    Genuinely curious question: why are you running gear? I’ve watched quite a few documentaries on people running tren with test and the benefits, side effects from it. Not hating at all, just curious as to why you’re doing it. Is it to get big, push your natural limits or something else?

    I definitely understand the need for men with low T to be on TRT but I’m curious of your age, any worry of long term side effects from you, etc.

    Thanks bud.

    Great question brother. I've been running gear off and on for 10 years or so. Just enjoying getting above my genetic ceiling. Some of it of course is vanity and probably insecurities that I have being a skinny guy growing up. Now I blast and cruise. 20 weeks on and 20 weeks just trt. Definitely some worries about the long term sides but I do get my bloods checked regularly.

    Got a 5k on May 15th. Started back running a few weeks ago. My wife is running the 15k with her dad. Back last summer/fall, it would have been a good goal to shoot for running a 15k. After getting back in to the gym, running has kind of lost its luster for me. I was down to an 8:30/mil for 4+ miles at a time. Down to a 9:15/mile for 3 miles now. I may be able to get in to the 8:00s by race day. That’ll be a good goal.

    Keep it up brother. We're proud of you.

    Is your PCP prescribing or a Wellness type clinic?

    Ugl and I monitor my bloods myself on cycle and submit bloods on reddit steroids. I also go to my doctor and do regular bloodwork plus test and estrogen twice a year. 200 mgs o a week of test cy or e gets me to 1100 to 1200 on test.

    I’m very familiar with anabolics, hence my comments above. Do what you want, but in my opinion you’re getting very bad advice.

    Tell me about your personal experience with gear and cycles brother, I say that honestly and non confrontational. We are all on this thread on different paths but we are all here to learn and hopefully get good feedback plus some positive motivation. I've been running gear here and there for 10 years. I've ran just test, high test & low tren, high test high tren, lots of npp which I prefer over deca, test & primo, used mast as a finisher with anavar, etc. I'm no expert all I can do is just describe what I do or have done. I'm regularly on reddit steroids which is a very good and popular channel for people on gear.

    Who is prescribing your dosages? I know professional bodybuilders that don’t take that much Tren in a week, and most stay away from Deca because the liver toxicity of Tren by itself is insane and stacking it with Deca would be a great way to watch your ALT and eGFR go to absolute shit. . Also, your test dose is incredibly low.

    I do bloods regularly. The low deca dose is for joint relief. TRT level test while adding anabolics is very common especially with tren. It's my third tren cycle. 600mgs a week is also common for someone who has previous cycles under their belt. For many guys 600 is a sweet spot.

    Started my journey “back” in March of 2020. Figured one of two things would happen with Covid. I’d balloon out of control, or I’d take control. Decided to take control. Started at 293. Weigh in last Friday at 206.6. 
     

    Doc put me on Contrave and that shit worked for me. Took the edge off the NEED for massive quantities of food. Switched to higher protein lower carb diet. Nothing specific and tried to keep daily calorie content below 1800. 
     

    Lab work showed elevated liver enzymes 2 months ago and Dr freaked out and tapered me off contrave. The floodgates opened for that 2 week period. Gained 8 lbs... repeat labs came back normal so I’m back on the med and back on the wagon. 
     

    really need to ramp up my exercise. I need to commit to regular rowing and lifting sessions. I’m spotty at best. 
     

    what are y’all’s thoughts on intermittent fasting? I’m looking at keeping my diet the same but doing 16 off a s 8 on for food intake. Good plan?

    I find that intermittent fasting works and can be a long-term lifestyle to maintain a healthy weight. I know more people who've been able to lose weight, keep it off using intermittent fasting as a true lifestyle change versus keto.

    I'm familiar with all the above.  I ran some Test and Var when I was about 30 with great results.  Measuring out 3500-4000 calories per day and ran Nolvadex for PCT after.  Test levels at that time were still really high.  

    Last time I measured BF it was done 90 days apart in a water tank.  Each under 12%.  That was about 2 years ago.  I'd guess I'm still under 15% now. 

    Now it would be almost purely aesthetic. At 46 with my frame and lifestyle it would be hard to get back to 206 and throwing heavy iron. I'm good at 185-190, multiple HIIT per week and a session or two of yoga.  

    Get er done brother. test primo eq is perfect for what your wanting.  https://www.reddit.com/r/steroids/about/ good info.

    How old are you? I’d be curious to see how I would do with gear at 46 and not 30.

    I’m 41. I would have your test checked first and see if you need TRT. There’s is a lot more than just picking up some gear and injecting it. Workouts are longer, nutrition needs to be dialed in, bloods checked regularly, managing estrogen, what’s your goals, are you going to blast and cruise or blast and do pct? Is this to achieve aesthetics or pure strength and get mass? Do you have a good source? Are you okay being a pin cushion depending on the ester.  You need to be in pretty good shape before starting. Definitely in the under 15% bf and it be legit plus a great foundation already built. Most people underestimate their bf.

