At about three weeks out from the 2012 Arnold, we sent filmmaker Seth Pascale down to Arlington, Texas to get the champ in action. In this video, Warren trains back and the only commentary is from the man with the plan, Johnnie Jackson. Warren is about to attempt to defend his Arnold Classic title against some big guns in the likes of Dennis Wolf, Evan Centopani and Dexter Jackson. As you can see from the video, Warren is doing everything he can to be the last man standing on the Arnold Classic stage.

Branch Warren, the reigning champion of the Arnold Classic, has been through a lot in the past year. Victories at the Arnold Classic and British Grand Prix, a quad tear that took him out of the Mr Olympia, and more recently the birth of a baby girl. Now he’s on the hunt to protect his title in Columbus. We wanted to capture the true essence of the Branch Warren in the gym. So at three weeks out from the 2012 Arnold, we sent filmmaker Seth Pascale down to Arlington, Texas to get the champ in action. We got rid of the fancy edits, commentary and all the bells and whistles to focus directly on the Branch Warren workout experience. This video is 100% US grade A Branch Warren. We hope you enjoy!


Human growth hormone (somatropin) is widely used outside of normal medical situations. For example, in bodybuilding it is taken to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat. Being so far removed from the hands of legitimate pharmaceutical distributors, doctors, and pharmacists, preparations of doubtful origin and low quality frequently find their way to the (black) market.
In the last few years,counterfeited, contaminated, and very poor quality somatropin have been located and analysed, both in the European Union and in the United States. There were many counterfeited preparations found, some of which instead of the expected recombinant growth hormone rhGH, contained the pregnancy hormone HCG. Other illegally prepared preparations contained growth hormone from human cadavers (pituitary glands), veterinary somatropin variants, vitamins, insulin,etc. Looking at the more than 50 proven cases of the transmission of the Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease by contaminated growth hormone preparations, mainly during the 1980’s [1-4],we feel people should be urgently warned before using questionable growth hormone preparations .
Per example most of the well known sources from Poland Uncle z, has recall their HGH because it where fake. He sale a lot of fake hgh batch.
UNCLE Z,NAPS AND EUROKING SALE THIS KINDS OF FAKE BLUE TOPS HGH!
That product is supposed to come from China; presumably from one of the many unlicensed producers/exporters

Evan Centopani is the young man on our cover this month. Evan has what it takes to be a champion – vision, passion and drive. Evan is only thirty years old and continues to pack on the dense, grainy muscle maturity and improve his physique from year to year.
After placing 4th at the 2011 Arnold Classic, Evan decided to skip the Mr. Olympia and spend more time training and preparing to go to the next level, improving in chest, back thickness and width, and hamstrings so his legs look better from the side. His plan is to win the Arnold Classic! That won’t be an easy task when he steps onstage March 3rd against other Team MD athletes such as defending champion Branch Warren, runner-up Dennis Wolf and three-time Arnold Classic Champion and Mr. Olympia Dexter Jackson. Evan is taking things one step at a time – first the Arnold, then the Olympia.
Evan is a smart guy who keeps improving at every show. He has a vision and plan and he’s going to execute it. Evan is young, and one day he may stand on the Mr. Olympia stage as multi Olympian Champions like Arnold, Lee Hany, Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman, and Jay Culter did.
Talking about Mr. Olympians, check out our exclusive interview with the King of Bodybuilding, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold has always done things bigger and better than everyone else. He redefined what it means to be a bodybuilder, raising the bar the world over and exceeding our expectations with his professional achievements that followed his bodybuilding career. So it’s entirely fitting that Arnold Classic and Arnold Sports Festival is the biggest bodybuilding event in the industry. But you ain’t seen nothing yet. Arnold is not content to simply be the best at something – like a true champion and visionary, he wants to take things to another level. The Arnold Classic is going global, with plans for competitions on every continent. His contest is growing and getting bigger – something that Arnold knows a lot about.
Arnold doesn’t grant many interviews, but he talks to Muscular Development and Shawn Ray exclusively this month. Arnold talks about the Arnold Classic, the Arnold Europe in Madrid, Spain and the contest’s continued globalization – with plans for competitions in Brazil, Russia, and China. These contests will bring bodybuilding to fans around the world and will be a true reflection of Arnold’s vision, passion and drive – and like Arnold, larger than life. Thank you, Arnold, for taking the time to speak with MD this month!
The rest of the issue is packed to the gills with feature articles on Branch Warren, Dennis Wolf, Ronny Rockel, Dexter Jackson, Eduardo Correa, and this month’s Major Distraction: “Naughty Nathalia”, IFBB Bikini Pro Nathalia Melo. Also check out the “Phil Health Advantage!” You will be quite surprised! Something none of us suspected! Plus all the latest-cutting edge research and information on bodybuilding by the industry experts and insiders who made it all happen. See you at the Arnold!

