For those of you playing with tren and getting mental sides what did you do? I run tren here and there actually extremelly rarely i never get sides other then night sweats and hard time falling asleep but i still get minimum 5 hours, something new happened last month i got an anxiety attack and just had to leave the house i didnt know what those were and overall i’m a very happy man sociable etc… so i called a friend of mine and felt this intense feeling of despair roam over me i couldnt understand it at all i make a 150 k i have an amazing woman in my life my parents are healthy i feel good look good i have no reason to feel this way and yet. I drove to my mothers house and man i just cried my life away in her arms. I have ran tren at high huge doses in the past multiple times but this time at a low dose of 300 mg it destroyed me. I was thinking of calling my doctor to get a prescription but something changed the minute i added ephedrine to the mix mood shot up i’m back to my old self i have massive energy i workout like a freak now and can push myself so much harder idk it might not be related. I have no history of depression in my family and never have i one day been depressed in my life before this happened… man was that scary not being able to control my feelings, the anxiety.. anyonehave similar stories ? I could never understand people going trough depression… but after feeling it shit it’s scary. Anyone else have similar stories what happened? What did you do?

Hey man,

Your first mistake is thinking tren @300 mg is a low dose.  It is not.  Like it or not, compared to even what you've ran, tren is extremely harsh and sides can occur at any dose.  Your life isn't the same as it was when you were running previous cycles.  You have different variables.  Same lab? Same ester? Physical, mental, job, life, gym, sleep, etc all these little things get compounded together.  Thinks may appear fine externally, but internally they aren't.  You may appear healthy, but inside you're not.  Have you gotten your bloods done before you cycled?  

If you're having this reaction, you need to get off the tren now. You need to reset yourself.  Get back to baseline.  You need to establish what went wrong OBJECTIVELY to qualify your subjective feelings.  You need to figure your shit out mentally - because take it from someone who's done a lot of psychotherapy, there's lots of things going on in your head you may not be aware of.

These are just suggestions - you're free to choose what to do, but if something like this has happened, it's going to happen again, and again, and it's going to get worse.

Tren is a beast that must be respected. You can not tame it, just work within its' rules.

first order placed yesterday very easy quick response I can't wait to test the product it's not a scam

I've used body tech for 10 years

They put me through 3 shows

Check the members pics section for my recent competition pics and look at my results - hard training, good eating, but the super supps really made the icing on the cake (my preferred is cheesecake!)

This was day after the show. Definitely shredded beyond shreds.

And I’m seeing dosage also quite varied. 
But since this isn’t an artificial growth and you can’t just “add more” and it (if I’m understanding it correctly) is something that allows you to produce your own GH again. What role does dose play? 
I assume your natural level that can be drawn from your body would have a cap? i e you can only take so much before your just wasting MK 677 for no extra result. 
But again, I could be interpreting this wrong as well. 

25 mg of mk677 have shown significant improvement in GH and IGF-1 release, and has been used for decades, long term.  Of course there's always a max dose amt but 25 mg seems to be the good sweet spot.  Can be taken orally.  Doesn't seem to have much for side effects.

Something like ipamorelin and cjc1295 work on increase the immediate pulsatile and duration of GH release from the pituitary.  The end game you get more GH release but through different mechanisms.  Must be taken sub-q though.

I think MK is probably a better long duration bang for your buck.

Ladies and gents we are at peak week! 

I'm as shredded as I'm going to ever be. Now it's just hold this!

No issue, take it as long as you want

There are some longitudinal studies showing old lady populations > 2 years taking it without issues.  Because it's not an exogenous source and it encourages release of the pulses, it has no (current) long term effects.

10 days out. There is also 10 years between these two photos. The photo on the right is when I moved to Owen Sound, Ontario. The photo on the left is this morning absolutely bone dry shredded at 197.4 lb ready to step on the stage and take the win. There was a lot to unpack here, and it's not even show day. 10 years of consistency, training, ups and downs, but staying on the course for health and fitness. This is a long game and more than just for vanity's sake, although for many of us I'm sure that's exactly why we get into it, I know it definitely was for me. But over the years I've developed an ups and passion for training, for living a healthy positive lifestyle, and projecting that to everyone around me (for better or worse lol). To be in this shape is not exactly the healthiest, as it's not my body's natural balance, but is a competitive sport and requires the most extreme dedication and focus to achieve the goals. If you aren't suffering, you weren't doing it right. But to see a decades worth of transformation, epitomized by what I see here validates the struggles and successes. And if anyone wishes to start, the guidance, please ask and I'll do the best I can to help.

#10yearchallenge #10daysout

It'll be entertaining to say the least. Everyone is frothing at how Tyson is going to be. Nostalgia and the "old man strength" is what's going to bring all the boomers in while the tik too club is going to see Paul do his thing, whatever that is. 

None the less, you're never going to see Tyson throw a fight. 

Update this morning!

