Shadow Pro Q&A 2.0

First, Shadow Pro, thank you for all the information you have been providing. I have been following your threads for a while now and have recently got on my first cycle. All of your input has been very valuable.

I am posting for the first time, because I have an issue that just popped up. I am currently 3 weeks into my first cycle and things are going well. I am just taking 500 mg of Test-E (250mg 2x week).

However, I just found out that in about a month I will have to go through a period of about 7-10 days without pinning (worst case is up to 14 days). I can’t get into the details as of why, but it just wont be possible. I am just starting to see significant gains and want to continue on my cycle after this period.

What should I do?
Is this too long of a period between pins?
What would be the longest period you would recommend going withought pinning Test-E?
Will I start to see negative effects/gyno/etc during this time?

If you recomend getting off the cycle (I really don’t want to do this) how should I do my PCT, and how long should I take off before I get back on the cycle?

Sorry for the long message, but I value your opinion and I really need some guidance on this issue. Thanks.
[/quote]

This is not ideal but you can continue the cycle when you get back. Do 1 shot of 500mg the day you leave and another one with 500 the day you come back. Test-e is staying in your system for 10-12 days so even though you miss the shots it will still be active in your system.

If possible you should take 10-20mg of nolvadex on the days you’re away and stay on it when you get back.

I really doubt you’ll feel any kind of side effects from this because it’s not a long enough time for the test to get out of your system completely.

Hey Shadow Pro!!!
First of all thanks for your contribution here. finally we found the voice of truth and honesty.
I had before like ton of questions but you almost replied all of them in your previous answers.
I attached my pics and here my status:
Age:35
History: lifting many years ago. obsessed with power and strength.
muscle once per week.
low sets DORIAN STYLE.
Reps: No more than 4 reps ever :slight_smile:
Basic compound lifts mainly.
Diet:2 to 3 LBS of Meat Along with Salad and fruits divided on few meals daily.
250 Mg Enanthate every other day. some times i add 100 Mg Anapolon if i have some.
My questions Are:

1-Clen dose as being stimulant only, not for fat loss?
2-Aspirin before workout benefits?
3-benefits of Potassium and Taurineâ?? with Insulin?
4-the fastest natural/normal sugar source to combat Hypoglycemia?
5-Test Enanthate every Third day will maintain stable levels in blood , or every other day is a better practice?
6-Mataformin doses to enhance insulin sensitivity?
7-what would be Aromasin dose with 250 Mg Test Every other day?

THANK YOU SO MUCH

1.i wouldn’t use Clen for stimulant purposes, there are a lot better stimulants for that purpose. Have a spike double shot before your workout and you’ll experience a better effect.

2.unless it’s part of an ECA stack, I wouldn’t take it.

3.if you’re using insulin you need to take extra minerals, potassium being one of them. The taurine isn’t a bad idea either. Just take extra minerals and Aminos in general.

  1. Plazma

5.every 3rd day is more than enough. Short esters are the ones you use every day or every other day.

  1. Not a big fan of it, you can use it if you want. Dosages are individual.

  2. With this kind of dose I would probably take 20mg of nolvadex everyday. I would prefer it over Aromasin especially with high test dosages. That’s my personal opinion but either way will work.

shadow,VIC just won in tampa and bonac was second,hide took the 212.
i think victor was goood,not great but it was his best showing after the arnold europe that he won in spain.bonac looks fantastic by himself but looks short/small next to others,great physique anyway,moe in third seems like a joke

in 212 ive seen hide looking much better,his arms looks smaller,his waist bigger and i washnt impressed with his condition …i really liked thomas benagli,have him first or second actually,but iam not a judge! whats your opinion about the results and the guys?[/quote]

I think Victors genetics, structure and round muscle bellies made him a clear cut winner here. I didn’t like the 3rd place finish either, I think it was a gift… I would put Max Charles in 3rd.

Hide was a close fight with Marvin Ward. This is one of the best I’ve ever seen Marvin, you gotta love the “Pocket Hercules” I think Hide beat him on size. I think Hide at 100% can be a top 3 212 guy… Don’t forget this dude finished top 10 in the open Olympia and won several shows. He’s also one of the best posers in the IFBB.

