to know how injections into the quads affect training... How sore does an injection make a limb, and does it prevent you from training?
A:There are a lot of factors that present themselves as issues with injection sites. Even shooting your glutes can result in tremendous soreness if you don’t hit the spot correctly, and that can affect your training schedule. So, no matter where you inject, you can always end up with the potential of some kind of injury, soreness, or even worse, infection. But let’s just say that abscess and infection do not result. Soreness is at least probable when you inject a more sinewy muscle with less fat surrounding it. However, you can minimize the chance of this by using an inch sized needle instead of your normal 1.5 or 2 inch needle you may use in your glute.
Also, depending upon the material you’re shooting (water based AS are preferable in these areas) you can increase the gauge of the needle so that it minimizes the chance of injury in muscle tissue. The last thing you want, injecting into the quad is to get a lump there - even a non-infected lump - of undissolved material, or worse, a nodule that does get infected. One way to avoid this is to try not to inject more than 2cc’s into each leg if you do choose the quad. Of course, the true advantage to choosing a site like this is access and line of sight. You can see what you’re doing and easily inject without going in at an angle as you may do while reaching around to inject your glute.
Q:Thanks for turning me on to LeanTabs™ and TridenosenH™ for getting shredded! I’ve been using both for three weeks and I’ve already lost 7 pounds... but my arms are actually up ½ inch! What’s up with that doc?
A:What’s up is increased protein anabolism with TridenosenH™ (as well as suppression of A-1 adenosine fat receptors) and a massive thermogenic action from the LeanTabs™. And, quite obviously, this is the effect you want... getting big where you want (arms, chest and legs) and getting small where you want (waist, hips etc.) I’m getting more and more people to get off ephedrine and on to LeanTabs™ instead. It’s safer, and works better! Keep up the good work!
Q:Everyone always talks about how outrageous AS use is, and how great they feel on it - like some raging bull or sex god who can’t keep it in their pants - but I just don’t get that. I don’t even get the kind of pumps that these guys talk about. Can I at least expect better pumps in the gym sometime soon?
A:The feelings one gets as a result of using AS can vary wildly. Remember, you’re adding a set kind of chemistry to a largely unknown base of chemistry, and creating a one in a million mix. While we’re all human, our chemistry is very different, one to the next. As for feeling like a raging bull, I’d say that it’s really a matter of how AS affects your sex drive and aggression levels. Some experience an intensity in these areas and others do not. Be glad you don’t feel like ripping a phone book in half or dragging a stranger into a dark alley and having your way with her. You could get in trouble with intensity like that, and it does affect a very few in this manner. When it comes to these things, as well as the pump you get in the gym, the combination of drugs in the cycle you are on is what creates everything from the amount of pump you experience to your sex drive, to feelings of well-being or ill rest.
For instance, using Deca and Test is a good combination for strength, well-being, sex drive and wicked pumps in the gym - adding D-bol will just increase the volume of pump you experience, though it may increase aggression or eventually decrease sex drive. So much has to do with the art of applying chemistry, noting your experiences and making good choices based on those experiences. If you really want that raging bull feeling, try changing the ratios of drugs you do well with, dropping one out and bringing another back in, or try training at a greater intensity. It may be because you are not training hard enough. One can only speculate. Just know that for every intensely positive response you may have to a combination or cycle, there’s an inverted intensely negative response waiting on the other end. Everything that goes around comes around... which is why it’s called a “cycle”.
Q:I’m on a good growth cycle of 1000 mg Test, 500 mg of Deca and 200 mg of EQ per week. Can I still do cardio 3-4 times per week while on a cycle like this? I was thinking of doing 30-45 minutes 3x a week or so.. My hope was to put on about 15 pounds of quality muscle and drop from about 15% body fat to about 8% in 12-16 weeks. Is this realistic or will it hinder my gains?
