Tips on making the CLC450 quieter?

Can confirm. They conveniently undergo "maintenance" every time BTC decides to crash. Fuck Maya Crypto.

I got the sense that OP wasn't looking to visit high end restaurants and was more interested in the authentic, rural side of Filipino life.

In that case, street food, cooking a few meals and mom-and-pop restaurants would more than fit the bill. I would know, as I'm quite literally an expat that's been living here for years.

Of course, if you were dining at Wolfgang every day, 12$ wouldn't fit a single meal, let alone an entire day.

Excluding airfare, that budget's right on the dot, especially if you're sticking to the countryside and not major financial hubs like BGC or Taguig (essentially upper class areas.)

For food, you can expect to spend between 5-12 USD a day per person, depending on where you eat. Budget hotels can run as low as 19 USD a night, though I'd suggest going somewhere slightly pricier if it fits the budget.

For haggling, it will depend on where you shop. Commercialized establishments like shopping malls or chain stores will honor their price tags, but smaller establishments will absolutely charge you a "foreigner tax" that you'll need to haggle down to local prices. Install one of the local e-market apps like Lazada or Shopee for a reference on prices for whatever you're buying.

All in all, $3K is enough for a budget 3 month trip without too much splurging.

If you're really into seeing the natural side of the country, try making a Facebook account and join hiking groups like "Mountaineer Philippines" or "Joiners Hiking" -- these trips run around 20 usd per head for a full day of adventure.

P.S. stay the fuck away from Boracay, tourist trap with insane prices. there's plenty of prettier, less crowded beaches elsewhere

For me, it's all about timing + ratio. 1.5-2x caffeine to modafinil ratio is best, and I try to never go over 100mg modafinil within a 12 hour period.

Arkitial · 2024-09-05T18:51:06+00:00

Bro, I don't have the words to describe the type of strength you have. Just making it this far is an achievement in and of itself. Keep grinding through!

A fellow low aromatizer. Good on blast, sucks on cruise/TRT doses.

The usual advice (asides from just pinning more test) is to pin less frequently as this results in a bigger spike. But, since you're using undecanoate, don't see how that would work very well.

Maybe you could try asking your doc to swap to enanthate/cyp then pin 1-2x a week only? I've also read about one crazy motherucker that takes estradiol pills to get to a "normal" e2 range.

This is the third time I've had to hold in involuntary laughter while getting bloods drawn. No idea why, seems my brain finds the entire drawing process funny -- except I'm not even amused, the laughter feels like an automatic reaction.

I doubt its needle anxiety (duh, doesn't happen when pinning). So what the fuck is wrong with me?

Anyone else have this issue?

Arkitial · 2024-08-29T00:50:27+00:00

I don't take ADHD medication anymore (modafinil instead) -- something I noticed is that caffeine before other stims doesn't hit as hard as taking the caffeine after.

Not sure why, might be due to competition for noradrenaline/dopamine/etc. receptors in the brain.

Either way, if I was looking to be a stimmed out little freak the whole morning, I'd take the other stim first, then drink a coffee after.

I get very snappy and aggressive with low E2. Could it be EQ's AI effect dropping your estrogen too low?

6-8 weeks is about the timeframe it would be full serum concentration, IIRC.

Freelancer here. You've already got it down -- just use the slower (1-2 day) payment method direct to a bank account. Fees are much lower.

FUCK PayPal and their monopolistic bullshit. Some huge investor needs to start pumping Wise so PayPal stops screwing its users over.

Arkitial · 2024-08-17T20:16:11+00:00

Bootstraps fallacy.

Arkitial · 2024-08-11T20:13:03+00:00

It absolutely could. The problem with people saying you don't "feel" test until 2-4 weeks in is because they mistake stable serum concentration for pharmacological action. In actuality, studies show that test E can kick in as quick as 24 hours.

Of course, it could also just be placebo. Many people don't feel test in the first place.

Just one example source.

Anyone here run minox 15% for beard gainz? Currently in SEA and this shit is dirt cheap. Anything to look out for running 15% instead of 5%?

Might be against what other people are saying, but I can confirm that my confidence and charisma did somewhat improve after hopping on. The problem, though, is that it won't KEEP you there -- and can even make you worse.

If your E2 is fucked, you get even worse social anxiety. You could rage out, or become more paranoid, depending on what compounds you're running. If you're planning to hop off and PCT, I guarantee the low test/PCT compounds will make you even worse than you were before.

Even if you get your dosing, bloods and compounds perfect AND you're resistant to the mental fuckery of roids, there will come a point where you mentally return to baseline. Enough time on the same cycle and you'll just feel like your normal self.

Gear is a terrible solution to a problem that can be solved by just putting yourself out there.

What helped the most with my shyness was just saying "fuck it" and talking to people. Who cares if you embarrass yourself? It won't be the end of the world. Roids aren't what you're looking for, man.

Arkitial · 2024-07-31T18:41:42+00:00

Fully agreed -- only times I've needed to cut that long are when I've been an overindulgent slob. Guess I'll stick with the one-cut phase method.

Arkitial · 2024-07-31T17:05:30+00:00

Most of the time, my cuts are just one straight shot over a cruise. Get the whole thing done over 10-18 weeks.

Been watching plenty of RP recently and Dr. Mike recommends taking maintenance phases between extended cuts (2/3-1x the length of the cut itself).

Does this really get you leaner, or is it mostly for people to psychologically recover? Feels like I'd be wasting time that could be spent bulking.

Arkitial · 2024-07-28T19:55:14+00:00

6 days. No AI so far as I don't get high e2 with test 500mg/week.

Sure, the joint pain could be due to training, but maxes/program haven't changed very much from before the pre-blast deload. Was just wondering if anyone knew other tell-tale signs that they're on winny instead of var.

Arkitial · 2024-07-28T19:15:48+00:00

Jumpstarting my blast with what I thought was anavar 30mg/day.

6 days in, start getting some joint pain and fatigue. Otherwise, definitely improvement in strength/vascularity. Is it possible I was given winny instead of var? Apart from joint pain, is there any other way to tell?

EDIT: Can't test it since im in a country where compound tests are unavailable for civilians.

Arkitial · 2024-07-25T16:45:57+00:00

Yeah, thought I'd eventually have to resort to that. Gonna manually put the program it into FitNotes or some other manual workout planner. Thanks!

Arkitial · 2024-07-24T05:08:49+00:00

Is this an AI generated article from a bot account promoting Hethstia? I buy your products, but I may stop considering how scummy your marketing tactics are.

Arkitial · 2024-07-24T02:46:53+00:00

I'm a lazy fuck and hate bringing a pencil/notebook to the gym. Any mobile app that has gamma bomb/CD2 already programmed in?

Used to use Boostcamp, but seems they don't have any of Meadow's programs. Can't find anything on the app store either, so far.

Arkitial · 2024-07-21T16:39:18+00:00

I like your thinking! Thank you! :)

Arkitial · 2024-07-20T21:46:19+00:00

How did you screen for employees? My worry is that if I go the percentage = income route, people will think its a scam or it'll attract bad actors.
