Welcome everyone!
I am not one of the serial posters on here so please allow me to give you some background.
History synopsis
I started working out at 15, had a pretty serious shoulder surgery but have been pretty consistent since 18-19. I started at 135 and shot up to 185 pretty quickly. Started anabolics far to young and found out I don't respond like I wish I did. I've tried every diet and training method that I thought held water and I learn that the more you learn the more you realize you don't know anything. I've been down to the lowest bf% (honestly I'd guess 4%, wish I had pics) at 202 or all the way up to 240 and plump (unforutently that was this year and I DO have pics from 228 and it was OUCH). I got gyno from tren (I have more than enough experience to know what did it) so I can't use my beloved substance or any 19-nors and also can't use any orals
So after 10 years of being an endo and hard gainer all in one I think I know the ropes. I will be brutally honest.
The Present
Fallen into HRT. Just did a long cutting cycle and am not happy with the results that I achieved without my beloved tren but it is time to give my body a rest. I am cycling down to just test but at above hrt levels and coming off of T3 after a 5-6 month run. I am still trying to diet and somewhere in the single digits currently but want to get lower and tighten my skin.
Sound like a challenge? Cutting while lowering doses and coming off T3?
Ha yeah it will be hard so these supplements have their work cut out for them.
The Supplements and Expectations
Erase
This is replacing aromasin so not noticing it is a GREAT result. Basically for estrogen control it is being compared to the big boys. Secondly I am coming off of t3 and cutting on a LOW calories diet so the cortisol blocking properties and concurrent TSH increase would be very appreciated. Again though, this is an area where it will be hard to notice and in fact just staying the same course and not gaining fat would be a great result
I have high expectations on this but I know it doesn't sound like it but trust me if it does what I hope it will or even close then it is a keeper.
Need2Slin
This is the x-factor and the only supplement not directly replacing another supplement.
Carbs kick my butt - I usually need to cut on very low carbs but coming off of t3 I think I want to play around with this. I need to play this by ear but need2slin can make itself noticed in fat loss and muscle fullness and pump. My pump goes to hell and I look flat as heck.
Stano-drol
I am coming off of masteron in the not too distant past so I am just hoping to get a little bit of vascularity and maybe get a little strength back (or lose less) again being a vet to anabolics I think any results will be atributed more to the Erase and Need2slin filling in their respective needs
OEP
Honestly, I just need a fat burner to get through the day by the end of summer. I am skeptical but I simply want a little boost in energy and some TSH modulation.
I don't take much else:
BCAA pre/during Training, NOW Thyroid energy, very little protein powder...
Currently using Recover pro for pre-wo
Training plans
Planning on ultimate diet 2.0, I like how idiot proof it is. Now it is not easy and it is not for everyone but is someone is tougher and more dedicated than they are intelligent and wants to assure success then its amazing
I am considering adding some extra carbs and adding some cardio to give my thyroid a fighting chance of recovery. On the carb up days i might use a little extra need2slin.
Also I have limited lifting facilities and a list of injuries so my training is not what I would suggest but it is all I can do. Do not take my movement or weight selection as anything to learn from but it is what I have learned that I can currently do will I get to a better gy,
