COMPARING Boldione (EQ-Plex) to Boldenone (Equipoise)
How does this compare to real EQ?
COMPARING Boldione (EQ-Plex) to Boldenone (Equipoise)
-----------------------------------------------------
First and formost, let's review how the parent steroid (Boldenone) acts, before comparing it to its little "pre-cousin" Boldione.
Boldenone was initially synthesized as a veterinary drug for the treatment of equestrian animals (horses, mules, donkeys, etc), such as the healing of injuries to connective tissues and ligaments or muscular strains and tears that are sustained from racing, or working / farming duties. Of course, they filtered down to OTHER "lifestock" in the process (read: "humans).
As mentioned earlier, Boldenone (the steroid with the effective marketing name: "Equipoise") is very active anabolically, while exerting only a mild androgenic response. This makes sense, because in order for a drug to focus on HEALING / CREATING new muscle and connective tissue while reducing inflammatory responses, it has to focus more directly on the myo-structures of muscle bundles themselves, rather than throwing the entire hormone-producing system into a madenning ruckus (such as "heavy" and "wetter" steroids that are centered around WATER RETENTION rather than myosin integrity).
If you want to heal tissue more accutely, and as quickly as possible, you need to bring down "swelling" and "inflammation" first. For this reason, a water-retaining steroid may actually AGGREVATE rather than help heal the injury! In fact, water-retention-based steroids also increase the formation of Arachidonic Acid....which, although builds bulk like the hulk by stimulating more cholesterol production (hence testosterone)....also increases the inflammatory response.
See for yourself: Do a Google search for Arachidonic Acid. (an Omega 6 fatty acid). As opposed to the the beneficial Omega 3's.
(On a side note, this is the precise physiology behind why "wetter" bulking steroids create BAD lipid profiles....BAD CHOLESTEROL / TRIGLYCERIDE COUNTS.....to be exact. It is due to an up-regulation of Arachidonic Acid!).
Omega 3's, on the other hand, DOWN-regulate cholesterol / lipid sythesis, while REDUCING inflammation. This is why it's so important to consume a higher ratio of 3's over 6's!
Now, back on the subject.....
So, with Boldenone: Enter a MYOgenic (rather than an ANDROgenic) compound to do the job! While this steroid won't make your neighbors wonder overnight if you're eating Miracle Grow for dinner, (NO MASSIVE MUSCLE OVERNIGHT), the one thing Boldenone DOES do, and do it WELL, is help add VERY DRY AND LEAN MUSCLE MASS over a more prolonged period without extreme side effects. Those who prefer a short-term "SHOCK & AWE" firecraker show should look elsewhere. This one is for the more patient, refined folks. But the end result is that YOU KEEP WHAT YOU GET!!!!
Boldenone also stimulates appetite, as I have just discovered for myself. Tee hee. (BURP!!!!! BELCH!!!!!) And as I also theorized, this makes too much sense, since Boldenone acts to more directly channel nutrients to muscle structures themselves. More precisely, the appetite increase is due to the fact that because you're building more SOLID tissue (as opposed to WET), your body is going to be hungrier for SOLID FOOD (rather than an elevated thirst for WATER, as it the case of heavy bulking compounds).
Makes sense....so far. No?
As one laboratory document states: "The gains from Boldenone are very stable, easy to maintain after use, and of a very high quality."
Another source states the following: Boldenone has been shown to enhance the function of insulin, which leads to an elevated ability to maintain and stimulate the manufacture and retention of Nitrogen."
AH HAH! In layman's terms...Didn't I just say that I was craving protein like the dickens?!
To finish this up, and move on to EQ-Plex, and how it stacks up to the parent steroid, I would also like to add that because of Boldenone's excellent track record in the use of healing / repairing connective tissue / muscle in horses.....one would deduce that it might make an outstanding drug for the therapeutic treatment of muscle wasting and disfunctions (burn victims, AIDS patients, CANCER, Multiple Sclerosis, etc).
It is any coincidence that ANOTHER myogenic compound....ANAVAR....was mass-produced for a short time for the same types of treatments?!?! (Before the FDA shut it down?! Why, because it actually worked very well?! And VERY SAFELY...I might add?!).
COUGH...conspiracy...COUGH.
Now, on to the little cousin Boldione (1, 4 Androstadiene-3, 17- Dione), otherwise under the CEL Marketing name "EQ-PLEX."
And I am not even their representative, mind you. (Hey, you representative dudes, are you gonna hire me?). Hehehhe.
Initial annecdotal reports state that Boldione has a conversion rate anywhere from roughly 5% to 15%, depending on who you talk to. Even at the low end, this would deem a highly-successful "prohormone."
(COUGH.....STOCKPILE......COUGH......BEFORE FDA......COUGH).
It is beyond my scope to analyze or state HOW or HOW NOT Boldione works in relation to its parent steroid Boldenone, besides the fact that it would obviously take a relatively HIGH DOSAGE rate to yield results similar to the parent compound. But since this is not possible without risking some potentially unforseen ramifications, the dosage suggestions on the EQ-PLEX bottle seem fairly reasonable.
I've been on EQ for a few days, just running 400 mg (2 capsules), along with 2 Havoc capsules of 10 mg (2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyl-5a-androstan-17b-ol).
I also STAGGER them, technically, rather than actually STACK them. This means that if I take my first EQ capsule at 7 am after breakfast, I'll then take my first Havoc two hours later after my next meal. Then I'll take my second EQ after my third meal, and my second Havoc after my fourth meal. And so on, if one desires to move up to the next dosage level (600 mg EQ, 30 mg Havoc).
The one thing I COULD say with certainty, in regards with how Boldione compares to its parent Boldenone, as quoted from a source:
"Boldione contains a double-bond between the first and second Carbon atom, just as its parent steroid Boldenone. This gives the prohormone Boldione a natural ability to bypass the liver....just like the steroid Boldenone....at a much higher rate, WITHOUT THE NEED FOR METHYLATION!!! (Or, more technically, 17-alpha alkalated).
In fact, the prohormone Boldione is one of the FEW KNOWN IN EXISTANCE that can do this, and still be biologically viable, without the need to molecularly alter the 17th position on the chain like OTHER prohormones!
This means Boldione works rather well, for something that needs no liver-enzyme / first-pass protection! Again, it does this because the double-bond between the first and second Carbon atom renders it "under the radar", so to speak....that is, it doesn't get completely destroyed by the liver because the liver largly doesn't even RECOGNIZE it for what it is!
CONCLUSION: Indeed, the dosages required for effective gains with Boldione add up to a rather EXPENSIVE cycle....BUT....it sure beats the expense of sitting in the slammer by partaking in "illegal activities."
Not to mention, as I've said, that you can theoretically heighten the myogenic effect by stacking it with OTHER myogenics (such as Havoc), which I am experimenting on right now.
