I’ve been researching some of the lipid effects from different steroids. I see a lot of people speaking about the dangers of low HDL from certain anabolics. Some of the research I have come across suggests that the low HDL stems from increased breakdown (meaning increased clearance by the liver) as opposed to an effect of insulin resistance. This later factor is what I think people are afraid of: people with low HDL/high TG’s often have metabolic disease in the spectrum of insulin resistance and diabetes. Therefore the thought would be low HDL is “bad.”Just curious if there any experts or medical doctors who can provide any additional information.

Been on a Trt 200mg for about 6 months now after being diagnosed hypogonadic(test came back at 260 after noticing symptoms), all bloodwork is solid and within range, bp is good.

I am a high aromatizer(mostly because of high body fat) but am actively losing weight and don’t expect it to be an issue in the future. E2 came back at 95 with total t at 1400 peak on 200mg

Thinking of running a first cycle and thinking
300 test
200 primo
1mg tesa(puts me at an ideal Igf)
4-6mg Reta

Thoughts? Thinking to run primo to help with the elevated e2, and love the sleep benefits from Tesa and the appetite suppression from Reta.

Hey guys. I’m weening off anadrol (50mg/pw-daily/x4 weeks), I run 500iu HCG/week and I run a very small amount of test-e (like 150mg/week)

I just brought NPP into the mix, running pretty much a 1:1.5 ratio test-e:npp (225mg NPP). I pin EOD.

My nips are burning 1 hour after NPP. I don’t know if it’s the cold weather or do i need to pop an AI and ditch the NPP, stat?

I feel strong.

Also taking cardarine 10mg/daily to get more sets in. God help me. Please God help me. I think my face might be melting and I can’t find my BP cuff.

As the title says: I was hornier as a natural.

Super weird and I miss having my crazy high libido. I could not go a day without rubbing atleast one.

I have tried alot of different protocols and compounds but libido is low on gear, even with girls I don’t really feel that excited and dont get a full on hard on..

Any solution?

Currently dropped to 300 test 100 EQ from being on 525 Test 200 EQ

Hey everyone
my boldenone finally saturated and a 2:1 ratio (600test 300bold) leaves me at 60pg/ml e2 and i am experiencing mild high e2 sides.
Just alittle moody, and more bloated than id like to be, none of those bad high e2 acne i get when e2 is out of control so its not that bad.

Im planning on raising my bold dose, but here lies the question, how much would you reckon if my sweet spot is 20-40pg/ml e2?
go to 350, 400bold?

Just trying to gague a common consensus how linearly or not boldenone stopped aromitization for you guys

Hi everyone,

I have a classic push/pull/leg workout routine.

But I enjoy going to the gym often for fun. In your opinion, how stupid is it to train without a full rest day, even with 500mg of testosterone per week?

Would you make one full rest day mandatory? Two minimum? Is there a way to train 6 or 7 days a week without compromising recovery?

Thanks!

In your opinion, is it more advantageous to have a low rate of aromatization or a high rate of aromatization?

Have been running between 200-300 test for the past 4-5 months. Usually cypionate twice a week at around 80mg each time. And then the rest in propionate, usually daily at this point. Since I am used to the daily pins (though not sure how long one can go on pinning daily) i was thinking the ace would be better, as it also leaves system quickest if there are sides and I can tilt rate easier

The plan was to start with 5-10mg tren a daily. But homestyly prob 10. My question is should I jump right to it? Or dial back test dose for a bit. The test propionate should leave system quickly. I wanna test it out, can you do it for say a week and stop? I wanna have a prime beach body late January so trying to plan tbis cycle around that too. Should I pin the tren ace with test prop, or use test cypionate even though I'm still pinning the tren a daily? Or should the tren A be eod? Im looking to minimize side effects and have it overall be kinda "light" which is an oxymoron for tren but I mean microdose. I am serious into lift and do it daily and have been but im not exactly a professional bodybuilder yet or going to competitions.

Thanks

I’m on TRT via S&H in Canada. I was taking 110mg a week which brought me just under 1000 ng/dl on my last labs.

My provider is okay with that, but didn’t want me higher. I’ve decided to increase to 150mg a week.

Should i drop before my next bloodwork? If so, how soon before?

Topical Superdrol

DMSO is most of the time used for oral compounds,

but people forget that it also has the ability to take whatever compound is dissolved with it when used topically at around (25-40% in studies 50-70% anecdotally).

The best absorption is testicles and armpits.
It hits the bloodstream within 15 minutes but takes 2-8 hours to peak.

I have Superdrol in dmso. Will be tryng 15mg on armpits tomorrow split 4-2-1 hours before lift.

Worse case scenario I smell like shi and nothing happens or I get a slight irritation rash

I don’t think this is a better way of doing it im just curious to try it.

(I have heard of d1 athletes do this as it makes it less detectable)

Any questions, comments, concerns?

Update pre gym: I now have greasy garlic balls

Post gym update: amazing pump amazing session moved up on the weight on every lift( I know this will go away ) yes it works guys.

I know that the follicles sensitivity is what matters to hairloss regardless of DHT levels. but lets say a genetically prone individual to hairloss takes 70mg of tren vs 600, would he get the same hairloss regardless of the dose? as in would the 70mg give the same androgenic signalling as a higher dose?

Looking for feedback.

20 Yr Old Male | 5' 8 | 150 pounds | Working out for two years, decent natty physique.

Goal: To stay around the same weight but lean out and gain more muscle.

