Great idea man there is so much shitty information out there it would be great for newbies right up to vets to get some quality information.

Thanks guys!

The first few are basically just going to document my show, what I ate, my mindset and other thoughts that pop into my head LOL

I appreciate the support

Every time I check this thread man you're looking better and better

Hey guys,

So recently I've been dabbling with the idea of creating content for YouTube. I started a channel years ago that was just a few videos of lifts - but now I think I'm going to expand more into some of my principles, training sessions and contest prep/offseason updates and discussion. 

I plan to film some content at the show I'm competing in this weekend, hopefully can put that together and get it up very soon!

Here's the link in case anyone wants to check it out  Also, subscriptions are always welcome lol

Howdy folks.

New to forums. Moved to Canada from Ireland almost 2 years ago. Been lifting for 4 years made some good results but got a bit out of hand bulking. More so looking for advice and tips and maybe even a training partner in SK

Welcome to Canada my friend  

Stay away from that bulking life - just making it harder on the other end!

Hey all, first thing I read was your insulin post, loved it. I have used Purple Panda for years and when I saw they recommended this forum I had to check it out.

I am 190 and change, 5'10, and a slight outline of abs probably meaning I have another 4 months to throw on some muscle and get stronger. Im top heavy and focusing on legs so next thing I will check out any post on building some bigger wheels. 

 

Welcome brother.

I'm not trying to be rude here... but I fail to understand why you're looking to jump into steroids? Lack of motivation? While steroids can help make things slightly more exciting, without motivation coming from yourself you'll be short changed. 

Next thing to understand are the side effects associated with a DHT based drug. Have you looked these up at all? What about liver toxicity?

Are you concerned at all with the suppression of your natural testosterone? HRT or PCT lined up? 

If you haven't learnt the basics of AAS I'd suggest doing some reading before jumping in my friend.

Whey, Oats, Banana, Peanut Butter, Whole Milk, Salt

Gotta get that squat / bench bloat going

Whole milk eh?? Interesting choice lol

So officially 6 days out from the show,

Not going to be overly specific as its pretty simple. But here is my plan running into the show. 

I have increased my sodium a little over a week ago... however I almost always have a decent amount, I don't count the amount as I've never found the need to be THAT precise. 

I will maintain my water intake going into Friday - the reason I don't load it is that I don't need to, its already going to be high enough. My typical is around 2 gallon per day.

I will drop to ZERO carbs starting tomorrow, with a few additions of some fats to help maintain caloric intake to further deplete. 

Then we get ready for game day :)

What's up everyone!

I'm excited to see a new lifting forum take off again after many others have disappeared.  I've been lifting since I was a teenager, I homebrew massive amounts of gear for personal use but I don't mess with GH and slin just yet, I'm still comfortable with the gains I achieve with test/nand/adrol.  I used to train for strength, but training began to feel like a grind so I've changed it up to sloppy mass training with little regard for aesthetics, I'll worry about symmetry after I've achieved my goal of 250lbs lean.  I expect this to take 1-2 years to achieve, as I'm currently 235 with bloated abs but I'll need to be 270-280 to cut down to 250 and be nice and lean.

Looking forward to being a part of this new community,

No need to pin long esters eod.    Would it keep levels more stable, yes in theory.   In application you'll probably never tell the difference.  I know I cant tell the difference between eod or twice a week on long esters.   I know I'd rather pin less and avoid that extra scar tissue if I can.

This thread is a classic case of over thinking things.   We all agree that nutrition training and rest are the most important factors in growing but we all obsess and over think the drugs.  

But just to be a prick,  here's some food for thoughts,  have you ever considered the ester weight when planning your cycle?   100mg of test e isnt 100mg of pure test,  the enanthate ester accounts for 30% of that weight so you're only getting 70mg's of test from that 100mg of test e.   

If you cant sleep tonight rethinking all your doses you are welcome.   But that's not my point.   

I agree, theres really no difference in pinning long esters, eod/ed or every 4-5 days. BUT that being said, someone stated as well in this thread that when it comes to the volume of the shot (total dose) I may be more likely to pin EOD then twice a week. As I'd rather pin less volume for better absorbtion then pounding 3mls everywhere.

Also, interesting point you brought up about ester weight... but to be honest I wouldn't put THAT much thought into it, as lets compare say test prop and test enth... you're looking at an 80% yield vs a 70% yield so I think that the difference is pretty minimal. Since the dose is typically 2.5 to 4x that of prop (per ml) the long ester would usually be a better choice. Now if we're discussing an acetate vs enth ester... maybe thats where my opinion would switch.

I've been lifting for years.  In my early 40's - thinking it might be time to try some HGH for recovery - injuries are always an issue.  I've been home brewing for years and this is a lifestyle for me.

I don't run large amounts and I'm not pushing any serious weight to avoid injury - 198 lbs 5'6" - body fat is high 16% because I've been bulking for a period of time.

Also, Trestolone low dose 30mg per day, NPP 700mg per week, 400mg test c, and 100mg drol ensures that I stay a wet looking.  Glad to be here.

Welcome  brother

I really like to stick to easy to digest foods... rice crispy squares, greek yogurt, protein powders, white rice, etc... 

Nothing is really set in stone.

Seems pretty standard. I'm on test / eq for my growing phase right now and things are going good. Might throw in an oral at the end for 4 weeks. Thinking dbol as I havent tried it yet. 

I use to be big into higher estrogenic compounds - I enjoyed the added strength, and all around being a bigger guy. 