Bengali needs to come more conditioned in order to make an impact… He has pretty lines but he’s not hard enough in my opinion. I think Tricky got another gift as a 3rd place finish in the 212 but if I’m not mistaken he’s in his late 40’s and still going strong and he is also one of the best posers in the IFBB.

The 212 class is getting crazy. Almost 30 competitors in every show this year, you gotta give some respect to these shorty’s!

What’s your take on fatloading pre-contest and how/when do you do it.

Been using Deca so far this cycle and hating it LOL. Been doing 450mg 2x a week. Do you think it would be better to just stop and start Tren Enanthate instead and what dose would you use?

Shadow Pro, thank you for all the help and information you have shared on here. I have been reading through the forums here for the last 8 months trying to learn as much as I can before I start my first cycle and I am getting close to starting one but wanted to run it by you before I start it. Sorry for posting another “first cycle” but I want to make sure I have it checked out before I start.

Background information: I am 26, was a collegiate athlete through college (swimmer) and have been lifting for the last 8. I recently signed on with a coach since my results haven’t been where they need to be. He tweaked my diet and cut me down to 175lbs and measured me at 7% body fat (I am 6’). After cutting down now it is time to start adding on mass. Even with proper diet my body is very slow to put on mass which is why I am here now after lots of research I am ready to take the step.

Here is what I came up with for a first cycle:

W 1-4 Dbol 10mg 3x/d (wasn’t 100% sure if I would need a kick start or not for a first cycle)
W 1-10 Test Enth 250mg E3D
W 1-12 Adex 0.25mg EOD
W 3-10 HCG 250iu 3x/w

PCT
W 13 Nolva 20mg 2x/d and Clomid 50mg 2x/d
W 14-16 Nolva 20mg/d and Clomid 25mg/d

Thank you so much for your time and help, I really appreciate it.[/quote]

If you’ve been lifting for 8 years I would expect to see more muscle mass, I’m assuming this is because of doing a lot of cardio and swimming??

If you’re still swimming competitively then putting on muscle mass could be tricky. What are you taking for supplements now? And how does your diet look? Without a perfect diet/supplementation/training then the cycle won’t give you optimal results. According to the photo I’d say you’re around 10% bodyfat so if your diet and supplementation is on track then you’ll be in a good place to start.

As for your cycle, everything looks good except you can run the dbol at this dose for 6 weeks instead of 4.

It’s not usually a good idea. It could be used in an emergency, but I wouldn’t usually recommend it… For example: if you’re waking up super flat the morning of the show (this shouldn’t happen unless you’re taking too many diuretics or diet is off)
Most of the people who use it are the ones who use low-carb diets in the prep or keto (which is a bad idea for male bodybuilders)

It should never be something you “plan” to do the night before… All decisions before the show should be made on a daily basis. Most guys use relatively high carb diets leading up to the show and a carb load will be superior in most cases if it’s done correctly.

No wonder you feel like crap… 900mg of deca every week! I don’t know anyone who uses that much. Whoever told you to take that much needs to figure his shit out. If I remember correctly, you are competing at a regional level?

Yes, I think it’s a good idea to lower the dose and see how you feel. Your question regarding the tren would be goal dependent, I can give you more information if I see pictures and know what you’re trying to achieve.

One more thing i would like you to highligh:

1-Ideal volume for the muscle if trained once a week vs. twice a week.
2-For strenght purposes without adding weight, what would be best drug.

Wife is back lol so can you comment on that cycle/diet please.

Shadow,

I almost cut carbs but. Im training with high volume everyday with mountaindog workouts. Im
7 weeks out getting good results and keeping mass cutting slowly carbs. But this week I only have them pre workout and intra.

How much Plazma can I use? I’m taking 6 caps of Indigo and 6 caps of Micro Pa, plus 1.5 Mag-10 30 min after training.

How do you use Indigo in pre contest?

Thanks

Hey shadow

Im 5 weeks out from a show.

