Welcome brother - always happy to see another competitor!

Look at your water intake/mineral intake/carb intake etc... perhaps (and only if) you’re able to get blood work watch your estrogen and add a small dose of an AI. I will say this however, if your overall goal is fat loss - don’t stress about a slight film of water retention. Water retention does not affect your ability to lose body fat.

Your post kind of missed my point. Dorian is one example - and if anything shows my point of people who will need less than most. Now for example I can list the cycle of one he trains - who’s made exceptional progress and it would make most peoples head spin. Nothing in bodybuilding can be be set in stone and drug doses are another example. Just to show people an example of someone who has used huge doses in the past and now preaches more moderate is Jordan Peters. Way way back you could find those doses he used to get close to 300lbs and they weren’t for the faint of heart. Now should anyone just simply jump into huge doses, no. But at some point the drugs will need to increase as progress is as made and plateaus are hit. Just to use another example: would you expect to be gaining more and more muscle using the same weights you used one, two or three years ago? Or would you be gradually adding load and increasing stimulus. People do not need to get caught up with what others use because that is really irrelevant when it comes down to it at the end of the day. People need to pay attention to their own individual response and progress as needed. I don’t consider any dose too small or too big, do what works for you.

But see that’s the thing everyone needs to work to your own individual threshold.

Not that I’m a pro or would even consider myself close to that level. BUT I have run doses like that - and frankly even a little higher. And some guys I’ve had great conversations with like al durrah and Dorian Hamilton will even tell you doses like that are not uncommon for people looking to push the envelope (some of those are moderate - id even argue, you’ll see much higher in the competition scene). Something though I think that people don’t necessarily realize though is that just because this person is using 500-750mg Test now and sits at 280 doesn’t mean that’s what he used to get there. My cruise dose is 300mg of Test and I sit at a decently lean 250lbs but let’s not forget that I’ve pushed for higher doses to achieve that. Now im not advocating such doses and I’m certainly not saying that it’s needed. But do you really think most people will admit to crazy doses? I doubt it. But they may (and more than likely) respond greatly to androgens - it happens, that’s why they’re the best. You can’t fit everyone in the same box and say well you need 500mg of Test and no more. Some may grow like weeds and other to get the same progression may need 1,200+ just the way it is. And in regards to the health component... I’d actually say the vast majority of people who use, regardless of dose are ignorant to their health. Out of sight out of mind. And that’s the worst thing you can do.

Welcome! great to see more from NB!

Not everyone reacts the same, and most of us take precautionary measures to ensure we don’t experience drastic side effects. i can also tell you from personal experience those doctors do exist... because I have one like that.

You can always get them to order it. I’ve had them order that, BAC water all sorts of weird stuff

Any shoppers drug mart in town lol

I've taken off roughly a week and a half (within that month). Which hasn't helped. Diet probably should change to accommodate my lack of intensity - but it hasn't, pure laziness. This has taken quite the mental toll on me honestly. Yes, I was cruising on 300mg of sust a week. So my plan from here, is to work on strengthening my serratus anterior and working on flexibility within my pec minor. I went to the gym yesterday and weirdly enough noticed a slight (I'll call it tenderness - not pain or tingling) odd feeling in the top portion of my pec (close to my front delt - aka the pec minor) and then another odd feeling down on the inside of my elbow during cable flys. Perhaps its a pec minor injury causing anterior tilt? No idea... I'm starting to grasp for anything LOL But anyway, I'm essentially going to start from 0. All unilateral movements and as light as I have to go. I've been doing lots of research and evaluating studies about things that may help - again grasping at straws...but what the hell, it cant really get a whole lot worse. So I'll be introducing: Thymosin Beta 4 BPC-157 HGH Nandrolone Decanoate (because of this addition I will also be bumping my sust dose to 500mg/week) Nandrolone Phenylpropionate (at a later stage) High Dose of EPA/DHA Creatine Monohydrate At the end of the day, this is more of an experiment to see if I can save myself from more muscle atrophy and perhaps regain some contractile ability. Not expecting any miracles (unless its something stupid that isn't as serious) but its better than doing shit all for the next 8 months to a year or possibly even longer.

