Hyde’s Strength Odyssey

[Hyde]

Gotcha. I knew it was one or the other. So far I’ve enjoyed USPA. Haven’t had a bad experience as of yet.

Essentially most of the Midwest defected from the USPA over politics concerning background checks on officials.But I competed basically entirely in the USPA for nearly a decade. It was THE fed for serious untested lifting.

Man I just now got to download and watch the video, it is so much more epic than even reading about it. I found myself holding my breath at times even though I knew the outcome. Also, you sound a lot like me. "Go Bad Ass!" "Break her!" SO awesome man. Like watching a damn good fight you are invested in. I loved it and seeing her so elated when she won! Congrats to both of you, you are quite the team, and your success plays off of each other.

Also, her back and shoulders are awesome, and so powerful looking. Legs too obviously, but you could really see the back muscles working!

Thank you; her nickname in the sport prior to meeting me even was “Badass” sandwiched between her first & last name. So it’s a moniker she’s identified with for 12+ years.

Yeah you can definitely tell she has been carrying & pressing a lot of heavy stuff for a really long time!

Took my first 2iu of GH before training today, along with 500 carnitine. I train fasted on weekday mornings right now, so easy fatloss opportunity.

AMRAP wasn’t as strong as I’d have liked this week, but I pressed rep 5 out towards my feet & consequently wasted too much gas to warrant attempting a 6th rep. That being said, all my doubles were easy & everything else felt stronger this week.

Also, 30mg of Tren E is still enough to make a positive influence on your bedroom life

Are you doing 30mgs of Tren E per week? How’s your mood? I know you said Tren ace on a daily schedule can get you a little pissy over 15mgs lol.

Yep. Was snappy first 2 days of bumping gear up last week, then felt really good since - almost calming, honestly.

Tren E will build up to much higher blood levels on much less total mg - 30mg E weekly is like taking 70/wk of Ace as far as peak blood concentration, after a few weeks. And the dose they use in cattle to retain muscle while starving averaged over time & converted to human equivalent dose for a 200lb bodybuilder is only ~22mg/wk. So it should do what I need most at this very low dose.

This week will be:

280 test e / 180 mast p / 60 deca / 30 tren e

That looks like a good low dose blast. When do you or are you going to bump the dosage in conjunction with your upcoming meet? I know you’re cutting weight to get to the 100kg class.

Also do you ever run your mast and an equal ratio to test or do you do better with it under like you’re running it now?

Sounds like all systems a go! That tren statement reminded me of this nugenix commercials, “And she’ll like it too”

I usually make small adjustments very frequently to my stack as a prep progresses - but especially at the beginning to get things dialed in, and the end to peak. I usually mix up my oil for just 2 weeks at a time to administer daily/eod with slinpins.

Gotta be careful with what and how much I take, because I need to get bodyweight down & steroids generally increase that - muscle RETENTION is the priority over total. I want a better base composition to grow from later.

I don’t think I intend to increase oils much beyond 600/wk. Mainly just switching Mast from P to E next week & getting that dose dialed in relative to my test/deca estrogen burden. Might adjust tren at some point. But total dosage will hopefully double via orals eventually on this run (since appetite isn’t so necessary).

Planning to add 50mg Anavar somewhere between 4-7 weeks out. Possibly with 40mg Tbol during peaking block. Might add 10-20mg Halotestin week of comp, depending on how that tests out on a few peaking circamax sessions. Never used Halo before, but this cut is an ideal scenario instead of Anadrol. Should see highest total dosages between 1,000-1,250mg around 4 weeks out.

Man I laughed so hard! Reminds me of the SNL Nugenix skit too:

Forgot to add, ratios are BS for gear dosing. At 1:1 test:mast, I’m probably getting injured at 100-200mg each from dryness, while 600:600 I’m basically a water buffalo. Aromatization of test to estro isn’t linear; it increases with excess testosterone. So at low test doses I can’t run much mast because I’ll get too dry, but eventually I could run more mast than test if I took enough test (and wanted to go bald for some reason).

(and wanted to go bald for some reason).

BRB buying some mast so I don't have to deal with this fucking lionsimane attached to my head any more.

It’s test you really want; definitely sheds more PER MILLIGRAM than mast & you’ll get big AF. However, because mast is weaker, some people take a ton instead, then get surprised when they are shedding. Because total amount still matters on an individual level

My head so far has proved pretty resistant to MPB, but I'm sure there's a dose somewhere that'll turn me into the Rock.

Reverse Hyper
250,320x20

This session really was big for me. Things were just moving well: I felt connected with my body & in the grooves I needed to be. Knees were tracking well, no hipshifts, staying upright, and not sitting too far back. I recorded the triple at 500 & realized I was squatting high to protect my back. Made the adjustment, filmed 525, and I buried it & 460x7.

After the deep squatting my back strain wasn’t feeling great going into deadlifts, but it wasn’t getting worse & I was able to get up to an actual practice weight successfully using my belt. 455 felt hard because I was dehydrated in the hot garage (we had big tornadic storms that brought terrible humidity), but it grooved awesome & wasn’t making things worse. I was soaked after this one; had to bring out a shower towel to get on the reverse hyper.

 

[sammpedd88]

That makes a ton of sense. I’ve seen so much talk about running test and mast. Some say 1:1 some say run mast half of your test dose. As you just laid out there’s no way to really tell without knowing how your body responds and good ol’ blood work!

I don't think I've ever gone 1:1 personally. Maybe a little over half my T dosage with Mast, but my joints start getting a little crunchy with Mast, so I usually try to basically go minimum effective dose to keep estrogenic sides at bay and have a bit of a drier look.

Not like it's a huge muscle builder anyway, so there isn't a ton of value in cranking that dosage up beyond the minimum you need to feel good with whatever T dosage you're running.

 

[Dustin07]

dude those squats are monsters today, the 460 x 7 makes me wanna puke looking at it lol.

we had big tornadic storms that brought terrible humidity

criminy, I saw you guys were getting nailed. our place is so not prepared for high winds right now, I think that would be devastating for our setup since everything is like, half way there, functional but not bolted down lol.

I’ve never ran mast but have heard guys on another forum say they like adding it to their TRT for the libido and boost in that well being feeling. That got me to thinking about adding it to mine.

That’s a great way to chronically skew your lipids, staying on Mast or Primo year round. The only people that do that are casuals afraid to do any real blasting, or very serious guys that take too much year round.

Well I’m glad I brought it up lol.

 

[Hyde]

I experimented with it.

Adding some primo (120/wk maybe?) I got a bit stronger/recovered faster than just my 180 test. My lipids also didn’t improve off blast much, blood did not thin out, and noticed a bit of shedding even with very low dose. Would be better to stay on 300 test and some Exemestane.

100 mast with 180 test, pulled an adductor after having miserably creaky achey joints all winter. Took stopping it to realize how terrible the mast was cooking my joints at replacement test levels.

300 test, 200 mast usually goes pretty well for me. Not much difference than 300 test with an AI though, but it’s the better combo in a blast for me where more mg is ideal.

I definitely don’t want to dry my joints out….thats no bueno. Looks like I’ll just leave it alone, stay on my TRT dose since I just came off my blast for nationals, and start back up in a few months for my next meet with test and deca. I’ve ran both of those on two different cycles and had no issues (450 mgs test and 150 mgs Deca).
