right I know what you are saying. T3 isnt catabolic. but the result of it's improper application can beCalorie deficits are catabolic. That has nothing to do with T3 itself.

Fair enough.Yay we all agree!!
Hm, back to my cut now?
Too bad you don't know how to add muscle, string-arms. :lol:sure, I know how to cut... what's up?
look into IGF-2. when used with IGF-1 the fatloss is supposedly quite remarkable.Too bad you don't know how to add muscle, string-arms. :lol:
Now how about some discussion of said cutting cycle?
1750 test, clen, T3, IGF, Keto.
lol. what? put some size on that chest and talk to me.Too bad you don't know how to add muscle, string-arms. :lol:
Consider the T3 for your recomp with the Test & Bold. May help to even add some quality LBM with a clean diet.Too bad you don't know how to add muscle, string-arms. :lol:

supposedly dandelion LEAF tea is a strong natural diuretic. hard to find but ive heard of guys getting really dry with itConsider the T3 for your recomp with the Test & Bold. May help to even add some quality LBM with a clean diet.
I'd save the Clen for your precontest run to help bring the body fat down to competition numbers which I am assuming the goal will be < or =6%. Perfect match to run with Anavar IMO
Being from the Great White North you can probably get your hands on some HCTZ or aldactone for diuresis in the last week or so..
LEAF huh? Cool, I'll try it. I mean my comp is in november, so at worst I have all summer to pick them leaves... :icon_lol:supposedly dandelion LEAF tea is a strong natural diuretic. hard to find but ive heard of guys getting really dry with it
You can see the new growth, i'd say Chest is definitely your weakest point, chest, traps, bi's and tri's need to come up. Ever considered DC training? My chest is REALLY coming up from this style training and the intense stretching.OK so obviously I am done with my bulk. To recap, I finished my cut at 195lbs really flat, and I rebounded to about 205 equally ripped but with good fullness a couple weeks later.
I now weigh 240, a 35lb gain in my short 8-week bulk. Yes, it was pretty all-out.
I didn't have access to EQ at the time so it was simple test + NPP + Dbol and a superdrol finisher, which I *LOVED*. I now officially hate dbol. Wrecks my appetite AND energy levels. Why and how some people report feeling great while on it, I don't know. I'll stick to superdrol and anavar, thanks.
Anyway, here are the pics of a fully bulked-up Grunt76:
Yeah, that's what I was talking about regarding the left ventricle.
Grunt is a smartie pants, so I'm sure he's good, I just know that I like to order a lot more food at a table than I would normally be willing to eat.
I still bet you 300 canadian dollars that you can achieve the same comparative results with a SMALL fraction of the dose and also eliminating a few compounds.
When I used to dabble, I had tried ridiculous doses, and very long durations. The ridiculous doses only upped the sides, not the gains. The longer durations only upped the suppression, (albeit trained my body to handle the weight and keep it after post cycle therapy).
I don't really talk about anabolic steroids anymore due to the simple fact I've turned a new leaf, and to be honest am feeling rusty. I also feel that a great majority of members here are young developing trainees and it is very easy to sway them to the exogenous side of the fence, which in my mind is not conducive to learning how to train and eat properly.
Now, I know you know how to do that, and I know you are experienced, but I still say my bet is on the table, you can achieve great results with MUCH less.
I'll get off my soapbox for now, but the main concern I had was your pretty pretty little Quebecois heart.
genetic shmanetics. if you want more growth look into priming before a diet with cyclic low carb rotations and use things that upregulate AR's like DNP. Now, Im not saying HEY EVERYONE USE DNP....I doubt I'd touch the stuff. but im just using that as an example that genetics really only determine how much chemistry is needed to manipulate the inner biological workings of bodybuildingI agree with Ubi here...that's a lot of gear! This is just my opinion...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong...but when you look at a persons genetic mapping, every human body is different. On a genetic level, we all have hormone receptors like androgens. Some have immense quantities of those receptors, some are less lucky and have less.
That's why they say that some athletes are genetically gifted in that way. They have immense quantities of those receptors.
Honestly, I just think that megadosing the good stuff doesn't mean better. In some ways, a person could try trial and error to see what his limit is in some ways. Personally, I know that I wouldn't need all of that gear to get good results! I know that by experience...Like Ubi said sometimes more only gives you more sides compared to results...
Even if you inject all those synthetic hormones in your body in doesn't mean that those testosterones or androgens will bind to your receptors...Just saying that it might be a waste...maybe you'd be better off to save some of it for later...
I'm no expert...it's just my opinion! I guess my two cents! :cheers:
BTW...Grunt! You're in great shape! Most guys in there 40's are out of shape or dreaming to be in a fraction of your shape! Keep up to good work!
As of now it seems to be treating me just the way I want it to.GRunt how is that low cal High dose anabolic steroids cut treating you.??
As of now it seems to be treating me just the way I want it to.
