Thank you very much for the reply on my last couple of questions my last cycle was after my competition with systanon 300, 200mg E3D and Dbol 50mg every day i did a PCT Clomifen 50mg a day and proviron 50mg for 14 days HCG 5000 3 injections EOD this is the only one in bulgaria we got so now i em off for 4 Months what do you think about the cycle i can give you my diet and training and more detailed backround.

and another question about Intraworkout supplement
i em from Bulgaria and we don’t have any Biotest supps so is there any other with a simillar effect and igridient i know that you say there is no other but somthing that i can use like Glycofuse or Intra-Fuel vitargo?
[/quote]

I will say it over and over again that nothing will give you a similar effect. I’m sure that you can have the Plazma shipped to Bulgaria, they ship worldwide from the T-Nation store. If you are able to find steroids there, I don’t think Plazma will be the issue

How long was your cycle? Did you mean Sustanon? If this is what you meant, then you did way too much HCG for such a low dosage. Something more like 1000iu every 3rd day for 6 weeks post cycle. If the HCG is coming in 5000iu viles you can just preload all of the syringes and use them separately rather than 5000 all in one shot. I’m guessing you might have done this because you had the schering snap tops

The plazma comes to expensive for me to buy it from here so thats i search something like this well i ment sustanon yes the cycle was from january till the begining of this mounth i started my prep january
did sustanon 250, 100mg a week with EQ 100mg and Dbol 20mg,second week i did incresed the doses little to 200mg EQ and sus. dbol to 30mg then from the forth week i decresed them to the 1 doses got HCG 5000 in two shots only one was used with 10 days rest then did another 5 weeks of Test P 200mg a week and 200mg EQ with 40mg Dbol for another 4 weeks took nolvadex 10mg a day two started ephedryne Ephedrine then changed then we changed the cycle with Mast 100mg E4D Tri-tren 100mg E4D and stanozolol 40mg a day with T3 25mcg(Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã??Ã?µg)(I don’t know if Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã???Ã??Ã?µg is mcg sry) 1 Tab before cardio got it up to 50mcg for 3weeks then changed 2 weeks before the show i belive to Wini and test S 100mg EOD with anapolon i don’t remember the dosage here then did the cycle i gave you and the PCT

If you can afford juice, surely you can afford quality supplements(it’s money you’d have to spend on food regardless) Supplements and nutrition are coming first before everything and by the looks of your cycle it’s all over the place and you can do without some of these things. I’m not sure what exactly you are asking but I would do things differently. I’m not sure why you did Anadrol at the end and why you’re using t3.
[/quote]

that was before my competition and my coach worked this ot for me didn’t quite got the last things i was so dump on my diet the t3 was before my cardio with the ephedrine i em novice in the steroid section so i was wanting to understand fully what my coach did and got some quality feedback from you mr.Shadow [/quote]

I would have done things differently but that’s my personal opinion. If you want to understand the reasons this was done then you’ll have to ask your coach. He should always be able to explain to you why he’s making certain choices and not say “just do it because I told you to”

Thank you for your time and kindess can you help me with a primary cycle for off season
tell me what kinda info you need and i will respond asap [/quote]

Post a picture and your diet so I can see where you’re at.

Oats 100gr.
raisins 59
2 230gr meat horse or pork steak 100gr rice
3 230grams meat with 300 grams potatos
4 230 grams meat with 100gr. rice
pre workout 5gr bcaa 7gr glutamine tribx 1 tablet
post workout 5gr bcaa with 7gr glutamine Vitargo 40gr and a 40gr whey
5 230 grams meat with 100gr. rice
6 5 Egg whits 1 whole egg cottage cheese 50gr
almonds 40-50 gr carb

thats basicly it the highest carb day i cycle them this is a primary every day i get my carbs differently more rice no potatos or another sorce
The day i do cardio i eat fish and mostly salads i em on low carbs [/quote]

Before anything, you need to start counting your macros and know exactly how much protein carbs and fat you’re having every day. Vitargo intraworkout is crap, it won’t give you anything except a sore stomach and bloating. If this is an off season diet, your carbs are way too low.

