Well, NO they are not. but i dont want to risk it. So how would a cycle look like on suspension? And does anybody know about tren suspension? Clearense time?

Ive done blast and Cruise for years, which made later go on hrt for life… Which im ok about, NO need for pct anymore.

1112

Well if it’s not for WADA and just a personal drug tests I doubt that they will be tested you for any specific kind of steroids and probably only test ratios between hormones… Honestly, you can probably get away with just taking diuretics and still pass but if you set on using test suspension try eight weeks-2-3 shots per day(maybe 25-50mg per shot) and add an anti E with it. You can add tren suspension as well, but it has a little bit longer clearance time… 2 Shots a day same dosage. No more than 6-8 weeks. Good luck![quote=“iwannagetbig, post:1111, topic:209438, full:true”]

Hi Shadow Pro again,
I am 3 weeks before contest and until now i was on Test Cyp and for the last 3 weeks i wanted change with testo suspension…my problem is not the pain caused by the suspension injection, the problem is that the needle bloock quickly and I can not take the injection … I want to quit the suspension and continue with the testo cyp until 3-4 days out and increase antiestrogenic orals (60mg tamoxifen + 1mg arimidex or 40mg tamoxifen + 2mg arimidex … which is the best option.
I mention that I am in good shape, I dont have too much water retention from testo cyp + I want to be fuller on stage …what do u say and recomend to me?

Thank u so much in advance!

PS- Hope, make senses for u my question…) !

1114

Do you have any experience/concerns or spoken with anyone who seemed to develop emotional issues from using nolvadex/tamoxifen?

1115

Why not just use test prop? It’s probably your best option. I will need to see current pics, more info about the rest of your cycle and diet to give you a better answer about the Anti-e dosages and compounds. But just, in general, assuming you are lean enough then you might want to consider using Proviron and Masteron as those two will help a lot with the [quote=“muscle2012, post:1113, topic:209438, full:true”]

This is super individual for people and also different between males and females. I heard on some cases that the drug can affect the mental state of the users but this VERY uncommon and it is usually a relatively a safe drug to use.

What’s crazy is how people think tamoxifen is dangerous but use arimidex like it’s candy.

As they wonder why their cholesterol and lipid numbers are off… Better go on Crestor too…

Clomid certainly ruined me though. Oh my gawd, that was horrible.

It’s all about the right dosage and timing. You can use most juice relatively safely as long it’s you don’t go crazy and start going by “more it’s better” line of thought.

True. I noticed the effect on my mood the next day. Crippling anxiety and recurrence of OCD symptoms. I lasted not even 48 hours. However, I’m also predisposed.

Hello Shadow Pro, please help me with some questions again.

  1. When i am off AAS i wil down gh pharma from 6ui/day(this was in on AAS) to 3 or 4 ui/day as u said. Me question for u is how take this 3-4ui? All dose in the morning IM on empthy stomach or 2 times/day(1.5-2ui/shot)??? How do u do and is the best for off times??

  2. In off season u take more gh than in precontest or u keep same dose? I wish go in off season with 8ui(2ui x 4 times/day) and in precontest keep to 5-6ui…what is ur opinion???

Many thanks for all ur support!!!

Hi Shadow,
I know you are primarily not here to answer questions regarding gear only, but since it’s connected to PED I hope you’ll answer.
Do you specifically adjust your training on cycle vs. cruising? For example do you go to failure more often, do more volume, higher frequency?
General question for you as an insider/pro with lifelong experience - do you consider training to failure multiple times per workout as beneficial/neccessary? I have been doing exactly that for the past 10 years, yet it seems that many pros don’t go to failure, but rather just chase the pump and lift with higher reps and lighter wheights… is this connected to insulin usage, or do you think this style of training (like serge nubret, just leight wheigt and chasing the pump with high volume) makes sense for a test only cycle as well, or only with insulin or just to maintain size when you are already huge?

Hi Shadow and Happy New Year!!

I have for u another 2 questions-

  1. I will start 14 weeks prepare for me next contest. In the first 8 weeks will try add a little bit gain and will take Testo Cyp,Bolde and Tren E + 8 ui gh/day and in the last 6 weeks will change with short esters like Testo Prop,Masteron,Tren A and wini, also will take„ 5ui gh…what do u thing about this plan??

  2. Please let me know how u take gh in off season, in precontest and in off times? i want know not how much, i want know when u take…the timing???

Thank u so much in advance!

1126

It’s so true. So many of my best cycles are always only replacement doses of test and fairly low doses of tren

Is it better to shoot HGH SQ or IM? If IM, where do you shoot it? Also how long should one cruise between blasting cycles? Thanks.

