@Hyde i like the idea of using Anadrol to feel up before the photo shoot.
What's the best way to avoid the bloat I've heard about? SeRm? Ai?
Probably a little more AI. SERM would only be added if you have some gyno you’d like to minimize. Too much AI for too long can flatten you out if estrogen gets too low.
A low fluid intake the final days is probably necessary, and minimal salt in the days before that. Salt within 24 hours when fluid is very low may be a good thing. There usually is a depletion of carbs and electrolytes in days leading up to the shoot, then water is pulled down hard at the end and very close to the end carbs and salt are added back in with the Anadrol to help fill out your now dried-out frame.
You should probably read up on this stuff and don’t take my word on it, because that’s not my wheelhouse.
I would still run something mild if you have a photo shoot coming up, but that's just me. SD always take about a week to see noticable cosmetic effects.
Anadrol idk never tried it! I would run something like 11 oxo/ 11 keto a few weeks before. The main side effect from accutane is liver toxicity and it's dose dependant. Most studies were saying .5 - 1 mg/ kg/ day is a good dosing range with minimal side effects
You’re thinking about basal use. That is not what I am discussing. I mean acute use for a couple days. Like when I take 20mg of Dbol before a single training session and I get such skin-splitting pumps suddenly that I have to use less weight and reps and take more rest; these drugs can do things acutely and immediately too.
Anadrol is sometimes used in the final days during carb up protocols before a bodybuilding show, along with insulin, diuretics, dietary and water intake manipulations, etc. They can get really tedious, and it will be very different for every athlete and coach & scenario, as well as how the athlete is actually responding in real time. I don’t have that experience and plenty of guys that do still suck at it, or don’t and still get it wrong, because there’s so many variables that effect moment to moment conditioning.
We are not trying to put on actual size; I am talking about driving an acute increase in intramuscular fluid retention while in a short and controlled enough window that he won’t risk a bunch of extra cellular water retention. Like, he should take a pill the day before with a very regulated diet & low fluid intake, and if he still looks dry in the morning of the shoot, assuming he is drinking next to no water, he would take another. Superdrol could be used here as well.
If he wants to do something to really change his actual physique, yeah 20 days of Superdrol would be ideal, but now he’s going on blast and taking that health impact, which he may not want to do.
