Yes, it's true there are lots of variables. Perhaps "most" was the wrong way to word it.

A better way would be that if you have already reached your potential as a natural, gains made beyond your natural limits will be increasingly difficult to maintain off-cycle.

I fully admit to not being a steroid expert. From the research I've done and guys I've talked to about it, you're going to keep more of the muscle if you train and eat smartly if you haven't yet reached your potential. Older guys that have been training for decades that decide to do a cycle have a much more difficult time keeping it when they're off, simply because they don't have the ability to train off cycle like they do on cycle and can't keep it.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

so, for someone who knows nothing about juicing, do you maintain the gains that you get if you get off of the sauce? that's a pretty serious change to your body composition in a short time. Ois it sustainable without the chemicals?


You will lose some weight after a blast but if you "do it right" you're going to cruise on a low test dude and you can continue to make gains even while not "on cycle"...

The guys you see that blow the fuck up and then shrink back down likely did it with orals, never controlled their bloat and immediately lose 20 pounds after stopping and then not doing a PCT...

I don't plan to need any post cycle therapy cause I'll still be taking a small dose of test every week before I blast off again...

Aren't you worried about the long-term effects of never really coming off of the drugs? That's the kind of stuff that scares me enough to stay away. I'd feel nervous even if it were monitored by a doctor, though.

Not an expert on blast and cruise, but I did stay at a holiday inn express, studied chemistry, and just got prescribed TRT and have done a ton of research on it. Yes, my total T was low at 286 and 255 ng/dL on 2 different tests. If he cruises at 200 mg/week or less, that would put him at the upper high end of the "normal" range of 348-1197 ng/dL total T. Assuming he keeps E2 in check with an AI (if necessary) and monitors his hematocrit/hemoglobin, there really isn't much risk with TRT levels of test. If hematocrit gets too high then TRT patients can donate blood. As a "recreational" user he would have to either lie about that, pay for therapeutic phlebotomy, or drain it himself. He may need 250-500 IU of hCG 2x a week to prevent testicular atrophy, if that is an issue to him. The blasting part I don't really know how that will affect overall health, I would assume it depends on which compounds are used (e.g. 17-methylated steroids are hepatotoxic and will damage the liver if used in high dosages and/or for long periods).

Starting next week I will be on 160mg 1x a week, .5mg adex 2x a week, and 500IU hCG 2x a week. I'm under supervision of a licensed physician and will be doing routine bloodwork to monitor everything.

The testosterone is because I have total and free testosterone values below the normal range. Average for my age is 650-ish, I am mid to high 200's for total T. I have depression, low libido, and other issues that go along with low testosterone. I have tried Clomid and it boosted my T while on but it fell back after cessation. hCG monotherapy failed as well. The adex is to keep estrogen down and the hCG is to prevent testicular atrophy.

The issue I have with bridging is that T levels are highly interindividualized. What is low for person A may be normal for person B, and vice versa. I know a lot of AS guys are very careful, and I know Diezel will be. It still just seems freaky scary to me

As stated a TRT dose presents next to no health concerns aside from the possible need to donate blood from time to time... I did ALOT of research on this shit for a long time and shied away so many times but finally said fuck it and gave it a go...

I'll likely run 250mg a week for 8 weeks after I finish this blast and then add another compound I to the mix and see how I react to it... I'd say not to add multiple compounds together cause you won't know which one your body dies not like...

I didn't need any AI when I was on 500mg a week... I used it once out of sheer anxiety that I was gonna get gyno, but your mind will fuck with you... Since I've upped my dose I'm taking the AI just to control my water... Seems to be working as my weight stabilized and have actually started leaving out just a smidge while eating at maintenance cals...

Started working out again this weekend. It was crazy depressing. I've worked out here and there (couple times a month - every few months) but I haven't been dedicated for over two years now.

It felt good to be back. I just need to stick with it, gain momentum, and become addicted again.

Then... 2012...








Now... \:\(

The results are super impressive, but if that (bulk) were that my goal, the pussy in me would be to afraid of side effects. With my luck, something would go hideously wrong.

Cyclists were/are about the discreet testosterone patch on the ol' scrotum to help post-race recovery.

Aren't you guys afraid of getting busted? It seems to me that would be worse than some of the potential side effects. Maybe they only go after the dealers and not the users but it seems really risky.

Yeah I'm a small guy naturally. 5'8" 150 normally - 175 when lifting (top pic)

I was on 250 Test E, 400 Tren E, 400 EQ weekly.

Yeah I have in the past and I liked it. I got tired of being a pin cushion though and switched back to E. I can't hit many injection sites by myself. With no help I was left with rotating quads and delts. E gave my sites a little more rest than ace

Yeah pinning eod can get to be a pita I'm sure... Just seems most people much prefer ace over e in general... I've yet to try it but likely will come March after my cruise is finished...

In all seriousness, if you actually learned how to bench (just making your body into a more stable platform with your feet and back), you could instantly add probably 30-40 pounds to what you just did.

Yeah, plus I think the bench was in the wrong spot because the bar was banging on the rest stop things too. The whole thing felt pretty ugly, but it was just a spur of the moment thing.

Would like to start a short cycle to stack on what I feel is lacking. Just worried I'll continue once I see the gains. Some mean shouldes will make me a god.
Reluctant to ask for them, would rather be offered.

I don't know how much steroids cost but I wouldn't doubt they are cheaper than supplements. Uggh.

The only thing I've done is clomid but its pretty harmless (and not nearly as effective). lol

So call him out, that's fair, but don't assume because a video isn't posted immediately, he's weak. I've dled 500 and squatted 405. Benched 330 and chin upswith 45s strapped to my waist. I do 90-95% of that today, then run 8 miles with sprints.

Keep reality in check.
Yes.


But see, you're a large male too. You can bench 3 plates, dead 500 pounds and run 10 miles and not have to have a blog, youtube channel, avatar, etc all about it. And, no homo, you look the part too. And, much like me, before you leaned out you were just large but still hefty.


It's like wolfsburg too. He's always been able to out bench me. I think he repped my max like 3-4 times. (365)




Just thought this was worth re-upping \:\)
