hey shadow,

its me again, hope you’re doing great.

Ive recovred and im fine again but i still wanted to share and ask your opinion about few things.

I’ve start my new cycle which is basing 500mg TEST e a week for 16 weeks

i got all my gear arrived but no dbol, i could run dbol at the beginning of week 3 or i was thinking to run dbol at like week 10/12 to week 16?

i dont want to abuse and jump on 60mg hoping for a miracle since i think my training and nutrition is on top. I was about running it at the week 3 till week 9 or week 10/12 till 16 at a very moderate dose, beginning at 10mg a day and possible going up to 30/40mg a day.

I spoke with people with a lot experience and they said that its a great drug, but i read mostly on the internet people pushing it down and its all water and stuff like that, i guess its some from people who are lazy, run cycle which last 8 weeks and hope for 40lbs lean tissue…

So i what would make more sense?
Week 3-9 starting at 10mg ed and going up OR Week 10-16? Ive got an advice to run week 12-18 at very low dose at the beginning and run it for 2 weeks when im not jabbing test anymore and after the last dbol day start PCT immiadetely? opinions?

Topic Accutane
im prone to acne, last time when i didnt use nolva or AI my E2 was over the top, the normal scale was written as 40-60, mine was 260 plus… so i think it was big thing for acne, but since i did a accutane cycle 5 years ago, i took it for a month in the PCT and my skin was clear again.

What i started doing now, i’m taking 40mg for 7 days in a row and then i will be taking like 20mg e3d, does that make sense? i got loads of it but i dont wanna waste it use it ED since of its damage to liver if used together with dbol.

I will get with my nutrition/training later on for a check and yeah, like always
thanks for the great job!

I would probably run the dbol at the start of the cycle, week 3-9 would work. Increase by 10mg each week until you hit 50. I don’t see a point doing it 2 weeks after the last test shot, it’s not going to hurt you but it’s not going to help much either. Dbol is a great drug for strength as long as you don’t mind a bit of water retention… If you keep your diet clean you can see great gains from it.

I’ve never used accutane so I don’t know. If you’re using that with or without the dbol I would make sure you are loading up on the liver support.

We all have this lethargic lazy days. How can you motivate yourself day for

If youre not in the mood to go outside your house…?[/quote]

I’ve never had motivation problems, I always have and always will enjoy my training. The hours I spend in the gym each day are always the best 3 hours of my day. Good session or bad it always clears my head and is satisfying and gives me a sense of accomplishment.

I would highly suggest trying Brain Candy. I usually use this preworkout and it gives you a great mental/physical boost… It will definitely make you want to get out of the house.

thx for your answer. i just asked you this, because ive lost my job after 7 yrs a few days ago.
now im a bit down. but i figured out, this is a good possibilty to invest even more effort in my bodybuilding goals. lifting weights is like a therapy now. im on my way now to train with the arnold classic amateur winner 2015.

just a simple question for today:
growth and all the gear makes my hair growing so fast. how do you handle this? i shave them, but it takes me hours and i usually need help from my girlfriend, lol. do you guys wax them?[/quote]

Some guys wax… I shave and my girl helps me with this. Just part of the job!

[Lion_of_War]

Hi, The last 2 weeks,pre comp,if you are using, tren ace, prop, masterone, t3,proviron,nolvadex,anavar,winstrol tabs, when would you stop and what would you use till the showday?
How much proviron and nolvadex would you recommend?
Also is there any drug to take only on showday? To full out, insulin?
What can be used to get the veins to pop out instead of alcohol?
Thank you.

Hello!
First post here, i was reading the forum for a long time, after getting a little more knowledge, decide to register… and sorry bad english!

Shadow, im 23 yo, planing to enter BC.
Already made 2 years ago, protocol with cypio/trembo/hemogenin but in low doses, with low knowledge, and after a PCT, fortunatly not had any collaterals.

Now, im planning yo enter in BC, after 2 years “clean” i will enter in blast using:
1-12 Enantathe (500mg - w)
1-12 Boldenona (equipoise) (600mg - w)
6-12 Trembo Ace (500mg - w)
x -x Anavar (Oxandrolone) (XXmg - w) ??? ← already have, so, my first doubt is, use at the beggining or at the end? Or both?

