That's one of the main reasons I got into gear, to have a much better appetite! I went from barely being able to eat a slice of toast in the morning & hating breakfast, to being able to eat a proper meal upon waking lol Can get up during the night and manage it also where as before that was unheard of lol
I was starving my first cycle
Cup of rice, cup of black beans, 8 oz ground beef and 6 eggs was meal 1..
I had to spoon it all out of a mixing bowl lol
Looked like dog food and tasted like Heaven
Bud thinking back to when I first started using I would eat some real shitty boring food over and over again, managed it for a few years before I had to change things. I was buying real basic, bland stuff so I could afford to run gear LOL
I was like that too. I didn't eat much before I used gear
Before I understood how gear worked and all the benefits I could never get my head around how the guys in the magazines could eat so damn much every 2 to 3 hours. First ever time I used EQ I got that crazy hunger side but the issues with blood donation soon put me off it.
Meh, The reason EQ gives the endurance is because of its ability to raise hemoglobin and produce Red blood cells delivery of more oxygen to the muscle. I only dump blood after cycles if Im really high. EQ is awesome I wouldn't put it off because of that. It gets dangerous when the sticky platelets are high because that's what clots. Just having more blood with lower viscosity for temporary period isn't that dangerous in my opinion. All steroids increase blood cells and hemoglobin, think about all the people who would be stroking out or heart blockages out here. There's millions of steroid users around the world many who abuse them too. We'd be hearing about this weekly around here if it was definitive that this side effect causes blood clots. I think it's more of a theory than truth. I rip apart doctors who get all bent out of shape about slightly above range RBC and hemoglobin hematocrit scores on bloods and want to pull people off TRT. This is ludicrous and having low testosterone is far more dangerous and risk of having a fatal event that higher blood cell counts a little thick.
Yeh I do get what you are saying bud - it was one of those things that was said to me in a forum during the early days and it just totally freaked me out! It was along the lines of you will have to donate blood around the 6th week on it, and still being pretty needle phobic then in terms of having blood pulled out of me rather than injecting things in I just thought I would cut my losses and jump off it and as it turns out onto Deca lol Probably not much better really.
Deca 100% raises RBC... And breaks the Dickens.......
I think I remember you said you were scared of giving blood..... I am able to do it myself because they don't let me donate from previously having hep C.... I been cured threw medicine since 2015 and still test 0 virus but that's the rules so Ill do it every now and then. I order the phlebotomy kits
LOL You have a good memory! - back in those days for sure, now after the numerous blood tests and having a transfusion done I couldn't care less. Even had it taken at the dentist for when they do a bone graft and mix your blood up with cow bone then inject it back into your jaw Lol I tried the self bleed option and it really didn't go well mate lol Plus Mac on here convinced me that I should leave it to the professionals as even he would struggle doing it one handed!
A. Not a full cycle. Prohormones before, but at 19yo I got Anadrol50 from “the guy” at the gym. Impressively expensive. Got nice results so I did it here and there for a few weeks at a time. For a couple years. It was fun, there’s no regrets. Didn’t touch anything again until I was 43. I’m thankful because hopefully I can enjoy the boost into my later years.
Didn't A50's with no Test feel really nasty?
Not at all. I have a theory, it’s only a theory. I can post pictures of when I was an early to mid teen. Not heavily muscular, but my upbringing was in a military household. There was exercise from a young age. Anyway, with a lean muscular physique, bad acne, a hairline that was pulling back quicker than the French by the time I was 19, a dermatologist wanted to fuck with my hormones. I was 15-16 getting huge cystic acne, but biceps matched my age up until 17. It was weird, hells explain a few other things too. Before I crashed my total T was 795 at 40yo. Not bad.
What was the theory? lol
Those of us with unbalanced hormones when we’re young suffer later. It was just weird that a skin doctor looked at me after a few treatments and went to hormonal therapy. I mean my 15years and 10month old drivers license was 5’10” 170lbs. And I was lean.
Lifted-presence92A I was 18 and it was a fail didn’t eat or train consistently and also ate Vicodin and Xanax like skittles..
Failed hard!
So with you and Drexyl - Did either of you do PCT or did you not really know what it was back then and just let things recover naturally?
Lifted-presence92Bro I didn’t even know what a pct was tbh lol I just jumped off and chased the opiates really hard till I was 28.
I bet you look back now and think why on earth did I get mixed up in that shit for all those years - same as I do with drink whilst everyone else was Makin Dem Gainzzz!!!
Lifted-presence92Man you already know the deal…. you’re speaking to the choir! I would already be open size I’m almost certain… now I gotta try to achieve that in my 30s lmao figured I got a good 8 years left to cycle if my health lines up.
It's one of the things that REALLY pisses me off that I didn't get disciplined more in my 20's and get on with things properly then, I swear my recovery and turn around time would of been so much better and I could of done better. Still I guess we would all of done things differently with our lives in one way or another if we had another shot at it, gotta be thankful for what we have right now.
Lifted-presence92You ain’t lying bro for whatever reason god planned it out this way
Youngest guy I have ever personally known to use was 16, I was a lot stronger than him when we were both natties. Then once he jumped on he was literally competing on the World Powerlifting circuit by age 19 and lifting a shitload in the Juniors winning most competitions.
Landed on your feet though.
Lifted-presence92Yeah bro after a hard run 7 treatment centers and 2 psych wards later… I could of saved me and my family and my wife now my girlfriend at the time a good bit of money if I would of stuck around in the AA rooms long enough. Lol
