hank, I don’t know all the technical terms many member here have. It sure sounds like you have just burned out all your T receptors. I know you want to do this one last blast but really is it doing anything new? IMO, and you know that is not worth much, you need to clear yourself out. Just do a normal TRT protocol of 125mg/week TE or Tcyp and nothing else. Give your body a 6 month breather. Still eat well and and do your workouts. Remember you can always go back to now when ever you want. I think it would be a great experiment. How much of what you see in the mirror is you and your determination vs the drugs.
I agree. Thats why i am slowly dropping stuff.
This blasts main goal was to drop tren and mask it under something else, as i tought dropping tren will change a lot. It didnt.
So now i also took away masteron. I believe this blast will end on half the dosages it started anyways.
And yes, i am slowly moving to TRT dosages and cleaning myself out as i actually do believe that i can get stronger on TRT anyways, as i do have enough size, but i just havent put in enough time.
If everything goes well and i dont see much difference in the mirror this blast might end at 300mg test and 150mg of EQ and maybe some Var. That already would be the least i have taken in my whole life.
My guess is your SHGB is in single digits. This is my TT/FT/E2/SHGB on 100mg/w T cyp.
Look at that Free T with an SHGB of 15 my SHGB right now is 6. Even at 100mg/w I have to take anastrozole to keep my E2 in check this blood test was without an AI to prove to my doc I need a script. My E2 sweet spot is 20-24

I have no idea what that is, but… if thats bad, how do i fix it?
IMO it is not bad. Free T is what you feel. Free T is the goal. Some on this form, smarter than me, feel bound T still has a function in body building.
So lowering test dosage it all becomes better?
It screws with my mind as how can 125mg a week be better for any test levels as 300 or 500mg.
I think we are back to the burned out T receptors. God did not make us to run 300-500mg/wk.
A proper TRT clinic will experiment to get your Free T(fuck TT no one cares about that) to the Top of the scale. Then they work on your E2. Once you have your Free T peaked and your E2 in check, no water weight no moodyness. You are golden for a long time.
There is no such term in this part of the world. We barelly afford average hospital shit. As you can see, i cant even get a propper labwork for my T…
The lab workers today didnt even knew what is IGF and there was no such thing on the list to get tested.
An that is why we are friends and on this forum to learn from one another. Me and my wife are members of one of the best TRT/HRT/anti-aging clinics in America. 7 years for me 4 years for her. They have turned back my clock by 20 years. At 52 I look like a Russia potato farmer don’t I? HaHa. I’m not going to keep this picture up for long it is too revealing. I just wanted you to see my journey. I am almost 68 now. My traps are at least 2" taller I’ve added an inch to my arms @17.5" Thanks to covid I only have a 4 pack. Current weight is 206#. At 65 I weighed 194#.

Sounds to me like you are in a state of overtraining of sex drive is gone. That’s the first thing that goes for me if I do too much.
Don’t forget that high doses of AAS and especially Tren increase central nervous system output and recovery. If you drop AAS but do the same work, you will likely overtrain if the workload was very high. You have to find a frequency, volume and intensity that you can handle in the long run when doing strength training. That is the hardest part of the game, I believe.

Have had a bit fcked up back for 2-3 weeks, and yesterday on deadlifts it really went to shit even at warmups, so i will be backing off squats and deadlifts for at least the rest of my 531 cycle(3 weeks). Will use those days for assistance movements if my back will allow to, and mostly abs, planks and stretches - something i have had let go for a while.
Since i do not feel any different since i doubled the test, and my E2 has gone up to an acceptable range, i will now decrease my test and eq dosage.
I will be doing half a cc of test-e 250 every 3 days, and half a cc eq 250 every 6 days as i do not feel shit from test since i doubled it up…
so my new blast update(which gets less and less each update, lol) now is :
290mg test e a week
145mg eq a week
50mg stanazolol a day
4iu GH a day
25mg Ostarine a day
EQ is such a low dose that its not doing shit but im taking it ONLY for my e2 so i dont have to do anastrozole.
I also will be seeing if backing off heaviest movements will improve my mood and energy through out the day.
Hi Hank did you happen to watch the latest Rich Piana video put out by his company on heavy lift vs the pump?
Check it out tell me what you think. It could help you on developing your cruise workout.
No no, i am into strenght.
That synthol pump muscle bullshit i dont care of… All i care about is results in strenght movements, big lifts, etc. I believe muscle will come, if strenght will be there. No way in hell someone benches 440lbs and doesnt have huge arms.

I am not sure what synthol has to do with his lifting advice. He only started injecting that crap in his last two years before dying. I think he was mentally ill these last few years always had to be the biggest guy in the gym syndrome. That does not mean reps and proper form are not worth doing.
Is there any benefit to such a low dose of EQ?
Know ostarine has very little in the way of human clinical trials behind prolonged use/high dose usage.
I have done 385, with 16.5" arms. I will say they are big for me, as I’m torso dominant, and fairly lean for someone who benches that weight. I just don’t have the genetics for crazy arms.
Run for long periods, yes. Part of why eq is poor in a cycle is because of the time to kick in. If you run it for 12-16 weeks, it just isn’t built up for very long. Long term it is probably in par with 90 mg of test.

I don’t like this argument because it doesn’t hold up. Yes, you’ll have a muscular physique if you bench 440lbs, but you’ll find guys who can barely rep 225 who are way bigger than some who can rep 405 and vice versa. Training stimuli for hypertrophy can implement volume and TUT moreso than efforts at maximal strength lifting.
This guy benches 410lbs, he isn’t small/scrawny. but he isn’t massive and doesn’t have huge arms by any means.

It has a lot to do with it.
Someone willing to inject fake muscle is definetly not about performance. He is like a chick with huge fake tits - has nothing to do with sports. Also, he says in this video that the pump is most important for growth? Well, there are studies saying that pump has nothing to do with growth.
Sure, but that is not advice, that is a common sense. I am doing 531 and 5x10 is 90% of the program.
I dont think so, but i take it for e2 benefit. Nothing else. But i rather use small dose of EQ than take anastrozole. I kinda think its better. No?
I am just trying this out as i believe masteron did nothing for me, i just switched to this as my steroid guy said some people reported good fat burning effect in mid-section, and people now buy it only for fat burning effects.
Also Ryan Ankrom said good stuff about it - like joint repair etc.
I basically see it as a supplement that probably wont do shit, but again - my goal is to lower the dosages and slowly go into cruise. I believe switching 500mg mast to 25mg Ostarine is a big step in lowering total amount of steroids in my cycle.
Yea, but at this point of my life i just dont really care about muscular physique if it doesnt do shit. I believe everything has to be above average, but at my 260lbs i am already the biggest person practically everywhere, so for me its more of a shame when a smaller guy lifts more, than to see some bodybuilder who has 10lbs on me.
I also dont like the bodybuilding mindset and principles because you cant measure bodybuilding. And i dont really understand the progression behind it. Most bodybuilding programs are just reps and sets but i dont see where the progression is to be made. With strenght its simple - it eigher goes up, or you didnt gain muscle.
These are genetic outliers, imo. Most average people will have to build muscle in order to bench that much.

Definitely this. If you go from 135 to 225 to 405, you will get bigger or rather you have to. The guys who bench good at low BW are genetically predisposed for strength and outliers.
I’ve seen guys that didn’t look like they could press much weight press big weight. And I’ve seen guys with big muscles struggle with moderate weights. That strength/size thing isn’t always a direct relationship.
