I have been mixing the test and EQ its just my last injection day i decided to try separate shots so i could verify that the stealth test enan was the source of the pain like previously thought.jmh80 said:Mix the test and EQ????
Also - I don't think Provirion adds much on SHBG binding - test injections lower SHBG on their own.
Im on the island of Oahu and actually that pin was a lot less stressful then the damn glutes. so now i have 6 sites i plan on hitting 2 quad, 2 delts (medial, havent tried the others) and 2 ventrosUbiquitous said:I bet you sweat your ass off during that pin .. .huh? lol
Hey I was meaning to ask you, what island do you live on? I've only been to Kauai.
Distilled Water said:Pump i finally found this thread. I wasnt searching that hard but finally here none the less. Yea u are right this log is a mess, but o well we get the idea of things.
Are u using Anabolic Xtrmeme PP or a clone?
pistonpump said:LOL i know what a mess! haha sorry guys.
I found out that its not really PP its Generic Labz PheraMAX which is a ErgoMAX clone. They are very similiar but imo PP is a tad bit better....wish i could find some but i think im going to probably stay away from these designers after this cycle.
Ubiquitous said:Mesterolone, Stananzolol, Drostanolone.. these all have a high affinity for SHBG.
Jimmyho, where did you see that Exogenous test lowers SHBG? I was under the impression it actually would raise your SHBG due to your body's predisposition for homeostasis.

LOL haha i was waiting for that. Well I got sick not to mention jumped by three fckin cowards at a bar.....long ass story but they mustve felt intimidated because they didnt even say anything to me i just got punched from the side as i wasnt paying attention and proceeded to attack me from all angles. I guess i got may ass handed to me but cmon whatever that shows no testicles man, the least they could have done was warn me or attack me head on. oh well im not going to sweat it. I also dont have the internet at my new place that i just moved in to so it makes updating this a little tough, sorry.Distilled Water said:PUMP did u get hit by a bus this last week or what????
I have read a study about this which reports that SHBG *INCREASES* proportionally with testosterone up to a certain dosage, past which point it plummets.jmh80 said:Ubes,
There's a study I read somewhere that most steroids actually lower SHBG (I can't remember which ones increase it - maybe D-bol??? That's a guess though).
There isn't much need for an SHBG agent, IMO, on cycle.
Ill be starting week 7 tomarrow. About half way thru the injections.Ubiquitous said:how many weeks in is this? EQ takes a while to exert outward effects (vascularity, appetite).. and it is a "slow building" compliment to Test, so it's not a dramatic anabolic.. it's a nice mild addition.![]()
Well the stealth test is from a VERY well known UG but since the EQ ester has a longer life im sure the test is working (so its not bunk) because i feel something it is just not real apparent.ryano said:I dont see a problem with 750 at your size. 750 feels pretty good to me. I didnt have any major sides or anything. Then again I have never done EQ. At least it might give you an idea what is going on with the gear. I love UGs but thats the risk you take.
Scarred? No but I'm sure *HE* is!ryano said:4 grams a week? Im skarred.
cant really say i notice a difference...i thought you were running a log. Are you still on your cycle?MattHines said:piston, a good way to tell that the test is kicking in is increase in core temp. It will seem like you are always warm.
I noticed this around week 3
If youre not gaining on 4500-5000 cals you might need a change in your exercise program. just a thought.MattHines said:I'm on my cycle but not running a log. I just started week 8. Ive been running IGF-1 and its been leaning me out like crazy. I am eating 4500-5000 cals and still cant gain. I keep losing BF tho so I'm happy. I'm sitting right around 200.
On another note, I'm surprised you didnt go with pure test for your first cycle. It would have definately helped isolate the gyno problem. A lot of people recommend high dosed nolva or letro to get rid of the gyno on cycle.
axekick said:What's up Piston. I'm in week 2 Test e solo. It's my first cycle too. I'm not feeling much yet, but I like doing it. I will also be fighting gyno I'm sure. I'm using adex as well, although I'm probably going to switch to letro. I don't know if anyone anwered your question about post cycle therapy, but I know you should drop the adex post cycle. Bridge into the nolva. The nolva should protect you from the rebound of the adex. Thanks for the log. I'm right behind you.
pistonpump said:I was thinking of running nolva throughout the cycle as well but that would be alot of nolva for an extended period of time and im not sure im down with messing with estrogen that much.
