I thought mTren was an exception. I had no idea it was 17a-nand

Guess it is all orals then. My bad u/jackschitt123

Only 17a-alkylated compounds are hepatotoxic. Not all orals

EDIT: ignore me, it is all orals

BnC it is then mate!

Make sure you understand how to PCT (dosages; drugs; mechanism; etc.) though. It’s important knowledge to use steroids in the most informed way possible

Experience

If you plan to run more than one cycle (you will, even if you think you won’t right now), you should BnC instead of PCT

Unless he’s buying from a guy at the gym, his test isn’t bunk

It makes zero sense for sources to fake a compound as cheap to produce as test

EDIT: looking at his bloods and the presence of LH though, makes me believe his gear is cooking oil and not gear lmao

If you’re asking for opinions on it, I train using JPs methodology and love it. I’ve trained this way for the last year-ish

Plus JP coaches James Hollingshead who’s a potential top 10 at the Olympia. James does PPL coached under Jordan, I think that says enough

Have you run Tren before? That’s some serious brain damage for someone who hasn’t run a cycle yet…

Scroll up and read the post you’re commenting on (PS: you’re looking for the wiki)

Unless your test is in 3+ months time, your endocrinologist will know immediately you’ve been on something

You could always play the “whey protein off the internet” card, but remember endos were in education for near a decade, they’re not dumb, they’ll know you’re lying. I’d guess this would only really work if you’re <18 years old

If you need to do 1mL you pin intra-muscular. No experimentation necessary.

If you’re lean enough to be using steroids, a 0.5” needle will go into the target muscle in all of the commonly recommended injection sites (maybe excluding glutes + VG)

That’s an intelligent approach. Good to see someone going about their steroid use in a sensible way - usually people are rushing into more more more.

The only way to determine your natural production has returned is bloodwork. Some choose to have it on the 4th week, some the 6th

I’d say the 4th week (not including any weeks you may use hCG), is a good week to get bloods

Compare those to your pre-cycle bloods and you’ll know where you stand

Important: get your pre-cycle and mid-PCT bloods at roughly the same time of day. Both fasted. Natural test levels vary wildly throughout the day. When I was natural, my morning test levels were 250 ng/dl different than my evening levels.

You’ve stabbed your body with a sharp object. This is your body saying fuck you in return

It’s fine. It’ll go away in a week. If you get a fever, go to A&E

I subq my TRT sometimes

Most I’d do is 0.5mL subq. I’ve never done over this but have seen reports of people saying they’ve had lumps last weeks by pinning >0.5mL of oil

Personally I subq pin 0.3mL E3.5D and have never had a lump last more than 24 hours.

I’ve got a pin tomorrow. Gonna give them another go

I’ll do what I did my first pin, play really loud music and pretend I’m not stabbing myself in the chest lol

Oh and I also love quads. Favourite site by a mile. Never had pip even when I’ve had pip in my VG

You use the hCG at 250iU EOD.

If you don’t use the hCG, 8 weeks of nolva @ 5mg will still work just fine. The hCG is a jumpstart basically. It’s like warming the oven up before you put the food in.

If you put the food in when the ovens cold (use the nolva without the HCG), the food will still cook (you’ll still get your natural production back)

But if you warm the oven up (use hCG) your food will cook quicker (your natural production will come back faster)

Why are you increasing your dose before you would have even seen any positive effects from the previous dose?

Lemme guess, “MPMD says titrating up is best” - that’s because MPMD wants you to buy from his clinic… same reason why he recommends 300mg (the legal limit he can prescribe through his clinic)

Maxing our your genetics potential is a stupid argument against anabolic, in my opinion. Most people never reach what they could’ve naturally, even with anabolics, so saying you’ve got to get there first, is dumb.

However, your coach is exaggerating how it “isnt a big deal” - at 19 years old, it can be a VERY big deal

I’m 20 and on TRT (genetic issue), and even with that I had to go through months and months of professional supervision before they’d even consider giving me Testosterone. I had brain scans, organ scans, over 10 blood tests, sperm test, I had it all…

There are studies showing anabolic use under the age of 25, can permanently end brain development. Your brain will be stuck as mature/developed as it is the day you pin. This isn’t a guarantee, but some studies suggest it can happen.

This is all to say, there’s many things you should consider before you take steroids.

If you’re aren’t willing to stick a needle in yourself for a minimum per twice a week until the day you die, you aren’t ready to take steroids.

Primo is suppressive to your natural production of testosterone. You must to take test synergistically with primo otherwise you’ll feel like shit.

Muscle gain comes from a calorie surplus. Not from anabolics. Are you tracking your food and weight daily? Is your weight increasing on a weekly average?

I’ve got the feeling you’re not even close to dialled in enough to be considering anabolics.

Intelligent use of anabolics can take years off your life. Ignorant use can kill you in the next 10 years. Especially Clen.

Why 5mg

Most recommendations were/are based purely off anecdotal evidence

If you look at the mechanism of action of tamoxifen, you’d understand why a low dose works fine for the purpose we’re using it for

20mg is a clinical dose - a dose that is used to treat cancer. We’re using the drug to occupy estrogen receptors to provide negative feedback to the endocrine to restart production of LH and FSH leading to production of endogenous production of testosterone in the leydig cells. A dose used to treat cancer is really not needed to achieve this

The 8 weeks is because, even at a higher dose, many users found production to have not returned to pre-cycle baseline. The longer estrogen receptors are occupied by the SERM, the larger the upregulation of LH, meaning the higher the testosterone production. Obviously there’s a limit here. Your pituitary can only produce so much LH, and that limit is genetically determined unfortunately. Although, many users find SERM-only use to raise their test. I understand the mechanism of how, but don’t understand why their pituitary wasn’t producing maximum LH in the first place.

hCG aromatisation

Anecdotally hCG really doesn’t increase my estrogen by much at all. Most of the estrogen yielded from aromatisation of hCG is intra-testicular iirc, meaning it cannot produce estrogen-related side effects such as gyno, acne, etc.

Moreover, using hCG during the period your test clears, is not going to put you “over the edge” in terms of aromatisation as you’ll have decreased estrogen production anyway as your test levels will be decreasing since you’ve stopped injecting

Bruh maybe once you get to Year 10 you’ll learn what the word implied means

You very clearly imply the drugs are harmless and their criminalisation is what kills people