198.2 lbs

Just finished fasted cardio 

Shredded AF

3.5 weeks left

I plan on winning 

Dropped test to 500

600 Masteron

400 primo

50 mg tren ace EOD

50 mg winny

50 mcg clen just started

25 mcg t3 as a little boost and likely up to 35 mcg end of week

This shows you that drugs are not always the answer. You need to CRUSH it in the gym. Do your training, eat your food, and let it play out. 

Obvious 'easy' money and publicity for both of them. Jake knows tyson's going to go nuts, and i'm sure tyson's camp is equally telling him to not knock his head off.  There's NO way tyson is going to throw the fight like a previous fighter did.

Honestly? I think it's still good for the sport.  Like him or not, Jake Paul has really put boxing back into the mainstream view in a field full of MMA.

Good morning everyone. 

4 and 1/2 weeks to go. Fasted weight 199.6 lb.

This was yesterday morning doing a good push day. 4iu insulin pre workout with 80 g of carbs does you good. 

People of Northern lifters!!

Let's get talking about anything! 

Open discussion, talk about the American election, the comedy, what you've done this past weekend, what your spring plans are (any travel??).

We need to see more action and activity! Let's do this!!

I run my tren at 400mg when I run it , But the other side of it I should not be allowed around any other humans. I love the results but I’m really hard to tolerate when I’m on that much. It does absolutely change my personality. 

I'm pretty good on it. I typically use 400 but my coach doesn't want all that much gear in me and honestly doesn't think it's going to make that big of a difference in the final push with the other compounds. Just gotta check yourself bro. 

Today, I'm sitting at 202 after a solid refeed. I'm sitting extremely close to where I need to be. I still have 6 weeks to go. It's just a matter of staying fresh, injury free, and slowly start pulling water away and sharpen up some more. I'm dry, vascular, and pretty full. 

Current gear protocol:

Gear 6 weeks out: 

NPP out and done 

800 mg/week test e

600 mg/week mast e

400 mg/week primo

200 mg/week tren ace 

50 mg winstrol daily

2.5 iu GH before bed and am. We're just starting this to see how my body responds to fullness and if I pull too much water. 

Insulin 4 iu pre/post workout only on shoulder and arm days to trial if I can get them a little bigger and fuller. 

As we get closer we'll lower dosages, bring in AI. 

Halo and t3 pending

Photos are 5:45 am direct out of bed.

Hey man

No disrespect noted. All these photos are at my worst, flat, depleted. Done this on purpose. 5:30 am shots hah. 

All my old photos you see me in I'm full, carbed up, gym lighting. Loads of gear.

I can 100% assure you my diet is great, and the gear has been doing everything I've needed it to. 

My shape and conditioning are far bigger than my last two shows...like by a far margin.

Please also keep in mind I am a very tall man. I don't have the greatest genetics. I am not doing open bodybuilding because I just don't have an additional 50 lbs on my frame. This is where classic and men's physique are better suited for me. 

Appreciate the comments

Now the money shots

Shots are m/w/f fasted right when I get up after bathroom and weigh in for check ins, looking my very worst lol

This was today, February 28. 5:30 am before my 45 cardio. PLUS I included a first day shot. I am also doing posing work with Fedel Clark, IFBB pro. 

Try guessing my bf %

Meals are included in two photos, separated with training day (today) and off day.

This is the last major change to my diet.  It's low. But I'm still doing ok. Lots of coffee and pre-workout. But this is necessary. 

Refeed days happen on avg every ten days when I'm so completely drained and flat, acting like a zombie. I get about 400 g of carbs that day and I feel MUCH better and stronger for training. 

For those wondering, breakfast is a nice oatmeal protein pancake

Currently training is a 5 day split. I am doing ONLY 45 mins cardio fasted in mornings. No 2 hour a day bullshit. This is why I started dieting early so I could avoid that nonsense. 

Shoulders 

Pull

Push

Legs

Arms

Then repeat but instead of shoulders 1 it's now shoulders 2 with different exercises

Today is shoulders 1 which exercises will be:

Smith Machine Press 1x7-10,11-15

Seated Barbell Shoulder Press 1x7-10 1X11-15

Dumbbell Lateral Raises 3x10-15

Dumbbell Lying Rear Delt Flyes 2x15-20

Dumbbell Front Raises 2x10-15

Reverse Pec Dec or Cable Rear delt Flyes 2x10-15

Straight Leg Calves 3x10-15

All training employs a 2-3 second negative, pause at full stretch, then hard contract top with an good squeeze. Failure happens often using lots of safeties to squeeze even half reps into negatives. I can't emphasise enough how game changing this training is for overall training and injury prevention. You HAVE to go lighter, you have to check ego, but you will actually get much stronger overall and your muscular development will improve drastically.

It's hard now so deep into prep to maintaining my strength but I'm managing well. There are a few more reps in reserve and some reps I gotta go a little faster on but I'm keeping load consistent and I haven't lost any huge strength which is paramount to keeping my mass.

Next diet
