    Mass Or Strength

    HI, i am geting alot of guys telling me that Sust 250 is for strength not mass.

    But i have also heared its for mass.

    I am looking for mass, it will be my first cycle, i have my option between Test-E And Sust 250.

    But i dont know which one builds more mass, i will also be stacking this with D-BOL.

    So which one between the 2 are for mass gains.

    Test-E or Sust 250

    Thanks.

    What are you running it at.
    I would go with testE/Sus 500mg/week for 12 weeks
    Dbol-25mg/day for 4 weeks

    I think you will hear most people here will tell you that test E is the way to go. Personally I like Sus. Cant really go wrong with either.

    Ok man, and no i will not do both if that is what you where saying.

    I will do test-e or sus at 500mg a week for 12 weeks, d-bol at 30mg a day for 4 weeks to jump start the cycle.

    I want to add mass, so need to know which one is better at that.?

    Thank you.

    Testosterone is the measure from which all other drugs obtain their anabolic/androgenic ratios, testosterone is good for BOTH.

    So either would be good, or are you saying Test-E.?

    If you do more studies, you'll fine that Test E is much better. What are your stats so we can tell you the correct dosage.

    Sustanon is testosterone dude. I put on 20 pounds with my first cycle, which was sustanon. If your friends can't gain mass with testosterone they dont know what they are doing.

    I know you didn't say that, but it was implied by them stating its not good for mass. If you gain 20-30 pounds in 10 weeks, and say its not a great mass gain, I have to be curious what their stats are.

    Unless of course they haven't used anything, in which case I dont know where they would have read such a thing.

    How much HCG do you have? Amps are commonly 1500/2000/2500/5000iu. 500iu twice a week is fine for most people, some go down to 250 twice a week and are fine.

    1500iu isn't enough to do much, but you may as well run it at the very end of your cycle.

    Normally its run towards the tail end of the cycle, not post cycle as it is suppressive. If you replace what the body does on its own, that is cycling, hence - hCG is not a post cycle drug.

    500iu twice a week is fine, which leaves you 1.5 weeks.

    How old are you again? How long have you been working out for? What are your present stats, height and weight?

    TOm astutely asked these questions. I didn't see you answer them for us; I don't think you'll get the answers you want until we see stats first.

    To restate it politely:

    Age
    Height
    Weight
    Length of training
    Bodyfat %

    Have you ever purchased and read a anabolic steroids book? This is not a decision you make lightly.

    Wow its been so long since I delt with PCT I cant even remember what I ran (dosages). But as far as Dbol I wouldnt think you need more than 25/mg day. Especially since its your first cycle.

    Yeah I know you say what we can say wont change. I agreed whenever I was 19. I did my first cycle then. I think I shorted myself now, but I know how pigheaded people can be and I was the same way. I wont try to get you to rethink it, just give you the best and safest advice I can.

    Thanks man, but i am actually thinking about waiting, even tho they hit you with WAIT TELL YOUR 21.

    And then after you reach the age of 21 they hit you with GENETIC LIMIT.

    Kinda bull.

    But i dunno.

    Go read my response in the new thread posted by TOM (Trouble or Mudge) this morning.

    Read it, and then come back to this thread and ask me questions if what I am saying is not clear to you.

    You are 22 (or younger), and from a quick review of your stats, you are far from being at the very important point of physical optimum for use of gear.

    Using it now would have many negative consequences...and you would be unable to sustain the gains made. After a few cycles, you would have reaped very little net gains, and a lot of costs.

    A quick review of your posts here also indicates that you need to read and learn a lot more before you are ready for responsible use of gear.

    There is no bullshit here. There is plenty of harsh reality.

    There is no free ride in life. There are no real shortcuts. There are tradeoffs.

    Gear use has it tradeoffs. The earlier you start its use, the less likely you are to have permament benefit, but the higher your net negative costs, especially in young men of your present age.

