Q & A with John Connor Expert AAS advisor

[John Connor]

Thanks heavy been interested in learning about EPO and your so knowledgable and have learned a lot from you. My last cycle of GP EQ was incredible with CARDIO and weight training i was able to build so much more endurance it was crazy! So EPO got me thinking soooo - I appreciatte it your input, thanks!

You are very welcome brother.

Hey John,

Just a few questions I need clearing up after reading through this thread - I am knew to learning about AAS and I plan to follow your protocol for a first timer's cycle.

1) When I start the first timer's cycle when should I get blood work done to determine estradiol levels?

2)Should I use HCG and Aromasin from the very first week of the cycle regardless or should I wait till sides begin to show?

3) Is your PCT protocol effective for any future cycles? Say for example I was going to go on test e, tren and deca for bulking in the winter :

Test e - 500-750mg
Deca - 400mg
Tren - 225mg

4) What about nolvadex in the PCT? I don't know if I will be prone or will get gyno but if that happens should I add in nolva or would the PCT you have designed suffice?

5) any other advice for a first timer i.e important do's and dont's

Thanks man!

1. half way through the cycle.
2. Yes, from day one.
3. Typically, yes
4. Clomid is usually fine to offset gyno concerns but Nolva is usually a bit better for gyno.
5. Diet is critical in bodybuilding. Hire a nutritionist and learn your body. Keep a diary of everything you eat and count macros.

more question john
So at the time I did the pro hormone the cholestasis started at the end of first week of pct I asked my doc as to which might have caused it he said it could have been the pro hormone or the tamoxifene cause he said that it doesn't mean I stopped the ph already at that time it couldn't have caused it, he said that even if the ph was already stopped at the time of the pct it still could have caused the swelling of the duct and just manifested physically 1 week into pct but form my understanding drug induced cholestasis gets better once the drug causing it is stopped? Is it a possibility that it wasn't the ph but the tamoxifene instead being not properly dosed, dirty, or it wasnt tamoxifene but a different chem?
Btw the tamoxifene that I got was kinda brown in color and had a really strong chemical/alcohol smell

right now I'm thingking of a really low dose of test c mybe bloodwork before then 200mg for 4 weeks then bloodwork again then go into pct what would you suggest a alternative Serm for me if I was to avoid tamoxifene?

I agree with your doctor.

Clomid may be used instead of Nolva or you could possibly lower the Nolva dose next time.

Hello heavy/john,

Would like to get your thoughts on a cycle, this will be my first cycle of this kind,

Test E. 500mg/wk. Weeks 1-8
Test E- 750mg/wk weeks 9-12
D-bol. 20mg/day. Weeks 1-4
D-bol- 20mg/day. Weeks 9-12
Primal Male- Weeks 1-12
Exemestane
Aromasin 12.5mg/day. Weeks 1-14

HCG
2500iu every third day- week 13 and 14

PCT
Clomid- 100/100/100/50 weeks 15-18
Aromasin 25mg/day 3 weeks 15-18
Primal Male- Weeks 11-18

Does every thing look in line?

To get the benefit from the d-bol at the end I would keep running it while the Test ester clears so through week 13.

Might run the HCG at least 3 weeks.

Heavy,

I have a buddy who seems to respond poorly to AAS. Hes been training for 6 years, hes diet is impeccable (400g protein, etc. he almost never cheats), goes to bed at 10 pm, he basically devoted all his time to this sport. He has trouble gaining muscle, but hes not classic ectomorph as he gains fat more easily. When on a lot of calories (4500+ he gains fat a lot, even with super clean nutrition).
He tried cycles with 500-750 mg Test, 50 mg Dbol, 350 mg Tren A and such, hes gaining on this but veryyyy slowly, I was like wtf. He checked his thyroid, it works perfectly. Do you have any advice for him regarding nutrition, training or AAS? (Hes 27, 6ft, about 210lb, don't know body fat, but hes lean atm)

Thanks!

Thanks for this helps alot!!

