Did Ol’ Musky get you? I heard he has some people pissed at him for his SNL and Twitter stuff on crypto.
I don’t think it was anything like that, it’s just so volatile. Combine that with the fact that you’re purchasing like .0004 of a single bit coin and it doesn’t take much fluctuation to really screw you up lol

We have to resort to these measures for something as trivial as (checks notes) buying illegal drugs on the internet. All things considered, it is a lot easier than I would have imagined before doing so. Couple years ago, I was like do I need a burner phone for this lol.

Haha yea it’s so overwhelming at first 
it is indeed a lot easier than one thinks.
I am excited for your upcoming blast. Perhaps DHB is still on the menu. All the HGH buzz around here has me thinking too. I’ll have to get a monocle, top hat and butler if I go down that road. A bit rich for me, but if it works, and has low sides, it might be worth it?
Who would have ever thought drugs could be so expensive.
I made my first pin today and hired a coach yesterday lol. Doing twice a week check ins and he’s handling all nutrition and gym shit. He makes the rules and I follow. Should be good

Also looking up some growth currently lol y’all make it seem so fun
It is especially appealing for me, since my IGF-1 is like 105 [100-270]. Could that be the missing link? Probably not. But worth a blast and $600 to find out maybe?
My igf is a little past middle range.
Hmm, if it were me, I would be more on the fence, but maybe it’s worth one blast. I don’t think running one blast of moderate HGH is a big risk. Just mostly cost, and having to pin everyday.
Is your coach a BBing coach? I think having coaching for a period of time can be really a good investment. I learned a lot from my powerlifting coach. I am thinking of cutting ties at this point though as I have learned close to what I am going to from him.
Yea I know man. Tough call.
Yea he’s fairly accomplished on the stage himself and has coached a good bit of people successfully. He’s not a big name or anything but way smarter than I and certainly more accomplished

By next month he will have you on 2g of Test, 1g of Tren, 100 mg of Drol, 8 iu of HGH, and Slin (I actually don’t know how much people use of this) LOL. Gonna be 240 shredded in no time.
Just kidding, but that is something to look out for.
I was reading about Scot Mendelson’s cycles (self reported) yesterday, and I was like “how is this guy still alive”.
Test: 3g
Tren: 1.5g
Anadrol: 500 mg/day (I guess pre comp sometimes 1000 mg/day)
GH: 10 iu
Slin: 500 iu/wk (depended on training)
I believe he perma blasted this when he was competing.
He told me upfront he will never recommend any drugs or dosages. He said I was more than welcome to ask questions and he would help me as best he could, but it’s a fine line he doesn’t want to cross. So that was exciting as I’m not looking for someone to pump me full of drugs lol
Now the 240 a shredded sounds good though
Dude I got on this telegram channel that every once in a while will post pro body builders and strong men and power lifters cycles… ones they’ve actually run and it. Is. Wild. Hell to the no. Like 6+ grams of gear. Even the cycle lengths were out of this world.

I think the truth of the matter is some guys do respond better, but the guys like Lee Priest claiming well under 1 gram of gear (and not super strong stuff either), is BS. Sure some take less than others, but it just isn’t possible to be 240, 4% BF, at 5’3" on what he claims he is taking.
The guys who are huge are taking a lot of shit. The biggest guys out there (who look the part of a BBer) are usually the quickest to call BS on the super low dosage claims.
I don’t plan on following down that path (huge cycles). I probably won’t ever run a 19 nor. But understanding what is reality does make me think that running something like a gram of Test has pretty good risk to reward.

Very good point about the dosage vs levels question. Even with the same number of the adequate parameter you’d still not get the same response in most cases.
Can you explain this post and your previous post? I’m not really tracking but it sounds interesting.
The scary part of buying so much is what if it is bad?
I bought some pretty legit looking stuff and it ended up leaving nasty lumps under my skin that did not go away for days. I am so glad I only bought 1 box and not 5-10
I like and use Coinbase it is my banks fault it takes 7-10 days for my transfer to clear.

Sure thing. So you’ve got a number of pathways that will determine overall growth of contractile tissue. The most obvious place to start is the androgen receptor, hence the use of AAS. But at some point you’re only focusing on that and ignoring the other foundations for growth. Soft tissue recovery is pretty important, and something like GH will contribute to that more directly than taking more steroids. So you slot that in. Then you look at whether or not you’re getting sufficient stimulation of the estrogen receptor. Test-only cycles mean no worries there. Then the glucocorticoid receptor is up next. That one is basically reserved for tren. (Fun fact: tren is technically not a steroid, it’s a SARM) Then you look at fuel supply and mitochondrial activation, and try to find things that make both of those more efficient. Things like metformin help with fuel supply, and ARBs can do some downstream work that helps with mitochondrial activity. (Still in the weeds on understanding that last one, so don’t ask any follow ups because I’m not there yet)
Point is that there’s more to designing a plan than just adding test, eating, and training. You can pull all these different levers and your body will be able to do more with less gear. Guys will have a cycle that’s test/EQ/nand at 750/1,000/400 or some crazy shit like that, all the while not realizing that they’ve dropped an atomic bomb on the AR and largely ignored the other ways in which you can grow relatively safely. They’ll have crazy gains, obviously, but it won’t be healthy or even close to efficient.
One example: valsartan has been shown to help with insulin resistance. Since starting it I’ve found my recomp is significantly easier. I’m eating at maintenance and I continue to slowly move weight from my gut into my arms, shoulder, and back. Nothing changed but the addition of an ARB. I’m actually on a lower dose of my “trt” (MENT is superior in all ways) and I’m seeing better results. And that’s from one small change, though my physician, for $10/mo. Next month I’m going back on the GH and starting Berberine (instead of metformin). I’ll be interested to see how tinkering with these different pathways helps me get to where I want to be.

Google says this is a blood pressure medicine. Did you start taking this because of blood pressure or for the added benefits you mentioned?
Berberine and metformin tears my stomach up but I’ve heard that only lasts a couple weeks, I just bailed too early.
Edit: if I remember right you started growth and blood pressure got way high. Was the medicine needed to bring it down, or was acquired with the intentions of starting growth again?
Since it’s also an ARB would Telmisartan likely have the same benefits?
