Ask Sam1976

[sam1976]

Hey I see everybody says ask Sam... I am new to this forum and it's just what I was looking for great forum. I have a couple of threads open about sustaplex 325 and a recent cycle I want to do, I would love to here your opinion if it not to much to ask.
I been running sus325 for 4 week now and no change at 1cc a week. Now I have a thread open on how I want to run this cycle. I can tell you what I have and maybe you can tell me what would be the best way to run it without the sides. I am very prone to gyno I ran a cycle before this one and had to stop a week into the cycle. Which was 30mg dbol sus325 1cc Monday 1st Thursday had to stop on my 2nd week.

This is what I have available not trying to use it all
60mg sus450
19mg sus325
30mg tren e 200
10mg tbols 100 tabs

What would you consider fir a cycle with no sides?

i wouldn' think that 325mg EW would yeild the craziest gains ever, but i would expect, at the least, some gain in water by now. it makes me wonder about the quality of the gear. when you say "60mg sus450", i'm going to assume you mean you have 60ML of sus450. if i were in your situation, i would probably stop the other sus and continue on, using 1cc of the sus 450.

when you said that you had to stop your previous cycle after only 2 wks because of side effects, what do you mean? what sides did you experience? there are drugs to counter side effects. for instance, if you are prone to gyno, it can be controlled. a big part of using AAS is understanding how to control sides. you can be smart and reduce the amount of sides you get by adjusting factors such as drug choice, cycle length and doseage, but every single AAS, while being used at an effective dose, has potential for side effects. on that note, sus has several esters in it that are have different half lifes. if you want to reduce sides, i would consider using a single ester test in the future. the more your hormones are in flux, the more chance there is for side effects.

The sides I had was gyno sides itchy and sore nipples and I combated it with nolva and arimiplex 3-4 weeks. I went to the doctor and everything checked out good.
I was running dbols at 30mg ed and sus325 1cc twice a week total of 650.

Started as of today.
1-12 .5cc 2x week sus450 (total 450mg)
1-2 .75cc 2x week trenE 200 (total 300mg) did 300 to see if any sides after the 2 week going up to 400mg week.
3-12 1.cc 2x week trenE 200 (total 400mg)
1-4 Tbols 10mg Morning 10mg Pre 10mg Post.
1-15 Arimiplex .5eod
15-19 Clomid 50ed

the adex should keep gyno under control from the test. i've found that as long as estrogen is controled, tren doesn't cause me gyno issues. you may find the same. tbol dose is very very low. i'm pretty conservative with dosing, especially when making suggestions to newer users, but i would, at the least take 40mg.

as far as tren e goes, if you're going to experience negetive side effects, you probably wont see any until wks 3-5.

hey guys,

on a regular basis, i've been answering a good number of PMs per day. i've really enjoyed being able to share my thoughts and help so many people improve themselves in this sport that we all love. often times though, i find myself answering the same question a number of times. i got the idea to start this thread so that others, who may want to ask similar questions, might be able to take away the same information shared in this open format vs through private mesages.

so feel free to come on in and ask any questions about diet, training, gear, pct, contest prep, or anything else and i will be happy to give you my opinions, thoughts and share my experiences. at no time will anyone be flamed or made fun of. we're all here to learn. if we come across a topic that i am unsure about, we can take some time to research it and learn together.

Hi Sam! Nice pic, you're looking great! Quick question. I'm making my first order before New Year's, so i can still get the %20 off and the %15 off for board members here. I'm planning to get the 12 Week Lean Bulking Blitz from Naps. My goal is to loose weight and bulk up by spring. I plan on starting this cycle by February if it comes in before then. My stat are as follow:

318lbs
%47 bf (I'm fat yes, lol)
6.0ft tall

I'm 30yrs old and been working out since freshman in high school, participating in sports, football, wrestling, etc. My training is about 2 hours of lifting and 45min of cardio. I go to the gym about 3-5days a week, depending on my hectic schedule. As far as dieting, well.......I eat to much! That's my down fall! By spring or at least summer, I want to lean out tremendously, but at the same time, increase my strength and bulk up! Any ideas as far as dieting and what do use for gear or gear stacks? Thanks Sam!

P.S. Oh.....I have 7 years of PHs experience and 4 years of injects. Done a couple of cycles in the past.

