ARRESTED FOR
STEROIDS?
by Legal Muscle
Under the Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990,
which applies across the country (USA), steroids are in
the same legal class -- Schedule III -- as barbiturates,
LSD precursors, veterinary tranquilizers like ketamine
and narcotic painkillers like Vicodin.
Simple possession is a federal offense punishable by
up to one year in prison and/or a minimum fine of
$1,000.
Selling steroids, or possessing them with intent to
sell, is a federal felony. An individual who sells
steroids, or possesses them intent to sell, is
punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a
$250,000 fine for a first offense (actual sentencing in
specific cases is based upon the United States
Sentencing Guidelines, as fully described in LEGAL
MUSCLE ).
According to steroid law expert Rick Collins, state
laws vary widely. Most states, but not all, have added
anabolic steroids to their schedules of controlled
substances (a complete list of all state steroid laws is
contained in LEGAL MUSCLE).
For examples, in Florida and Georgia, simple
possession of steroids in any amount is a felony with up
to five years imprisonment, and in Alabama it's a felony
with up to ten years in prison! In Louisiana, you can
face imprisonment with hard labor for a first offense of
mere personal use possession!
Even if a jail sentence is ultimately avoided, the
consequences of an arrest alone include being
handcuffed, fingerprinted, and hauled before a judge for
arraignment in open court.
There will likely be legal expenses and even
forfeiture of seized assets. A criminal conviction may
prevent or interfere with employment opportunities in
many fields such as law enforcement, and members of
certain professions involving licensing (physicians,
lawyers, dentists, pharmacists, teachers, nurses,
cosmetologists, public accountants, architects,
auctioneers, barbers, and licensed counselors, just to
name a few) can expect a conviction to be reported to
their state licensing authority, placing current
employment in jeopardy.
A drug conviction can suspend a person's driver's
license (it's mandatory in some jurisdictions) and be a
bar to the ability to own a firearm.
The absolutely essential, must-read guide to anyone
arrested for anabolic steroids is LEGAL MUSCLE see
details here.
If you've been arrested for anabolic steroids, hire a
good lawyer. An able and experienced criminal defense
attorney is essential to obtaining the best possible
result in any criminal matter. Of course, it's not as
helpful if he or she doesn't know much of anything about
anabolic steroids.
Few state or local police, federal agents,
prosecutors or judges are educated about the substances
themselves or the fine points of the laws they are
enforcing.
It's not uncommon for offense laws and sentencing
guidelines to be misapplied. Moreover, the endless
misinformation and propaganda reported in the mainstream
press about steroids and their adverse effects has
severely biased the beliefs of those in the criminal
justice system.
A prosecutor whose knowledge of anabolic steroids is
based on what has been printed in the lay press may be
inclined to offer an inappropriately severe plea, or a
judge may be inclined to impose an unduly harsh
sentence. When defense counsel is undereducated, the end
result can be disaster for the client.
Discuss with your lawyer his or her level of
knowledge about anabolic steroids. It's important for
your lawyer to understand what anabolic steroids are,
how they compare with and differ from recreational
drugs, how they affect the body and mind, and how and
why they came to become classified as controlled
substances.
It's also crucial for him to know the specific
anabolic steroid laws and sentencing guidelines that
will apply in your case.
The prime source for all this information is LEGAL
MUSCLE.
Make sure that both you and your lawyer are fully
familiar with it. Many clients take the further step of
insisting that the lawyer on the case arranges a
consultation with Rick Collins as to the facts of the
particular case. Other clients simply hire Rick as lead
counsel.
If you have been arrested for anabolic steroids, feel
free to call Collins, McDonald & Gann, P.C., for
further information. Rick Collins and his law partners
are committed to defending those who are prosecuted for
anabolic steroids.
Rick Collins and his team of "legal muscle" will
promptly respond to questions from anyone being
investigated for or charged with a crime related to
anabolic steroids.
