Weight train 5 days a week, Heavy weights 12 to 15reps


Goal weight 220lbs lean

current gear

test e / deca / 15 amps / sus 250 / EQ

need some pct gear.

Raise calories slowly and carefully then.

People who bulk by adding 2000+ calories over maintenance, end up eating garbage to try and be able to keep up with their new "diet." This is where the fat gains come from.



Posted by: turboflash

need some help planning


500mg test E 2x a week
250mg deca 1x a week for my joints
300mg eq 2x a week
sus250 1amp per week
12 weeks on

Sorry but if you want to gain muscle you will have to accept you will gain a little bodyfat and fluid with it therwise you will just restrict your results.

I doubt very much you will gain anything on your current program. Your on fairly low caloric intake for your size and your also burning alot of calories with your intense cardio activities. Your body has no chance to rest, recover and grow.

I would drop a training day and reduce your cardio activities.

Remember you need to be in a calorie surplus to gain weight so you need to adjust you caloric intake to above mantainance and increase them as you gain muscle throughout your cycle.

If you are going to run both test e and sust together, I'd use the sust to front alongside of the test E. But as stated above, the biggest problem is your diet/caloric intake. Fix that before you do anything else.

Might as well ad the Deca to your Monday or Thursday shot so you don't have to inject as much. You should see good results with this cycle if you stick with it for at least 12 weeks, ideally 16. I'd add HCG. What is your plan for post cycle therapy? I'd leave the sustanon out.



Posted by: turboflash

I need pct gear nolvadex is the plan.

Ok I'll save the sustanon for next cycle

I have 2 EQ 10ml Should I work that into my cycle I talk to a couple guys they said yes.



Posted by: VictorZ06

This is what I would suggest. I would use up all the sust to front with for the first 2 weeks, 3 if you want. Take 250mg 3X a week. (M/W/F)

Mon/Thrs. shots:

250mg test E (1-12) TOTAL 500mg
200mg deca (1-10) TOTAL 400mg
200mg EQ (1-10) TOTAL 400mg

With this cycle, I would use both clomid and nolva for PCT.

And as for your diet, more cals and protein. At 200 lbs. you should have not problem putting down 5-6K a day. Protein, 1.5-2gr per pound. Good luck!

I only have 1 10ml bottle of Deca
and 2 10ml of the EQ so may have to cut deca to 1 shot a week.
Is that cool?
Thanks

Thanks I'll give it a go.



Posted by: turboflash

Also had some guys telling me not to put deca and eq in the same cycle because there the same kind of gear. What's your thoughts ?



Posted by: Pirate!

You are trying to mix too many steroids here.

I respectfully disagree with Victor. Adding that sustanon is overkill and may lead to health/emotional problems.

There are a lot of adjustments one's body must make to accomodate hormone changes. Suddenly stacking that much test (even for just a few weeks) is a bad idea, in my opinion.

Leave the EQ out.

Weeks
1-10 Deca 250 mg/wk
1-12 Test E 500 mg/wk
HCG

This will do wonders.

I know you are a fan of sust. I frown upon sustanon to begin with and in my opinion, it's only good for front loading (unless you use over 1gr/wk).

Since he has it, might as well use it. Once his body shuts down and stops making it's own test, I don't think it matters all that much if he adds some sust to the front. If I thought it would cause him harm (more harm I should say), I wouldn't advise to do so. As you know, all of the sust doesn't start working right away. The added prop in the sust is really all we want from it. So I'm not sure if I would say he is "suddenly stacking that much", in the first few weeks, the test e hasn't kicked in yet, only the dbol. So in reality, the only things working are the dbol and prop from the sust. Than gradually the other esters start to kick in.

He does not need it, I agree with that, especially since he is using dbol to front with as well. But if I had it, I'd toss it in...as if it was prop. IMHO.

Great, 300mg a week is the min I would use. So you have 10 weeks worth if you take 300mg a week.

Posted by: turboflash

sust to front with for the first 2 to 3 if you want. Take 250mg 3X a week. (M/W/F)

Will I be only taken Sus first and then after its all gone start the test E, deca, eq or?

Mon/Thrs. shots:

250mg test E (1-12) TOTAL 500mg
200mg deca (1-10) TOTAL 400mg
200mg EQ (1-10) TOTAL 400mg



Posted by: turboflash

Like This:
Tues/Friday
250mg Sus (1-3)

Mon/Thrs. shots:
250mg test E (1-12) TOTAL 500mg
200mg deca (1-10) TOTAL 400mg
200mg EQ (1-10) TOTAL 400mg



Posted by: VictorZ06

No, take everything in the beginning together. Run the cycle as planned, but along side it, run the sust.