Im currently running:

Test p: 100mg eod
Tren a: 100mg eod
Masteron: 100mgeod
Arimidex 1mg ed
Nolvadex 40mg ed

My question is this, im getting a little puffy and sore nipples (thats why the “high” dose of nolva)

What do i do?

Been running the nolva for about 5 days now without any result.[/quote]

Did you run nolvadex and arimidex throughout the whole cycle or did you just start it now because of the symptoms?

Also, what was the cycle before this… Did you recently switch any compounds? And are you using any caber? It might be due to progesterone issues from the tren.
[/quote]

No i startede nolvadex up when the symptons began (5-6 days ago)

My complete cycle was:

Week 16-8
Eq 750 mg
Test e 500 mg
T3 50 mg ed week 16-12

Uge 8-1
Winstrol 100 mg ed
Cutstack 2ml eod (test p 100mg,tren a 100mg, mast 100mg)
Clenbuterol 160 mcg ed
T3 50 mg ed week 5-1
Hgh= 10ui in the trained muscle (3xweek)
Igf = 50mg in the trained muscle (3xweek)
Insulin = 5ui (3xweek)

Im eating about 800mg og B6 vitamin a day to combat progesterone. But maybe its not enough?[/quote]

This is the reason the always recommend to take nolvadex during the whole cycle on order to avoid cases like this. Since you’ve only been taking it for 5-6 days, you should be seeing a bit of improvement but give it a few more days to work. If this doesn’t work then you can try letrozole and start at 2.5mg every other day, if it doesn’t improve then increase it to 2.5 everyday.

I doubt that it’s from the tren, but if this is the case then caber would help but wait until you narrow down the problem before taking everything under the sun. See what happens over the next few days and let me know.
[/quote]

Would you continue with the adex and nolva, when i start taking letrozol, or would you just take the letro? Ive tryed letro before, and it just killed my energy :-/[/quote]

Continue using them for the first 3-4 days when you start the letrozole then drop the Adex. Just stay on nolva and letrozole until the symptoms subside and then drop the letrozole. Unfortunately, the letro will make you feel like shit regardless but you can try the Brain Candy from the store here. I’m dieting right now and it’s a life saver for me at this point.

Make sure you stay on the nolvadex after you are finished.[/quote]

IF its from the tren, what caber dosage would you recommend?

Thanks for all your help. Its a lifesaver.

Im gonna wait for 3-4 days to see if the nolva does the job. If not im gonna go with the caber, and if it dosent help, the letro.
[/quote]

The dose you should start with is .5mg every 3rd day. [/quote]

A update from me. My nipples dont hurt as much anymore, but its still puffy.

Im gonna start the caber in a couple of days, or should i wait longer?
[/quote]

If you’re see improvements then wait on the caber. If it doesn’t make a lot of improvements in the next few days then use the letrozole not the caber… Give it 2-3 more days before you add letro.[/quote]

Would you recommend letro for my offseason? Now that im prone to gyno

To go to 175-185 is a big jump, you need to take it slow and put this size on over time. Also, you shouldn’t go to 18-19% bf in the off season, try to stay around 10% year round.

P.S.:my right leg is hurt before,so smaller than left leg.
my legs and my back is Weakness /_[/quote]

Do you know your exact macros? You have me a list of foods but no amounts?
The food choices look good but you need to know how much you’re eating of each.

A place to start would be 1.5 grams per pound of protein and carbs. Keep fat at 50-60grams each day. If you’re cooking in oil, you need to make sure you’re measuring this as part of your daily fat intake. Do not use butter, try olive oil or coconut oil.

First thing you need to figure out is your supplements before even considering a cycle. At least 100-150g of Plazma intraworkout with 5-10g of Leucine. Start day with one serving of MAG-10 and again 30min post workout. Try Micro-Pa before jumping into a cycle, this alone will give you a big improvement in body composition, muscle mass and strength. 6 capsules 60min pre workout.

Here’s an optional cycle, but is recommend you try the supplement protocol before going this route. Give it at least 6 weeks and then post new pictures.

