Are you able to do a cutter with Equipoise?

ad

It sounds like EQ really stimulates your appetite. This fact seems like it would make it impossible (or at least very difficult) to include in a stack for a cutting cycle. The vascularity and quality gains it produces is what has me interested. I'm just researching options for my next cycle which will be a cutter since I will be entering a show. Just wondering how much it reallly stimulates your appetite and if anyone has successfully used it in a cut.

Yes,,its great for cutting but you do have to control your appetite.
You will give you a distinct hard,,vascular appearance with superior
strength gains.

that vascularity is what has me drooling about it. Planning on being down to 5% BF so I am really looking to make those veins pop.

I recently ran EQ/Test/var for a cutter and it was amazing. Ive only ran test/var before, but EQ gives me more vascularity and muscle fullness than var by far. As far as appetite, it may have increased it a little bit, but it wasnt as if I was drooling every time I thought of food. The hardest days were ones where I was off from work, and really had nothing to do but sit around.

I will run EQ with any cycle I do from now on. Most people complain that they got no gains from it and only saw a little bit of vascularity increase. This is because their bf% was too high before starting EQ. Lower bf with EQ is better results. I ran it with a low dose test 300mg/wk, and the vascularity I had was insane. Granted I am always between 8-10bf% year round, but it was stupid. I had more veins in my abs and chest that guys at my gym had on their forearms. EQ is worth it to me. If you want to get huge and add tons of strength, maybe not, but if you want minimal gains, and to drop bf, I highly recommend it from personal experience

thanks for your input. I think I will definitely keep EQ on my radar for a possible compound for my next cycle. The vascularity I hear people talking about with it is what really has me interested.

Your welcome. If you have low body fat and want more of a recomp/cut cycle id go with EQ. Honestly, Ive always been in incredible shape. Im genetically gifted, and thank my dad big time haha. but I usually am at 220 year round and always have a 6 pack and veins everywhere, but EQ is ridiculous. Highest I went up was to 225 on cycle and I didnt eat to cut, but I didnt gain any fat at all. granted I do eat very clean. It really is a great compound. I had people staring at me everywhere I'd go and they would comment on my physique and vascularity. 600mg EQ worked great for me.

If running something like this for a show, what would be the optimum week in this cycle to hit the stage? I am thinking it would be somewhere around week 18-19 while the EQ is still there to reap the benefits of the increased vascularity.

Thats why I am asking all these questions right now. My show isn't going to be until May next year but I am trying to get all of these dumb thoughts and questions out of my head right now so that everything is dialed in when it comes time to start my next cycle for the show. Planning on taking 1st in the masters and at least placing in the top 3 with the young kids. thanks for your help so far.

I know that diet will dictate whether it is a cutter or bulker, but since it apparently increases appetite it seems like it might be a struggle to restrict calories while using it. Just wondering how much of an appetite increase people experience while using it. Is it just a little increase or something that wants you to eat the entire fridge everytime you open it.

That's something you'll hafta figure out on your own brother. It affects some people's appetite more than others. I like Zewi's cycle he posted below but I would start with the 600mg/week dosage first since you haven't ran it before

This is exactly what im running ATM except with DBol 1-4 @ 40mg ED

The kick times work well

Test P and Dbol for NOW
Test E for LATER
EQ for MUCH LATER

Dbol to add mass/strength at the start
Var and Eq should finish me off lean and vascular.

Cheers Threshy

Looks like a good cycle. I think I may look into running something like this for my next bulk, except I'll drop the var for the bulk and maybe bump up the testE a bit.