I am feeling very good. The letro is keeping the estrogen from my 3.5g of testosterone in check. Plus, at 3.5g test, I get to feel warm all the time, there is a true thermogenic effect to it. Next time I'll run 5.25g see if that is any better, thermo-wise. I'm also dosing a tiny amount of 1.25mg finasteride to keep the ole prostate and hair doing good. I'm wimping out of 5.25g test this time around - call me prudent - in favor of 1.75g of EQ.
I feel good. Weight is coming down dramatically - I was down 16 lbs before the 2-week mark. Undoubtedly some of that is glycogen and water, what with all that T3 and cardio. I am now off the clen for 2 weeks and I can't wait to hit the weights later today. I will also weigh myself, although it will be an evening weighing, and thus not quite comparable to my usual morning weight. I'll have the exact bodyweight tomorrow morning at 15 days in.
Overall this is going so well. I can't honesly say that I feel a difference between test at 700mg and 5 times as much except for the thermogenic effect. On a bulk it would surely be pretty good too.
Oh and guys, androgen receptors UPREGULATE as an effect of anabolic steroids.
T3 is not catabolic, although it does give a very good impression of being so. But it is not. It merely temporarily depletes you and makes you weak. But it is transient.
Still, the calorie deficit itself is catabolic. Clen compensates for the deficit by freeing up fats in the bloodstream, creating a "more food than there really is" effect.
How do you ramp it down come contest time?I love T3 pre-comp lol
How do you ramp it down come contest time?
I been taking it kinda easy the last 2 weeks and I'm going back to full-force cutting next Monday for 2 weeks of fatloss madness. :bb2:You wouldnt believe it bro. I don't ramp it down. Same as my diet I eat exactly the same food intake up to the week of the show. I adjust nothing. If I start seeing that I am loosing to much muscle I then would ramp down the T3. But I have never really had that problem before a show. I use 50 mcg for 3-4 weeks depending on how low my body fat is. And then use some Diazide if it is available.
hows the training going
I agree, I made the same mistake in my first comp, not ramping down and definitely wasnt as full as I shouldve been.I been taking it kinda easy the last 2 weeks and I'm going back to full-force cutting next Monday for 2 weeks of fatloss madness. :bb2:
But not ramping down your T3 before your contest is IMO a mistake. I would do the contest on at least the 3-4th day of 12.5mcg after being at 25mcg for 3 days. You will see much greater fullness that way bro, I swear to you.
Every time I get off T3 I get huge but still lean. It really does hinder glycogen storage.
Thanks bro, I'm learning some posing right now and got my BF% measured, it's 12.5% at 232lbs on 5'9". Needless to say I'm happy about that.I agree, I made the same mistake in my first comp, not ramping down and definitely wasnt as full as I shouldve been.
@ Grunt, just been looking through your entire adventure, wow man you gained some serious muscle water gain aside.
really lloking forward to your updated pics after your fat-loss episode and your lead into contest time.:cheers:
you're welcome buddy. yes looking well indeed, a ripped you will do some damage onstage me thinks, well rounded physique.Thanks bro, I'm learning some posing right now and got my BF% measured, it's 12.5% at 232lbs on 5'9". Needless to say I'm happy about that.
About the bulk, well, even though I gained a lot over a relatively short time, I felt like utter crap and it will take a while to clean it up so next time I'm in muscle-gain mode it will be a much gentler bulk. Gradually over time is bound to feel better than that insanity last autumn.
I'll post new pics in about 3 weeks as I'm coming back to the gym after 2 weeks off today. :drunk:
yes it is only better up to a point, for me around 2g/week, after that it did nothing extra except for a little more water, higher blood pressure and shitty mood.lol.Oh and to those who wrote that with AAS more is NOT better I say:
Been there, done that and... YOU ARE RIGHT.
Actually it was less than usual. I've been on just 750mg test now and sex drive is better. Gonna add some tren and EQ soon, and then finalize with some masteron.Jesus grunt 5g's test, wow i can't imagine the sex drive on something like that, hell i'm on 500test/500tren/500masteron and my sex drive is off the charts. Well i should also take into account that your old enough to be my dad...ohhhhh snap, lol j/k
I have almost all my hair and I am 40. At about 1400mg test per week I start shedding some if I don't take my finasteride. 1mg ED of that is enough to fend off shedding even at 3500mg / week. For me that is. :thumbsup:Looking good.
Have you experienced any significant hair loss while prepping for the last several months ? It appears in your photos that you still have substantial hair left.
Thanks brother. You are right, besides not being lean, there are some flaws. I will hopefully learn to pose them out in part, and the rest will have to be corrected in the gym, by local injection of growth factors and come show day probably with IM winny. Ouch.hey you are looking very good. can see marked improvement. actually your physique is very similar to a friend of mine, nice symmetry and minor flaws. when ripped you are definitely top 3 matetrial. good luck with it.
Lookin good i'd like to see how you look when you are holding less water. And keep workin on your chest thickness that seems to be the biggest weak point i can see right now, arms are calves can come up a tad as well, but work on calves is literally never done, lolI have almost all my hair and I am 40. At about 1400mg test per week I start shedding some if I don't take my finasteride. 1mg ED of that is enough to fend off shedding even at 3500mg / week. For me that is. :thumbsup:
That is a blessing but OTOH my libido is always pretty low. Even now at 750mg/week testosterone.