A:This is the age-old question: Can one build muscle and burn fat, simultaneously? Well, it may be best answered this way: It isn’t that you can’t do both at the same time, but you may need to adjust your goals in terms of actual numbers and realize that you can’t have it all at the same time, all the time! Or, forgo looking good and eat like a horse to get the most out of your cycle and work on your body fat levels gradually, by just cleaning up your diet over the course of 9 months to a year. You won’t have to diet and you’ll keep making gains. But if you’re not up for that, consider that the best way to approach unfamiliar territory it to just jump in and see what happens by experimentation. Doing less or more cardio throughout the cycle will affect people differently. Diet is really everything with body fat loss, and muscle gain, so I think you ought to focus your efforts on heavy training and strict diet most of all.
However, cardio does have its advantages to anyone on a cycle because it minimizes water gain and can really help in speeding up the process of fat loss fairly effortlessly. When you aren’t holding water, and are losing small amounts of fat, steadily and gradually, it’s easier to see exactly what kind of gains you’re getting from a cycle. So while in your last cycle you may say, “Hey, I put on 20 pounds of mass” you may have only put on about 10 or 12, but because you had the extra heft and water adding girth to muscles, you felt like you were more successful. So you see, appearances are not everything. For a start, try keeping your calories high, but your food really clean, and do 3 days of cardio, at 25 minutes of high intensity work. Always do cardio on an empty stomach to maximize fat loss when insulin levels are lowest.
Q:I’m on my third cycle of “ON” Cycle™ and “OFF” Cycle™ from Fizogen which I’m stacking with another Fizogen product, Blitz Cycle™. So far I’ve put on 11 pounds of muscle in about 18 weeks. What is your opinion of this stack?
A:Who cares what I think, good lord man, you’ve gained 11 pounds of solid muscle in less than five months... I’d say “that” is the only opinion necessary, the end result.
I think what you wanted to ask was, what is the physiological reason for such rapid growth using this combination of compounds.
First, the quality of ingredients in all Fizogen products is unparalleled in the business. Each supplement is made with the highest concentrations of active ingredients and the “quality control” far surpasses what is required by Federal, State and Local laws.
The primary reason you’re experiencing so much muscle growth is because Fizogen’s Blitz Cycle™, which in my opinion is the best NO compound on the market, acts as a cell signaling agent. And this is very important because “ON” and “OFF” Cycles have numerous anabolic agents in them that will “signal” the activation of what are called ribosomes in the muscle cell.
Think of ribosomes as “organic computer chips” that are programmed to cause protein synthesis. And, quite obviously, the more “active” these ribosomes are, the more muscle you develop. Well, that’s what the NO does (amongst many other things) it excites, or signals increased ribosomal activity at the same time all the anabolic components are hitting the ribosomes!
It’s like first squirting lighter fluid on charcoal (the muscle) and then dropping the match. But without the lighter fluid, in this case the Blitz Cycle™, the charcoal would not light up to anywhere near the degree! By all means, continue this approach, it’s a sure-fire way to build muscle.
Q:How about shooting your lats for back width? I see guys who compete at the pro level and I could swear they’d just start flying away they are so wide and have such amazing lats. Surely
they must shoot their lats on a regular basis, right?
A:Good hard training never hurt anyone either! Truth is, the lats are a problem. There are enough places that are easier to hit than the lats and will be more beneficial. Plus, nobody really has proven that you are making better gains by site injecting. It may or may not be valid. It appears to be, but then growth is something that happens with AS use and it’s hard to quantify why it happened and where it happened first or more profoundly. It’s like the “chicken vs. the egg” theory... which came first? I have absolutely no damn idea! But can the latissimus dorsi be shot?
Yes sir - as can any muscle or place on your body - but it’s an awkward place and because there is so much sinew and tendon attachment, it’s not the most ideal place. It’s also one of the most awkward to shoot yourself. What you may be seeing up on the stage is a lot of Synthol use in the lat area, too. This, of course, has nothing to do with training. Back to the logistics... The risk you run of injecting the lats is that you will invariably come in around the under arm area and at a weird angle. Because there is a lot of bacteria on the skin’s surface in that area, and a lot of sweat glands, you run the risk of infecting the area or injuring yourself. My conclusion: Why?
