What's your yearly salary between sponsorships and your own business? Just a ballpark.

PJ,in the offseason i have a shake containing simple sugars and aminos postworkout. a few times a week ill do postworkout cardio (smaller body part days: chest, arms, shoulders). My question is, on these days would it be best to relax for a bit postworkout (drinking the shake) and doing cardio after or going into cardio after my lift then drinking the shake after?

how do you use Proviron?

 

[PJ BRAUN]

Looking fricken amazing in the new banner!

Thanks good lookin!

What are your thoughts on equipoise for mass?

All steroids essentially can be used for mass.

Hey PJ, just watched you new Chest training vid. on MD that was uploaded today. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you!!

Great Vid!

Thanks!!

PJ since your a competitor, how long does post show bloat last ? i am back on a clean diet and doing cardio and its freaking offseason!!! i cheated the day after and that was it. that was a week and a half ago and i still have horrible bloat!! i look like damn Michelin man. i did get really really dehydrated and took a diuretic the day of the show, so im guessing this is just the rebound and will take time? im only up 15 lbs but it is pure water, siting right on my stomach, like its pissing me off because it wont go away, it looks horrendous. its off season and i just dieted for 16 weeks strait, and im still NOT CHEATING because this damn bloat !

That will go away soon. Be caustious of sodiuma nd introduce foods you were not eating on your diet slowly. keep the cardio in for a while and let everything ease back to normal.

Got a couple ?s..You said for offseason a good cycle for putting on mass would be Test C,Tren, and possibly an oral like DBol or Anadrol. As you stated b4 u would normally take 750-1000mg a week of test, how man shots do u usually split thus up to? I plan to take 100 mg Dbol first 6 weeks w test and stay on test for 12weeks jw when would u add tren into cycle??? Also once 12weeks is up how much time do u suggest for recovery b4 started another almost identical cycle just substituting Dbol for anadrol and test C for test E.....

Do the shots 3 times a week. If your gonna do the dbol for 6 do teh tren for the next 6 and i suggest taking abreak for 8 weeks after something aggressive like that. make sure you use a comprehensive PCT protocol.

... great response vid!!

lol

Shit just got real

lol

almost 21" arms cold and lean, damn!

eh, not too shabby.

PJ, question about your diet. Do you count proteins from your carb sources or only count the complete proteins? I've heard some reputable people say do it one way and the other say the complete opposite. I just don't want to be taking in too little protein while cutting and lose muscle or take in too much protein while dieting and hinder fat loss.

I never count protein from my carb sources!!

What's your yearly salary between sponsorships and your own business? Just a ballpark.

LOl, i dont think its appropriate to discuss that but its definitely more than a starting salary for a school teacher or a police officer but much less than a Dr

PJ,in the offseason i have a shake containing simple sugars and aminos postworkout. a few times a week ill do postworkout cardio (smaller body part days: chest, arms, shoulders). My question is, on these days would it be best to relax for a bit postworkout (drinking the shake) and doing cardio after or going into cardio after my lift then drinking the shake after?

I would just so the cardio right away and then have the shake. in a perfect world you would have the shake, recover for a whiel and then go do some cardio but thats not really time effecient.

how do you use Proviron?

Can you be more specific?

how do you use Proviron?

Can you be more specific?

I stay on Testosterone, NPP and Master all year long, Now that I am wanting to stay big and lean year round instead the so called off season bloat , I was wondering if I should stay on Prov all year with my Master. just wanted your thoughts.

 

[Night_Wolf]

PJ, what's your opinion on Metformin during cutting? I'm shooting for 7% body fat, maybe use Met on high carb days? (yes I'm on gear too)

 

[AnimalCage]

PJ thanks for your advice I have never used PCT, probably bad! What would you suggest I use and when? I'm not sure I am going to run Tren at all bc decided to run 8week cycle any thoughts bc seems like it would be pointless for only last 2 weeks since I'm doing 8weeks? 750mg Test for 8weeks and Dbol for 6weeks. I just started the Dbol and test 2 weeks ago.

 

[AnimalCage]

This was best PCT I have found. Again never used PCT before prob reason have always lost good amount of gains but luckily have noot ever seen signs of gyno! So I guess I'm fortunate! also any input on running Tren during 8 week cycle would be awesome. You think it would be bad to run it as of now for last 6 weeks w Dbol and test?

Prince posted that video in another section, so I guess I'll relay my response here! You're looking solid as fuck bro, and your chest is a trophy winner. Keep up the good work!

PJ.., Congrats on Fern Assard winning her class at the Cutler Classic in woman's physique. I worked with her in 06 for a few weeks on carb cycling.

Also, our friend Jeann in Santa Maria won athlete of the month over at bb.com..

Anyway, I'll see you at the Cal...

Good luck man....

Any chance of a day in the life video in the future?

Yes. When PJ comes to Florida for my wedding, he's coming one week early to do extensive shooting for IMLs. Almost a training camp.

 

[Buckeye Fan]

Can't wait Aaron!!! You and PJ are awesome!!!

 

[spicyer]

PJ, your obviously very passionate about which compounds and at what levels you feel they are appropriate. When you discuss hgh dosages are you referring to pharma grade? Also, as you've pointed out, the more is better mentality is not always best. In your opinion what is the most iu's a male bb'er should take per day?

 

[Aaron Singerman]

Can't wait Aaron!!! You and PJ are awesome!!!

Thanks, Brotha! We appreciate your support!

 

[HAASMASS]

Hey PJ, Id like to run a test and tren cycle like this:
wk 1-10 test p (700 mg's)
wk 1-10 tren a ( 400 mg's)

My question's to you are
1. should the tren be higher then the test?
2. Is this the best ratio for a summer cut to get as shredded as possible?
3. should i bump up the test at week 6 to keep the gains rolling?

Thanks big guy!

 

[HardcoreTraining]

I dont think its good to do ANYTHING, especially an oral all year long!!

Not a fan!

Its very hard to get pharma grade so i am referring pretty generally...off season if its pharm I think 5-6 is plenty

1-NO and I think Test P is a shitty idea
2-Diet is the key to getting shredded
3-no
Thanks big guy!

What are you doing now?

 

[PJ BRAUN]

Guys i apologize for not posting and answering questions everyday! I am 2 weeks out now, energy is low and I am swamped with work, but I will do my best to keep answering!

 

[drizzyjake]

Well right now I have been hitting them twice a week. Once by themselves the other with back. I have been doing a little but of everything. Like could u shoot me a great routine? Also could I use tren as a mass builder if so could I still use test p or should I use e?

 

[drizzyjake]

My diet is pretty good. I usually do 3 different exercises with 3 sets each usually 8 reps or so. Barbell curl. Preacher curl, then maybe concentration curls

 

[HAASMASS]

why is test prop a shitty idea haha??
test P (1-10)
tren a (1-10)

 

[IrishAnimal11]

Hey PJ looking in great shape for your upcoming contests!!

Have a few questions - be much appreciated with your input:

1) How old were you when you did your first cycle and previous to that how long were you training natural?

2) What would you recommend for a first cycle and in what dosage for someone who has everything else (diet,supplementation,rest) dialed in and trains hard? Some people say test only others say a few meds mixed, but wanna hear it from an experienced Bodybuilder!

3) What would you recommend as an off-season cycle and pre-contest/summer cycle - either for a first-timer or a regular user?

Best of luck in the Cal and Junior Nationals!

Support from Ireland,

Dave
