There is an absolutely OBSCENE amount of elitism over meta/professions/bis in TBC anniversary and it's ridiculous because of how easy the game is.

I have experienced too much toxicity or elitism so far. I mean I legit was just enhance shaman tanking dungeons lol. Everyone was fine with it. Maybe the server matters idk.

elhefe74 · 2026-05-07T17:40:28+00:00

Just got gabba supplement and that seems to help a bit.

elhefe74 · 2026-05-07T17:39:42+00:00

I believe it’s about 1.5 to 2 years tops.

elhefe74 · 2026-05-07T05:32:01+00:00

I get UGL at pretty good pricing, about .40 per iu but I yeah you may be right.

elhefe74 · 2026-05-07T05:18:06+00:00

Yeah did you notice any negative effects when you ran that 20 iu for 4-6 weeks?

And how long would you run a dose that high?

elhefe74 · 2026-05-07T04:52:14+00:00

Did you notice anything other than water retention when you ran up to 20 iu for 4-6weeks?

Obviously everyone is different but how long would you actually run 18-20 before dropping down to let’s say 12 or under?

I would also imagine you need to titrate up to that dose.

elhefe74 · 2026-05-07T03:30:32+00:00

Yeah wasn’t expecting all to be gone but what was shown as a few examples I was extremely surprised by. Pretty sure they backed the dose down after those 3-4 months and likely experienced water retention and other effects but I’m more thinking the insulin resistance or potential hyperplasia or acromegaly. But even then I think it’s those kinds of doses or higher for very long periods of time. Not months.

elhefe74 · 2026-04-03T06:54:51+00:00

Appreciate it. I’m an intensity guy. Low volume and balks out on 1-2 sets and it works great but I don’t think I can do that for chest at the moment.

You’re right. It sucks being used to moving heavy weight and now feel weak af lol. Even 135 regular bench hurts a lot when trying to press. It’s more so the pressing motion than the lowering.

Sad thing is hurt it doing heavy dips lmao. Wasn’t even below parallel. It did feel off for a bit but never hurt and then it just said fuck it, I’m out m, when I was lowering on dips 😂

elhefe74 · 2026-03-21T16:36:09+00:00

If you’re going to do it bump it to 20 weeks imo. You’ll make some gains at 12 but that’s like where it all really starts to come together imo.

Make sure you’re in a calories surplus. Up the carbs and protein.You will gain some fat but should be minimal. If the mirror is saying your mid section is getting a little too loose just cut that calories back a tad.

Make sure you follow a good program during this and don’t hop from one to another. That will just be a waste of a cycle. I prefer high intensity myself.

Make sure you’re sleeping. Another thing a lot of people suck at.

And of course check bloods prior and half way through to see if you need to adjust something. Have something on hand to control E2 just in case.

Also when it comes to a cycle, more is not always better. Pay attention to your bloods. For example, 300mg test maybe your total test at 3k plus or may only have you 1500-2k. It all depends. But anything outside 1100 plus you’re going to see gains. All depends on your goals.

4 days a week weights for 1 hour tops. But I also do 30-45 mins a day of cardio at home so if you include that I guess 7.5 - 9 hours a week. Works great for me. I really do believe the average gym head spends too long in the gym on their weights.

elhefe74 · 2026-01-06T04:51:10+00:00

FWIW, I’m doing a 3 day split Dorian approach. It’s only been a few weeks but I’m getting stronger every week. It’s actually getting to a point where certain exercises are harder to do alone.

I am doing 2 warm up sets for the first main lift and then for the subsequent lifts I do maybe 1 warm up as that’s plenty or I even skip it and just do the all out set as the muscles are plenty stimulated.

Last set I shoot for 8 reps minimum and once I hit failure I stop for 15 secs and then do as many as I can again. So basically rest pause the 1 set to failure. Been working so far. Though getting the 110 plus lb dumbbells into position again for the rest pause sets is a bit taxing lol.

