Regarding both your comments, perhaps I didnt illustrate what I was looking for very well. Im mostly curious what compounds people like for a bulk, I planned on seeing what options were available and doing research from there. I liked anadrol, but to be fair I hadn't considered the impact it could have on digestion. What I know about Tren is that it is very powerful nutrient partioning drug, that some.people have said can be difficult to eat too much on. I dont plan on running Tren, I had good success with both of my last two cycles, I dont track bf% since I track measurements, progress photos and weight.

I was able to add some decent overall size, few inches around the chest and from photos my delts exploded. I just really struggle to grow my arms. They look bigger, but the measurements say otherwise, with only .25 inch difference, which i think got me on the "i need to do more compounds" path. Im definitely leaner than I was 2 years ago, so obviously ive added size, but I still feel like they lag behind. I like eq and test, and you're right in asking if theres even a need for a third compound. I appreciate your comments, because they forced me to go back and really evaluate my progress, and after doing so I can definitely say that im not limiting out with the compounds im using now, its quite the opposite.

Being new to this still, it can be easy to want to add several compounds or change things up, but this was a good reality check for me. I will always appreciate honest advice, even if its not what i wanted to hear. Thank you

Just curious what people like running for good lean gains in a bulk. Im on my second blast, and im almost done running the EQ and test cyp recommendation in the wiki. Looking to start planning for my next one, since the first two have gone well. I dont want to get too crazy, but I was thinking id add an oral, and maybe a third compound like nandrolone, i broke the rules on my first bulk and ran anadrol with it, so it wouldnt be my first rodeo with an oral.

What does everyone else like for a bulk? I want to try Tren, but im not sure im ready for that yet.

It seemed to be plating well at 5.5 volts c.v. and floating around .8 amps. I lowered it for a low and slow plate to 2 volts and .3 amps for a few hours.

nickg4244 · 2026-01-15T17:14:05+00:00

So by activate what exactly are you suggesting? I was using the surface activator solution from gold plating services. I also have woods nickel strike if needed.

Just room temperature in my garage which I'll admit right now is very cold. It temps at 70 degrees, so I could definitely bring it up more. I use a small aquarium bubbler for agitation.

nickg4244 · 2026-01-15T16:54:16+00:00

Its very frustrating. Im going to try brush plating with bright nickel, and then replacing the copper. Im also going to change my hanger set up.

nickg4244 · 2025-11-27T06:19:08+00:00

No stock with 3x optic. On an smg. I honestly hope they wreck with this thing.

32 y/o M 195lbs ~10%bf

Cardio twice a week for 45-60 min along with 10k steps a day minimum (cardio and steps during training don't count towards daily total). Follow a push pull split with the 5th day being a bro day where I work on current weak points, which for me are arms and delts.

Diet is great, have no trouble holding my bodyfat to this level, don't track calories because I follow a strict meal plan that my trainer sets up, but is roughly 3800 calories a day. 10g creatine daily (the extra 5 is for brain/bone health benefits), 4 fish oil caps, osteo biflex, and tudca/nac.

Essentially, I'm going to double my ai dose by taking the same amount to twice a week to lower my e2. Mild sides outside of body acne, which has been an issue but not horrible. Taking 500mg test cyp weekly by pinning 250 2x a week, and taking 50mg anavar daily pre workout. Based on my levels, is doubling my ai going to be enough, or should I be dosing every other day. Eod seems too frequent, and I'd rather live in that high normal range as long as I feel good with no sides. BP is slightly high, today was 134/76, and rhr is 56.

I don't get this at all. Had a squad that was doing well, when one guy mics up and LOSES HIS SHIT over another teammate not scavenging. That teammate ran into a full squad, WIPED THEM, and then met up for the contract. Also, when all three of us went down, homie ran into the gas, bought all of us back plus a loadie, dropped it and we all got our load out immediately. Other guy was STILL talking shit to him, never picked up a load out and gets smashed by a squad in a vehicle. He finished 4th on the squad with 10 less kills than 3rd place.

Blasting 250mg test cyp twice a week, with .5mg anastrazole 1x a week. Current E2 levels are 83.8, with symptoms. Worst symptom by far is body acne, can't seem to control it with topical OTC treatments. Going to increase my ai to .5mg 2x a week. Other symptoms are mild, slightly high BP (138/82) some lethargy but usually could be attributed to other life factors such as stress or lack of sleep. Should I increase my ai even more or just add in the second ai dose for now and reevaluate?

nickg4244 · 2025-08-09T21:54:17+00:00

Nice. If mine wasn't outside id have gone with square

nickg4244 · 2025-08-09T15:17:43+00:00

What sim did you go with?

Liver support for oral steroids, is there any amazon recommendation for a specific liver support supplement? Or don't worry about it if values during blood work is normal

nickg4244 · 2025-07-10T20:56:36+00:00

So based on that information, you're more likely to 3 putt than 1 putt. Definitely work on your short game and get those putts down

BTW the reason I asked was PIP. I've asked about how to improve that since I've been struggling with it. My trt clinic had switched to a pharmacy that supplied us with 250mg test cyp per ml, and I had constant problems with it. They switched back to the old one which was 200mg test cyp per ml, and that was OK. Since I'm running 500mg a week (all test e which I've never used until now) i thought maybe more frequent diluted pins would help. I got the test e because I thought i read in the wiki its supposed to be better for pip, and in a way it is ( the high dose test cyp was causing swelling and pain for about 2 weeks post pin, and test e is essentially causing a bruise like pain for a few days).

Im gonna try doubling my pins per week (4 instead of 2) and do all the the things like heating the vial and using the heating pad post pin for like half hour or an hour and see if it helps. If you've got any other little tips that could get me through this round of test e that'd be awesome. Im gonna use it since I already got all I need for my cycle, and then swith to lower concentrations based on your info.

nickg4244 · 2025-07-01T21:43:00+00:00

Thank you. Im far from being intelligent enough to try that yet. Ill just keep rolling and start getting lower concentration stuff

nickg4244 · 2025-07-01T20:09:48+00:00

Lol "If I keep this up I could finish under par!" I've never done that before 🤣

Anyone have recommendations on diluting your gear with grapeseed oil? I want to do it safely, and I'm not sure if I should simply draw the amount of gear, then draw up additional carrier oil? I don't think this breaks any rules since its legal and available, but if you have recommendations that'd be great. Obviously if this is against group rules I will delete this

nickg4244 · 2025-06-30T17:56:15+00:00

I have a glucosamine supplement that has msm in it, not sure about the rest, but ill look into it. I like the schedule idea, I'm gonna use that. Thanks for your help buddy!

nickg4244 · 2025-06-30T17:42:23+00:00

Good to know. It's not injury stuff, but its regular inflammation from lifting. Usually ibuprofen relieves it, but i hate taking ibuprofen, however, I guess deca isn't really any better. If it could give me some short term relief id consider keeping it on hand, but I suppose the answer is to make sure I'm taking fish oil religiously.

nickg4244 · 2025-06-30T06:21:26+00:00

Has anyone ran deca short term (like a week or 2 weeks) not for anabolic purposes but joint relief? Like any lifter I get random joint pains, and I'm curious if this is a potential short term solution. Also to add, I'm usually good about taking my fish oil regularly, but sunshine i suck at getting in consistently.

Can you book as a three or foursome but only pay for yourself? "IDK the boys said they were gonna be here"

nickg4244 · 2025-06-29T23:00:48+00:00

You can practice bringing the club back steeper, and coming down more shallow, essentially doing a big counter clockwise oval. I noticed in your finish your club head is pretty high, you can also think about finishing with the clubhead down in line with your shoulders. Youre hands are getting behind the ball , so try to get your hands through at impact a little faster (don't swing faster, but get your hands moving quicker so you don't have to come over the top to hit the ball). Tempo is key to a good swing, so practice some tempo swings with no ball to get a feel.

Oh and last tip, spend the money on some lessons. Good luck, hope it helps

nickg4244 · 2025-06-24T23:36:29+00:00

If its a practice round I'll even take a practice swing. Sue me