Where appropriate, a referral will be made to
qualified counsel in another jurisdiction. The firm of
Collins, McDonald & Gann, P.C., is available 24
hours, 7 days a week (for emergencies only) by calling
516-294-0300. Other phone inquiries are answered
weekdays between the hours of 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. EST, or

including white-collar crime, fraud, narcotics cases,
thefts, assaults, and serious traffic offenses
(including suspended license charges).

Back-Built
Basics
By Mick Hart
The back as a whole comprises a very large
mass of muscle tissue, and is perhaps only second to the legs in
terms of the amount of effort needed to train it effectively. The
development of the back musculature, together with a slim waist,
produce the characteristic V-shaped torso of the bodybuilder,
obviously a much desired physical trait, whether you are
competitive, or training for recreation. In this article, some of
the most effective exercises and techniques for building the
collection of muscles which make up the
back will be discussed, and how to apply them to your
training...
The Trapezius
Muscles At the centre of the upper back are the trapezius
muscles. These form a diamond-shaped configuration in this region,
and are visible at either side of the neck when developed. These are
very powerful muscles that respond well to heavy weight. Exercises
which target them directly are any type of shrugging movement done
with a barbell or dumbbells, but these muscles are also worked hard
in any type of rowing movement, and are worked very hard in
deadlifts.
The Teres, Rhomboids and Latissimus Dorsi
Muscles The teres, rhomdoids and other smaller muscles of the
upper back are worked well by rowing movements such as barbell rows,
T-bar rows, low-cable rows etc. These muscles are primarily situated
around the shoulder-blade region, and along with the trapezius,
their development contributes significantly to overall thickness of
the back musculature. The latissimus dorsi muscles originate from
the shoulder and run almost down to the waist on either side of the
body, and it is the development of these muscles which contributes
greatly to back width and to back thickness. They are worked by
rowing movements, and by 'pull-down' and chinning-type
movements.
The Lower Back In training the lower
back, the primary consideration is in working the spinal erector
muscles located at either side of the spine in the lumbar region.
These are very powerful muscles and are stimulated to some degree by
many exercises as they are involved in stabilising the body during
standing movements, such as various types of presses, curls, rows
etc. They are worked more directly by exercises such as deadlifts
and squats, or more in isolation via hyper-extensions. It is very
important that training of the lower back is not neglected, and
indeed, in a properly constructed training program, adequate
stimulation of these muscles cannot be avoided through the use of
heavy basic exercises e.g. rows, squats, deadlifts etc. The
development of a strong lumbar region will reduce the chance of
injury to this area through the course of your training, and will
also translate to the ability to safely move some really heavy
iron.
The Exercises and Back Routines One of, if
not THE best back development in bodybuilding, belonged to the
ex-Mr. Olympia, Dorian Yates. How does he train his back? The answer
is through the use of primarily basic exercises such as barbell
rows, deadlifts, dumbbell rows, heavy pulldowns and machine rows
with high intensity and short training duration. In other words, he
uses very heavy weight (in strict form) and tremendous effort to
build his back, but doesn't live in the gym. It would be impossible,
and completely unnecessary, to train for hours with this kind of
ferocity; adequate growth stimulation occurs very quickly with this
type of training - any more work simply amounts to overtraining, and
consequent loss of size and strength. Remember, although the human
body is very resilient, it can only take so much, and so you must
give it time to recover and grow between training sessions, before
you hammer it into the growth process with another brief but killer
workout. However, you must also keep in mind that being able to
train this hard is not something that you will immediately be able
to do; it is a learned skill and few people have the force of will
to push themselves like this - you'll have to find this out for
yourself. Regardless of your goals, whether they be to become
muscularly massive or just to get in good shape, hard and brief
training sessions with the weights is the most efficient way to
train, and the best way to get rapid results, assuming your diet is
good and you are getting enough rest. You also don't have to be in
the gym for hours on end, which frees up your time to devote to
other endeavours; an important consideration when you take into
account the busy schedules many of us have. Just take your time in
applying this training philosophy, and gradually increase the
intensity level of your workouts - the results will
follow.