250mg sust (1-3) TOTAL 750mg (M/W/F)

250mg test E (1-12) TOTAL 500mg
200mg deca (1-10) TOTAL 400mg
200mg EQ (1-10) TOTAL 400mg

PCT: start week 14

Im with pirate on this one! Too many drugs in my opinion.

This is only your fourth cycle, thats nothing. I was still running 8 week cycles of 500mg/w of test only and getting great results for a few cycles. Then once results became minimal, I added another compound for a few more cycles and so on.

I have done alot more cycles than you and Im still not consuming the amount of drugs that you are. Im not a fan of mixing too many compounds, its just not neccesary and its unhealthy. Your well over a gram of gear a week already and your planning on stacking 5 compounds. Fuck that.

Hopefully you will get regular bloodwork done.



Posted by: turboflash

How's this look?

Ok, I may save sus for next cycle.

Can I mix some shots so I'm not sticking so much?

250mg test E (1-12) TOTAL 500mg
200mg deca (1-10) TOTAL 400mg
200mg EQ (1-10) TOTAL 400mg



Posted by: VictorZ06

You can mix all three if you wish, they are all oil based. Good luck!

Would you mix or just do 4 dif site injection
Hey why do you think shadocam and pirate are so against the sus?
My last cycle was test e / deca / sus seemed to work good.

Well, adding the sust is a bit much and I do agree with them to be honest.

But on the other hand, if I had only 12 vials left, I would personally use them to front since it's not enough to run another cycle with. No biggie. If you didn't have the dbol as a kick, I'm sure they would probably be more for it.

With your program, I would take two shots a week. If your glutes are too hard to do, hit your quads, they are much easier. Left/right - M/Thrs. Keep us posted.

Thanks for all your info



Posted by: zedg

dude what the hell is this advice? Is this your answer to everything? It clearly shows that you have got a very little tiny knowledge on how to put on muscles.
I would not reccommend that cycle to a horse. Lets hope researchers can harness and enhance neurogenesis, so it could lead to improved treatments for people with brain like yours.
I rest my case.

Pct ??

looking at doing clomid and nolva for PCT, Need some recomendations on amounts.

Turbo I think you might look into running 3-500iu of HCG every 4-5 days during the cycle starting day one week two.

On the PCT I think you can go with either nolva or clomid (plenty of old threads on PCT dosing), will you be running any AI on cycle?



Posted by: raza abbas

turboflash, Its good to know every body’s opinion and educate ur self but in last u have to stick with 1 opinion so I suggest go with victorZ06 cuz from the first day he is the one who educated me and clear my mind in the world of bodybuilding … if u like to see my pic go check them out its all victorZ06 knowledge that i use. I use his experience and u can see the results of my first steroid cycle ever…

I also respect other member’s knowledge like shadowcam, mudge and built etc etc so take their advice too but V for vvvvvvvvvictorZ06.

Be safe.

Is this what you have currently, or is this your first ever cycle? I'm about to do my first cycle and I'm only doing test for 10 weeks. Keeping it simple has it benefits.
PCT-I'd run Palumbo's recommendations. Nicely thought out and very thorough.

Here's the article:

POST CYCLE THERAPY

Whenever one considers stopping an anabolic steroid cycle, it is extremely important to wean yourself off of the drugs very slowly. For instance, if someone were taking 1000mg of sustanon per week, they would not want to just abruptly stop taking everything. The problem with just “stopping” a cycle, while taking such a high dosage of steroids, is that you may suffer the very unfortunate fate of “crashing”. In bodybuilding circles, when we talk of “crashing” we are referring to the situation whereby the user abruptly stops taking any exogenous anabolic steroids yet they also have no endogenous (natural) production of testosterone (due to the temporary shutdown
of their pituitary gland from all the aromatizing steroids the user is taking). Usually it takes approximately 2-3 weeks for natural testosterone to start being produced. It is during this 2-3 week period that the user is extremely vulnerable to viruses (caused by a suppressed immune system), low sex drive (caused by a low testosterone level), and worst of all, lean muscle losses (also caused
by low testosterone levels). How can we prevent this “crash” of the endogenous hormonal systems from occurring? First off, in the first week, it is a really smart idea to slowly lower the amounts of all injected anabolic steroids (bring injected testosterone levels immediately down to 500mg per week). Secondly (week 2), go off all oral compounds and stop all injected anabolics (with the exception of long-acting injected testosterones—keep them at 500mg per week). It is a good idea to
stay on long acting testosterones (such as testosterone cypionate or testosterone enanthate) as opposed to short acting ones (such as testosterone propionate or testosterone phenylpropionate) because the long duration esters will slowly leave the bloodstream over the course
of 3-4 weeks (therefore, there will always be some hormone present) during which time the user’s body will have a chance to start producing endogenous testosterone. Thirdly (around week 4), following the last dose of injected
testosterone, the user should start a 2 week course of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). Every second day, the user should inject 2000 IU’s of HCG. HCG is a hormone that mimics the effects of the pituitary hormone Luteining Hormone (LH). LH, in men, stimulates
the leydig cells of the testicles to produce testosterone (this will effectively “kickstart” the inactive testes).
Lastly (around week 6), Clomid (clomiphene citrate) should be administered orally at a dose of 50mg two times per day (for 2 weeks). Clomid is a synthetic estrogen that, in men, can perform two functions: a) Clomid antagonizes estrogen receptors (somewhat
inhibiting the estrogenic side effects of aromatizing anabolic steroids).b) Clomid mimics the effects of the hypothalamic hormone Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GRH). In humans, GRH stimulates the pituitary gland to produce LH and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). This final role of Clomid, then, is to help awaken the pituitary gland that has been suppressed from the heavy anabolic steroid cycle
that was just recently ceased. Once the last Clomid pill has been swallowed, it is time to allow
the body to restore its natural endogenous hormonal system to normal. This restoration may take upwards of 2-4 weeks. I suggest staying off all synthetic anabolic steroids for at least 6-8 weeks following the ingestion of the last Clomid pill. This “break” should give your liver cells adequate time to detoxify themselves and your muscle cell receptors enough time to, once again, become receptive to anabolic stimuli.

SUMMARY:
- HCG: 2000mg every second day for two weeks
- Clomid: (start 2 weeks after conclusion of cycle) 50mg two times per day for two weeks
- Aromatase Inhibitor: Arimidex (.5mg every other day) or TESTOSTOLYZE (5 pills every day)

That is a very similar PCT protocol to what I use and works very well for me and many others.



Posted by: juggernaut

the only thing stopping me is that you need to inject in the fatty area of your abs and that frrreaks me out.



Posted by: nkira

frrreaks YOU? OUT?.......you must be joking!....<Rubs sore abs>..ummm....ok, may be not.

I really do like victorZ06 knowledge, and Im running the cycle. 1st week went well. I will be turning it up everyweek as cycle goes on.



Posted by: juggernaut

agreed on mudge and built. Dont know much about the others, but from what Ive seen, they seem above average. Also, Pirate knows some good shit too.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Bro, this is the easiest thing in the world to do. You don't even feel it! I wish I could take all my AAS via sub-q. If 90 yr. old diabetics can do it, you shouldn't have a problem. Good luck and keep us posted.

Posted by: juggernaut

Next time. I'm a newb right now, and want to do this singularly in terms of injections. Once I get used to pinning, I'll do it. And besides, I really dont know much about HCG yet.



Posted by: Shadowcam

You can inject HCG intra-muscular but Sub-Q is a far easier option especially if your pinning more frequently during a cycle.



Posted by: turboflash

Strength is off the chart! Diet is clean Running around 60/25/15 at 4000Cal & 400g protein a day. I will increase calories with training intensity. Muscle look real full, and vascular! Body fat up just a little, abs still in.

HCG for PCT? And in those amounts? I thought the consensus was that it is best to run HCG during a cycle (from week 3), timing the last shot of HCG with the last shot of your average long-ester AAS (Test E etc). This is mainly in order to avoid shutting the boys down in the first place but also because it converts to something which impacts the HPTA so if you use it for PCT then all you're doing is putting off the crash not softening it. Or am I wrong?

What do you mean "putting off the crash"??

I mean HCG itself reinforces the shutdown of the HPTA by aromatising or being prostagenic or some feedback loop like that... the article someone cut and pasted talked about how to avoid the crash and I thought the advice about longer esters was sound but that on HCG was not. Your balls might kick back in but the other bits of the axis (hypothalamus and/or pituitary) will stay surpressed because of the HCG... or something like that.

Lots of posts on cycle advice on this board: most say you should run HCG at 300-400 units every 3-4 days from week 3 to the last shot. There is also evidence, I believe, that using HCG in too high doses desensitises the leydig (?) cells.

Just trying to clarify before loads of newbies desensitise their balls...

I'll see if I can dig out a decent post on this.

Big problem out of Test E / 4 weeks left