Next pictures in about 2 weeks will be MUCH better, count on it.
hey man looking good i hope the show goes well for you. im looking to do ym first level 1 show as well, im not as big as you but u have quite a bit of years of training on meLooking good.

No, it is a prescription medication. Dutasteride is also very good but not prescribed here.hey man looking good i hope the show goes well for you. im looking to do ym first level 1 show as well, im not as big as you but u have quite a bit of years of training on me
anyways sorry to bust in but ive never noticed hair loss on cycles, although ive only done a couple. is finasteride an OTC product?
but flaws are minor as i said, you present a near complete package. yes the beauty of being shredded, some flaws magically disappear. good old local injections also works.never used IM vinny for that purpose, i found Nolotil is unbeatable. does not obscure any definition or vascularity and swells them up good.I have almost all my hair and I am 40.

you could have made great gains with 1/3 the juice bro, no way in hell do you have enough muscle that you need that much juice, hell guys at the national level heavyweights don't take that much juice in the offseason (well a few but not many). 750 test and 400 deca along with an oral should have produced great great gains bro. just my opinion so take it for what its worth manPainfully simple, brutal bulking plan:
Week 1: Test prop 700mg, Test Cyp 1,400mg, NPP 700mg, Dbol 40mg ED
Week 2: Test prop 700mg, Test Cyp 1,400mg, NPP 700mg, Dbol 60mg ED
Week 3: Test prop 350mg, Test Cyp 1,400mg, NPP 700mg, Dbol 80mg ED
Week 4: Test Cyp 1,400mg, NPP 700mg
Week 5: Test Cyp 1,400mg, NPP 700mg
Week 6: Test Cyp 1,400mg, NPP 700mg, Superdrol 20-30mg ED
Week 7: Test Cyp 1,400mg, NPP 700mg, Superdrol 20-40mg ED
Week 8: Test Cyp 700mg, NPP 700mg, Superdrol 30-40mg ED
Then, cruise with about 350mg test/week.
Food: Well I am going to be eating pretty much all I can, really. This is the FIRST TIME that I bulk using anabolic steroids, believe it or not. I plan on making the most of it. Right now, with just 2 meals in me, I am at 3,400 calories and am still hungry, so you guessed it, eating enough should NOT be a problem for me.
I plan on Lifting 3on/1off, body split in 5 bodyparts but training chest twice a week as it is my glaring weak point. Cardio will be done at LEAST 3 times a week, 30 minutes at medium intensity prior to lifting. Abs will be trained 3 times a week at least also, and glutes specifically twice a week at least too, since they are my other glaring weak spot. Don't ask, I have big quads - for me at least.
I had originally planned on using GH, 10iu 3x per week with 10iu slin, but this is not happening due to my financial situation taking a turn for the worse and GH prices and availability moving resolutely towards the unattainable to me. Even IGF and MGF are put in doubt at this point.
All is not lost though, as the GH 10x3 might find its way into this cycle or at least possibly the ensuing cruise, which would still make things quite a bit better.
Your thoughts and comments, my dear friends, are more than welcome.
just started dieting for nationals in november bro, things are good!Hey B-boy, how ya been man?
you could have made great gains with 1/3 the juice bro, no way in hell do you have enough muscle that you need that much juice, hell guys at the national level heavyweights don't take that much juice in the offseason (well a few but not many). 750 test and 400 deca along with an oral should have produced great great gains bro. just my opinion so take it for what its worth man
You know what, you might be right. But I did put on like 15-20 lbs of LBM in those 8 weeks, and don't tell me that's average for someone who's been bodybuilding 17-18 years. Anyway, the nandrolone gave me awful cystic acne and I'm still paying for it today. OTOH, you have to experiment to see what works out for you. I can tell you I never thought I'd be that miserable while bulking. Seriously, that was my last ever "all-out" bulk. YUCK.you could have made great gains with 1/3 the juice bro, no way in hell do you have enough muscle that you need that much juice, hell guys at the national level heavyweights don't take that much juice in the offseason (well a few but not many). 750 test and 400 deca along with an oral should have produced great great gains bro. just my opinion so take it for what its worth man
Yeah, some guys do super-well off standard doses and others are able to put larger amounts to work.depends who you are. i know many national level (UK) that took/take higher dosages than those. in fact some novice levels do.
all depends on your androgen receptor level, as im sure you know at you level of competition. but yeah many err on the side of too much rather than too little.
but i aint arguing, ive found great gains with less gear than I used to take more is better only up to a certain dose. best to use receptor mapping to find one's own working dosages