Hey guys, long time no update... thats because offseasons are boring LOL so anyways, this post is going to take this log in a different direction. Originally I was planning to start my next blast early March run until May then begin a very long slow prep into TO for the pro qualifier. Well... on February 20th I noticed a HUGE loss of strength, lwent from incline benching 455lbs for a solid 7 reps to struggling with 225lbs for only a couple, seemingly overnight (with NO trauma to speak of). Proceeded to ditch the chest exercises, thinking maybe I tweaked something. Went on to shoulder pressing (change the rep scheme to something light for more reps) and noticed massive compensation on one side of my body. SO gave up on that workout. Fast forward to now - in short I've lost the ability to contract my lat altogether and my chest is maybe at 40%. I thought perhaps this is nerve related, but I don't have the major symptoms like paresthesia or pain, if I didn't train I wouldn't know there was anything wrong. I''ve been to see two chiropractors, a massage therapist, two physiotherapists, and had two appointments with my doctor - no one has any answer for me of what could be the issue. Physiotherapists have been the best so far but at the end of the latest session he shrugged his shoulder and told me hes not sure if its the muscle or the nerve and which is causing the issue. So today I was told that I'd be referred to a different physician... and the wait time could be months. I'm not overly sure where to go from here, I already have a slight imbalance of my left side being a bit smaller, and now with the loss of ability to my left side - its only going to get worse. I do plan to run some Gh at a low dose as well as BPC-157/TB500. Throwing nothing short of everything at this. But yea so that is where this stands, frustrating to say the least.

Personally I prefer dbol for actual tissue as I can eat more, great strength increase doesn’t destroy my lipids. I lose my appetite and tend to feel pretty shitty all around on higher doses of anadrol.

Moved to the correct spot - you may get more replies here. I wouldn't, I don't really believe in tapering down in dosage. You're simply delaying you're coming off cycle, receptors will be saturated - not to say you can't make progression but I would hit it hard then come off.

Well first I don’t consider peptides and AAS the same and second using your own argument “more insulin is not necessarily better because of the primary effect of hypoglycemia” I think you’d find diminishing returns on both options - aka the ceiling you speak of, but that’s not to say it’s not 5% better than the other dose. If adequate carbohydrates were consumed you would negate the primary effect you speak of. From someone who has experimented with 150iu of insulin in a day with less than 1,500g of carbs, I didn’t go hypo. Now keep in mind it was over a day and two types were used. have you used insulin before? Because even most experienced users will tell you 10g of carbohydrates is really not needed. Depending on the individual you may need as little as 4-5g per iu. And frankly from someone who has used nearly both options you present I notice more health related side effects and overall LACK of performance from high doses AAS than peptides.

How would insulin have an upper limit if sufficient glucose were present? Thus negating hypoglycemia. and wouldn’t that be an undesirable side effect as you mention along with AAS and HGH?

Flows easily through a 31

Does everything it’s supposed to do! Keep in mind I also use insulin pins as well - and zero issues at all.

Yes sir - I've been cruising with it for a little over a month now.

Personally I use to fall into the category of PM because I had to have “x” amount of meals prior to training. Now I’ll train whatever time I can - just move my pre and post workout meal. theres actually a study that compared groups in the AM and PM, I’ll have a search for it. They found no statistical difference in strength or recovering ability between either time.

Check out the general information section in regards to titles and also the announcement portion as well. Good info to know so you can understand how the board works! Like I said brother, get that post count up and actively participate on the board and I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for.

Welcome to the board my friend - I would like to reiterate what @ElectricRocker said, and more importantly suggest participating in the great community we've got going on.

I think waist trimmers are a large fad... but something evolved from the good old days of saran wrap LOL That being said, saunas or other water loss strategies won't aid your look onstage if you've still got fat to lose. People place the wrong amount of thinking into things that really aren't going to make a difference. I tend to promote staying away from saunas in general (i've never been a big fan) due to the amount of sweating and electrolyte loss/dehydration that occurs. And just a little tid bit of info - your body actually burns more calories by shivering than sweating (still I would consider that minimal lol)

I don't get any of the side effects of clen - I've had to test it on others to make sure it was me lol But there is down regulation to the side effects that occur.

I'm not an overly large fan of T3, perhaps small doses when metabolic adaptation has hit in the final stages of a fat loss phase but in the initial stages I wouldn't bother. However, one thing worth mentioning is you do not need to cycle on and off clenbuterol. I'm sure others will disagree with me - but the down regulation is a myth or at least for the reason we use clenbuterol.

It was posted in the BodyTech section - he wasn’t accepting new clients after Jan 6th. The “newish” email was around for awhile. But Nova was correct they have gone private.