12 week cycle
test-e @500mg/week
Mast-e @400mg/week
Nolva @ 10mg everyday
HCG @ 250iu 2 x/week

[/quote]

Thank you for the information. I am done with swimming now and have been focusing on lifting. I currently only take protein and glutamine and a pre workout. My coach has been tweaking my diet to trim me down a little more before he adjusts my diet to help me start adding weight. I will not be starting this cycle until after my diet has stabilized. I will try running the dbol for 6 weeks like you said. Again, thank you for all your help and information you have provided on here.

If you train the muscle once a week, anywhere between 16-22 sets depending on the exercises and intensity of performing them. If you do more sets then use less techniques such as drop sets and Supersets etc, but if you are doing less sets then go with more straight sets.

If you train twice a week then do 10-12 sets per body part each session. Try to use different exercises and techniques in every session.

Tren-A & Halotestin

[/quote]

I can’t recall your cycle and diet… You can post it again so I can take a look. However, I do recall the 900mg of deca you said you’re taking.

As for your physique… I don’t want to be too harsh but sometimes it’s good to hear the truth to get a wake up call.
-Even for an offseason your bodyfat percentage is too high, you look very soft and unhealthy which could be due to extreme drug protocols and improper dieting.
-Your back lacks width and thickness, there is nothing popping at all even when you’re flexing.
-Your waist is very blocky and that makes the lack of width more noticeable.
-Not sure what your training program is like, but I think this might be where another problem is. With the amount of drugs I’m assuming you’re taking, you should have a lot more muscle mass on your frame.

Honestly, the first thing I would suggest to you is to hire someone who knows what they are doing… I don’t want to come down on you too bad but from what I read so far you have been given a lot of bad information.
First thing you need to do is adjust your diet and reduce your bodyfat to an acceptable level to around 8-10% there’s no reason to be more than this.

Next thing I would address is your proportion issues. Because of your waist, you need to work on building a wider and thicker back. I would hit back at least twice a week and separate width and thickness training because you need a lot of work in this area.

Most important note here: Regardless of what any clown tell you, more drugs are not always better. If your training/diet/supplements are not on point then no amount of drugs will make you look the way you want. Sometimes hearing the truth is better than living in a dream.

Can you please repost your current cycle and diet, I would like to help you adjust this to make some improvements.

Thanks[/quote]

The amount of Plazma you use will depend on your total carb intake for the diet. If you have 100g of carbs a day then I would have all of the intraworkout… If you have 300g then I would have about 1/2 of that or more during the workout and the rest pre and post workout.

Pre-comp I would take the Indigo-3G before my biggest carb meal (which is my Plazma) so I take it 30min preworkout.

Try the Micro-PA pre and post workout. Do 3-4 60min preworkout and 3-4 post workout with the MAG-10.

At 7 weeks out, your diet should be very well constructed by now. You should know how many carbs you need to have during the workout. If you can post pictures I would be happy to help.

Hey shadow

Im 5 weeks out from a show.

Im currently running:

Test p: 100mg eod
Tren a: 100mg eod
Masteron: 100mgeod
Arimidex 1mg ed
Nolvadex 40mg ed

My question is this, im getting a little puffy and sore nipples (thats why the “high” dose of nolva)

What do i do?

Been running the nolva for about 5 days now without any result.[/quote]

Did you run nolvadex and arimidex throughout the whole cycle or did you just start it now because of the symptoms?

Also, what was the cycle before this… Did you recently switch any compounds? And are you using any caber? It might be due to progesterone issues from the tren.
[/quote]

No i startede nolvadex up when the symptons began (5-6 days ago)

My complete cycle was:

Week 16-8
Eq 750 mg
Test e 500 mg
T3 50 mg ed week 16-12

Uge 8-1
Winstrol 100 mg ed
Cutstack 2ml eod (test p 100mg,tren a 100mg, mast 100mg)
Clenbuterol 160 mcg ed
T3 50 mg ed week 5-1
Hgh= 10ui in the trained muscle (3xweek)
Igf = 50mg in the trained muscle (3xweek)
Insulin = 5ui (3xweek)

Im eating about 800mg og B6 vitamin a day to combat progesterone. But maybe its not enough?[/quote]

This is the reason the always recommend to take nolvadex during the whole cycle on order to avoid cases like this. Since you’ve only been taking it for 5-6 days, you should be seeing a bit of improvement but give it a few more days to work. If this doesn’t work then you can try letrozole and start at 2.5mg every other day, if it doesn’t improve then increase it to 2.5 everyday.

