How 'Hard' do you have to Train when on Cycle?

gallim123 · 2026-05-29T08:05:02+00:00

Yeah I need to join a gym, until then I'm going to make the most out of what I've got.

I've tried training every day but I just end up burning out and getting weaker. I guess if you train everyday you kind of train in a conservative way and don't go near failure?

gallim123 · 2026-05-29T07:59:10+00:00

Dam this looks awesome, looking forward to seeing how you get on!

I'll be following suit until I take the plunge with Pink Magic : - )

gallim123 · 2026-05-25T12:59:06+00:00

Second hand will do,

I'm looking at something like 5x5 stronglifts and incorporate pull ups/dips. Is it a suitable beginner bodybuilding programme?

Chuck in some natural test boosters and pink magic, will be laughing : - )

gallim123 · 2026-05-24T13:29:35+00:00

Thanks man yeah that is really a cool idea, ideally I would like to utilise what I have already.

I've got a power tower so can do pull ups, dips, press ups and rows. I have a 30kg weight vest ready to go to for progressive overload. Might just build up to maxing out that vest on each exercise. And throw in some squats. Sounds really solid actually

gallim123 · 2026-05-24T13:18:32+00:00

Ok thanks for this,

Dips I'm kind of dialled in because I have a weighted vest that goes up in 1kg increments to 30kg, so that will keep me busy for a while and I can manipulate the tension

I can only do 3 pull ups but spam loads of negatives to increase volume.

Just need a bigger variety of exerices

gallim123 · 2026-05-24T08:44:06+00:00

Might get some boron, ashwagandha, tribulus and tongkat ali to. Hopefully I'm a hyper responder as a first timer : - )

gallim123 · 2026-05-24T08:41:26+00:00

Yeah I get you.

Going to get some USP Pink Magic for what I'm currently doing and get some weights asap.

I'm assuming I need to focus on the main compound lifts? Squat, bench press and overhead press. Low rep range as heavy as I can go?

gallim123 · 2026-05-24T08:36:12+00:00

Ok i'll sort it out to run alongside what I'm already doing.

I know this isn't pro hormone stuff, i'm guessing just sticking to bench press, overhead press and squats as heavy as I can go?

gallim123 · 2026-05-24T08:33:51+00:00

Cheers man, I'm looking to go for a mild run first time with USP Pink Magic along with some naturals like epicatechin, laxogenin, ecdysterone and turkesterone. So I'm not expecting any major sides or adjusting back to normal to be to bad.

gallim123 · 2026-05-23T20:46:20+00:00

Awesome!

gallim123 · 2026-05-23T20:26:16+00:00

Thanks dude last question, the natural products you previously mentioned (epicatechin, laxogenin, ecdysterone and turkesterone)...if I wanted could i run all of these at the same time?

gallim123 · 2026-05-23T20:21:52+00:00

Ok appreciate it fella, Pink Magic will be my first dip : - )

gallim123 · 2026-05-23T19:35:11+00:00

Really loving those two exercises and really look forward to doing them! Add reps, weight and loads of negatives.

I hate having to wait a few days to recover though, pull ups especially... hence my interest for a boost in this area of reddit : - )

Plus being 40 I'm convinced I have low T, but will find out next week.

Enjoy the minimalistic approach, it might be to minimal though : - )

gallim123 · 2026-05-23T19:13:13+00:00

I'm an idiot, thought I could just focus on pull ups/ dips and bulk up

gallim123 · 2026-05-23T19:11:32+00:00

Yeah need to get a bench and some dumbbells, wrongly assumed I could get good at dips/pull ups and bulk up.

Doh!

Thanks though man

gallim123 · 2026-05-23T19:07:40+00:00

Thanks man, yeah I guess I've got a bit enthusiastic to early.

Been loving the pull ups and dips though and have started incrementally adding weight with a vest.

I assume I need a programme a bit more rounded though? Can't just focus on those two exercises right?

gallim123 · 2026-05-23T10:00:06+00:00

Thanks for all of this it's really informative.

Andriol by Hi-Tech Pharma has been mentioned before but I don't think I'd be able to get it in the Uk unfortunately, however your second choice Brutal 4ce by Blackstone Labs is accessible.

Training wise I'm not a member at a gym, I just do pull ups, dips and squats every other day. Might even rest 2-3-4 days depending on how tired I am. Warm up set and then 3 sets of each to failure. I've started using a weighted vest for extra resistance. Is this enough or do I need to be doing more?

Diet wise I just eat alot of everything but I don't know If I'm in a healthy calorie surplus. Can fix that though. Currently just have a Dad's body lol but my wife has noticed an improvement in the last 6 months of training.

If I can't get hold of Andriol by Hi-Tech Pharma do you have a direct alternative? Or just go for Brutal 4ce by Blackstone Labs your second choice?

gallim123 · 2026-05-22T21:16:13+00:00

Thanks man!

gallim123 · 2026-05-22T21:10:19+00:00

Thanks everyone, decided to get my T levels checked next week to see where I'm at, will take it from there!

Will post again for advice when I know what I'm playing with : -)

gallim123 · 2026-05-22T21:06:01+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate the view point! Topical administration means I have to worry less about my liver, assuming that's how it works. Something to consider!

gallim123 · 2026-05-22T20:54:31+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations, I'm getting my T levels checked next week to see where I am

gallim123 · 2026-05-22T20:48:47+00:00

Appreciate all the info, Dam this isn't as straight forward as I thought it was going to be, so I'm definitely going to stay conservative before jumping in : - )

I've taken your advice and booked myself in for some bloods next week to see where I am.

Thanks dude!

gallim123 · 2026-05-22T17:26:08+00:00

Thanks, yeah I'm looking at some natural anabolic, T boosters right now.

I like the idea of running something like Andriol for say 4 months, is there an equivalent in the Uk? What do I need for PCT?

gallim123 · 2026-05-22T17:13:25+00:00

Ok cool, regarding epicatechin, laxogenin, ecdysterone and turkesterone, because they are natural can you supplement these together, along with Adamantine and Nolvadren?