So the tbols i should split it 4 times a day, what do you suggest every 4 or 5 hours,or what way would you suggest for best results? and on the trenE should i keep it at 300 a week or just got with the 400 a week? Thanks Sam

this last contest prep, we ran winny in kind of an interesting way and i was really happy with the end results. at about 6 wks out, i started it at 40mg and ran it at 40mg for 2 wks. i saw results at that dose, no question. it began to dry my muscle out harden me up. after 2 wks at 40mg, we moved it to 50mg for another couple wks. then 2 wks later(which was 2 wks out) we bumped it to 60mg ED. for the final wk, we went to 80mg. everything came together beautifully. i felt that the dose never "felt" stagnant. it was as if the result just keep getting better and better. i wouldn't run gear that way for a non competitive cycle, but for contests, ramping up like that has yielded some good results.

just a little more food for thought...usually, we start our contest cycles at 16 wks out and don't really start adding hardening agents like tren, winny, halo until 6-8 wks. the first show i did, i ran tren for the whole 16 (or maybe 20??)wks, and it seemed to lack a certin punch by the time the show got there, vs everything kind of building into a crescendo, where eveything...drugs, water, manipulation, and diet peak together for the show.

and yea, i would not suggest anavar accept to females. my hands down favorite oral for contest prep is halo. amazing stuff and well worth the high price tag, IMO.

ok thanks for the response and experience with this! i ran a similar cycle like this last year but ill be carb cycling this year and looking to do a show.

thanks again for the insight Sam, very much apprecaited!!

hey lino, thanks. i was the leanest i've ever been in my avatar pic. it is a lot of work to get lean and before i saw the results for myself, i wouldn't have believed i could have done it.

as far as goals go, at your BF%, instead of focusing on getting bigger, you would be much better served to tighten up. if you eat all clean food, focusing on high protein, low callorie protein sources, like white fish, you be surprised to find yourself still growing new muscle while you drop fat. no matter what gear you take, that is just going to come down to your diet and cardio.

i wasn't sure about the stack you were talking about so i went to naps' page to pull it up...

Cycle Length: 12 weeks
Cycle Layout:
Weeks 1-12 GP Sust 270mg every other day
Weeks 1-10 GP Tren Enanth200 every other day
Weeks 6-12 30mg GP Oxan /30mg GP Stan10 every day
Weeks 14-18 50mg GP Clomiphene every day

the orals seem to be a kind of interesting combo. i wouldn't have personally suggested that but i can't say that it won't work. personally, i'm not a big fan of anavar for men. it is a very mild drug and 30mg is very very low. i can see they're looking for a cumulitive effect with the (also low dose) winny. if you try it, you'll have to let me know what you think. the only concern i have is the length. if you do decide to try to cut the BF, you've got some grond to cover. you probably aren't going to be finished in 12 wks. if you decide to go that route, it'll have to be more of a lifestyle change, ya know.

just a side thought. have you been to an MD to make sure your BF isn't due to a medical condition? if you have low thyroid, dieting without thyroid support will make an uphill battle even harder. let me know what you're thinking and if you want some help forming a plan, i'd be happy to help you.

really, 3 times a day should be split enough. you could take 1 1/2 tabs for 2 servings and 1 tab for 1 serving, but as long as you're spliting them up into 2 to 3 doses a day, your blood levels will be plenty stable

Hi Sam! Thanks for the reply. I appreciate all that you do for everyone here.

Well, I hope I can one day be like you, big and lean. Since I have a little more time on my hand, I want to go the gym more for 2011.

Lately, I have been focusing more on cardio, stretching, weight training and working on core. The bf I said before was about 2 years ago. I just had a bf done today at 36%. I still have more ways to go. Since I've been back to the gym this past fall, I've changed my eating habits and been buying good foods at the grocery store. Rather than eating 3 big meals and eating late at night, I've been eating 6 small meals and fruits late at night. I snack on peanuts, nuts, walnuts, bananas and low fat yogurts. I decreased my caffeine consumption, as well sugar. Been hitting cardio mostly for the past couple of months. I'm going to hold off on taking gear and focus more on loosing fat. I will just put them aside.

The stack you have right from Naps. I actually bought the stack today, along with deca, tren, sus, test and HGH inject. I also ordered, dianabol, anadrol, arimidex, clomid, nolva, clen and T3 orals. I had to take the advantage of the 20% and 15% off sale before Jan 1st. Had to stock up, lol. Any changes or add ons to the stack? Also, would clen and T3 be good for cycle alone for less than a month?

The only medical issue I have is overweight. I attend an annual check up, including blood work. Surprisingly, no issue with tri and cholestrol. Blood works are fine. My relatives are docs, family practice, pediatrician, endocrinologist and internal medicine. And my mom is a medical technologist working at 2 labs. So she does my blood work. Although, she doesn't know that I've been taking supplements and gear. It's tuff hiding them around the house, especially in the ref! LOL
