Hears my power rackall i use is bands

I've been using a lot of bands in the last month as well

Anyone with a home gym or just an opinion - why would you opt for a power rack over a squat stand?

Reading online you always hear a rack is more versatile because you have four posts. But outside of crazy heavy rack pulls which I don't really do I can't see the benefit?

You can put a bench on either for bench, shoulder press, etc. Both can squat, deadlift doesn't need either. You can use the safety bars on a squat rack to do shrugs, or lighter rack pulls...

Obviously if you had all the space and money, why not but if you're trying to conserve space and don't want to spend unnecessary money why do for the power rack?

Wasn't sure where to post this but figured there is always interest in this type of info. Doesn't look like a lab, probably a reseller or someone stocking up. Can't make out the lab, not sure if anyone recognizes it.

I have an old standard ez bar and adjustable DBs with weight up to 270ish so I'm able to do quite a bit. No rack so it's not like I can load it all on for squats. But I also have a few bands, kettlebells and some heavy chains from my powerlifting days so I've been making up a lot of exercises.

I'd recommend people buy some bands if you can find them online. You can do almost anything with them.

I'm seeing people post online complaining that places like GoodLife haven't closed down. I don't understand this behaviour. Take care of yourself, if you think it's too much risk don't go. If you do go, be smart. Wash your hands before and after. Wipe down your shit. Don't touch your mouth.

Anyone worried about gym closures with covid 19? Ontario schools are now closed and I know that's public but a lot of private businesses are looking at work from home and other options

I attended this year, I was shocked Dexter placed so high..I had Ramy and Kuclo ahead of him.

I will admit that it's only been in the last year or so I learnt how to work my legs properly. I use to squat way too heavy. I could squat 600lb but didn't look like it.

I now split my legs so I have two leg days a week. On my quads I'm so 3-5 sets and 15-25 reps. I only do squats, hack squats and leg press now, nothing else. My legs have seen more improvement in the last 12 months than probably 6 years prior.

E2 is not sky high but the real problem is I START getting soft mid way , I have good sex drive , can get erection but can't maintain it,  I forgot to put it in the topic 

But I'm still not getting it. Did you post the wrong numbers up? I'm not saying your levels aren't sky high, they aren't high. They are completely normal, to be honest they are on the lower side 500mg+ running.

If you are getting soft, it's your diet. Low estrogen causes ED, high estrogen as long as your test is high actually can benefit your sexual health.

I'm not understanding your E2 is normal. Given you are on aromatizing drugs and it's still normal you should be happy.

Well people say that, I thought so too, but the moment I stopped creatine, I didn't bloat as badly... I try to minimize my salt intake and to control it... can't be that all the anectodal evidence of ppl using creatine that there is no bloat...

I know that creatine in theory should help with muscle growth and genetic expression as per studies... and I know that i always recovered better, it wasnt even just the extra endurance or strength and size that was nice.. but the bloat in mid section especially sucked...

Why are you limiting salt? You should be increasing water to control bloat. Limiting salt to prevent bloat has been known to be relatively ineffective for a very long time. If you up your water intake do you still bloat? If you're actually bloated and not fat and it doesn't drop with proper hydration that is not normal and would be a medical concern to me. How much water do you drink consistently? Like what is the minimum you'll drink in a day over a two week period?

I start to feel all orals towards the end of the second week, maybe day 11. Pretty much the same for all doses, just depends how much you're feeling.

All creatine does is saturate the muscles. The goal is intramuscular, actually intracellular, bloat.

If you are bloating fat, it's not creatine. It's either your diet or simply in your head.

Winstrol competes with tren for my favorite secondary AAS. The results are the same with oral and inject. The inject is a real pain, having to shoot every day. Oral wins everytime.

The best cycle would be one with focus. Either size or cutting. Not both. The drugs really don't impact it much, it's all diet. You can cut on test deca and dbol and you can bulk on test mast and tren.

Drink a ton of water and make sure you're salting your food

I may be mistaken, but was this company not selling fake or under dosed raws?  Just wondering if you had any problems with them as my info may be really outdated and completely wrong. 

Correct. Its an "illegal distribution ban" which was always there, but now they are just beefing it up (pun intended) to look good ahead of the Olympics.  All government and licensed manufactures are still operating. Same as any country. 

And you know the PRC has some special projects for their Athletes lol. 

This is spot on, obviously some supply will fall off, but the mass of licensed suppliers are still in business. However I'm not hoping any misinformation floating around is just ignorance and not malicious to inflate prices further than they need to be. Kind of like when oil went up and the government saw the gas prices increase so they threw additional taxes on it so we would just associate it with the barrel cost.

   Shenzhen Shijingu Technology Co was licensed. It's a country wide ban. The only people up and running are bootleg companies. It's  not a gamble im willing to take.

It's not a country wide ban. You can literally go to government websites hit translate and read word for word what it is. Do you think the Chinese versions of Pfizer and Merck just shut down Jan 1? Where are Chinese pharmacies getting their products to fill prescriptions? You think they are importing from the USA lol? Part of the same legislation was to promote the innovation of these Chinese companies to invent new drugs how are they doing that if there is a country wide ban on hormones? China has like 3 human trials going right now for hormonal male birth control - 2 with steroids and 1 with a sarm. Are they abandoning this research?

My source was licensed and they're shut down completely. I'm guessing India or other posts of Europe are all there is. I really don't want too start over and chase down a reliable source. Lol

They were not licensed if they were shut down.

from my personal sources in china,there have been over 30 arrests already. All major companies are Underground,some companies who have stock are selling raws at an inflated price. There are already labs on PM that have gone under because they are out of stock

@Blitz  all these raw companies are distributors,distribution is dead and not permitted any longer. SO even if raws are being produced by a legal lmanufacturer(there are 3 certified manufacturers),raws wont come out because distribution doesnt exist,or possibly some does exist but underground.

ill keep on updated but you can go on the big boards and you can see how many are gone for now

Sorry, could you share where you got 3 certified manufacturers in China? There are more than 3 (dozens) state owned pharmaceutical compounding companies that produce hormones alone, not even taking into account the private companies in China or Hong Kong.

I know some UGLs have already made some adjustments but as I said before, if your supplier was legitimate this shouldn't impact your raws. Getting a license to produce AAS legally in China is ready, it just takes money. This is the same as all the body rub shit in Ontario. Body rubs are legal, you pay like $10,000 a year for a license. However a homeopathic massage license is like $275. If you give body rubs with the wrong license it's against the law.

I just used Maple as well, super convenient. Paid the $50 took the req to the lab and my results were uploaded a few days later.

I would taper down for 4-5 weeks, as I tapered down to 50mg on the final week, I would use HCG at 1000iu e3d. One week after my final shot I would start nolvadex at 20mg a day for 8 weeks.

So my results were added to the app without issue. Results came in good for anyone curious. This was super simple and I'll be doing it again in 6 months

how confident are you that the source was realiable?and product is authentic?reason i ask because there are many positive reviews out there aswell

sometimes raw and item production makes a big difference

thank you for your honest opinion and update

I've been using the same source who came through this community for years without issue, he's never steered me wrong. I'm also coming up to 12 years using PEDs so I'm pretty tuned into how I respond.