    BTW, I can tell you why creatine didn't work for you, and also why you need to understand the significance of it not working. Its a good a signpost as any that your body if far from being able to use AAS as its intended.

    So Trouble, how long should i wait.??

    I get what your trying to say, but was Arnold better of not to take steroids at 15.??

    I mean he would tell you no, because if he would have waited he would never acheived what he has today.

    I would just like to know how long, just to my genetic limit.?

    But i also don't get why all Pro BodyBuilder's do not wait for this genetic limit.

    Thanks,????

    >So Trouble, how long should i wait?

    At least five more years (minimum 26-27, 7 years or hardcore training, and glucose tolerance fine-tuning. It is an *option* not a given, that you will need it. It depends on your goals, your genetics, and your discipline.

    >I get what your trying to say, but was Arnold better off not to take steroids at 15.??

    That's affirmative; he was better off not to take them at so young an age.

    You are not Arnold S; its illogical to compare yourself to him.

    >I mean he would tell you no, because if he would have waited he would never acheived what he has today.

    Wanna bet on that? I bet if we write to him, he would say, "No, I would not have used to early; I would have waited."

    >I would just like to know how long, just to my genetic limit.?

    Depends on how hard you train and how dedicated you are to reaching that goal. Its not a matter of "when", its a matter of "if".

    >But i also don't get why all Pro BodyBuilder's do not wait for this genetic
    limit.

    Again, your rationalization is that if the pro bbers do it, its OK?

    Faulty logic. You may never make it the hard-earned ranks of the professional bodybuilder. You may, however, make it to the ranks of the seasoned and wise strength-training enthusiast, who dedicates himself to personal accomplishment.

    Meeting that goal of personal accomplishment does not require the use of AAS. It requires grit, drive, and determination, self control and perseverence.

    On failure to respond to creatine loading: You cannot bioaccumulate and use creatine as an energy source for type II fiber action if you do not have good glucose tolerance. You cannot modulate water and ion balance within cells, a direct pre-requisite to create and glycogen efficiency, without insulin sensivitvity to permit glucose entry into cells for storage, and taurine and N-acetyl cysteine to counteract ion accumulation by oxdiative phosphorylation.

    Therefore, sir, your lack of creatine response is a direct indicator of your lack of ability to utilize glucose and other energy sources in muscle fibers associated with optimal strength status in large compound muscle performance.

    You are not ready. When you can use CEE, and begin to see and feel the benefits of its effects, when you store and use glycogen efficiently, determined directly from liver lipid status and also short chain fatty acids balance in distal gut (these are exceptionally advanced notions that the other bodybuilding sites - save one or two- neglect to discuss) - then you will be ready to receive maximal benefit against the costs incurred in AAS use. This glycogen storage facet only occurs when gut health is maximized. That status assures optimal immune system function. In turn, optimal immune system function guarantees adequate repair and recovery from intense training.

    Until then, you are spitting in the wind.

    I know i am not comparing to Arnold, also Arnold has already stated that he does not regret anything from using steroids.

    Also how would he have achieved what he had today, he would have been into his 20's to reach genetic limit, than now one would have noticed him.

    He has gotten where he was today because of steroids.

    But i do agree with the other terms you have stated.

    No Name. I hate to be cynical, but Arnold is genetically gifted, no question. His political success is at least partially predicated on his many roles as the Hollywood Hero. Plus, he is a "larger than life" personality, yet another quality necessary to excel as a top bodybuilder.

    Had he ran for governor of Cali as a bodybuilder, nah, sorry, he wouldn't have even made it onto the ballot. To assert that his success is due to steroids is..short sighted, perhaps wishful thinking.

    AAS is a ham fisted molecular pry bar. Its best used to get the last few percentage of peak performance, not to drag your anndrogen receptors (and a whole lot innocent bystander receptors) kicking and screaming to a level activity above mediocrity.

    TOM, thank you for the kind words. Interesting avatar; I would say more, but I have an interest in working for Uncle. Best not to rock the boat.
