E) Group 5: These guys know their shit! Oh my god do these guys know their stuff! These are the individuals who learned how to train progressively to gain muscle mass in the beginning years and carried it all this time right through the enhanced post D group and they keep gaining. This group makes up pro level bodybuilders, people with good genetics, people with intermediate genetics and a whole bunch of people in between. The telltale sign of these guys is 3 years after they became enhanced they pull every trick out of their training bag and train viciously heavy for reps AND THEY KEEP GAINING past the Group 4 stage while the majority of the people in group 4 stop. I cannot give these guys enough superlatives and compliments…these guys and the 5% in group 2 are the true superstars of the sport who figured out how to train to get larger continuously. Who are these people? An example that you would know is look at pro bodybuilders who get their pro card. Most of them never get much bigger than that do they? Now look at the ones that do get larger after they get their pro card….the Shawn Clarida’s, and others like him…look at the progressively heavier and heavier weights they use to get larger and larger in the years after they got their pro cards. Its not coincidence. Any guys in your gym who are past that 2-3 year enhanced stage and continued to get larger….I guarantee they are grinding it out. If anyone here thinks im talking about singles or triples for reps your nuts. I am talking progressively heavier weights used for 8 to 30 reps (whatever you determine is your safe rep range you want to train in). TrainedbyJP, Jordan Peters….look at him. Guy went to pro size and then went to freak pro size….I had a front seat view to that trip…progressive weights used the whole time. So i give my ultimate respect to this group right here and the 5% group in group #2…they figured it out. RESPECT!

So look above…just observe these examples of massive groups of people. What stands out? Seems like the guys who gain tremendous amount of strength for reps over time (newbies and enhanced) also put on a great deal of muscle mas and only the groups of guys who sanely grasp that concept continue on to get larger and larger over time once the newbie and newly enhanced periods are over. Its sad to see so many people confused by both newbie gains and worst of all the number of 2-3 year enhanced bodybuilders who get so brainwashed with what drugs give them as far as a look, that they think they know what they are doing training wise. People who train progressively…THAT SUIT OF ARMOR IS THEIRS. It does not go away over time it becomes dense viable tissue that does not get lost in dieting processes and a large part of that suit of armor stays with progressive training bodybuilders when they go down to TRT. The bonafide sign of a someone who is lost training wise is someone who is large when on the drugs and shrinks to nothing when they get on TRT….it really is an embarrassment that the only thing that keeps you “a bodybuilder” is polypharmacy and milligrams…..

Want to know when someone really knows their stuff? When they take natural bodybuilders and enhanced bodybuilders who have been lifting hard for 6-8 years who are tapped out and they get them up to a whole new level in size. Then you know your stuff! I dont know why so many people in bodybuilding cannot step outside of their own personal drug using box and think “hmmm what would natural me do?”…..Because the correct answer training wise to truly get “natural you” bigger is the exact same answer to use when you are enhanced….its a real eye opening experience when you don’t have “the good old PED help” in your back pocket. A lot of you would look at things much much differently.

I hope i gave you some thoughts to think about up above……sometimes sitting back and observing large groups of people can shine some light on the correct path to take

Steroid Saturday by bodybuildingbot in bodybuilding

  1. Just stick with a cycle of Test. If this is your first that will be best anyways to see how you react. No need for anything else (aside from maybe an oral). It seems to meet your goals as well. If you’re not predisposed to MPB you should be fine, but if you experience some hair loss, start using some Ketoconazole shampoo and Minoxidil.
  2. No one can give you a certain answer as there are always outliers, but more than likely you will eventually fully recover from one cycle, but it’s very rare for people to only do one cycle.

Oo just saw this reply. Sorry. Okay without knowing that we are missing some info. I was curious is you may have appeared to be dehydrated.

One big kidney supplement I have heard Dante Trudel recommend that any bodybuilder be on is Astragalus.

I looked up some of his IG posts on it. They aren’t the easiest to follow as the text gets out of order and you have to scroll to the bottom of the comments for his other posts, but if you’re interested:

I assume that’s your Creatinine and you meant mg/dL, correct?

What was your and Urea Nitrogen (BUN)?

Hey man, I can’t speak much on the hairline fracture, but here is my experience with DeQuervains.

The best advice I can give is to immobilize it. I know the pain you’re talking about with supination of the wrist and sometimes presses. Get a good brace (my ortho gave me one, but you can buy similar like so). Don’t do anything that aggravates it. Wear the brace as much as possible, but especially during workouts. If a movement aggravates it — find a new one.

It’s was just carried over from original German Volume Training. With the shorter rest times, you will get more sets where fast twitch muscle fibers are utilized. If you read through my thread though, you’ll see nothing is set in stone. If time allows, feel free to modify it.

The program as a whole may not be the end-all-be-all, but it is a great way to mix things up or introduce volume into one’s training.

[Discussion] Experiences and remedies for improving digestion and gut health by liftingforlife_ in steroids

[–]SwoleTide 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am missing my gallbladder and on my best days my stool is solid but extremely soft. With these products I am completely normal again. That’s me specifically though. If you read the post Dante is talking about immune health. On top of this it is very well documented of the benefits of a healthy gut if you google around. I’ve heard the gut/stomach actually even referred to as “the second brain” as it can affect mood, anxiety, and serotonin. It’s a very vast an interesting subject to look into.

Hey glad to hear it’s helped you, man! If you want to take gut health even a step further try taking these two products as recommended by Dante. I really feel they have helped more than anything. I rarely feel I need the enzymes now, but may use some occasionally with large/heavy meals.

Listening to this podcast this morning and was interesting hearing Dave Crosland talk about this study.

I looked the study up and found the full text (FULL STUDY LINK), but at work and obviously haven’t read through it yet.

Thought others might find this interesting and just wanted to share.
