The Layman's Guide to Steroids, Mick Hart's guide designed

provide instructions on healthy ways to use steroids and

performance enhancing drugs, shines some positive light on the

controversial subject of steroid use. In an age where sporting

events are constantly being rocked by scandals and allegations of

foul play, this book is a welcome change of pace. Mick Hart has the

facts and experience to back up the claims his book makes along

with plenty of attitude to boot. He is even willing to subject his

own son to the methods in The Layman's Guide to Steroids to prove

that he stands behind his product 100 percent.

Mick Hart, the author of The Layman's Guide to Steroids, is a

world champion bodybuilding trainer from the UK who has worked in

the business for more than 25 years. He is responsible for 80 first

place finishes in some of the best known competitions in the world.

He has been interviewed on BBC and other British television

channels and is a regular contributor for bodybuilding magazines

around the world and he writes and publishes his own magazine

entitled "No Bull Collection." Given his impressive background and

years in the bodybuilding world, readers can be sure that what Mick

Hart writes about steroids is both honest and reliable.

Mick Hart challenges negative stereotypes attached to steroid

abuse, including a host of health complications. He does not deny

that these side effects exist, but rather explains how they are a

result of steroid abuse and not simply steroid use and that these

medical complications can be easily avoided if readers stick to his

simple routine.

Mick Hart blames the media for negative portrayals of steroid

use and criticizes them for only focusing on cases of steroid

abuse. It is easy to see why the idea of a guide on steroid use

would be a bit unsettling for some. Numerous reports of athletes

testing positive at Olympic events, disqualifications year after

year handed out at the Tour de France, and public suspicion of high

profile athletes such as Barry Bonds taking performance enhancing

drugs in Major League Baseball have all led to the negative

portrayal that Hart speaks of.

The Layman's Guide to Steroids makes the process of taking

steroids simpler by focusing more on the practical aspects, such as

choosing a steroid, proper administration, and close monitoring of

diet and exercise routines, and less on technical medical

information like chemical interaction in the body and other

biological data.

To demonstrate the effectiveness of his steroid taking

routine and to prove that it can be done in an intelligent and safe

manner, Mick Hart had his own 23 year old son, Chris, participate

in The Layman's Guide to Steroids program. According to Hart, after

only 11 months of taking steroids and training his son had gained

significant muscle mass and was even able to qualify for a

bodybuilding competition afterward.

With its simple instructions, "no bull" attitude, and easy to

grasp explanations, Mick Hart's The Layman's Guide to Steroids is a

very useful workout book. It attacks many of the negative

stereotypes attached to steroid use and gives readers a no

nonsense, detailed guide for bodybuilders who want to maximize

their workouts using steroids effectively and wisely.

In order to prove the effectiveness of the techniques

featured in his new book The Layman's Guide to Steroids, Mick Hart

used his own flesh and blood, 23 year old son as a sort of "guinea

pig." Mick's son, Chris, followed a strict schedule and routine

that was by the book.

The Layman's Guide to Steroids is an instructional book with

the purpose of informing bodybuilders how the proper use of

steroids can be both highly beneficial and safe. Its step by step

instructions demonstrate how steroid use, when done in combination

with intense exercise and nutrition, can greatly enhance and speed

up the muscle growth. These instructions are organized in a manner

to realize the full potential of steroid use and to prevent any

harmful side effects. The idea is that if it will work for Mick

Hart's son, it is sure to work for you.

Chris Hart decided he wanted to prepare for a bodybuilding

contest one year in the future. In order to make this possible,

Chris sought help from his bodybuilding trainer father. From there

the training began.

The first couple of months included a period focused

primarily on building mass and also included lots of exercise. This

first period started off as a routine of three days of exercise and

four days of rest, but by the time three months had passed, Chris

began to work three days in a row with only one day of rest in

between. Steps were also taken to keep his metabolism high. For the

first six months, Chris's diet was very strict. It included the

usual breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but portions were rationed and

supplements were added.

Steroid use began immediately and during the first six

months. This was kept to a minimum though and used mainly as a

supplement to the physical training process. Two simple low dose

cycles were used at this time. After the first six months, more

steroids were used and given to test their effectiveness on Chris.

Three months before the competition, Chris had acquired a

great deal of mass and focused on creating muscle definition. At

this time Chris's body fat index began to decrease significantly.

Six weeks before the show, Chris's bodyweight was at 196 pounds

which was considered too much to compete, so he aimed to lose 20

pounds while managing not to lose any muscle. This time was known

as the "fine tuning" period.

Closer to the competition, Mick began giving his son small

amounts of growth hormone and a new steroid cycle was administered,

also done in small doses and quite effective. By the time the day

of the competition arrived, Chris was in great shape and ready to

compete. At the end of the day, Chris had qualified for the British

Championship. This was made possible simply by following the

instructions outline in The Layman's Guide to Steroids.
