I realize this is a 10y old post. I am trying to put together a cycle for a bulk later this year after summer is over and found this while researching. I am a heavy aromatizer, I already have a bit of gyno from when I went through puberty and have not had surgery yet to have it removed. Usually a bulk cycle for me is 300-500mg of test e and 200-400mg of primo e, usually start low and taper up until the end. I want to throw in another compound this year and I am considering EQ and/or mast to run alongside my normal test/primo stack. I am curious what you might think about that? Is it worth adding in anything else when I know this cycle I normally run works for me?

Man this looks like a killer cycle. How is everything coming along? do you notice any changes in your aggression or any sides yet? Hope this cycle does what you are looking for.

Good advice on here...I've run several EQ compounds; in fact, it's been my favorite compound. The first few were identical to what you proposed above and I had solid gains and a slightly higher BF than you are currently at. I recently ran a cycle with 900mg/week but I think any higher than 600 is unnecessary for your 1st few runs. As others have said, less is almost always more.

I did my last run with a frontload and I really enjoyed it. I noticed the effects of the EQ kick in a few weeks earlier. As j223 mentioned, a standard EQ bold cycle usually takes around 8 weeks to "kick in", the frontload will accelerate this. Although this is only your 3rd cycle, I don't see much downside to you using a frontload of 1,200 mg/wk for the first two weeks. Doing so will also ensure you don't need a cycle longer than 20 weeks; you can probably get away with 16 but let your body, vitals (i.e BP), and blood work be your guide.

I take one baby aspirin every day when on EQ and monitor my bp very regularly. Donating blood 2-3 times during a 20 week cycle will only help as well. Good luck with your cycle!

Before I would commit to 24 weeks, I would reassess at 20 where just about anything that EQ is gonna provide will have happened. Sorry to hear about your injury bro. I agree with your perspective on not dipping below 600 mg / wk on the EQ. That would be the floor. EQ works for most of us and does support a quality slow build of lean mass and as u lower the BF it produces a very nice lookiing vascularity as well. So, this is your off season and I think u are being conservative here. And, in the end, it's all about diet as you know anyways.

U are aware that EQ builds red blood cells and on a full run u will need to manage the excess of that (many of us donate blood on a regular basis to control it) and with that, please don't remotely underestimate BP problems as well. Of course, try the natural approaches first for BP but keep in the back of your mind that those of us that sometimes run into health issues from steroids - it isn't the chemicals directly that cause organ problems - it's BP. I have a fancy schmancy BP monitor in the house and I always write this - if you walk in the gym before u even touch a weight and folk are complimenting u on your "tan" and u haven't been tanning? LOL That's BP, bro.

Interestingly enough; I am currently running an EQ cycle at 350mg a week. I'm currently on week 4 and lost 5 pounds and vascular is up big time. The actual minimum EQ to use and gain is 300mg a week. A better dose is 400. 500 is extremely well and in my opinion the top dog especially if you are less then 15% BF.

A couple of questions: Why EQ at 600 and why 24 weeks? "Usually" EQ is run a bit higher (not necessarily suggesting that). Twenty four weeks is super long and can cause some issues (BP issues, especially for us in our 40's).
