Hey John I sent you a PM on Monday to review my cycle. Have you had a chance to review? I would really appreciate your feedback.
I can share cycle with everyone else on here after you've had a chance to review. Thank you in advance.

JohnyB

I'm backed up on PM's but feel free to ask here brother.

Mr. HeavyIron/John Connor,

First, I could praise you all day long for how wise and awesome I have come to believe you are. I have so many questions I would like to ask.

Second, I know I would be wasting much of your time with all my questions so I have decided to ask merely one. Hopefully you can help me out.

Is there a book, blog, website that holds most, if not all this information regarding all the lingo, testimonies, research article/papers, everything that I would need to fully understand and comprehend the amazing world of AAS? Mainly is there a single source that you would recommend?

I hope that makes some sort of sense. I am not a complete newbie when it comes to AAS but I am still young (22 almost 23) and fresh out of the Army. I guess I am asking more for the reason that I am starting school in January and want to learn to create these gifts for my fellow man. I have a passion not only for biology and chemistry but also helping people and I know that this is a great way to do it.

Edit: I realize that its a long shot and probably impossible to have a single source but if there are several or however many place you could turn me to, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I would start with Llewellyns 10th edition Anabolics.

Heavy, Question for you. I am running my cycle like this and would like your input.
350 Tren h 1/2 E4D
300 Test Enth
400 EQ Bold
I am getting ready to drop the tren and just continue with the Test and EQ, My question is would it be ok to add 200 per wk of Deca for the joints?
It would like this for my last 10 weeks:
Test Cyp 500 to 750 per wk
EQ 600 per wk
Deca 200 per wk.

Thank you for your valued feedback.

Thank you for your valued feedback.

I like to add a compound whenever one is dropped because typically gains will stall if you dont. I would add the deca and up the testosterone to keep gains rolling if it were me.

 

[kobefan234]

I am off AAS for 8 weeks now and I got bloodwork and my Lymphs are high. Why is this? btw I work in a Hospital setting alot.

this test was non-fasted. hence glucose being high

 

[fit4life]

Heavy while running 1500mgs of test for 5 weeks now i got my estrogen checked as a baseline and it was 432.2pg/nl. I asked my doc if i could get a script for Aromison and he did. Two weeks later i get tested again and it was 420.2pg/nl. I was dosing 25mgs daily. Should i have doc bump it up to 50mgs daily? I like aromison b/c its not hard on lipids plus i read it helps produce igf1 b/c i am on gh. i am concerned why it would still be so high? What would be normal range and would u recommend i try letro instead? Thanks so much!

 

[Johnyb]

I'm backed up on PM's but feel free to ask here brother.

Thanks John,

I am prepping for my first cycle and have been doing lots of reading over last few months.
I've put together what I think is a pretty solid cycle for first one. I want to add some really
nice lean muscle (I don't mind adding some extra BF in the process either)

I am 34 been training since 16 but took some time off for bad injury a while back. Been back
in the game for last 18 months. As mentioned above this is fist cycle. I am currently 5'11,
175 lbs and 7%BF.

At this size I am back to my ecto/mesomorph frame... lean and strong but would like to work
my way to overall goal of 200 - 210 lbs and 5-7% BF range where I would like to stay and
maintain for while. Although once I am there I may want more but for now that is my overall
goal I want to shoot for. No not all in first cycle either lol.. I have some patience

I am great at tracking my daily macros, weight foods, measuring etc. For a solid build while on
cycle should I be eating 500 calories above maintenance or even more. I was planning
3400-3500 calories and macros around 40% Protein / 35% Carbs / 25% Fats.

Please let me know what you think of these numbers and if I need to adjust my macros better
while on cycle.

Here's what I've put together based on reading your posts and other treads here.

In short, running Test E and Prop to kickstart things for first 4 weeks and then dropping the Prop
and increasing Test E over cycle. I added SDMZ 2.0 Weeks 9-12 to keep the gains coming but
hopefully keep them lean and dry at this point.

Question: Should prop be run possibly 6 weeks at the beginning or is first 4 weeks only fine?
Question: Would it be best to run SuperDMZ2.0 Weeks 1-4 or Weeks 9-12 per cycle listed below?

For PCT... I've heard mixed thoughts on using Clomid but I see you recommend it in many of
your posts along with Nolva. I read and also been recommended to only use Nolva only and not
Nolva plus Clomid together during PCT. So a lil confused on this issue.