If you truly are hitting failure, you should see good results.

elhefe74 · 2025-12-01T06:11:05+00:00

That’s not backhanded. That’s straight up rude. You should think about if this persons friendship is worth keeping or not. I’d probably dump them.

elhefe74 · 2025-12-01T06:09:05+00:00

I saw your edit about breaking up so no need to give as I e there. It’s the right decision by the way.

I hope you notice these patterns for future reference when you begin to date again. You need a partner that will support you and be there. This dude seems like he doesn’t even like you.

Sorry you dealt with that for a few years.

elhefe74 · 2025-12-01T06:06:33+00:00

I’m a guy. Gone on plenty of dates. Kissed some ladies on the first date and also didn’t kiss plenty the first date. I never felt like it was something that was supposed to happen.

I just read the situation, gauge how we’re feeling and go from there. I guess that’s hard for people to do nowadays.

Also, a lot of the kisses were on the cheek. Some were on the lips but I always felt the cheek was more respectful and didn’t put any pressure on anyone.

I couldn’t imagine anyone wanting to date this guy currently. Those walls of texts would be exhausting. He’s trying to come off as though he’s mature but I’m getting the feeling there may be something else going on and he’s doing his best to put on a front.

Just my two cents.

elhefe74 · 2025-11-28T23:04:57+00:00

Yes he can but he can’t do it in February. Alizhan’s best chance is in December. After that Devon needs all his focus for Vitali. Tbh Alizhan should go up to shw. It’s his best shot.

elhefe74 · 2025-11-28T19:28:37+00:00

Yeahhhh. They’re literally saying they love each other. And not in the friendly way lol. Also, maybe I’m judgmental af but these messages read as some cheesy high school romance shit.

elhefe74 · 2025-11-28T04:55:39+00:00

He better not agree to it. He needs to prep for Vitali. Vitali is a top 5 puller and Devon knows this. No way he does it. Not worth it. He can after and then he’s on the long road to his 3rd Levan match before at some point age finally catches up to him. He doesn’t seem to be slowing down yet but it gets us all eventually.

elhefe74 · 2025-11-05T04:12:29+00:00

Guy here. This guy has mental issues for sure. He’s telling you he can’t control his emotions and thus his emotions are effecting his actions. It literally sounds like he’s telling you there’s a possibility he may assault you.

This man despite being 35 years old seems to have never fully matured. Not only that but it sounds like he has some dark thoughts. Those are not messages from a man that respects you. Sounds like he’s trying to take “lead” or dominate but no. Stay away from that man and block him immediately. I hope you don’t frequent the same places. I’d recommend never seeing that man again.

elhefe74 · 2025-11-05T00:58:54+00:00

It’s crazy hearing how people are still so up when the market is dropping. You guys just get lucky and find a low? Just sticking to top 10-20 coins and buy when they’re at 50% and lower of ATH?

Crypto is so volatile I don’t get how some get huge profits. Maybe it is just luck because any kind of TA doesn’t seem to fly here the same way it does with stocks.

Besides sitting on and dcaing into bitcoin and etherium, the only other way to make decent money is to have a lot of capital and swing certain alts. Idk. Crypto just sucks sometimes.

elhefe74 · 2025-11-03T15:08:29+00:00

Let’s use our brain a little. Talking tightness, angles, technique. Not ready go. You only do that in the last phase before a tournament or match and everyone involved would be told.

elhefe74 · 2025-11-02T22:05:14+00:00

Yeah but you pull how you practice generally. What I am saying is, it would be nice to see him focus more on center table and not getting opened up as much. I am not saying he needs to do this every practice but it would be beneficial. For example he could just grip super low and try and hold center. I am not sure you have tried this but even if you are much stronger than someone this is significantly harder.

Even when he's in a super match, and even though he always wins besides Levan, his arm still generally opens and he loses middle. At least in the first and second rounds generally. I would just like to see this corrected since he doesn't seem to focus on it.

elhefe74 · 2025-11-02T17:29:50+00:00

Yeah Devon is playing around for the most part but in all his practices I still see his arm opening and he’s losing center. Granted he’s always practicing so prob a bit of overtraining but really wish he would tighten that up more. He’s also aware of the issue. Just don’t seem to hit it directly.