One more question: I can't acquire Aromasin from my source, he gave me arimidex buts its very expensive for a 28 tab box so was going to run it at .5mg every day?? Could something else be used in its place?

Thanks

[littlekev]

Ok heavy my next post is alot sorry but i need your help again

 

[littlekev]

Im 5'11, 220-223 vary,roughly 15% bf, age 27, training off and on since 18 but seriously for 5 years now. I cycle i know this isnt anabolic zone but i figured it would be important to list cycle and training to let everyone know what im working with.
Current cycle=
test prop 300 mg wk
anavar 50mg ed
t3 50mcg ed
clen 2 on 2 off
1mg adex ed
500 iu hcg 2x wk
50 mcg ghrp6, 50 mcg mod grf 3x ed

Now Im cutting eating 6 solid meals ed, 7 some days. I have been doing clean fats low carb high protein. about 300 gr protein ed, 150 gr carbs, and 2700 cals

So Im not getting results i am hoping for so far, yes im only 3 1/2 weeks in but im stuck at about 220, i dropped 10 lbs first week, mostly water. last two weeks nothing. So im doing 2 miles fairly intense cardio, not to intense as i dont wanna burn to much muscle. I usually do 10% to 12% incline for 30 min at about 3.6 to 3.8 mph then walk slower for the last little stretch. Im doing high rep workouts with low weight. Also doing abs and core eod. usually one good abs exercise and one good core exercise.
Example= chest= flat bench 4 sets 15 to 20, usually till failure
cable flys 4 sets 15 to 20 same usually till failure
incline hammer strength machine same as above.

My goals are to have dense solid looking low bodyfat muscle, obviously.

Meal example= my dinner tonight was 6 oz lean beef, 3 cups spinach, 1/4 cup avacado, light light amount of salsa, and 1/2 cup asparagus.
My meals are all this clean except for a stray prob once maybe twice a week, and by a stray i mean a bad carb source like lean beef but with a bun (burger) etc. I do one cheat meal a week, with a desert. I dont drink alcohol so no carbs from that.

My questions are= Should i go keto and drop carbs completely
Am i eating enough protein since using t3
is my training wrong, should i go heavier?

Mainly just any tips would be great, and if i left out any info please just say i will post, thanks alot

Macros again=
Protein=300 grams/day =1,200 kcals/day
Fat=115 grams/day=1,035 kcals/day
Carbs=150 grams/day=600 kcals/day

To be honest very few people have a perfect diet, train hard and use real drugs and gain little. I would say one of those three or all need more work.

I like HGH but overall peptides are just another sup in the arsenal. I prefer steroids honestly.

As long as a guy knows how to diet and train hard I don't have a problem with him using aas at a higher body fat.

Any AI will work. Maybe try to get Letro.

 

[heavyiron]

Here is a back pic heavy...where do you think I stand.I just bulked up almost 17 pounds in 7 week's

Maybe 16-18%. You could always go do a Bod pod and get a very close estimate.

You are holding fat in your lower back for sure.

 

[parsifal09]

heavy,

is carb cycling good to get lean mass while minimizing bf, or mainly for cutting??

ive changed goals,since the tren is kee[ping me relatively lean

i wanna add as much mass as possible without putting on a lot of bf

 

[msumuscle]

Heavster,
Is there any reason to blast HCG at the end of the cycle if you've run it throughout cycle? I'm on a 10 week tren A/test P run and have been running HCG at 500 IU 2x/wk. Was thinking about blasting it at 1000 IU EOD the last two weeks before PCT. Do you think this will be more optimal then just running 500 IU 2x/wk right up to the end of my cycle?

is my training wrong, should i go heavier? I would lift as heavy as possible at least one set each excercise.

Mainly just any tips would be great, and if i left out any info please just say i will post, thanks alot You may consider interval and/or fasted cardio.

Carb cycling may be used to cut, bulk or recomp. Basically you just add more carbs on a bulk on training days.

I like a little extra HCG at the end of a cycle. Its a great way to increase the mass of the testes to output testosterone sooner.
