Figured I’d introduce, or re introduce, myself?
What’s up y’all. I’ve had an account for several years. I don’t post a lot or ask many questions. Early on I had some senior members drill it into my head that the search function is your friend! I always remind myself of confirmation bias. I use the search function to CHALLENGE my thoughts about gear and fitness, rather than scrolling thru 100 articles just to find that one rogue article that tells me what I wanna hear. I’ve been thru the uneducated random cycles and long term blasts and cruises (mostly blasts) that come with being young and hard headed. Those days for me are over. Last cycle I ran was 5+ years ago and I consulted with educated folks and approached it with the “less is more” type of mentality. Granted, I realized if I took too tiny of doses , it would be pointless, but I did great by focusing on diet, sleep, cardio, lifting first....and a conservative gear regimen second. Came to a fork in the road a few years back. Keep spending money(and time) on gear, food, supps, gym membership, etc....or take a break and focus on my professional life and set myself up for a better future. I chose the latter. So here I am after a long hiatus. I’m on another forum that has nothing to do with fitness, but I’ve come to gain some close friends and learn more about one of my other passions. Maybe I’ll try to be more active here as there are a ton of folks with lots of knowledge. Great humor here too. You won’t find me posting about asking for sources or telling you I just jumped on a bunch of compounds and don’t know how to use them or what kind of ancillaries I need. I had a major work up for bloods 2 weeks ago (drinking contaminated water is no fun) and the doc was happy with my numbers. That being said, I’ll be doing another round via privatemdlabs to focus on the hormone specific stuff prior to getting back on gear. I will say that “Grrrl” was someone I had corresponded with a handful of times years back. Definitely helped change my perspective on taking care of my damn health! @Rustyhooker helped me out with a few diet and lifting questions but that was some time ago. Glad to be back

Welcome back bro I didnt mean to mess up your thread
Not at all man I enjoy discussion
AnonWelcome back
Thx man
RustyhookerWelcome back and hope ya have a great year!
Cheers Rusty you too
I consulted with educated folks and approached it with the “less is more” type of mentality. Granted, I realized if I took too tiny of doses , it would be pointless”
I still run low doses and I get good results. And I save myself from increased side effects. So you shouldn’t say it would be pointless
Let me clarify. After getting suggestions from people about using low doses, I started doing that and got good results with minimal side effects, like you. That being said I also wouldn’t put a minimal amount of exogenous test in my body if it wouldn’t raise my levels higher than what my body was already doing naturally.
I typically run my test at 150 ew. I only use it because it aromatizes into estrogen. Only time I run test higher is when im taking nandrolone. If im stacking with something else my test stays low. But id rather my test be low and stack with other compounds at low doses also that dont aromatize. That way you utilize other anabolic pathways of growth with minimal side.
Molinin302Interesting, I tend to go with the drugs that are as bioidendtical as possible. I keep the AI low, but like to add Masteron in low to moderate dosages for its receptor blocking effects. Very very useful drug. Whats your go to compound? Test for me, I build around that.
I Also build around test and mast now too. That way I never need an ai. My test is at 750 and with mast at the same dose my estrogen is perfect for me.
Molinin302AIs can be nasty is not used correctly. Drostanalone is a blocker, probably the first SERM. More people should introduce it into their cycles, even at a low dose. Even crazier, for breast cancer, which it was developed for, it fucking worked. Probably why it was taken off the market in the US. Can't have anything that actually works right?
For sure . I know 10 years ago when I was being “educated” by uneducated people, AI’s were pretty reckless...”take X amount , X times per week.” Definitely had my estrogen too low due to taking it just cuz I was told to. For reference, the guy that suggested it got in a 30 minute argument with me when I told him “ester” is not a slang term for estrogen lol. Thanks for the input on masteron. Definitely gonna read more about it. I’m an ectomorph and was told by bro science guys that I would need to take massive doses to compensate for that. The absolute best results I ever got was a super clean disciplined diet , 250mg test e per week, and 120 Mg tren e per week. Literally my worst side effect was night sweats. If I get back on again, I’ll prob just do test and mast. Hard to believe it’s been over 5 years already. I ordered gear from a former source here 2 years ago and never ended up getting back on. Had to focus on work and family
Its crazy how slightest change of a compound can change the effect. Like Eq is basically injectable Dbol, yet dbol is has high aromatizing properties, while eq’s metabolites can act as an ai. But I agree mast it great, I just advocate low dose. Low effective doses
Molinin302My guy, it took literally 2 months for my BP to return to normal. Morning were 160/90. And I had made a blood donation. There's something about that compound that my body doesn't like. But, for the record, the stuff will give some impressive results. I never had vascularity on my shins, I ran that compound and yeah. Shin veins lol. Wildest thing is they're still there. I dunno bro, it works but I'm leaving it to les cheval.
I ran it once but was a bp nightmare also. So is dbol for me I dont mess with it. Much better compounds than those two imo
For bulking I run test and nandrolone. Cutting test and tren. When prep cut is 2-1 month out will add anavar and masterone. But if im blasting, I run test with a 19 regardless if its bulk or cut. Get best results that way for me. If i were to take test at like 700-1000 a week i will have a compound that can aromatize in abundance and cause issues. And id have to take an ai to combat that which will affect lipids and further stress organs
That’s the way to go. The amount of knowledge the guys have here is incredible. I posted my bloods and the feedback and tips I got were great. Welcome back brother!
I appreciate ya man. Thx for the reply