3 Fat Rich Food that Bodybuilders Needs!
1. Eggs – over the time in bodybuilding world eggs remained one of the best sources of protein, being on the top in comparison with other products. Both albumen and yolk are rich in quality proteins but albumens easier digest. Yolks also contain fats that slow digestion so providing proteins in human body for a longer period of time.
Single yolk contains 6 grams of fats (half of them being saturated), so 6-8 eggs per day can bring too many fats. But by removing some yolks from diet will be achieved a balance.
2. Red meat – Of course to obtain performance it is necessary to reduce calories, but the elimination of fat in the diet can lower testosterone levels. Red meat contains fats that support the high level of testosterone in the body. It is recommended for bodybuilders to eat red meat daily.
3. Salmon
Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. This type of acids help on increasing immunity, fight high cholesterol, lower inflammation in muscles and thereby restore muscle faster and help in their growth.
Salmon contains high quality proteins that are often indicated for muscle definition.

Q: What do you think of using a mild steroid like Anavar to bridge between cycles? Is this a good idea to maintain mass between my normal cycles? If so, how much should I use?
A: There are many issues with “bridging” that should make the average person think twice about it. For starters, every anabolic steroid known to man will suppress testosterone production when used in doses sufficient to promote muscle gain. Studies have confirmed notable testosterone suppression with therapeutic doses of oxandrolone, so you are S.O.L. if a recovery bridge with Anavar is what you (like many) were hoping for. The next issue is the simple and more general fact that you are not going off steroids with a steroid bridge, and are potentially exacerbating the negative health aspects of their use, such their effects on serum lipids and cardiovascular disease risk. If you are spending your entire year going from strong cycle to lesser oral (Anavar) cycle, you are undoubtedly always going to be negatively altering your lipids (orals tend to be particularly harsh here, in fact). You may be putting yourself in some notable risk as the years progress. You need to remember that the whole point of cycling is to minimize the negative health risks of steroid use. The fact that these drugs have potential risks really cannot be disputed, just addressed intelligently. Bridging may be a very unhealthful way of sustaining these risks indefinitely, instead of mitigating them with off time. Don’t bridge with steroids!

Non-Steroidal Bridging
If you want an optimal “off cycle” program, you really should look at non-hormonal anabolic agents and/or supplements instead of anabolic steroids. For example, I know many guys that like to go off steroids and onto a cycle of Human Growth Hormone or IGF-1. Many others use this time to undertake a detailed program of dietary supplements. I’ve often recommended a 50-60 day stack of Creatine (3-5 grams per day) and Arachidonic acid ( 750-1000mg daily) for this purpose, which are both very effective natural muscle-building supplements. Truth be told, a number of professional athletes I know are using this combination between cycles/during testing periods right now with excellent results. Post cycle, these supplements can do an excellent job of helping you maintain the hard work you’ve put into your physique while on cycle. They also make an excellent non-hormonal anabolic stack in general.
A branched chain amino acid (BCAA) product might not hurt during your off-cycle time either, as recovery may be slowed compared to what you were used to on-cycle. It should help you recover faster and get more out of your workouts. A fish oil supplement might also be a good idea to help balance your lipid and triglyceride levels, which remember were likely altered for the negative during your steroid cycles. Off-cycle may also be a good time to invest in some of the other general health promoting vitamins and herbs etc. that may be fond of taking. The bottom line is, your off time is supposed to be “off time” for a reason. This is the time to let your body get back to its natural state of hormonal balance, and for you to enjoy a period where you are not using steroids and perhaps placing certain strains on your health. Take advantage of this time and use it for what its worth – keeping you healthy and happy.