After that, planning to cruise with 200mg - w cypio.

My other doubts are:
-HCG, can i use it with no stop… during all blast and all cruise? 250UI every 4 days is my plan. Correct? (I want to use HCG just to avoid ache at my balls… im fearing about that… but im fear of E2 go up because os HCG)
-Oxandrolone, as i said before, can i use it, and in the beggining or the last blast weeks?
-How do you recommend the division of blast, which days of week to pin with enan, equi and trembo?
-Cruise: what is the best, 1x a week 200mg or should i divide it in 2 or 3 times a week? Can i do it SQ, as i red its better than IM for cruise?
-Aromasin, im planning to use 0.25mg 2x week in blast, should i use until first weeks after start cruise or i stop imediatly after sop blast?

Aprecciate your help!!

More infos: 80Kg, 1.80M, 10% BF, 6y trainning
Using with the blast: ZMA, Chromium Picolinate, multivit and minerals, B Complex, Whey Protein, Whazy Maize, Omega-3 Fish Oil
[/quote]

You can use the anavar from week 1-8 @ 50mg/day.
Use HCG at 250iu 2x/week and 20mg of nolvadex each day (increase dose if needed) and do throughout both the blast and cruise.

For the long esters just do injections twice a week and for the short esters do daily injections.

200mg once a week is fine for the cruise. Just do it IM like usual.

I prefer nolvadex but if you want to use Aromasin it’s up to you. I use the nolvadex throughout my whole cycle and pct.

I would suggest adding Plazma and indigo to your supplement list, it will help you tremendously.[/quote]

Thanks you for the informations. I will use HCG, starting at week 2, correct?

Another question is, if i need or you recommend to use masteron for the blast i wrote up there… maybe because to try keep the E2 in a good number.
What do you do to try keep the E2 in a “normal” range, and how do you know how much you need to go down with IAs doses when going from blast and entering cruise?

Thanks again![/quote]

Yes, start HCG at week 2. Masteron is a great drug and a mild anti estrogen but I’m not sure you actually need it for the blast because you’ll be using nolvadex but it won’t hurt you to use it if you want… It will make you harder and leaner.

In order to monitor e2 levels I am doing tests after the cycle to make sure they are fine. [/quote]

Ok, i will follow your suggestion and i will use nolva instead of aromasin.
Now my question is, if your e2 level is very high at the blood test you made, then, what do you do? Aromasin? Nolva? Masteron? You try to stable E2 in what number… in the BC and in cruise is the same number you try to get?

Thanks again

[ty_ty13]

so in the past 8 weeks i’ve taken the info you’ve given me and applied it, and yet again things have gotten much better.

Im coming in heavier, leaner, and all my lifts are going up dramatically.

The biggest game changer was doing cardio atleast 4 times per week for 25min even though im not really trying to lean out/diet it has simply made my recovery better and has helped my lean gains dramatically. The other thing i incorporated was EQ. that combo’d with tren and test in a 1:1:1 ratio is a beautiful thing.

I always love picking your brain and reading your posts. Your info in these threads have been the largest help in my quest to reach my ideal physique and the goal for hitting a 1600lb total this year.

Thank you for taking the time to answer all the questions. I’ve yet to see you “half ass answer” a question and so many times when i’ve been looking for help or info that’s usually what you get in this sport. I would love to have you as a coach. I can tell it would be well worth my investment.

It really depends on your condition. The injectables you mentioned can be dropped anywhere from 7-14 days. Some keep tren and masteron all the way until the show and some people even keep the prop.

When and if to drop the t3 will depend on your plan for the final week and you’re loading. It can interfere with carb load but if you drop it too soon then it’s not good either.

The rest of the orals can be kept all the way up until the day of the show.

I can’t recommend the dosages of nolvadex and Proviron precisely because it’s individual and would depend what you did with those drugs during the prep and your condition going into the last 2 weeks. Nolvadex could be between 20-60mg and Proviron 25-100mg.