I think you don’t have enough knowledge to start another cycle, I think you have a lot more that you can improve naturally just with corrections to your diet and supplementation. Save your money and buy some good supplements and get a few more years of heavy training in before you start up again.

Hi whats opinion on Rich Pianas advice on rotating orals e.g. 3 days var 2 days dbol 2 days wini then back to the Var etc?[/quote]

Doesn’t sound appealing to me… None of those substances would have enough time in your blood to have any significant gains. It’s not something I have tried or anyone else for that matter. I am not rich piana so I don’t have opinions or reasons for his theories but I’d be the last guy to take advice from someone with chicken legs and arms filled with site enhancers.

GH really depends on your goal and your budget. If you are doing it for fat burning purposes, rule of thumb would be on an empty stomach or semi-empty stomach so 2 hours after food or 40 min before food is good. If you are doing it for muscle building purposes, post workout and before bed are my best options and in a higher dosage.

For insulin, I would only use Humalog… There’s a lot of posts at the beginning of this thread about my thoughts on this subject. In general, I suggest 10-15 min preworkout and then start sipping Plazma.

I am not really taking the half life of the orals into account, I’m just taking them about an hour or 2 pre-workout(with meal) and test-suspension about 30min before the workout.
[/quote]

Hello Shadow Pro,

I’ve read all 30 pages, and seen all your answers on this topic. Great info on slin & gh. I’m a bit confused on putting slin & HGH together.

If one has a 5IU daily HGH budget, and is running 10-20IU of slin preworkout (w/ Plazma), how should one dose the HGH? Split am/pm or single large dose near workout?

2.5IU First thing & 2.5IU 30min before preworkout slin dose?
5IU 30minutes before preworkout slin dose?
Dose the slin on its own pre workout, then POST workout have the GH?
Other?

Should one dose the humalog IM or Subq?

If one is 10% bodyfat is it doable to run slin & aas without GH? Or is it necessary to have slin & gh together? Would it ever be okay to run slin without GH and when?

Thanks!
[/quote]

In your case this is what I’d do if you have a budget for 5iu/day. 2.5iu first thing in the morning, 30 min later do 1/2 of your daily insulin dose followed by your appropriate meal. 2nd dose of GH is 2.5iu 60-90min pre-workout and 2nd 1/2 of insulin immediately before workout and then start sipping Plazma.

Insulin(Humalog)should be shot IM

I wouldn’t take insulin without the GH, it will help with muscle gains but can also put you at risk to gain a lot of fat.

Do you have any tips for minimizing bloating especially in the face? Adex and lots of water?[/quote]

Have you ever seen an off season pro that doesn’t have a round face?? On a serious note, yes anti-e’s and drinking lots of water can help and just keeping your bodyfat relatively low in the off season. I have found that regular sauna use can help too. Nothing will completely solve this, it’s just a part of the game.

Obviously I’m not Shadow Pro, but I reckon a lot of the moon face thing is just genetics. Some people get it way worse than others. I’m lucky that I don’t seem to get it at all, despite running my dbol a little higher than is necessary at times…

Using less product obviously would be the best way to go, but the test may be too low at 300mg. [/quote]

I agree… This goes for all side effects, some get it worse than others. Some guys even have it on stage. I have yet to see a guy running over 1g of test/week that doesn’t get this moon face to some extent.

ive ben on more but i got more fat so i reduced them with 15%

Shadow,

As said before, 30 year old been training for 5+ years. 6"2 / 190 lbs / BF 14%

On TRT for over a year now, wanting to up the ante and start a cycle. Budget and time wise I have a lot of room to play around. I have available right now:

Test C. (currently taking 150mg a week as TRT)

Adding in:

Tren A.
Mast P.

Plus I have 60 iu GH and 10.000 iu of hCG

In terms of orals I have arimidex, clomid and letrozole available.