Please check my numbers and provide your honest feedback on this. Thank you so much in
advance mate. I have Test E , Test Prop, SDMZ2.0 and just need to gather up rest of items
so your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Cycle
Weeks 1-4 - Test Prop 100mg EOD
Weeks 1-6 - Test E 500mg Weekly (Mondays, Thursdays)
Weeks 7-8 - Test E 600mg Weekly (Mondays, Thursdays)
Weeks 9-10 - Test E 750 Weekly (Mondays, Thursdays)
Weeks 9-12 - SDMZ 2.0 - 2 Caps Daily (1 cap AM / 1 cap PM w/ food) (or add to beginning Weeks 1-4 if better suit?)
Weeks 1-10 - Aromasin (10mg EOD if necessary)

Optional:
Weeks 11-12 - Test Prop 100mg EOD (in between PCT) (Mon,Wed,Fri,Sun,Tues,PCT)

PCT (14 days after last Test E)
Weeks 13-16 - Clomid 75mg/50/50/50 (two weeks after last pin)
Weeks 13-16 - Nolva: 40/20/10/10
Weeks 13-16 - Aromasin (25/12.5/12.5/6.25mg)

Other Daily Optional Supps
Acnedren (1-3 caps daily)
Taurine (3-5g daily (for back pumps)
Creatine (2x5g Daily)
Glutamine (15-20g daily)
Multi-Vitamin - (1 tab daily)
Krill Oil (2x500mg daily)
Vitamin C (2-3g daily with each meal)
Liv52 Daily (1-2 caps daily) (do I need this stuff or is there something better?)

Thanks in advance,

JohnyB

You realize a baseline is something you get before you start gear to know what your E2 is? If you got your bloods 5 weeks in that is not a baseline. And 432ng/dl means nothing without the ranges attached. Different labs have different ranges. You need to ask for sensitive estrogen essay for males. Usually you want e2 around 20-30. So you are like an ovulating female, actually higher estrogen than an ovulating female. Why are you running 1.5 grams of test? How many cycles have you done before?

 

[fit4life]

^^BP2000, thank you for ur input. U need stats to help me..... 6'2" @ 263lb today. Started training @ 18 i am now 42 averaged around 3 cyles a yr which = 72 cycles under my belt. I pyramid up to 1.5 grams of test for many reasons. I realize what baseline means but this was the best i could do to get comparisons. Midcycle b4 aromison treatment my total estrogen was 432.2ng/ml 2weeks later got tested again it was 420.2ng/ml total estrogens while using 25mgs of script Aromison daily and did not give me a reference range.
So you are saying that 432ng/ml means nothing without ranges? Maybe i should call lab and ask for ranges? I see my doc next week so i should ask him for a sensitive estrogens essay for males? Thanks for some clarification brother Hopefully Heavy can chime in with his professional input to get help me. I am still learning. Thank you again.

 

[BP2000]

Yes the correct way to check estrogen is to ask for an Sensitive Male Estrogen Assay. I'm not sure what your doc gave you. Do you have the paperwork by chance? What is your blood pressure? If you are worried about it you could stay on 25mg of Aromasin and lower your test dose and re-check in a few weeks.

 

[IAMLEGEND1]

I on 150mg HRT per week, I get blood work every 6 months, I want to cycle in between the blood work. I was thinking 12 weeks ON and 12 weeks back to HRT dose, is this enough time to test "normal" on my blood work? I was probably going to bump it to 500mg/week. Test C

Thanks

 

[spartan1]

I have a friend that just picked up Sermorelin or GRF1-Z9 and he was wondering what a reasonable price would be for approx. 10ml? He also wanted to know if this will help with weight loss. Or if there is something better out there that can be used for the purpose of weight loss. It's not for cutting is is for weight loss he is over weight.

Thank you.

 

[heavyiron]

Very close to the referrence range. Not sure I would worry about a minor elevation. You may have been sick at the time of the draw. I would retest.

I am off AAS for 8 weeks now and I got bloodwork and my Lymphs are high. Why is this? btw I work in a Hospital setting alot.

this test was non-fasted. hence glucose being high

Aromasin has a short half life in men. 25mg every 12 hours should control aromatase better, however that's a lot of test to control.

500 cals over maintenence is good for adding mass.

4 weeks on Prop is fine.

9-12 on the SDMZ.

PCT looks a little bit overkill. I would just run one SERM.

Liv 52 is good for liver protection but not sure you will need it.

Yes, you will test normal.

Not sure what the price should be.

Diet and cardio is best for weight loss. However testosterone will help with a good nutrition and weight training plan.

Heavy,

Adex for sure, Caber is likely not needed but you could get labs to check prolactin while on to see.

Wound running Nolva only be fine then on this cycle and drop the Clomid? Or the ladder?

Thanks in advance...

Thanks in advance...

My personal preferrence is using Nolva on cycle for emergency gyno treatment and Clomid for PCT however either SERM is just fine for PCT.

Great thanks bro... Everything is on order and can't wait to start. Only a few more things to come in.

Good luck brother.

Have fun!

Question, I just dropped one of my compounds it was Tren Hex a couple weeks ago. I have since increased my test to 600mg wkly 300 2x's per wk and EQ at 600mg wkly 300mg 2x's a wk. My question is could I throw some A-bombs in the mix now. I would just like some feed back if it will agree with the other compounds or not. Thanks

 

[IAMLEGEND1]

Which orals have the least affect on lipids, if any, in your experience?

Mixing Anadrol with Test and EQ is fine. I like 50mg Anadrol daily myself.
