Little knowledge about me before cycle. I have ran EQ before it treated me well but I ran it at 500. I’m a powerlifter looking to put on quality size and strength. I’m 225 pounds currently. I just competed at 220 and benched a little over 500.
Test E 750 : 20 weeks :
EQ 500-750 : 20 weeks :
Deca 100mg : 20 weeks :
Arimidex .25mg E3D : 16 weeks :

Thats the dose i like for test eq but get bloods before starting your ai. Eq converys to a mild ai and only bloods will show your values.
Awesome Bench buddy!
As I just said in PM, ya never told me you were this damn strong last time we spoke!! Lmao
The Test level looks good, leave that. I personally wouldn't bother with EQ after then trying Deca and NPP and getting much better strength from them than the EQ, BUT if you have run it before and did well on it clearly then I would stick with it. I assume you get the hunger ramp up from it? The Deca I assume is in there for joints is it? Personally I would keep it in there with the EQ but bump the Deca up to 600mg - lots of powerlifters run EQ and Deca together and do well from it. NPP feels better than the Deca however and you may find it more enjoyable to run, but it will require 3 times per week pinning.
You do have other options like DHB which some members on here report great strength increases off and it is after all stronger on paper than both EQ and Deca, I have not yet run it though so cannot comment. As far as orals go you will of no doubt seen many guys report good strength increases from 50mg Anavar tabs which you could pop in there at some point. I think you will likely need some Telmisartan too if you go with 3 compounds, although you know how you respond after the last cycle. Thats my input for what its worth anyway mate - and you are stronger than me!! LOL
Yes I get the huge hunger increase from the EQ. The deca at 100mg is for lubing the joints, yes. If I were do throw in 50mg anavar, how long and when do you think i would want that to be during the cycle. Why do you think I’d need telmisartan? And if so how would you recommend dosing it?
I’ve considered NPP, but I just feel like the EQ gave me solid mass and strength last time. I just don’t know if NPP would do that for me(which I’ve never tried) but I’m trying to break a ATWR in my age division. So I don’t have a lot of time to trial and error the gear just yet.
I think if you are upping your Test and adding in more EQ/compounds then your BP is going to increase somewhat mate, I can't imagine it will still be under 135/85 at rest. If you add in 40mg Telmisartan then that number will stay much lower and training will be much easier as your heart isn't working so hard to reoxygenate your muscles etc. Have you taken your BP before whilst on cycle? You must of noticed an increase on the other peaking cycle you ran and training was a little tougher?
I am starting to think that as you did so well on what you ran before, then maybe just adding to the levels a little bit like you have done may be all you need to do. I am not sure if you have difficulty in jumping and achieving the numbers you need in your programming each week - if you are hitting them fairly well is it worth adding in more compounds? However if you were to do it then try 600mg Deca or 500mg NPP and I guarantee you will get stronger off them. I would only add in the Anavar if you are struggling a little maybe in the middle or the end of the cycle, no need to heavily modify something that has already been proven to work well.
Yeah my BP is normally not bad. I should check it more often than the every 2 weeks or so but. But thinking about the training being harder I think you’re right. So last bulking cycle was 500 Test and 500 EQ and I got up to 233. This go around I’d like to get to 240ish or so. So do you think 500mg of NPP would get me stronger than 750 EQ??
Its hard to say for sure in your case as you may respond differently to me to a compound, you also may gain a lot of weight and muscle from the appetite increase on the EQ but then again you get great appetite increase from the NPP also. When I am suggesting 500mg NPP I am really talking as an addition to the EQ if you are wanting to use something extra, I would keep the EQ at 500mg/wk if you are going to thrown in the NPP also. You will know after using the NPP for a few weeks if it is going to help you get stronger or not - its quite fast acting.
See I just don’t know if I’m ready to run that big of a cycle tbh. I may sound like a bitch but I’ll work my way eventually up to that.