How would I set it up? I’m a fan of slow and easy, closely monitoring blood work and side effects and going from there.

Anything I should absolutely try and add extra?[/quote]

You can do something like this.

Bump up the test to about 300mg/week

Tren-a 75mg eod

Mast-p 75mg eod

250iu HCG 2x/week

Adex .5 eod or e3d depending on sensitivity

GH- I don’t recall what your goal was. If it’s for muscle gains do post workout and before bed (3-4iu each shot would be perfect) or if your goal is fat loss then 60-90 min pre workout and first thing in the morning (3-4iu each shot)

Honestly, this is a great basic cycle… You could always add an oral if you want, something like anavar if you are trying to get leaner or tbol if you are trying to get bigger. But I wouldn’t say it’s an absolute MUST.
You could bump up the tren and mast to 100 eod but don’t do this until you hit a plateau and see if you have any sides. Obviously there’s people who take a lot more than this but you are right that starting slow is the best and I wouldn’t go over this if it’s the first time you’re trying tren.

I just saw these next two pictures… You are very lean… And I’m going to say not to use the Clen at all. This is a perfect example of how a natural athlete can look. Very impressive physique. I think you need some more mass and out of the 2 choices I gave you, I think the winstrol might be the better choice in this case.

[/quote]

Thank you for the honest response, (the kind words went down pretty well too)

While i havnt decided to make ‘the leap’ so to speak, on either case, it was massively helpful to hear your opinion. Ill stay away from the clen+t3 and give the winny some serious consideration. With the clomid on hand.

With regards to the addition of the proviron, would this have any long term benefits to the cycle in terms of lean net gains? Or would it just provide additional aesthetic benefits during the 8 weeks? I only as as id like to keep the substances to the minimum.

Thanks again[/quote]

After you finish the Proviron you should maintain an overall harder look post cycle and it can be used as a precaution for side effects. Also, if you use it you most likely won’t have to take the clomid after. Either way will work, you don’t have to use it I was just giving you another option. And props to you for wanting to keep the substances to a minimum, it’s rare these days!
[/quote]

Thankyou gain for the response. Please dont misunderstand, i am certainly not second guessing your advice, just trying to understand the specific purpose of the proviron, but i appreciate the extra options.

A final question, which i havnt seen asked yet, is are there any speific vitamins/minerals or supplements you advise people to add specificly during a cycle?

I currently use:
Vit d
Superfood/greens
Creatine
ZMA
Vit B complex
omega 3 (High Epa & dha)

Anything critical/useful missing?

Thanks again for your time

Is there any problem in taking T3 while raking as well yohimbine or ECA? I know that with clen it’s normal.

Is there any minimum time someone should be on t3 before stopping it to avoid messing with its natural production? For example, would it be a problem to take it for 2 weeks, have a 2 weeks break and then go back on it.

And… what to do/take after stopping takingnit to help restore natural production?[/quote]

No problem to take yohimbe or ECA with t3. These are more stimulant based and t3 is working on your thyroid gland, they have a synergetic effect in the fat burning process so it can be a good idea if you know what you’re doing.

I wouldn’t say there’s a minimum time to stay on t3 but it’s VERY IMPORTANT to taper up and taper down. I wouldn’t increase more than 25mcg every week (12.5 would be more advisable). When you decide to taper down from your peak dose, take 3-4 weeks to slowly taper it back down depending on how high your dose was.
[/quote]

So basically I want to know if it would be a problem for someone to use only 12.5mcg per day (going up to 25mcg if everything is going well).Ã? And to do it for only 2 weeks at the end of the cutting phase. Hence why my question regarding minimum dose and minimum time to be on it.Ã?Â

Would it be ok to be on 12.5 for the first week, 25mcg for the second week and then come off from 25mcg or would it be better to go back down to 12.5 for a few days at least before the end?� Would it be ok after this I mentioned, to take a 1 week or 2 break and go back on it for a while more if necessary according to how things are progressing?