Hey man -

  1. It really depends on your goal (you may find it interesting to read over this thread and my last one since I talk about the various ways to use GH effectively quite a bit).
    If the goal is to stay lean and keep body fat low then you should aim for the first thing in the morning 30 minutes before food (and cardio if applicable). Since you are only talking about 3-4 iu per day I would probably take the whole dose at that time (it wont do much in terms of gaining or maintaining muscle at that dose).
    If you are doing 4 iu consistently then it is possible to divide into 2 shots of 2iu per day - one in the morning as I mentioned above, and one 60-90min pre workout, assuming you are using proper intraworkout nutrition like Plazma during your workout (in that case it will spike your insulin and with the GH will create a surge of IGF1 in your bloodstream which you do want when you train…kind of like using your biggest guns when you need them the most). There is no “best” time, just goal-specific timing.
  2. if you can afford it then yes absolutely. For GH to be effective in terms of building new muscle tissue you need at least 6iu per day as a minimum and 9-10 (or more) for great results. Just as a side interesting fact for you - most pros are using 18-36iu per day - it’s pretty common.
    Ideally lets say you take 9iu in the off season…since the goal has changed then the timing also changes - then you would prioritize 3iu post workout (as soon as you can - within 30 minutes), 3iu (or more) before bed - this is the time you will grow the most. The very best option is to set an alarm and take it at midnight (or 4 hours after you go to sleep) when your natural GH levels are the lowest. Also then 3iu pre workout for the same reason as I answered in 1

Great question so even though it’s not exactly gear-related I’ll answer for sure.
Yes I do adjust my training on and off cycle for a few reasons…

  1. the ability to recover on a cycle is much much higher meaning your body can take a lot more and still come back to do it again. This means heavier weight, higher volume, and more intensive techniques as opposed to an off cycle or cruise. Then I focus on keeping it more simple - basic compound movements with the heaviest weight I can in the 6-12 rep range, lower volume, and much less failure training and intensity techniques. Usually when you cruise, the goal should be to maintain muscle, clean your system, and not go crazy since your ability to grow and recover is much lower than when you’re on.
  2. on cycle you can consume much more food to support the growth of new muscle and the more intensive training. I would take advantage and train way harder.
    Basically training-wise on cycle everything goes - heavier weights in all rep ranges (1-20), more variety of exercises, more volume in general, and on top of that drop sets, tempo manipulations etc etc. The difference between on and off could be literally a leg session of 4 hours on cycle and 90-120 minutes off cycle.
  3. I do not consider it necessary to go to failure no. I think 90% of the workout should be very close to failure (1-2 reps away, but not) and then pick 1 or 2 exercises that are the most important for your goal (usually one compound and one isolation) and do one all out set in each (this could be a drop set, tempo manipulation - endless options).
    As for why some pros train with what seems like a pump-chase is that some of the pros are lazy once they get there and don’t want to work their ass off and choose drug reliance…none of them built a respectable pro level of muscle with just chasing a pump. Over 100 years of training science, there are still no replacements for the good old linear progression with big compound movements, heavy weights, and high volume. This will always be the bread and butter of building muscle.
    If you are seeing otherwise, don’t forget that a lot of what we see is social media and “trends” etc these days…don’t always trust what you’re seeing online.
    As for the connection of insulin - the latest trend claims the sarcoplasmic hypertrophy is more effecient than myfibular hypertrophy (none of this is backed up by any serious study) - the idea behind it is that this style of training (pump) if you use insulin, will expand the muscle cell and long term keep them in that state…like filling a balloon with water and nutrition and if you do it long and consistently enough it will stay (in this case there isn’t really growth of new fibres, just size of old ones). The approach still most supported is that myofibular hypertrophy is still superior as there is no replacement for the benefit of recruiting as many motor units as you can to build more muscle fibres. If you are a seasoned pro (Dexter Jackson ex) who only needs to look a little more aesthetic and has no real need to add new mass as this is not his strength or what wins shows for him (his aesthetic does) - then pump training is sufficient since he already has his base.
    If the goal is to add new muscle mass - the question should alwasy be for the pros: What did you do to get to this size, rather than how are you training now.

  1. You plan looks decent but if you want to give yourself a chance to gain new muscle the first part of the cycle, I would probably extend it to 18 weeks. The first 10 with long esters and the last 8 (pre show) short esters. I would not lower the GH if possible - it will help you look fuller, “cleaner”, and help maintain the muscle during diet.
    Dont forget anti estrogen and hardeners the last 8 weeks.

  2. I answered this earlier today for you - see your last post :slight_smile:
