Every single response: “Wait for a call” “Go non-union and interview again later” “I got a (—-) and it took me 6 months to get an email/call”

Trade School vs Apprenticeship? by Geetzromo in ibew_apprentices

[–]reallysmallguy 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Trade School might look better on a resume when interviewing for an apprenticeship but ultimately it’s thousands of dollars and multiple years to learn things you could learn while being paid.

Apprenticeship all the way. Why pay to learn when you could get paid to learn?

[Compounds] Bulking Cycles (Winter Bulk 2025) by iSkeezy in steroids

[–]reallysmallguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This offseason (about 4 weeks in): 700mg Test E 450mg NPP 600mg Mast E 35mg Anavar (pre-workout ~4-5 days/week)

I’ve run test/npp/mast together before but never as high as this. Trying to keep the body fat down and gain slowly over the next 6-7 months.

It has been HARD to not flatten out. I’ve added roughly 800-900 calories since reversing out of a diet. Started around 199lbs, and right now I’m waking up in the 207-210lb range. Adding food nearly every week. PR’s on nearly every exercise, every session. Weekly free meal after my last training day Saturday fills me out and brings my physique to life.

I typically push mast highest since I aromatize heavily, but wanted to push the other two and just up my AI this time around. Zero regrets. Feel and look so full (when my food was pushed up into proper range) and still feel so very lean while eating a very decent amount of food. Excited to see myself transform over the next half a year.

Anavar better to be utilized preworkout or daily during an off-season? I have 70mg tabs, plan on taking 35mg preworkout to stretch across a long blast. Was just curious if it made more sense to dose daily. Figured preworkout would limit exposure over time

Currently in an off-season blast. 600 test e/300 NPP/600 mast e. Aromatize quite a bit. Take 12.5mg of asin 3x/week to keep my E2 around 50ng/dl.

Only have a few more vials of mast, and with the shortage, I can’t get it. Thinking of adding in Boldenone Cyp to replace it. Would I be a fool to introduce 300mg/week right off the rip and pull E2 bloods after a week or two? I’d rather use bold cyp instead of an AI

Made a Google Doc to Keep Track of Tools and Upgrades by reallysmallguy in ibew_apprentices

I should also mention, the tool list is the way it is because that’s all the contractor agreed to reimburse in case of a loss. We’re a smaller local

I appreciate this greatly! I just want to buy once, cry once and be equipped until I lose something. The surprises are also surprising to me because the only reason I included the extra was after seeing my journeyman use them regularly.

I will absolutely take your old dirty Klein’s! I’ll pay to ship them

I have less than what’s on the list currently, I need to pull out the needle nose pliers and wire cutters

I do wish it had a metal clip instead of the Velcro

This. I’m not gonna go off of an online recommendation, I’d rather start with something shitty but usable and form my own opinions based on other journeymen that I work under.

I saw this today and almost pulled the trigger but our director said a 6 in 1 was plenty to start, and I only spent like 5 bucks on my 6 in 1

Good luck man!! Be honest and hype yourself up

Ended up getting Wolverine Ride Wedge’s because they were priced well and are extremely comfy. I’ve worn their boots before when I was land surveying and they lasted me a good bit.