But my mindset has changed over time. I much prefer the look and feeling I get from running things such as Primo/Mast/EQ - orals I really only use in plateau situations and I'll tend to go more of the oral Tren/superdrol/anadrol type of route.  I like things simple in the offseason as I believe if you're healthy, food is in the correct amount, anabolics are present.. you'll grow - then go harsher into contest prep.

As far as I know - yes

Just as title states...im curious how much test you gentleman would use if paired with 400mg masteron enanthate weekly + 450mg EQ weekly to start.

I was thinking 350mg/week, 525mg/week or even 700mg/week to start.  

Then after the 1st 4 weeks I'll adjust one or two of the dosages based on my results.

I suppose it depends if you believe in the old style cycles which rely on test and run secondary compounds. Or the newer style of thinking seems to be keeping test low-moderate and focusing on other more anabolic compounds.  Which is what im leaning towards.

 

Goals-

Keep sides as low as possible and get lean gains while dropping bodyfat.  I understand it sounds very noob-ish to want to add all lean muscle while dropping fat and zero sides but ive done it last year for many months while using test + mast at various doses. Now I'm adding EQ to the mix in hopes of allowing more lean tissue gains.

I'm coming off of being wayyy fat (6'4 406lbs) and dropped to 299.9lbs in just under a year and have rebounded a tad since. And sitting at 308-310 currently.

 

Planning to drop to 280lbs with this cycle... or less if my body wants to go lower.  Cycle will be 30 weeks long providing bloodwork allows so that's really only about 1lb per week loss.

What would u guys do?

Thanks

When I add in EQ I usually lower my test dose (almost think like a trt with an addition of primo). So personally I’d look at 300-500 range based off what you were doing prior.

What are you running at the moment to aid in growing again after some time off due to the nerve. 

At the moment I'm running pretty standard fair for pre contest:
Tren Ace
Mast Prop
Proviron
Halo
Winstrol

However, offseason wise - while I do tend to change things up quite bit, generally I like to stick to:
Test
Deca/EQ... maybe sometimes primo/tren
Orals at certain points depending on what I'm trying to accomplish

Thanks Corey for nipping this in the bud. I have hidden a few of the filthier posts but I see you have it quoted - this I think is publicly viewable. It's the c**k word...not a prude, just looks crass snd has no place being viewable

 

Fixed lol

now hopefully this discussion can get back on track!

lol, Im very grateful method started this pissing contest, Comparing physiques with him made my week.

plus, I’ve had more lolls than I’ve had in ages doing so. I’m done with method_air. 

I'm sorry I fail to realize what this has to do with DHB? 

This place is a community and I expect members to treat each other in a respectful way. So enough of this shit - if this doesn't concern DHB it doesn't belong.

Hello everyone!

Just found out about this forum, and excited to be here! Been lifting for almost 15 years now, always happy to meet others and learn new material. Looking forward to being a member here. 

 

Welcome brother

Just to update the log with a progress picture, this was taken about a week and a half ago - I don't take progress pictures too often as I never make time to do it lol Weight is currently sitting low 220's.

Hey Everyone, long time no update LOL

So life has been crazy busy but no complaints. To followup from what I had been dealing with in terms of the nerve issue. I had gone to see a neurologist and he conducted an EMG - anyone who hasn't had one of these amazing tests done, they basically stab you repeatedly with a needle and tell you to contract the muscle... lots of fun lol

So basically I had a compressed nerve, lost about twenty pounds - had significant atrophy on my left side (arm, chest, lat, etc..) and a mild case of depression set in. BUT over time I had regained some strength and was able to start training effectively once again (granted even now, I still have to pay TONS of attention to what I'm doing or certain muscles wont fire to their full capability). 

I had gained some more weight and gotten back up to 245ish (maybe 250 at some point), and then kind of hit a wall. I decided to bring my weight down just to see where I'm at and challenge myself. After watching a couple of shows, and looking at my conditioning I've decided to jump into one. So  currently under two weeks out - and it should be a fun time

The wife wants to try hgh. For its anti aging effects and overall better feeling..

Works out regularly but

Not into body building or anything...

 

Wondering a good dosage for her to start experimenting??

 

I'd start low, 1 to 2 units per day... preferably 1. If she's just going for the anti aging benefits, no more should be needed.

So I gave this a lot of thought in the past but never went ahead with it.

I used to have her on the same dose of ghrp and mod-grf as myself and sometimes on clen and she was a beast... but i never gave her var. I haven't let her do any of this in a long time and I myself havent been running ghrp and mod grf due to funds.

I figured 10mg var would be killer for her.

Question is how will it really affect her? Is it badly virilizing? I figured if she is on for 2 months, she can lean out and put on some mass while eating less.. but i dont want her turning manly haha... improve her recovery especially and give her energy which is her issue with work and lack of sleep.

First, I'd recommend getting HER to do her OWN research. While yes its not uncommon for women to dabble with steroids, it does present risks and she should be aware of them. 

Second, you never mentioned she wanted to - only whether you should give it to her? I say if she wants to let her run it, start small - see what she thinks and go from there. If shes never run anavar before, jumping to 10mg is a stupid idea. 

Third, and I push this moreso with women - make sure everything is optimal before introducing hormones. MOST times, there is a lack of nutrition, training or normal aspects of recovery - which could make significant changes without the potential downsides of introducing hormones. Anavar is NOT a shortcut, it is a tool that should be used at the right time. You already mentioned lack of sleep - just getting enough sleep will make a HUGE difference.
