+ 23 End of EQ cycle

ad

End of my 20 wk EQ cycle. First time running EQ and I wanted to give it a test run to see if it would be a compound I could use for contest prep. I ran the EQ at 600mg/wk with 500mg test. I am not real impressed with EQ. Overall I was happy with the cycle but I was expecting more vascularity from the EQ. Needless to say I am not going to use EQ for my contest prep. The EQ was from a couple of high ranking sources that are no longer here and the test was from naps.

You look great. I wish I could get your size!

You did look like a beast here, insane fullness, extremely thick. Nice and lean. Boldenone is a good compound. Just gotta be patient with it. I'm liking it more and more. I've been all about npp for years now but I hate how it bloats me and destroys the lines. Bulking on bold you look leaner, drier, more crisp and vascular. Can look good both off season and in season

Thanks. I'm definitely going to give it another go at a higher dose but it will probably be a few cycles down the road. I have actually picked up some bold cyp to kick it with. did feel great the whole cycle so that was a definite plus. Never did get the appetite boost from it though.

Long time ago I could do it. I'm too old to try and push that much weight now. I just focus on slow controlled negatives now. Ill do some reps with 265 but that's about all the heavier I want to go. I bet it's been 10 years since I tried maxing out anything!

I ran EQ at 800mg a week took awhile to kick n but when it did I was feeling it would get hotter then the sun lol jkn but serious I had great workouts and vascular was crazy I did get a BP monitor to watch BP bcuz was getting headaches but gave blood an I was fine

You should have run eq 800mg/wk and test at 400mg/wk and you would of liked it more.

Makwa's picture

I am going to give it a go with 900mg next time I run it and frontload with some bold cyp.

Looking superb brother! Beautifully crafted muscular, broad and solid physique! Thick, dense and symmetrical! Both outstanding and most impressive forward progression! Muscle bellies are full and tight! Some Bodybuilders tout EQ as an amazing compound with little or no sides, others claim it's only use is to lube bicycle chains! Irongame probably nailed it as to the issue of potency and dosage! Regardless you possess a peerless build! Exemplary and inspiring work imdeed! +2 for a solid and robust build!
I'm certain you'll do well in competition!

Thanks. I'll be putting up some progress pics during my next cycle in prep for my shows so I'll be welcoming some additional feedback.

cdyrdes's picture

Glad your back and damn you have gotten a lot bigger +1 sir

Makwa's picture

Thanks. I got knocked out of the game with some unexpected surgury right when I was starting to prep for my competition. Couldn't move for about 3 months and lost a lot of quality mass that got replaced with fat. Got back in the gym and I was bound and determined to make some serious gains. I am glad it is showing. I am ready to start prepping for some competitions and I think the added mass is going to help this year.

cdyrdes's picture

Its showing well my man and once you peel some of it back you'll be shining, good luck on your comps this year brudda.

Makwa's picture

Going to have 2 of them back to back.

Thanks. I definitely put on some more mass compared to this time last year. Now I am looking forward to carving it up for my competitions this spring.

Bro I tried 5 different eqs and I felt shity the whole time, until I got some real eq and it was 50 MG each ml. at 4 ml wk I got some crazy gains and I loved it.

bigJOHNstud's picture

Yeah for a guy your size I think your dose is too low. I liked it at 900 mg per week. Like I read down below the quality of alit of eq is questionable. I ran eq with some tren for the ebc a while back and got some decent gains and I still have the veins that the eq gave me. You are looking great though. Good work and I think you would like eq at a higher dose

Makwa's picture

Thanks. What do you run it at?

irongame427's picture

Here's my theory on why you didn't, and a lot of people don't respond well to it. Most eq is not very pure since it's never been a pharm grade product. Averaging in the 60%. So wee kinda established one needs about 600mgs eq to see results. Well if you're running 600mg ew and it's only 60% pure you're really only using 360mg, which isn't enogh to do much. So just something to think about befoe you totally disregard it for good.

But you look good bro (no homo)

Makwa's picture

Makes sense to me. I was hopinig I could get away with a lower dose but it sounds like I need to run this much higher than 600mg. Fortunately I have seen it dosed at 600mg/ml so you don't really need to inject a whole lot of oil.

juiceball8082's picture

Fucking awesome results!

Makwa's picture

thanks!

swoldier's picture

Should have ran it at a gram a week to really see the effects if eq Smile ur a monster tho bro! +1

Makwa's picture

It was my first time running it so I wanted to be somewhat conservative. It doesn't seem like I respond to it as well as other compounds. You're right, if I do run it again I was thinking about 800-1000mg but being an old dude the increase in RBC and potential high BP are a real concern for me. I didn't experience any problems at 600mg fortunately so I may be able to get away running it higher.

You might consider running some low dose aspirin with eq.

Makwa's picture

I donated some blood about 8 weeks into the cycle so I think that also probably helped with the BP.

bigJOHNstud's picture

I only say that because eq thickens your blood and aspirines thin your blood.

Makwa's picture

I was paranoid about the high BP issue with EQ so I was taking all kinds of herbs and stuff that supposedly keep BP in check. I also did take a baby aspirin everyday. Stuff must have worked because I didn't have any issues with high BP.

bigJOHNstud's picture

It's good that you did your homework. It's always better to be over prepared but another reason could be your dose was too low.

Makwa's picture

That is kind of what I was thinking also. Once I bump up the dose my BP could skyrocket.

Makwa's picture

Even though I mentioned I am not real impressed with EQ I do have to give it credit for the solid gains it provides. Three months after the cycle and I have retained most of my mass. I have lost a little hardness but the gains I made were quality and are staying with me. It will be interesting to see if I run it higher if I will get the vascularity that I was hoping for.

Makwa's picture

I was also waiting for the spike in hunger to hit me but it really never seemed to. I never felt like I had to eat the whole house but what I did notice was that if I didn't eat every few hours I felt sick to my stomach, almoust nauseous. Once I ate I was fine. That was one other reason I wanted to try out EQ before I used it for contest prep. If I constantly wanted to eat everything in sight it might be hard to do some serious dieting.
