Are prohormones legal and do they work? From my understanding you would have many of the same side effects as normal AAS, as such, would postcycle be similar? If so how would you go about that as many of the required compounds for pc are prescription required.

alright raynor. question. is it possible to get stronger by eating less than usual and hitting 10-15reps on most exercises, including the compound lifts. i have lost weight doing this but have gained strength i believe. may have lost some size though

Short answer -

Yes they do work, however certain PH's are very harsh and can cause side effects, including gyno and/or liver issues.

I would highly advise that you do NOT use PH's unless you know what you're doing.

Because of the controversial and sometimes illicit nature of PH's, I can't give you specialized assistance with this topic on JSP.

However, I would advise that you do a good amount of research before consuming any PH's. Technically speaking, PH's are more harsh on the body than regular steroids, and do in fact require PCT the same way anabolic steroids would.

Depending on your starting status, you can gain strength from doing virtually ANY weight lifting routine. The body, when not used to lifting weights, will rapidly gain muscle during the first year or so of training, even if you aren't conforming to the best plan.

That being said, you technically can gain some strength by eating less and doing higher reps, if you are just starting out in terms of strength training.


However, you will see MUCH better gains to muscle mass if you were to train a proper 5x5, 3x5, or hypertrophy plan, as well as eating a correct bulking diet for your height/weight/age/activity level.

If you want to lose fat before bulking, you need to be on a sufficient caloric deficit (at least 500 cals less than what you burn), and also exercising for at least 30-60 minutes per day, 6 days a week. I would advise lifting weights during cutting, as this tends to burn more calories than cardio alone.


This is a very basic explanation to your question, but at the very least it will suffice with you making a decision. That being said, let me know if I can help you with something more specialized after you decide what direction you want to go in.

hey raynor, ive been cutting for 3 months now and i wanna start bulking for new years. i'm 20 y/o 5'11 164 pounds could you give me a good bulking workout plan? thanks

Bulking Diet, workout, and supplement guide

Yo raynor,

Hurt my wrist lifting some christmas trees and it's been bothering me for about 2 weeks.

It doesn't bother me moving my wrist up and down, but when I try to rotate it side to side or in a circle it kills.

The pains on the outside of the wrist running from the bottom of my hand to about an inch down.

Is this most likely just a sprain? Is there anything I can do to speed up recovery?

It makes certain lifts almost unbearable, and I was hoping it'd be better after 2 weeks but its still sore.

Okay, so I am 5'5" about 162 lbs about 15% BF.

I want to put on mass amount of size until about June.

I saw your Hypertrophy program and your 5x5 program.

I want to put on all the size really fast, but I want to make strength gains. Will the 5x5 put on size just as well as the Hypertrophy?

What should my macros be?

Supplements that I have are C4 preworkout, ON micronized Creatine, ON whey protein, X-Tend BCAA's

Do you have examples of 15-20 min HITT cardio?

If I'm interested in getting my personal trainer cert. which one should I go for? ACE?