How: Looking to run a 3 month low dose cycle of 150 Test E with a moderate dose of Primo, dose undecided at the moment. I know I might get some backlash on my age, but I have enclo ready for post cycle and will be doing cardio, supplementing, and eating well on the cycle. I am also not taking a huge amount of test, so I assume total shutdown will happen, but I also expect a solid recovery.

Any thoughts on the cycle?

Previously, Perplexity and, to a lesser degree, Claude, provided information on PEDs and protocols. My first query was "build me a table of HGH doses and fequencies from mild to extreme in wellness and bodybuilding communities". Perfect, it gave me a spectrum with detailed information.

Now that is no longer possible. Is anyone else seeing this and are there alternative LLMs/services I can access?

Today, ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity provide no information (let alone advice) on dosages and information. Grok does to some degree but has also taken a step back.

Interestingly, I can still access old threads and when I say 'reproduce what you already gave me" and it says "i can't and I shouldn't have" etc etc.

In your opinion, what should the ratio of Masteron P to Test E be when I add it to my current cycle? I’m using 300 mg of Test E; my body fat is around 15–16%, and I’m in a strict cutting phase. Should I start with a low dose—like 150 mg—to see how it goes, or just jump straight to 300 mg? I used to need a bit of an AI when running 300 mg of Test; how do you think my body might react regarding E2 levels if I add 300 mg of Masteron?

I always hear about masteron destroying everyones hairline.. But what if your asian with good hair genes? Will the reaper still come for me?

Hello guys i just did blood work and
T3 is 1.15 (normal 1.3-3.1)
T4 is 63.7 (normal 66-181)
TSH is 2.80 (normal 0.27-4.20)

Im on 350Test 70Tren nothing else , i did not use T3 or T4 .
Before tren everything was normal
Its been 2 months im on it and thyroid is low

Thats from tren right? I actually thought tren should also crash TSH with it , thats why im asking if its from tren.
And its kinda weird to me cuz its only 70mg a week?

Anyways what should i do , should i supplement t4? How much ? I really dont wanna overshoot anything ? And will T4 make me flat if it puts my in normal range?

Any advice gonna be appreciated

Any one else has stomach and acid reflux problems on clomid ?

If you do use orals on cycle do you prefer adding orals to the start of your injectable cycle or end?

I'm currently 6 weeks into a 12 week bulk and planning for my cut. Current stack is 600 sustanon, 300 npp, 50 anadrol ED. Bloodwork looks good other than cholesterol.

I'm planning on running reta, tren a, mast e, anavar 25 and 50, as well as sustanon.

I know I risk sounding like a tard when I ask this, but what should my doses be? I have experience with mast and anavar, but not tren. Last time I ran mast at 300mg with 500 test, and anavar 50 with 500 test. I had good results with both.

I've been seeing other users "cutting dosages" in other post, and it seems like they're running way less than I would think you're "supposed" to run. If I can get similar results with lower dosages, I'd much rather do that opposed to running over a I'd like some advice with planning this stack or some personal experiences with using all of these compounds together.

Hey yall,

Dealing with something that's new to me, Ive run many cycles before and had no problem just stopping at the end and not dealing with many after effects since I'm on TRT through my doctor. Usually I'll feel a little fatigue and lethargy and a little weakness but it subsides within a week or so. So this is kind of tripping me out.

I finished my cycle of Super about 4 days ago. I was taking 20mg a day, 10 in the morning pre-workout and 10 in the evening, to keep blood levels more steady. Full cycle only lasted 3 weeks. It ended with a bit of heightened anxiety but nothing too crazy. On top of that I use 200mg test cyp a week, ive gone up to 300 and 400 before but 200 to 250 seems to be where I feel best.

However, since stopping, each night I've been waking up throughout the night to panic attacks. I can hardly sleep at all as well. On top of that I've had absolutely CRUSHING depression and INSANE day-time Anxiety creep up over the past 3 days coupled with an exhaustion and fatigue that I have never felt before, I can hardly drag myself around all I want to do is sleep. Man I just feel like death allday.

I got my post cycle tests done 2 days ago and my e2 was high (76), so I took .25 ari like I do when that happens. But nothings helped whatsoever. I even did one of my (twice weekly) 100mg test cyp pins today early and it did nothing for me, I've only gotten worse through the day, I had to leave work early, i just couldnt stay on my feet any longer.

Needless to say, I'm going to take a long break from PEDs after this (besides test, always been a good reliable one for me that generally makes me feel better on a daily basis), if I ever even do go back (dont think ive ever felt this low before), but does anyone have any recs on getting past this? More bloodwork? More frequent or higher test for the time being? Anyone experienced this before? I have no idea why Its never happened with any cycle before but is now.

Before starting steroids 3 years ago i barely had any gray hair now fast forward i get lots of people telling me that i have a lot of grey hair which is wild lol not really bothered by it much but interested if anyone has this side as well?

I see some trt guys they take 1mg Once a week or something like that. But half life is 40-48h then ur e2 gonna bounce again.

Isnt it better to dose adex EOD ?

Dont mention asin at all , I already know everything about it. I have been using it for a year, my question is related to adex.

Hadn’t considered this prior to using one, but can the heat from mug warmers damage gear?

The first several times I used it, I left it on the high setting (175F) for probably 10-15 minutes while I showered. Have since used it at 125, but am concerned I possibly hurt potency by running it so high.
