Q and A with TwisT and heavyiron

[Arnold]

Cant find the answers that you want or have an issue with your cycle? Feel free to post them here, and we will answer you as soon as we can.

I'm T. I've been around the game for a while, began powerlifting at 17, evolved into a amateur bodybuilder, but went off that path to go into more of the AAS research and personal training fields. I've used almost all of todays common compounds, and a few of those that aren't quite so common (anymore). My passion for AAS began as it is such a limited field, and there is so much to know and explore through research. Every day bodybuilders evolve, and I believe a huge part of this evolution is the advancement of these performance-enhancing chemicals. I spend my time reading technical journals, personal training locally and over the internet, and playing hockey when I'm taking a day off from the gym.



I have used many of these compounds on and off for over 23 years. I have a love for science as it relates to chemical enhancement and have spent countless hours reading about their effects. I believe that safe and responsible use begins with an understanding of these chemicals. My desire is that everyone will educate themselves before using any medications. I am a chemical consultant on various forums on the net where I lead the chemical enhancement sections. I specialize in designing custom cycles based on the experience level and goals of an individual. Many times I troubleshoot unwanted symptoms from improper cycling. I love learning and teaching in this evolving field.

Hey guys thanks for all the info! I can read for days now...I got a question on my next cycle..I'm running test prop and masteron 200 200mg per ml I wanted to see your thoughts on dosage and schedule for the masteron.

This will be my second cycle. First cycle is test E 500mg week 10weeks

 

[TwisT]

A good goal for mast is about 300-600mg/week. With the prop ester, you need to inject at least every other day. 50mg EoD will give you 350mg/week, while 75mg EoD will give you 525mg/week. Being your second cycle, I think you would do just fine and see results from 50mg eod.

The masteron I got is GP mast 200..it has the Enthanate 150mg and Prop 50mg. Would I still want to dose this @50mg eod..or would 200mg twice a week work because of the Enth ester?

Seems silly to me to have those two esters together in the same compound... 1/2 ml injections EoD will give you about that. 7 injections over 14 days = 3.5 injections@100mg per injection/week = 350mg/week. But with the enanthate ester, the weekly dose is going to build up. Your first week will be short.

Cool...thanks for the info! Great section man...good work...props to you and Heavyiron

Been doing alot of reading and asking questions mostly Heavyiron lol i bug him all the time wich im very great full for every ones help i have gotten ty

Weeks 1-7: Test C 500mg/week
Weeks 7-15: Test C 750mg/week
Weeks 1-4: Metha-drol 20mg/day
Weeks 1-17: e-control 1 cap ed
Weeks 10-15: dbol 30mg ed
Week 17: Begin PCT

this wht im gonna go with.. had some help setting it up by asking a bunch of questions lol thx HI
wht ya think

wht ya think

That looks solid! The only change I made was moved the dbol at the end back two weeks. While it will still push gains, it helps keep it further away from PCT... in theory not making your PCT more difficult... Idk if I explained that clearly... let me know if you're confused. Other then that, solid!

See clarification in red above.

Week 7 had an overlap of 2 different T doses so I corrected it.

The METHA-DROL is not 20mg but rather 2 caps.

You may consider 500iu HCG on cycle every 4 days to aid in recovery.

ty twist u and heavy are awesome he fixed my mistakes hehe i will move my dbol so ill be done sooner but 14 days after last inject, is correct ? for pct

There is no need to move the d-bol unless you want to move it the other direction closer to PCT. This scheme keeps gains rolling right up until the end of the cycle. I placed the d-bol timing for this very reason.

i will leave it to the end like it was suits me just fine lol
i was reading hcg can cause gyno if used in high doses as well i know 500iu would be ok i was just wondering if tht was true

HCG will raise T levels and that may aromatize to E2 but at 500iu I wouldn't sweat it not to metion your AI will stop the aromatization.

What do you guys think about saw palmetto while on cycle? I have heard people say that it will inhibit gains or could increase estro? I saw that it is in ironmag cycle assist that I just ordered and I was wondering what you guys think about it. I know it is good for the prostate and the hairline from what I could find online. I just don't know how it reacts with AAS. Also do you think that ironmag E control could be enough estro support for a light cycle say 500mg of test I usually use 12.5 mg of aromasin eod to every third day while on cycle?

 

[TwisT]

You wont see it effect your gains to any extent... especially at that dose. Its g2g while on cycle. On Cycle Support is great stuff, I definitely recommend it.

[Nightowl]

I have a few questions:


1. Can I use a 31xgauge for B complex and B12?


2. What is the smallest needle gauge allowed for AAS? Can one use a 27 or 28 for clen, or winny or any AAS? Is there anything smaller than a 25x gauge that can be used?



I have 28 right now for my vitamins, but leaning for less on all levels * if allowed

 

[TwisT]

1- Should be fine, if not you can always use a 29

2- Ive heard of people using a 27, but the lowest I would go is 25 and even that is very tough to push the oil through. You want the needle out of you ASAP, having it sit in you for 5 minutes moving around is really bad for your tissue.

Thanks the on cycle support came in today can't wait to use it next cycle.

I posted this in another thread, but since you're offering "Q&A", well here it goes. To the others, sorry if this is a repeat.

I'm near the end of wk 3 of the below cycle and surprising to me, I have nipple sensitivity and have been battling water retention (retaining one day and dehydration the next/ pssing like crazy). I think I'm doing all the right things, but I thought this would be more under control than it is, especially the sensitivity. Although, I've had issues with gyno in the past, but never used an AI.

wk 1-4...40mg GP Dbol
wk 1-8...500mg GP TestE
wk 1-8 & PCT...12.5mg GP Aromasin ED (switched to EOD for a while, but back to ED)

Also, I started taking 40mg GP Nolva and plan to taper to 20mgs for a week or until sensitivity is gone. Is a little sensitivity normal?

I was planning a blood test for next week to see if my AI dosage was too high, but apparently not. Maybe I should switch to 25mg ED? Seems like a lot for what I'm running, no? Thoughts...suggestions? What other info do you need?

Thanks in advance!

 

[TwisT]

If your at 12.5mg ED now then yes, increase the dose to 25mg ed and see where you at at in 5 days of running that.

How exactly does raising TEST in your system help build muscle?

question about increasing AI dose during PCT:

I have seen many recommendations for people to increase their AI dose during PCT, but don't understand the need to do so. If say, 12.5 mg EOD of Aromasin is keeping estradiol levels in the desired range on cycle, why would we need more AI when we have less test in our system, and less test for the aromatase enzyme to work with?

The typical response is "your E2 levels will be sky high during pct." What is the physiological mechanism for having high E2 with low test? Doesn't E2 primarily come from test?

Thanks for your time

Okay, I thought it best to bring it to you first before I go elsewhere in the pinning sector.

How do one clear the chances with scars with the use of needles?

Is it really better for the Anabolics to go in this way then orals?

Why?

Someone mentioned that it was less on the liver. My friend, that I call Hitler, still says no matter what it still goes through the liver, and is processed.

Spot rotation, dont pin the same muscle in the same week

I have been trying to figure this out,
Ok so primo is the the Safest gear out there. My question is Would it be to harsh on my body if i use 500-600mg a week of primo rather than test e 200-250 mg a week or use them both while cruising?.
Something like
Blast 10 weeks then use 200-250 test e and 500 or 600 primo for 10 weeks?

 

[TwisT]

Blast 10 weeks then use 200-250 test e and 500 or 600 primo for 10 weeks?

You would see some nice gains from that... as long as the primo is real and your willing to pay the big $$ for it. 100% real primo is very hard to come by now, so be aware. But let heavy chip in too, as I believe he is on a blast + cruise routine and I am not.