1. Big weights.
Perhaps it is the most common mistake among athletes, regardless of trained level. Even bodybuilders with experience and newcomers, from time to time exaggerate their capabilities, trying to lift too much weight in an attempt to impress his friends, individuals of the opposite sex or more experienced athletes.
First, you should not do this, because in moments of super-heavy lifting for you weight, there is a high probability of serious injury of joints or muscles. Secondly, most chicks no matter how much you can raise on the biceps. And finally, an experienced bodybuilder only smiles at your vain attempts; because he knows that large weights to overload themselves are meaningless and fraught with consequences.
Mistake 2. Lack of hygiene.
Gym – a place where trained hundreds of people a day, while they sweat they use the same dumbbells, benches, fitness equipment. All this makes the gym an ideal place for germs.
Would you like to lie on the wet from the sweat of others or pick up a bench which is an infection? I am sure not. It is important to make sure that you are so hygienic as possible, which implies the execution of several simple steps:
1. no matter how trite it sounds, wash hands after using the toilet;
2. come to the gym in clean sports clothing and footwear;
3. take a towel to the gym, it will help to cope with sweat;
4. if after completing the exercise, on the bench or training device left your sweat, wipe it with napkins – usually in the normal rooms they are in stock.
In addition doing this you set a good example to other athletes.
Mistake 3. Spread of shells and scales
This error was made and is made till this day, almost by all bodybuilders. Many athletes do not clean up after them dumbbell, bars, and other training goods. Several reasons suggest that this is bad: the one who trains after you must spend his time to dismantling rods; formed a mess with the weights, it is not clear where that is, besides, anyone can stumble over and get dragged along a dumbbell injuries from falling .
In general – clean up after you weight! This is correct and is certainly a sign of good breeding.
Mistake 4. Excessive communication at the gym
It is clear that at the gym, we not only train but also communicate with other athletes. But do not let this turn into a long communication.
I often see beginners who come to the hall and a long talk between sets, while other athletes waiting for the busy trainer / shell free. In addition, thinking about unimportant thing, will be more difficult for you to focus on exercise.
I’m not saying that just can not to talk, but coming to the gym, you must remember – the main goal should be full, concentrated training.
Mistake 5. Not using the locks
In various exercises with rod, be it bench press or squats, an important role play right why of choosing weight. If you do not fix them with a rod locks, then at the bias of rod, and this happens often enough, the weight can slide down. At best, this will produce a strong enough noise, at worst – you or standing next to you athlete can get seriously injured.
So always use the locks for the rod.
Mistake 6. More – not always better
More weight, more approaches, more exercise … STOP! More – not always better! This rule applies to bodybuilding.
All beginners should train their body to a certain scheme, without overloading its capacity.
For example, to limit the exercise to 5 approaches for the major muscle groups, for about 8-12 times. Rest between sets should not exceed 90 seconds, ideally it should not exceed 1 minute. In addition, the weight that you raise, do not necessarily have to grow from the approach to the approach.
You should be able to easily and correctly perform the exercise, before increasing the weight. In our case – the quality is more important than quantity.
Mistake 7. Incorrect training
Performing the exercises not correctly, in the best case you do not get the necessary result of the exercise, and at worst – were injured. This is especially true of such exercises, like squats, which if not properly carrying out highly probable injury of the knee.
Therefore it is recommended to take personal trainer, at least the first two weeks of training. He will explain and show you how to work right with weight.
Mistake 8. The imbalance of cardio and strength training program
As practice shows, getting to the gym, beginners-girls immediately occupy cardio exercise machines, ignoring the power one, and the newcomers’ guys – run to power trainers, in their turn, ignore the cardio one. And both are wrong.
Girls, you will not get the beautiful shape, working only with cardio training program. You will burn both fat and muscle, and the result is a lean figure in the style of “skin and bones, without the seductive lines and shapes, which like guys.
Guys, you will not get result that you are waiting only strength training program. In addition, it is important to understand that the most important muscle of human is – the heart. Cardio exercises train the heart and lungs, and indeed the entire cardiovascular system of man.
I would advise beginners to make 3 full weight training and two or three by 30 minute cardio workouts per week.
Mistake 9. No planification
Often, newcomers do not plan a training cycle in advance and at the gym they do what they want. As a consequence of this error, the impact of training significantly decreases.
Having entered the gym, you must be acutely aware of what exactly you’re going to work, in other words, you must have a plan.
Ideally, we should start a diary in which he painted program of exercises, what muscle groups and when you’re going to coach. In addition to its fixed number of approaches / reps / weights, this helps to trace the dynamics of the results of your workouts.
Mistake10. Considering unimportant nutrition
Nutrition is one of the most important things that should be taking by notice by bodybuilders. You can do the most advanced programs and with the best coaches, but without proper nutrition you will not succeed in the construction of the body.
