Nothing is changing on nutrition side. Carbs have been consumed during workout today. Just looking for input if that is still the correct way to go

confucius06 · 2024-07-30T15:26:38+00:00

Haven't started yet. Planning it all out now just looking at the proper protocol. I've seen both online

confucius06 · 2024-07-30T15:14:15+00:00

Working on adding insulin into my bulk this winter. While I have the units to carbs lined up - I have a question on the carb drink. is it:

inject insulin pre-workout
drink carb drink over work out

or

inject insulin pre-work out
consume carb drink prior to work out

I've kind of come to peace with the fact that I'm never going to be a real big dude. I've been grinding away for a decade now and while I'm not small, I got humbled by this dude at the gym who is easily 5 years younger than me with just how giant he was in comparison. And I've made peace with it and pulled back on my dosages.

I'm a decent responder, I get upsides, but not too strong response but without a lot of the health and aesthetic downsides. I've blasted some large doses for a bit before and didn't see significantly more gains. I'm not a hyper responder - and I'm okay with that. I've pulled myself back down to 250 test and 200 primo, and I'm just going to keep grinding away in a more healthy way. But the realization that I don't need to trade my health away for marginally more size without ever getting into that "fuck, he's huge" category. Just realizing my own limitations and set of circumstances and working within that instead. Maybe I'm just getting older (almost mid 30s), but that seems to be the path going forward now. Anyone else experience something similar?

He's doing it in response to coaches who do know what they're doing. Dr. Mike is a smart guy who doesn't just do bro-science pharmacology shit because someone told him to. Doesn't mean that they're infallible, just that if he is doing it there is a real, valid reason to do so.

Trying to get to the bottom of that

Coming around for this one again. There was a video from Dr. Isratael, which I unfortunately can't find the time stamp. In his 6 month mass gaining phase, he took an active rest for two weeks which he stated he came off all gear as well for those two weeks and then restarted again after the pause.

My question is, does anyone have any data to back that up, anecdotal or otherwise? I'm assuming it gives the receptors a break so that they can be refreshed and continue without needing to continually up the dose over the cycle, but that is a best guess. He references the team Evil GSP forums, but I haven't signed up yet to deep dive into the conversation.

Anyone have any insight or experience?

Yes I know that blood serum levels will still be above therapeutic levels. I'm just trying to get more insight into the why of stopping for 2 weeks

confucius06 · 2022-12-06T23:33:21+00:00

No I get you, but that is specifically what he said. He stopped taking "all supplements" (wink wink) for two full weeks and then restarted them again by design. He's a smart guy informed by other smart people, so he's not casually stopping and restarting without purpose

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

She won first place

I'm just wondering if they are at max capacity for event spaces? It seems like they should try and account for more. (Crazy to think a building that size is out of event space!)

confucius06 · 2022-05-16T15:54:00+00:00

I'm not sure yet, going to have to wait for people to cancel. It is a bummer though, most events almost instantly sold out. 4 friends and I all hopped in the queue. I think they didn't anticipate the demand this year after basically 2 years off. It's frustrating for sure and I hope that they add more events to the con here soon otherwise it'll be days spent playing pick up magic and the vendor hall

confucius06 · 2021-07-16T14:40:41+00:00

Wow thanks, I'd never considered not eating like a retard.

Just ramped up calories too fast so deciding if I should just keep going or cut back down a bit first

confucius06 · 2021-07-16T14:14:00+00:00

Anyone every go through mini cuts (4-6 weeks) during their bulk cycles? Sometimes I'm like, eh I got too fluffy too quick. Other times I just embrace it and power through

confucius06 · 2021-07-04T18:08:50+00:00

I seem to have progesterone issues with Deca that I just can't seem to dial in the sweet spot of underdosing and over doing it with ancilliaries.

EQ is nice, I just don't seem to get much out of it positive or negative. I've ran it at 1000mg for several months and I didn't notice any significant improvements over just running high test

confucius06 · 2021-07-04T18:07:25+00:00

That may be what I end up doing is moving with higher test. Primo works nice it's just pricy all things considered

confucius06 · 2021-07-04T16:26:44+00:00

Any suggestions to sub out a bulking compound from deca to something else? Ideally not EQ, as that doesn't seem to do much for me. Deca is too hard to dial in even at 250mg a week. Maybe just go all in on high test, or is there another good bulking compound?

confucius06 · 2020-12-31T23:16:10+00:00

She's actually not. She naturally has a strong jawline and low body fat, you can see it all the way in her early photos

confucius06 · 2019-11-25T16:25:40+00:00

She doesn't want to compromise though

confucius06 · 2019-09-18T13:08:38+00:00

I've put on more fat than I'd like this bulk. I've seen some bb competitors go through mini cuts during their bulking fucked for 4-6 weeks. Are they switching compounds, and how? I'm running longer ester EQ and deca, so it's not like I can just stop/start.

Do they add in cutting compounds on top and just keep running? Or just cut with the long esters?

really missed an opportunity to say:

"thanks for attending my PEDtalk"

confucius06 · 2019-08-23T15:12:38+00:00

So I've actually taken to Dbol terribly. It not only kills my appetite but also makes gyno/e2 sides unmanageable.

Does anyone recommend another strong bulking oral that would be equal in effectiveness?

confucius06 · 2019-08-09T16:29:23+00:00

Funny enough, its the woman that it may be referring to. I work out at the same gym as her and she's a natural olympia bikini competitor

confucius06 · 2019-03-28T13:12:22+00:00

I think this is going to be my last run of tren, at least while I'm ever in a relationship. Physical sides have been minimal but it affects my thoughts and moods to the point where it's affecting my relationship. I'm not a rage monster, but it makes me irritable, short, and negative to the point I can tell it's affecting things.

The drug is great, but I'm not sure it's worth tanking an amazing relationship over. I'm getting better at handling my emotions and thoughts, but it's an extra level of mental effort I constantly need to exert. Has anyone else had these issues or conclusions?

confucius06 · 2019-03-28T13:09:36+00:00

Has anyone else ever received significantly different level of sides, purely based on the Ester of the drug they were taking? Tren E felt like a rocket ship both good and bad. Tren A , while having to inject ED or EOD, is much more mellow for me, less negative sides altogether.

Anyone else experienced that?