Distilled Water said:Piston im sorry to hear the cylce isn't going to well my friend. Atleast u dont have nipple discharge like i have now. I myslef have pubertal gyno so i know what ur going thru and it blows......I havent been updateing my logs becuase Im freaked out about the discharge (who wouldnt)
U have any input on the subject?
Back to you.....So are u holding stong @ 211 or rollarcoastering? How long have u been running this cycle and do u think ur gonna stick with it?
pistonpump said:If youre not gaining on 4500-5000 cals you might need a change in your exercise program. just a thought.
Im not gaining too much myself but im blaming me not the gear as i have been sloppy throughout this cycle and just personal setbacks along the way...This last half is going to be 10x better im sure.
I figured EQ is so mild and most of its effects are similiar to test I didnt think it would be a bad idea. I am on the lookout for the sides that most experience with it but so far so good.
what is your program?MattHines said:My exercise program seems to be working and I have been completely dedicated the whole cycle. I go 4 days a week with a push/pull split and 10-15 mins of low intensity cardio after. Ive been doing cardio less in attempts to gain more mass but I still appear to be getting bigger although the scale isnt saying it. I think its the IGF-1 leaning me out...we will see once I end my IGF-1 stint and get to pure test. I think the fact that I'm running Adex has something to do with it as well...I'm definately not bloating up. Either way, I'm happy with the gains. I think with injectables, they just come a lot slower than with orals.
Distilled Water said:Hey piston do u think ur cycle would be a baseball player friendly cycle, maybe not superdrol but anavar inplace?
I have a friend whos playing AAA ball. The only guys who get busted for it down there are the guys they want to release anyways. Im not saying im even close to thinking about jumping to the darkside but it would be nice to know........
I think my problem is gone, i squezzed 2day and nothing happened. Weird thing is this is the 2 week mark since i stopped my M1T and word is M1T messes u up up to 2 weeks after your last dose.....go figure
Yes and since i did 3 orals at the start of this cycle im not sure which it is from. I now will never take MegaTRN again ive had nothing good from it really and i think it is the culprit. The superdrol as well, with all the delayed gyno from it it could also be adding to the problem. I also didnt respond very well to superdrol so that is out the window too. Im done with designer orals.Ubiquitous said:The metabolites of Tren, as it is a Nandrolone derivative, are detected for quite a while.. I forget the exact time frame, but it is not test-friendly.
I've thankfully never had lactation, but that seems to be a Prolactin issue.
Ill continue on the AI and 60mg nolva until i can get some Ralox then i will run ralox at your recommended dose until PCT where i will go with some Toremifene. Ill order some B6 and some Vitex too.Ubiquitous said:Invalid Link Removed
and
although I couldn't seem to find straight Pyridoxine (B-6) on Nutraplanet's website, you can just Froogle B-6 or Pyridoxine.. Nature's Way or NOW are good brands.
As for the AI, they are thought to hinder gains, yes, as estrogen is beneficial to all of us.. and eradicating Estrogen will most certainly hinder weight gain... Running that high dose of Nolva isn't good in my mind. I'm much more comfortable with Ralox at 120mg/d than Nolva at 60mg/d. This is of course in reference to running it for the duration.. but you can run Nolva like that until the gland subsides a bit.. My personal preference as stated is Raloxifene with Exemestane to combat gyno.. and then I just taper the AI off and continue Raloxifene at 60mg/d until cessation of cycle, then aggressive PCT.
If you are having Gyno problems, the by all means keep up the AI if you feel it is working, alongside a SERM. I would sacrifice gains over gyno anytime. I'm sorry you are having this negative experience though..
Others may chime in with their opinion or preferred protocol.
Well, I considered nolva to maybe a source as well. I really feel Ralox through out for the pre existant gyno would be a good idea and Vitamin B6 for lactation. The B6 seemed to work for Distilled Water so im going to go that route. I read some of the benefiets on B6 supplementation too.Ubiquitous said:I forgot to mention, some people on the boards say that Nolva actually increases PR activity in your breast tissue... so that might not be the best choice for a Progestin/Prolactin problem.
There are many schools of thought on this Piston.. as I myself have not dealt with Lactation, I can't say in confidence what will ultimately work for you.
