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..??

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

[timguinness]

Thank you Sam. I appreciate your time. I'll give that a shot, and let you know how it goes. Much love from Tampa, brother.

i havent used test u, though i plan to give it a try in my next off season. your dose is going to depend on what you would normally use, but me personally, i would be sure to front load the hell out of it because its going to take awhile to be effective. to simply maintain, i'm sure you dont need much. maybe 500mg EW. at that dose you'll probably still grow too. i'm sure you can get away with 1x a wk injects.

as far as estrogen control, look into arimasin. from what i understand, it is the only AI that does not negatively affect your cholesterol profile. i understad your situation, but if you can make an AI work, you'll be much better off, IMO

i had a couple other small thoughts, but when i first tried to resond yesterday, my message got lost and i'm rewriting. if theres anything else i'm missing here, let me know

I would like to start by saying that I have participated in several different forums over the years, and this one seems to be mostly populated by individuals who are intelligent, educated and eager to learn. Very refreshing. I wish I'd been here a long time ago.

Anyway, I am somewhat advanced in years, and I have always been fairly gung ho, but I feel that my days of the serious cycle should probably taper off. I am no longer a competing athlete, and standard HRT from my doc is woefully under dosed, and I would like to keep this body for as long as possible.

A fairly new ester,Test Undecanoate is rapidly becoming the choice of docs in Europe and Asia, and is gaining a lot of attention here in the U.S. However, the only dosing info that I can find is directly related to HRT, usually 500 -1000 mgs every few months. That's right, months. I like the idea of less frequent injections, but I would like to still juice enough to maintain my normal physique and workout schedule. Have you heard of any athletes using this compound to any effect, and what would be the optimum dosing schedule/quantity to simply maintain a reasonably supraphysiological concentration of test in the system? I could just get blood work done every couple of weeks, but that's getting a little expensive and inconvenient for my taste. I like to keep my testing down to once after 5-8 weeks of PCT, or a couple times a year.

I have always been a bit of a cheater, and apart from the occasional creatine or protein powders, I know next to nothing about the newer types of natural supplementation. I have read volumes on the subject, but it's hard to know who has a corporate agenda without some first hand knowledge.

I am 6' 4" 254, have held that for about 2 years now. I will turn 47 this month. Do an assload of cardio 6 days a week. Have been between cycles now for a little more than a year, and I can see some atrophy everywhere no matter how much time in the gym, along with increasing body fat. 12% to 16% over last 12-15 months. Currently holding at around 18.1 nMol/L total test and .280 nMol/L free test.

Also, at the risk of becoming long winded, has anyone ever heard of side effects from long term low dose clomid/nolva. Have been using these compounds for many years almost non stop. They have been extremely effective at recovering and keeping steady levels during PCT/ between cycles, and I shy away from Adex and Letro because my lipid profile has always hovered around high-normal, and my diet is far from ideal. Any ideas on these matters would be most helpful. Oh yeah, I'll try to keep future posts to a 100 word maximum!

looks fine. if you're cutting run the adex a little higher to keep estrogen lower. .5mg EOD

appreciate the input sam. one more thing, i just picked up some liquidex that is 1mg per ml, liquidt3 that is 200mcg per ml, and liquidclen is at 200mcg per ml. now, since it is liquid would you run all of these slightly higher than the tab form? or just measure out the same dosages that i would use if i had the tabs? and also, would i start using the adex as soon as i was starting or about the 3rd or 4rth week when the test was kicking in?

Hey Sam, I was wondering your thoughts on "priming"..?? I know it seems to be alot of opinions about this. For pro's I guess its a "no brainer" after contest "you are Primed..!!" to say the least...but for the average guy using..is this effective...?? or is it just a perceived thing..I mean obviously if one is striped of BF and goes "on" they are going to have perceived huge gains in the mirror... are cycle's started with low low body fat more effective..research I have found is like 50/50 but then again not from pro's either...thx, when you get time...

Hi Sam. I'd like to run my first cycle soon, but believe I may be prone to gyno as I have preexisting pubescent gyno (puffy nipples, no fatty tissue though). What precautions would you suggest I take to make sure I don't suffer adverse estrogen related side effects?

I plan on running Test E @ 400mg/week and an AI throughout (Arimidex) and using Aromasin and Clomid in my PCT. Do you think this will cut it?

I've also been recommended to use HCG from Day 1 until the beginning of PCT @ 500iu/week (split into 2 shots). What is your take on this?

Thanks for reading.

alright sam, ive had a change of heart.. haha, since naps is still on vacation and i'm a little tight with money, ive decided to take another route. can beastdrol be used in a cutting cycle per say? (beastdrol aka superdrol PH)

i plan on running my cycle as follows

beast wk 1-4 at 30 mg
test e wk 1-10 at 500 mg (maybe go to 15 wks)
be running t3 and clen, and adex every 3rd day at .5mg.

and nolva ran as pct at 40/40/20/20

is that enough pct for a cycle like this?

sorry for having so many questions, i do do my research i just like to check up on what some of you boys think before i go through with it.. haha appreciate it!

[sam1976]

20mg tbol will do nothing. go with at the very least 40mg. 50 would be better. for pct, on wk 2-4, go with 50mg

Hey Sam was wondering if you can just give me a round about answer on what I can expect from this cycle and also what you think about it.

GP test enanth 500mg per week broken into two injections wk 1-10

GP Tbol 20mg per day wks 1-5

GP Anastrozole .5mg EOD wk 1-10 and 2 more weeks there after.

PCT: Clomid 100mg per day for 4 wks

This is my first cycle ever. I weight 150lbs, at 5'7 i'm 25yrs old and been training hard ever since i was 18. I also know how to diet and eat according to what im trying to do with my body.

[sam1976]

looks like you've done your homework, bro. good by me you could add a low dose oral for the first 4-6 wks if you wanted

Hi Sam, I'm new here and would love your opinion on my potential first cycle.

Things to consider:
1) that it's my first cycle, I'm only going to be using 1 compound.
2) I have puffy nipples that developed at puberty. I am to understand this makes me prone to gyno (hence the AI)
3) I want lots of kids one day, so I want my balls insured.:-)

Proposed Cycle
Weeks 1 -12
Test-E - 400mg/Week (2 x 200mg injections)
Weeks 1 - 14
Arimidex - 0.5mg E2D
HCG - 250iu E3D

PCT - 2 weeks after last Test-E injection // 1 week after last HCG Injection
Weeks 15 - 20
Aromasin - 25mgED//25mgED//12.5mgED//12.5mgED
Clomid - 100mgED//50mgED//50mgED//50mgED/25mgED//25mgED
