Thanks Sam...!!

Hey Sam....was going to place an order soon and thought I would throw in some Helios, if I recall you had said you use it and are happy with the effects. My question is this...was looking at HCL's Helios 50ml bottles.. to be effective what dose every day would you think I would start..?? I have read bobybuilders using over 1mg per day...!! seems like a shit load...?? like anything else im sure, start low...and then increase, but what would be considered low...??? and the most inportant question..I read cardio is a must to burn the "released fat that has entered the bloodstream" then read it's not nec. but helps alot..??? problem is, I don't want to do tons of cardio and burn tooooo many calories that I need to build muscle...I am currently doing cardio 45 min three times a week and seems just fine, as I like to spend more time witn the iron... just want to spot reduce some fat and Im good...what are your thoughts...don't know if just "two" 50ml bottles will be enough...?? I don't have lots to lose, would say I'm maybe thirteen percent now as an overall but of course want to concentrate on dreaded love handles and beltline a bit..diet is clean, but like I said don't really want to calorie restrict to much at the sake of losing any muscle....sorry for the long winded post...one-more

i'm sure 2 bottle would be enough. not only does it have a local effect, but it also works generally to burn fat throughout the body. i would still do cardio and focus on diet for the majority of your fat loss needs. clen or helios is only gonna be the icing on the cake. the site specific fat loss is going to be minor...it may help with just a little more than usually would have been lost in that area. i wouldnt expect a miracle. it wont be like lypo. overall, you want to lose as much fat as you can the good ol fashion way and then the helios will help just a bit more. i have personally not used helios but i've seen its results. start with the smallest possible amount. see how it effects you and work your way up from there

Hi Sam , i'm 9 weeks out from a mjor show in europe . my stats are 5"7 198 pounds . at 8 weeks out i'll be om test propionate-tren a- masteron pinnin' eod . My question is the oral to add in . My last show i used anavar ( 50mg a day ) but this time i'm thinkin' more Winstrol and ( or Halo ) . How should i go about it if let's say i use winny , how many mg a day and how many weeks out 4 or 6 ? And should i switch to halo the last week ( or 2 weeks ) 10mg or 20mg a day ? Also should i use liver 52 when i start the oral ? Thanks a lot man , great thread by the way .

i would add in halo. if you cant afford halo, then go with winny. with halo, i would start at 3-4 wks out. if you were doing halo for 3 wks, i would do somthing like this. wk 3 10mg. on training days, take it preworkout. wk 2, 20mg. split 10mg first thing in AM and 10mg pretraining. wk 1 right into the show, 30mg split into 2 doses a day. it'll get you harder than winny. personally, i would run my liver supps for a few wks after the show...just the way i like to run my contest orals.

yes, i'venever had a use for t4, but i use t3 and clen. the key for me, with t3, is to use as low a dose as possible and slowly build it up over time, as i become used to the dose i've been taking. i've been on it for about 8 wks now, and am only up to 37.5mcg. if you search for a thread called "my take on t3" i go further into my reasoning for this method. it works very well for me. as for clen, i do something similar. i dont like the 2 on, 2 off plan. i start at 20mcg and add 20mcg more every 2-3 weeks. as long as i'm losing fat, i try to stay where i'm at. over time though, i will bump it up to 100 or so mcg. i'll run it this way for 10-15 weeks tops

I posted my schedule I plan to use in the general chat if you want to take a look. Without looking at this before I posted it they sound similar. I had to be a little more conservative with my doing because of what I will have available. Thanks for the input, hopefully I get your blessing on my cycle!

Sam, I was wondering if you ever use t3, t4, or clen? Since there is 52 pages that is a lot of scrolling. If this has already been asked of you just let me know.

hey bro, i realized i havent been keeping up here on the ask sam thread lately. what i would do is run your adex right up to pct starts. that way, you will keep estrogen under control as you begin trying to readjust your body to baseline. if you're running hcg, run that up to 3 days before pct

[yeabuddy]

hey Sam, getting all my stuff for my cycle ordered and set up.

Im gonna run adex at .5 EOD or E3D depending on how I react. Now my question is do I drop the adex after my last injection? or should I run the adex the 2 weeks while the test is clearing out of my system and drop it the day before I start my clomid/nolva? thanks bro!

[timguinness]

hey bro, you know what, i thought i responded to this question back when you posted it. i think that prov is good for keeping sex drive high and for getting a harder, drier look while dieting. i still prefer to use a true AI like adex though. i've used both prov and adex while dieting before. it worked well. personally though, i would rather take masteron, get a similar effect plus possibly gain a little muscle

Better late than never, my friend. I appreciate the response. I think you're absolutely right. I'll definitely add adex and a little mast to this cycle, squeeze every bit of potential out of it. thanx bro

[sam1976]

SAM the man, I havent been on in awhile, i hope you are doing well. So in a few months I am going to do my first cut cycle. I got some Test P and some cut stack (50mg Test, 50 Tren, 50 Mast) trying to figure out best way to run this cycle and also if you think i should include anything else along with it. I know I will prolly pin Cut Stack EOD and Pin Prop EOD so i will be pinning ED...lol

Let me know your thoughts bro

no need for anymore than you have, my friend. it's funny. i've had several guys mention the gp cut stack and ask if they should take anything in addition. it might not look like much, but you've already got 3 completely different steroids there lol!!! it would look like a lot more if each were in its individual bottle. really, these 3 compounds are the trifecta of cutting steroids. combining these is like gold. this cycle will hit with a punch, hard and fast.

you could do something like 1cc cut mix every day and add additional prop to get your test dose where you want it. i can't remember your cycle history off hand. refresh my memory and we can better set you up from there

[sam1976]

this is a really interesting question and i'll be the first to say that i dont know. it is true that fat responds to estrogen and the more fat you have, the more estrogen can effect you. now thinking about this...during pct, i dont think it is as much of a concern since we are using SERMS and possibly a low dose AI to control estrogen, but it certainly is a good reason to not let ourselves get overly fat in general. i found that i've had the best luck in PCT when i've used an AI through the cycle. that way, i'm going in with lower estrogen, which seems to be easier to manage for me. it would be interesting to do a study on fat vs lean steroid users and see what the blood work would turn up

Hey Sam, just posted an article in pct section on "estrogen". In it, it states that the more bodyfat one has, the much greater potential for estrogen release..OK, having them stating that in article, then I'm thinking it must hold true to some degree that when one ends a cycle of AAS and had maintained a lean body in spite of the gains in water and perhaps a little fat while in a bulking phase...the estrogen rebound must be less after cycle in a lean person than one with a greater body fat percentage..?? also while on cycle for that matter..would you think this to be true...?? I realize the estrogen will be produced anyway after cessation of AAS use, but to minimize the rebound effect I would think the least amount of adipose tissue to contribute to the effect the better..?? what's your take..??

[sam1976]

Hey bro, one more question. I personally don't have any experience with, or know anyone with any experience with proviron,(mesterolone). Heard it can be a good anti-estrogen, and a very good addition to any cycle due to it's lack of detrimental side effects to the liver. Have read the article here and done some research on it. Would like your personal take on it though. Thanks for any input. -T