I doubt that it’s from the tren, but if this is the case then caber would help but wait until you narrow down the problem before taking everything under the sun. See what happens over the next few days and let me know.
[/quote]

Would you continue with the adex and nolva, when i start taking letrozol, or would you just take the letro? Ive tryed letro before, and it just killed my energy :-/[/quote]

Continue using them for the first 3-4 days when you start the letrozole then drop the Adex. Just stay on nolva and letrozole until the symptoms subside and then drop the letrozole. Unfortunately, the letro will make you feel like shit regardless but you can try the Brain Candy from the store here. I’m dieting right now and it’s a life saver for me at this point.

Make sure you stay on the nolvadex after you are finished.[/quote]

IF its from the tren, what caber dosage would you recommend?

Thanks for all your help. Its a lifesaver.

Im gonna wait for 3-4 days to see if the nolva does the job. If not im gonna go with the caber, and if it dosent help, the letro.
[/quote]

The dose you should start with is .5mg every 3rd day. [/quote]

A update from me. My nipples dont hurt as much anymore, but its still puffy.

Im gonna start the caber in a couple of days, or should i wait longer?
[/quote]

If you’re see improvements then wait on the caber. If it doesn’t make a lot of improvements in the next few days then use the letrozole not the caber… Give it 2-3 more days before you add letro.[/quote]

Would you recommend letro for my offseason? Now that im prone to gyno[/quote]

I recommend 20mg nolvadex throughout the whole cycle and use the letro only if/when a problem comes up.

You look very good for a natural guy!

In order to help you, I need some more info.

Current diet and supplements?
Current photos?

To go to 175-185 is a big jump, you need to take it slow and put this size on over time. Also, you shouldn’t go to 18-19% bf in the off season, try to stay around 10% year round.

Do you know your exact macros? You have me a list of foods but no amounts?
The food choices look good but you need to know how much you’re eating of each.

A place to start would be 1.5 grams per pound of protein and carbs. Keep fat at 50-60grams each day. If you’re cooking in oil, you need to make sure you’re measuring this as part of your daily fat intake. Do not use butter, try olive oil or coconut oil.

First thing you need to figure out is your supplements before even considering a cycle. At least 100-150g of Plazma intraworkout with 5-10g of Leucine. Start day with one serving of MAG-10 and again 30min post workout. Try Micro-Pa before jumping into a cycle, this alone will give you a big improvement in body composition, muscle mass and strength. 6 capsules 60min pre workout.

Here’s an optional cycle, but is recommend you try the supplement protocol before going this route. Give it at least 6 weeks and then post new pictures.

12 week cycle
test-e @500mg/week
Mast-e @400mg/week
Nolva @ 10mg everyday
HCG @ 250iu 2 x/week

last question how to cut,when cut cycle for competition?
sorry Mr.shadow pro hv many questipn :stuck_out_tongue: !!thx a lot ur help plx^^

[/quote]

Why would you think about stopping before you even start? If you are having doubts then you shouldn’t do it at all. Get on the recommended supplements and you can decide if you want to do a cycle or not after the 6 weeks. This is a very basic cycle and relatively safe, there are always risks with every cycle and you will have to decide for yourself if the benefits will outweighs the risks.

Regular blood tests are always a good idea.

It’s your first cycle and GH is a long term commitment. I would wait until you’re able to stay on for at least 6 months to a year otherwise I wouldn’t bother.

12 weeks for a mass cycle is the bare minimum. What do you mean is this enough? Enough to be Ronnie Coleman? Probably not… But it’s enough for a first time cycle. After the 12 weeks, you should do a pct and let your system recover and then do another cycle depending on your goal.

I’m getting the feeling you didn’t do enough research from the questions you’re asking and you’re jumping into something you’re not sure of.

There’s a million ways to cut… When to cut is completely individual and your goal now is to put on mass so it’s irrelevant at this point.