Insulin a possibility for loading but you can fuck up your prep completely if you don’t know what you’re doing so be careful with that one. I always take micropa before stage, it makes your very vascular.

Hard to say which one will work for you without knowing you. For me I would use nolvadex because that’s what I respond the best to. Try the nolvadex and see how it works, you can always make adjustments later on.

You’re welcome. I’m very happy to hear that I have had influence on your success. That’s why I’m here… To help people who actually want to learn. I appreciate you taking the time to write this post.

It’s always nice to hear positive feedback from people who have followed my suggestions.

[RedVex]

Hi shadow, I am dieting hard now as you said, but a couple of questions:

1. How long does it take to clear testosteron propionate out of the system so you dont get caought on a WADA doping test?

2. Can WADA test for hgh, insulin or igf-1 lr3?

(kinda strange question, but anyways)
3. Is there a drug or hormone you would recommend that would help you grow the size or thickness of your hands and fingers? would igf-1 or hgh help with this?

[maikeltjeh89]

Hello Shadow Pro,

Ive got some concerns regarding my cycle.
im on test E 250 and Primobolan 250mg each week for a total of 8 weeks.
I did this cycle a few months ago for the same time.
the problem i encouter is with my sleep, i wake up a lot covered in sweat and having to pee alot.
besides that i have a big snoring problem, my doctor will send me to a sleep clinic he thinks it has something to do with sleep apnea.
my GF can hear my breathing stop in the middle of the night so sleep apnea sounds about right.
is there any possibility it has to do something with my cycle?
because of the crappy sleep im also not getting the results i want its really bothering me.
hope u can provide me with some of your knowledge
thnx in advance

Shadow Pro:

Back in March I spoke to you about a cycle I was thinking about doing and you gave me great advice. I’m posting results here in the interest of informing others and letting you know how your advice worked.

I’m 51 years old. I am on TRT at 140 mg a week of Test Cyp. My cycle got a little jacked up but this is what I did, in addition to my TRT of 140mg per week.

Weeks 1-6 Test Cyp @ 260 mg per week
Weeks 1-6 Masteron @ 50 mg eod
Weeks 1-6 Grape Seed Extract @ 200 mg ED
Weeks 6-9 Test Prop @ 125 EOD
Weeks 6-9 Adex @ .25 E3D

I weighed myself daily with a Tanita BIA scale. I also measured my body fat with calipers via the Jackson-Pollock three sight method. I only measured myself with the calipers at the beginning and the end.

I am 6’1" tall.

Before I started the cycle I weighed 188 pounds at 18 percent body fat per Tanita, but 17 percent per calipers.
Three weeks after the cycle I weigh 188 pounds at 15 percent body fat per Tanita but 12 percent per calipers.

I’m posting pics but they are poorly lit. I learned a lot from this cycle. Mostly that I am ignorant. I would be happy to answer any questions.

Apparently I have to upload images individually, so I apologize for the many pics.

[The_Myth]

Post pics, thanks for your indulgence.

1. WADA is very strict, i wouldn’t use it for at least a month before. They are getting crafty these days so watch out.

2. Yes they can, it’s a lot harder to identify but it can be done. They have caught a few people using HGH. Not sure what level you’re competing in but the higher the level the more severe and strict the testing is.

3. Not that I know of. The only thickness in your hands would come from drugs that cause water retention but once you stop using it will go away.

Sounds like sleep apnea, I really doubt it’s the cycle because your dosages are very moderate.

The only thing I can think of is if you gained a lot of weight with the cycle… Something like 20+ lbs it can lead to breathing problems during sleep. Never heard of night sweats from test and primo, only from tren. You never know with underground shit.

Thnx for the reply i will maken an appointment with the hospital later this week.
It really sounds like the sleep apnea is due to my increase in bodyweight.
looking back from now till last year the weight gain has been 15 kgs.

15kg is a lot to gain and I think this might have something to do with it. I would try to fix your diet and keep bodyfat lower to lose a few pounds or at least gain more gradually to allow your body to adjust to the new weight.
