Happy Halloween, friends.

Halloween has always been one of my two favorite holidays (the other being Christmas).

Speaking of Halloween, there’s a funny thing happening in the medical world.

If you’re born a male but born in the wrong body (what used to be called a transvestite, now a transsexual or transgender), hormones are the perfect answer for you.

If you’re born a male in a man’s body, then natural hormones like testosterone are evil. Funny world.

But rules were made to be broken, and rules made by weirdos aren’t rules that need to be followed.

This month Superdrive Publishing released an outlaw book about steroids.

Due to overwhelming demand for knowledge about hormones…

John Doe Bodybuilding has written the go-to book on the subject.

A lot of folks don’t want to hear about that stuff, but then again a lot of folks do.

So for those interested and receptive, the book is available (and comprehensive).

Written by a 10 year veteran of the bodybuilding game, Straight From the Underground answers most if not all of the questions you might have about the underground bodybuilding world.

You can pick up Straight From the Underground here (just don’t tell mommy you bought a naughty book).