Here are some effective back
exercises:
Barbell Row In order to perform this
movement, have a suitably loaded barbell resting on the floor in
front of you, squat down with knees bent and head erect and grasp
the barbell with an overhand grip, with hands just over
shoulder-width apart. Stand erect with the barbell as if you are
performing a deadlift initially. Then to begin the barbell row, bend
the knees slightly and bend over at the waist, letting the bar hang
down at arms length with head erect, lower back curved inward. Then
using the muscles of your upper back, pull the bar into your
midsection, hold for a brief static contraction if desired, then
lower to arms length. Again pull the bar into your midsection, and
so on, for the desired number of reps. This movement may also be
performed with an underhand grip on the bar. Feel free to experiment
with different grips and hand spacings.
T-Bar
Row The T-bar row, like the barbell row, is also a very
effective upper back exercise, and is executed in essentially the
same manner. The movement is performed using a T-bar apparatus,
which consists of a long bar anchored to a pivot at one end, and to
which weights can be loaded at the other. Handles are present for
lifting at the weight bearing end, which are pulled up toward the
midsection during execution of the movement. This exercise has a
slightly different feel than the barbell row, although essentially
similar muscles are targeted.
Seated Rows These are
performed on a seated row apparatus. Again the upper back is worked.
You essentially sit on a seat with two handles in front of you at
shoulder height to which weight can be added. The handles are pulled
toward your chest, and the back muscles squeezed for a strong
contraction at the top of the movement. Return to the start and
repeat for the desired number of reps.
Dumbbell
Rows In the dumbbell row, one side of the back is worked at a
time. A heavy dumbbell is grasped in one hand, and the torso
supported in a position horizontal to the floor by resting the free
hand on a knee-high bench. The dumbbell is then pulled upwards using
the back muscles as much as possible; you should try to concentrate
on the back muscles doing the work and think of the arms simply as
hooks, keeping them out of the movement as much as possible. The
ability to do this will come with experience. The exercise is then
repeated for the other side of the
back.
Deadlifts The deadlift is an extremely
effective exercise which, along with the squat, works more muscle
tissue in unison than any other exercise. This means that it is very
hard work to do, and so really stimulates muscle growth and progress
throughout the entire body. The muscles of the legs, the trapezius
and shoulder girdle, arms and the entire back are worked hard by
this movement. In order to perform the deadlift, stand in front of a
loaded barbell with the feet about shoulder width apart. Squat down
and grasp the bar with a grip of about shoulder width. The grip can
be an overhand grip, or one in which the hand with the strongest
grip faces palm forward, the other hand facing towards you i.e. a
mixed grip. This type of grip usually offers the best stability in
the movement for many individuals. Then, with the hips low, lower
back curved inward and head erect, pull the weight from the floor.
Don't snatch the weight up, as you may risk injury; concentrate on
the image of trying to drive your feet through the floor as you pull
the weight. Remember not to bend your arms during the movement -
keep them straight.
Power Rack Deadlifts The use of
the power rack along in association with your deadlifting efforts
can yield tremendous results in increased strength and muscle size
due to the massive weights that a person can handle in the
partial-range deadlift compared to what they could lift in a
conventional exercise situation. By having the bar set near the
mid-point or near the top of the movement by suspending it on the
pins in the power rack, you can do deadlifts through a short range
of motion, and in a range which allows the use of the heaviest
weights possible. It’s possible to lift 40% more than you would over
a full range, or even more, when doing partials. This translates to
tremendous overload on the muscles, and since its the deadlift
you're doing, then just about every muscle in your body is
stimulated, not just the lower back. I always have to laugh when
people say that deadlifting is a waste of time - the state of their
physiques usually sums it all up i.e. they're shit!! The people who
are not afraid of hard and heavy work on the major exercises like
the squat and deadlift are the ones with the great physiques, not
the ones who 'fill their pants' at the thought of a tough
set.