*sorry, wanted to have quoted it before but ended up sending the same as a random question.

[/quote]

Thanks for quoting it.

2 weeks won’t be enough time to get your desired results… I would do a minimum of 4 weeks and preferably 6. Do 12.5mcg for the first week, bump it up to 25 and then taper back down to 12.5mcg before coming off… Do not just stop at 25

If you are taking it for 4-6 weeks, take the same amount of time off before starting again… Don’t go on and off in 2 week periods.

Shadow Pro,
First this is a great thread. Two questions for you.

      1.  I know you only use/recommend pharm grade HGH.  What about oils and orals?
      2. I am 42yrs old and have been training since I was 15yrs old.  However, in the last few years there has been very little lifting going on.  I am ready to hit the gym hard again and was wondering how long I should wait to start a cycle.  I have done several basic test cycles in the past and have included Adex and Hcg along with a proper PCT.

Thanks.[/quote]

1. If you can get pharm grade orals/oils that’s great and if not just find a reputable ug lab to use.
   2.i would wait at least 3-4 months until you have been consistently training for this amount of time and start to feel back in the groove. If you are starting to plateau then you can start back up again. It won’t give you the best benefit if you start before you get back into your training rhythm.

Hi Shadow Pro,

Would 10 mg of Var for a 18yr old female who is trying to lose the last little of fat for a physique competition in August be beneficial?

I have been on Anavar 10mg for 16 days now. Drastic changes within the 10 days of taking. I have no side effects at all.
I lift heavy 5 days a week. 45 min fasted cardio 7 days a week.
Transitioning into a keto diet for the remainder of the time until my shows. [/quote]

Anavar is not used for fat loss in females but more for a harder look and muscle gains. If it’s quality anavar you won’t hold any water with it so you won’t have a problem taking it close to a show.

I’m assuming the drastic changes are more due to your diet than the anavar itself. In 16 days the anavar should make you look harder and be stronger in the gym for sure.

How far away is your show?

On a side note… At 18 years old I think it’s way too early to start these drugs. You look great in your pictures and I think you can do shows naturally for the next few years with your genetics. The right supplements and training will take you a lot further than you think. I am also not a huge fan of a keto diet, especially for a physique competitor… A diet involving carbs will give you a better look on stage and more energy throughout the day to maximize your training.

Thank you very much for sharing your photos.

You’re welcome. That’s why I’m here because they are the best supplements around, in terms of recovery I am getting better results from the supplements than the juice itself. And yes, I usually try to keep my stock of Biotest supplements up… I have to order every few weeks because I fly through the Plazma.

I didn’t think you were second guessing the advice, I just wanted to give you another option just incase you wanted to try it and I want you to get the most out of your first cycle.

Looking at your list of supplements, what you are taking is good but add or replace the following (these are MUST HAVES)

• Plazma (2-3 servings) you are very lean so your body will utilize this to help you grow and recover. For me it’s the most important supplement, period!
  -Micro-PA. This will enhance your cycle as well, it will promote muscle gains and strength. It will give you a fuller/harder look and favorably change your body composition. If you aren’t ready to start your cycle yet, this is something you’d probably like to try right away either way.
  -Elitepro multimineral. These are best if taken post workout. It will help with cramping, sometimes a cycle might mess with your electrolyte balance so this will help.
  -Creatine Malate ( not monohydrate)
• Flameout in place of regular omega-3. Optimal ratio of DHA, EPA and CLA

[Ricardo_Brentani]

Thanks for the quick reply shadow, looking back i found your sugestions for a first cycle, but nothing about switching up compounds that fast (weekly)… Do you think it makes sense? Or its just not enough time for them to kick in?

[futurephysique]

Thank you for the advice! My shows are the 2nd and 9th.

