Lipids are my limiting factor so I had to figure out what helps. In no particular order: Statins (or red yeast rice extract, which has a naturally occuring statin monacolin K - they prevent the synthesys of cholesterol in your body and raise HDL to an extent) Ezetimibe (probs the best medication...

Yeah, he's insane. I base a lot of my training/programming off of him. I think he is the only modern bodybuilder who can say he trains, not works out

It prolongs how long the drug releases from the injection depot, which the provides more stable blood levels. Personally, I think this is a bit excessive when pinning everyday with a medium ester. Also it can cause some lumps under the skin which can look weird and the injection volume is quite...

As far as supps go, fish oil is overhyped IMO, I never saw much difference on bloodwork. Citrus bergamot is the 2nd best supp for lipid control, if it wasn't so expensive I'd run it year round. If you need more stuff for lipid control, look into red yeast rice extract, I lowered my cholesterol...

Yes, I have found the same thing myself, how drastically nicotine influences blood pressure. Stopping nicotine is not just a health decision, it's also a financial decision, since now I spend less on snuss and less on blood pressure meds. It's also worth noting nicotine quite heavily decreases...

Was it the stiff knee sleeves ban that pushed you over the edge? Asking because I started my powerlifting journey in the WRPF because they have a few things I prefer over IPF: 24 hour early weigh ins, deadlift bar on deadlifts, better atmosphere on lifts, monolift, etc.

Salvatore already said alot, I'd just add some more things to keep an eye on: blood pressure. Especially for powerlifters, blood pressure can be an issue, so stay on top of it. Bloodwork looks good, keep an eye on lipids and liver enzymes and you'll be fine

I agree on the low e2 being bad, but I do think you can have too much aromatisation on a dose of testosterone, that is not maxxed out (meaning you would still get more anabolism from raising the dose)

Yes, to a point, but free testosterone will aromatise even if it does not saturate all androgen receptors, so I don't think the assessment is correct here. It's the androgenic side effects (the non genomic effects) that signify the androgen dose is too high and testosterone will aromatise before...

Maybe it's even not dangerous, since the estrogen alpha receptor is only "responsible" for feminising effects. Don't know about libido changes, my client who is on 175 test e and 700 mast e had zero complaints

Maybe they dropped e2 because they got leaner. That's why anecdotes are usually problematic: the variables are not all under control. Masteron is usually used in cutting cycles, so the people you mentioned probably lost bodyfat. This happened to one of my clients.

I do plan on using EQ during my next cycle and yes, it does make sense e2 crashes towards the 10 week mark, as the EQ in the system saturates, while testosterone has been saturated since week 4 (assuming the ester is enanthate). I don't see how my statement contradicted anything you said here...

Boldenone undecyclenate has a half life of 2 weeks, so it will actually take 10 weekf for it to saturate. watch out for high e2 sides until it saturates. And be careful with blood pressure and blood thickness, this is very dangerous for the kidneys

Do you have any bloodwork to share? Mechanistically, we have zero clue why masteron would reduce estradiol, but EQ and primo have the double bond at position 1 (similarly to exemestane and testolactone). I can share a few bloodworks (from about 3 different people) that prove primo reduces...

Cycle update #3 (10 weeks in - 10th of August): 1. Stats Weight: avg. weight over the last 7 days has been 98kg, but for the last 2 days, it was 99,5kg 2. PEDs Protocol PEDs: I concluded my 2 week experiment with IGF1-LR3 and the results are inclonclusive. Maybe it worked, but I can't say for...

Fair enough, that sometimes happens on a cruise for some reason. Still, I always advise to try and be as certain as possible, not just go off feelings and predictions

Mostly agree with him, even the fertility is relatively easy to recover if you know what you're doing and after using steroids for decades, the procedure just becomes very long and drawn out. Still, to minimise the chances of having a long and miserable PCT, HCG is very useful and maybe consider...

Why do you have elevated prolactin? Do you have bloodwork?

Why caber? You are not on tren or nandrolone. Masteron does not control estradiol. Primo and EQ do

Can't say, since there were other factors at play (hopping on/off cycle, using red yeast rice extract, which has a statin which very much improves cholesterol values, etc). I know in research, the difference is quite big after 4-6 weeks. My veins haven't regained their elasticity though, which I...