Pulldowns/Chins The pulldown movement is
performed on a pulley apparatus; you are seated and 'pulldown' a bar
connected to a weight stack from a straight arm position to one in
which the bar touches the upper chest. The weight is then lowered,
fully extending the arms, and feeling the muscles stretch. Most
people are familiar with the chinning movement which uses bodyweight
as resistance, pulling yourself up via a chinning bar until your
chest touches the bar, lower to full extension and repeat. It is
important not to swing the torso in any type of chin/pulldown
movement. People do this to make the exercise easier, which of
course, is very stupid because the muscles you want to exercise are
not being worked as momentum is moving the weight, not the back
muscles. Many people are unable to do more than a few reps of chins
when they first try the exercise. It just takes persistence and
time. When you can do more than ten reps with bodyweight, you can
add further resistance by hanging a dumbbell around your waist using
a dipping belt.
NOTE! It is very important that you wear a good,
tight-fitting lifting belt on all heavy rowing exercises/deadlifts
to help stabilise your lower back.
A good basic back routine
would be:
Barbell rows warm up, then 3x10 to failure (3 sets
of 10 reps to failure) Deadlifts warm up, then 3x10 to
failure Chins/pulldowns warm up, then 3x10 to failure
On
the chins, if you are not too good at them, you could set yourself a
specific number of reps, say 20 or 30, and do as many sets as
required until you have completed that number of reps, but use your
head and don't overdo it. You don't want to overtrain and lose size
and strength. So, there it is, a simple but effective mass
building routine which will put some serious muscle on you if you
work it hard enough. Remember, to progress, its not how long you
spend in the gym (bodybuilding is not endurance/aerobic training),
but how hard, and how smart, you work while you're there.

Buying Supplements
Online
Many people have asked us
"where should we buy supplements from online?" And the truth is we
did not know.
But it became obvious that
we needed to be able to give you an answer. For the last few weeks
we have been looking around at different companies.
We have
considered price, product selection, delivery times and costs,
customer support, product information, ease of site navigation,
payment methods, and more.
(Sorry to non-US subscribers,
but we have only looked so far at US based supplement companies. We
have subscribers from over 30 countries.)
In terms of cost we could
not find any one site that had the best price on everything. And in
any case many stock different brands, so that complicated many
direct comparisions.
The site that most has
impressed us was "peakhealth"... for the
following reasons:-
-
Product
Education There is a whole bunch of articles related to
each product which help you make a better choice. We have found
that many people buy brand names without knowing if they are
really better. Many people spend money they don't know. And hell,
since we published the article about "post workout protein" I have
had 6 emails asking me to explain what is whey protein! Its
simple, the more you know the better decision you
make.
-
Detailed Product
Information You will find a highly detailed breakdown of
each product, highlighting each macro and micro nutrient content.
Also details description, nutritional facts, recommended use
etc.
-
Price Most
people have similar prices. We found these to be very competetive
without being the absolute cheapest. Infact after several hours of
surfing I managed to find most products up to 2 or 3 dollars
cheaper. BUT - beware when ordering for other sites hidden costs,
like shipping etc. Peakhealth has free delivery on orders of over
$100, and a flat rate of $5 for orders under $100. So all in all
they are just about as cheap as anyone. With each product they
detail the recommended retail price together with their discount
price. According to them all products are discounted 20-50% off of
their retail price.
-
Live Online
Help This is great, they have "Live" online help. Just
click on the LivePerson icon and you can chat directly with one of
their staff. And I have to take my hat off to these guys. I gave
them the hardest time you can imagine with the biggest bunch of
dumb questions, and they always answered profesionally. Check it
out for yourself.
-
Web Site Exactly
how I like a site. Professional, clean, easy to navigate, fast
loading and simple. I have no patience (too many hours online),
and despise sites where you need a degree in nuclear physics to be
able to understand how it works, or where the links are. The
shopping cart is one of the easiest I have used. They have phone,
fax, toll free and email details all over the place should you
wish to contact them.
-
Ordering and
paying Once you have opened an account all your details are
stored so the next time you can shop very quickly. They have
products by categories or you can use the search engine they
provide. Orders are processed within 24 hours and you can choose
standard or overnight delivery. Pay by credit card, check or money
order. And they have a full 30 day money back policy on unopened
goods. They also claim "top class" secure server transactions to
keep you details safe.
-
Summary We could
not find another site that offers the same service, very
competetive prices and so much detailed information. We give them
our full recommendation. Click here to go to their site.
