This is just an update for Jmany and anyone else whos interested..... 4 weeks in and i am stoked... up about 10 pounds, leaner and more vascular... not getting the huge appetite some get from eq, which is ok cause im trying to do a recomp phase/lean bulk. Cals have been around maintenance with a keto style diet with a carb up once a week... yesterday my bro who i train with said my arms look 2-3 inches bigger pumped (illusion) cause it was after a carb up day.. today did delts, and i had the nastiest pump, one of those painfull but amazing pumps, veining out everywhere.. Today was the first time i actually would call my delts cannon balls! Ill keep you guys updated! I wanna add another compound towards the end, still havent decided what yet. its gonna be a 20+ cycle, probably longer :yeah

I`m running test, equi as well. Today I`m starting winny at 50mg daily (oral) Have 7 weeks left of this 20 week ride. It`s been a good cycle and for once my arms didnt`shrink while dieting. Forgot to mention I run clen at 120mcg a day and started an old bottle of Biotest T-2 which is supposed to keep the thyroid gland in check. All the best in your cycle bro!

Too much! I originally was going to run just 400mg test and 300mg of equi, but got some equi test which has 250mg test and 200mg equipoise per ml. So ended up doing 2cc`s a week giving me 500mg test and 400mg equi. Then started my 5star stuff and wanted to get more test is as I wasen`t feeling the kick I was looking for. So now I take 800mg test and 300mg of equi a week. I may have enough equi so that I will be able to take 450mg of equi the rest of the cycle (7 weeks) I still feel very calm and never have had any outrages. The equi has not increased my hunger at all.

Too many sides from what I hear. Proscar won`t help witht he hairloss, then you have to get some caber in case of prolactin issues ($$$) and the night sweats just sound gross. But it sounds like some very powerfull shit!

I was using it to see if it helped with bad joints and stuff... I just did the math here and will be able to run it at 600mg for the remaining of my cycle But for sure next cycle, I will run it at 600mg the whole time with 800mg of test the whole time as well. Then I`ll say "Boom, take a look at this hunk of mass..."

for jionts nothing beats deca.....
but wait before you rag on me about the prolactin sides....yes first off everyone is different

but myself and many others run it at 400-500wk with no negative sides at all, this is why i love deca, results are seen at as low as 400wk, with no problems

I like it better than deca. I break out large on deca and EQ is nice and mild in my opinion. Great for overall performance improvement. Really like it during contest prep.

guys.... I am doing EQ right now at 600 mg's a week along with 1000 mg's of test e and 50 mg's of Anadrol ED and 50 mg's of Tren ED, when I first started my EQ I could eat a truck I was so hungry but didn't really start to feel it until about 6 weeks in, same with the test e, introduced Tren at week 7 and things really started to excell, I won't touch Deca ever again because I crash way to hard on it and the weiner just won't work at all. Most steroids with long esters like EQ and Test E don't start working fully until week 6-8.

My 2 cents.

the difference is when you give advice people will think you are doing so based on your own personal experience or research that you've come across. 600mg/week for you *might* be overkill so unless you have actually done it you can't provide advice on what you actually think.

It's all good. No need to get defensive about it.

Every recommendation is 400mgs - 600mgs, im sure 400 would be fine for me, but ive always went with the higher end of the dosing scale lol.
Anybody ever try 600mgs, then go up to 800-900? Any real increase in gains, vascularity?

i did 600mg EQ....with 1G Test & 450mg Tren E.....no problems...

i think the only thing people run into running more EQ is anxiety......but i dont think i got any @ 600mg so i wouldnt mind bumping it up......

I ran test e at a gram along with 800mgs of eq a wk without any neg sides for 16 wks but also without any difference as of gains/vascularity than running it at 750mgs test e, or 600mgs eq.....just my experience though as everyone responds different...:popc2

........got your pct all set up C? and what's your protocol?

GYMBRAT
05-08-2009, 03:38 PM
forgot to mention also that I don't go any higher than 750mgs for test etc anymore neither, for me I just never felt nor gained anymore at any higher dose "more is not always better" just more chance for unwanted sides. I think that's why one takes lengthy times off to give your receptors time to clear.....works for me, but once again thats just me! ;)

Thanks for the feedback GB... right now if i stop at around 20 weeks im just gonna go my nolva route for pct no hcg, its always worked fine... if i go longer ill probably add in hcg, especially if i do the plan you sent me... looks kick ass!

What kind of past cycles have you done to find that? Are you gaining or dieting? I`ve been dieting and so far have kept all my strength, even increased it on leg day. The next 6 weeks though I plan on really going lower in cals and can`t say for sure if I will be able to keep up the same weights.

i've dont m1-t, var, tbol, test, eq (not all at once obviously lol) can throw proviron in there too if you count that..

and i am trying to lean bulk right now.. i'm 5'6.. starting weight was 158ish.. current weight is 175ish..

strenght has gone from benching about 305lbs for 1 to 315-320 for 1... so its up a bit but nothing huge

wow wolvy, be careful, thats a lot of junk to come off of, if you think you crashed hard on deca, wait for the tren crash, and it IS coming, hard....
Good thread guys....Personally i keep my eq at around the 400ish range and use about 750 of test and im going to throw 30 mgs of dbol in, that cycle should take me to 260-270 and stay hard and get large and strong...tried and true...Personally i dont see the point in doing to many compounds at once...Be careful guys, i hope we are in it for the longgggg run...
Its fun to experiment, so have fun and be safe...
I get a bit nervous when i see posts stating that one needs to do X amnt to see any advantages, etc....then another guy ups the anti....use and abuse, keep it real guys and we will be in the mastrs together...lol, some sooner than others...haha

Ya i havent decided on what to add around week 8-10, dbol 30 - 40mgs(i have had good luck with dbol), tren A at a low dose cause it would be my first time, winny or var(had good luck with var)

You can add tren at as little as 200mg a week for a real power booster with little sides.

WHoever said Proscar wont help with hairloss is wrong. I used to thin out quite a bit when using certain drugs but now thru the years I been on it my hair stays the same no matter what Im on or dose and I never get any acne either...Ive said it a million times too if you get acne get Proscar and a good anti it will keet it away.

*update* body weight is up about another 4 pounds... The EQ hunger finally hit me! Today was my first day that i had a cheat day, it was mostly clean foods. Ever since ive been increasing my cals little by little, my hunger is going nuts.. All my lifts are increasing weekly, my body weight is up, way more vascular/ staying around the same bf%... In a few days im gonna add in 5* dbol for 8 weeks... So far im loving the addition of eq, the gains are just getting better and better.. Im gonna try to control my cals somewhat until my weight gain slows, then ill keep upping the cals more and more
