Hi Prae,
I have used Deca in the past for off season cycles, which normally look something like this:
500mg Test C/E
300mg Deca
The results are always good. However, Deca always makes me feel extremely lethargic/tired and shut down. I am curious as to whether EQ would be a viable replacement for Deca. Assuming that everything else stays the same (diet, training, etc.), would EQ give comparable gains to Deca?
I started the Test/EQ cycle 3 weeks ago (500mg Test and 400mg EQ) and I was wondering if I should get more EQ to run it for the full 12-16 weeks, or if I should stop it after next week and replace it with Deca. I realize that EQ is a very long ester and many say that it would take a while to notice effects. But personally, I used to always notice gains from Deca as early as 2-3 weeks in despite Deca also being a long ester. So far EQ does not feel any different than running the 500mg of Test alone. I am also not getting the anecdotal hunger increase that most people report.
Also, I am trying to eat as clean as possible but it's difficult to get the calories in without eating junk. I'm only trying to eat clean due to the difficulty I always encounter when cutting. I want to save myself some work and not get too far from contest shape. Looking to gain 15-25 lbs in the next 3-4 months or so. Is that realistic? My diet right now looks something like this:
Meal 1 - 6 whole omega 3 eggs with 3 additional egg whites.
Meal 2 - 12 oz ground beef with 1 cup brown rice.
Meal 3 - 12 oz chicken breast with 1 cup brown rice
Meal 4 - Protein shake with 50g protein powder and 2 teaspoons of natural peanut butter.
Meal 5 - 8 oz steak and 4 pancakes.
Meal 6 - 12 oz ground beef with 1 cup brown rice.
Meal 7 - Not really a "meal," but I drink 2 glasses of organic, low sugar chocolate milk before bed. I'm lactose intolerant but this particular brand adds enzymes to it and is also low in sugar and has double the protein. Yummy way to get in extra calories.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, as well as suggestions for different kinds of food!