What diet would you recommend then? I have been in transition into this coach who wants me to do keto now from a previous coach that was trying to blame bad genetics on why I couldn’t lose weight efficiently ( in the 10 weeks she coached me I only lost 4 lbs when I was maintaining at 3000k cal without cardio, so her way didn’t work well with me at all ) so I found the new coach wanting me to do keto after he had me do 10 days of 2 low carb day and 1 high carb day which either from that diet or the fact I started lifting heavy again ( old fired coach wanted me lifting light weight so I had been for about 1 month ) worked wonders and 4 abs showed up within days.

The var is defiantly working its magic in my lifts as I jump weight each week drastically.

Also I plan on taking MHP Xpel for helping me with drying out with a show I have the 28th of this month ( next weekend ) but I don’t know if I should start it wednesday morning or thursday morning

Apologies on missing the threads on EQ. I’ll go back and take a look for sure and see what i can gather from them. I have two 50 cc bottles of it that I got cuz i was told they would harden me up and make me vascular. i’ll have to save them for a time when i wanna put some beef back on.

So just to clarify: Anavar OR Winstrol (oral), but not taken simultaneously? at what dosage would you recommend using these compounds? I’ve only really taken up to 30 mg of anavar in the past and iv never touched Winny.

Would you recommend me bumping up the HGH? iv kept it low due to fear of sides (acromegaly being the most extreme, too much water bloat being the primary reason) but I havent really gotten the freaky shredded results I see guys who use it get. I want my ninja turtle shoulders!! haha I bumped it up from 2ius to 3ius (one shot a day) at one point a few months ago and i noticed my left hand kept going numb. So i took it down and then it was fine. But perhaps i should slowly work my way back up to get some of the results im paying an arm and a leg for? Im using serostim brand.

If I bump it up, when should i take my shots. Upon rising and bedtime?

Thank you for the test prop idea. Iv never used any test but it perhaps i should. Could you tell me why test prop as opposed to Test E or any other form of test?

Lastly, Could trenbolone ever be a good addition for my goals? Iv heard such wonderful things about it that the athlete in me wants to grab at it, but perhaps thats not a good idea.

Again, Thank you so much good sir. loving all of this.

In your case this is what I’d do if you have a budget for 5iu/day. 2.5iu first thing in the morning, 30 min later do 1/2 of your daily insulin dose followed by your appropriate meal. 2nd dose of GH is 2.5iu 60-90min pre-workout and 2nd 1/2 of insulin immediately before workout and then start sipping Plazma.

Insulin(Humalog)should be shot IM

I wouldn’t take insulin without the GH, it will help with muscle gains but can also put you at risk to gain a lot of fat.

Thank you for your response sir!

As you mention, I’m having difficulty having 0g fat in my whole food meals (post plazma sipping or after am slin).
One rice cake has 0.3g of fat and 9g of carbs, so if I have 3 rice cakes I already have 1g of fat. One cup of oats has at least 3g of fat!

What do you think of these solid meal ideas for no carbs?
Meal A:
-0% fat yogurt (50% of protein)
-Whey isolate (50% of protein)
-Rice or rice cakes (30% of carbs)
-Bananas, apples, fruit (70% of carbs)

Meal B:
-Egg white (50% of protein)
-Whey isolate (50% of protein)
-Fruit (50% carbs)
-Potato (50% carbs)

You mentioned a few times the magic formula of 10IU humalog + 100g carbs/3 servings plazma.
Is there any benefit in having fewer grams of carbs than 1IU to 10g? Is there any downsides to having too much carbs vs slin dose? How would one find the “ideal ratio” of slin to carbs? How would I find the ideal ratio for myself? Bring a glucometer and measure BG every 10-15 mins?

For example when I started out, I wanted to familiarize myself with the feel of slin.

Day 1: 5IU humalog, (1:10g) => 50g carbs from plazma (felt great)
Day 2: 6IU humalog, (1:9g) => 54g carbs from plazma (still felt great)
Day 3: …

Are there any supplements we should take to improve insulin sensitivity? R-ALA? Vanadium? Herbs?