    Keep up the great work guys/gals.  I’ve transitioned from NPP to Deca and will be adding 200 mg of Tren weekly split between 2 injections. Sitting at 215. Still at 4500 calories a day. Estrogen is bouncing back.

    What's your workout look like?

    6 days a week PPL. Sometimes I’ll take another day off. Super high volume medium weight for hypertrophy. Off cycle and just cruising on Test then less volume shorter workouts.

    I think it was @Errestaurants that said weight loss is 75% nutrition and 25% exercise. I’d argue that it’s more like 90/10 even.

    Body composition will change with the 10% over time. The key is consistency. The key to weight loss, and keeping it off, is consistency in your nutrition. For people not running gear (test, tren), bulking is an absolutely horrible idea. The human body isn’t meant to gain 25-30 pounds in 3 months time. You will reach a physiological limit on how much strength you can gain. And those extra calories become love handles and you’ll get fat. Then you’ll “cut” before you peak your strength goals and lose even more strength. The best thing I can imagine to do would be some type of “lean bulk” where you’re increasing your calories to 10% more than your TDEE. Very very slow weight gain that would allow you to progress in the gym and further your body composition goals. 
     

    Throw all that out the window if you’re running gear though. Your waist will shrink, muscle will build, and you will become Hulk. Eat a shit ton of protein and clean carbs and you’ll be Zeus.

    Update: Squat has gone to 215x5 and bench is 175x5. Slowly getting back in to form.

    @South Austin I got back in to the gym about 1.5 months ago after recovering from rona. My thought is that most of the people up there aren’t wearing masks have had it anyway. If you’re vaccinated, wear a mask and go about your business. It’s more of a mind game honestly. I had a mental block where I was a bit uncomfortable but it goes away with time. I’m going 6 days a week at this point and don’t plan on stopping.

    I agree with you brother on the 90/10. Speaking of gear got my bloods back this morning and I crashed my estrogen. Backing off arimidex by .5 tab. Also needing to donate blood again. Hematocrit came in at 53. Just donated 2 weeks ago. 

    Whats interesting about the Super low Estrogen is I don't feel lethargic or having ED issues. Ended my Dbol and just on Test & Npp at this point. Over 1 gram combined.

    You can't outrun a bad diet. I lost 65 lbs in 2014 with Keto, and have kept it off with lazy keto.

    I couldn't imagine a regular diet that included daily carbs. Also when I eliminated wheat all my aches and pains vanished.

    I woke up this morning craving avocados for breakfast.

    Nutrition is 75% & Exercise is 25%. Starts in the kitchen. Thats what I tell people when they ask me about getting fit. You see lots of people in the gym everyday doing cardio & some weight training but seem to never change their body composition. I would also add what's important is having a plan/program to follow so you can chart your progress. Many people go to the gym and just kinda do this or that everyday.

    This may be more appropriate for one of the DT COVID threads, but any of you back in the gym? I’m fully vaccinated but don’t feel quite ready, though I’d like to get back soon. A trainer friend gave me some dumb bells when the pandemic hit last March, and with those I’ve been able to maintain some lean muscle mass but have lost a little bulk. A fuller weight routine with all the resources of a gym would help, but I also think getting back into my early morning gym routine would be good for psyche.

    I've been back in the gym full time since June. Getting my first vaccine shot this morning.

    Cut season has me experimenting in the kitchen and I think I have the perfect breakfast (for me anyway) that has taste plus life giving protein.

     

    Best Protein Pancake Mixes - AskMen

     

    2 servings which is 340 calories and 30g of protein, but instead of water I use

     

    Walmart Grocery - Fairlife Milk 52 fl oz - Lactose Free Fat Free Skim Milk

     

    1 serving which is 80 calories and 13g of protein. These make 5 smedium pancakes at 420 calories and 43g of protein. I put on it low calorie sugar free "maple syrup" which is 2.5 calories per tablespoon.

     

    I eat 2 boiled eggs daily. Is it good or bad for my health? - QuoraH-E-B Mild Turkey Sausage Breakfast Roll, 16 oz – Central Market

     

     

    On the side I throw in 2 sunny side up eggs (150 calories & 12g of protein) and HEB turkey breakfast sausage (110 calories & 13g or protein) and you're looking at....700 calories and 68g of protein for the meal. That fills me up until dinner but I'll still eat some seeds and fruit after the lunch workout with plenty of caloric space. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I like Greg Doucette's pancake recipe. I use cinnamon raisin Ezekiel bread and add a scoop of vanilla whey powder. Walden farms zero calorie syrup is pretty good.

  14. I’ve hit a wall and kinda perplexed. On my post on the first page I described I’m doing a bulk to 220. I’m having trouble getting past 210 even after upping my calories from 4100 to 4300. I’m getting my blood work results back Friday. I’ve upped the test from 600 to 700, npp is still at 150 mwf and upped the dbol to 80 mgs a day pre-workout. Got about 8 weeks left.
