so yes essentially, all thats required is to activate the androgen recpetor, all anabolics via lock and key binding satisfy this need. – think of anabolics as all being a key that is the same shape that fits a lock, – but each key is made of a different material (gold, iron, silver ect for example) – its the shape not the material that matters.

now in reality, there are some other factors to think about that can help swing the balance of muscle building – certainly the direct strength increasing effects some hormones have than others. more mechanical tension – more potential muscle gain also The ability of some hormones to aromatise in to estrogen vs others – as estrogen is mightly important also for muscle protein sythesis. And also aother effects such as anti-glucocorticoid which tren has a big impact.

So its not so straight forward. – But what I will say is that you will not notice a huge difference, if you did muscle biopsies and compared physical muscle cell increaes between them, people are very easily fooled into thinking water weight ect is muscle growth – and would therefore claim 1000mg of testosterone builds more muscle than the same mg of primo

so yep, likely the npp tipped you over the edge, – most people would generally be okay at these dosages and with the additon of masteron helping modulate the androgen/estrogen ratio but in some rare outliers it just doesnt give the desired effect.

Reduce test to 250 – npp to 150 , keep mast at 300. evidently 500mg of aromatising compounds is just a little too much and over regulating prolactin. vit b6 should be plenty enough to keep it at bay as it lowers from the stack design changes

with the greatest respect, – I dont see why you need to lay off upper body workouts for 5 weeks, a fractured thumb certainly isnt reason to. – adapt. improvise. – Doctors are OVERLY dramatic. – Indeed I reckon i could do 90% of my usual routine without the use of my thumbs, via straps, cuffs and using thumbless grips on machines

excellent leg session today

Hack – 5 second eccentrics top set of 8.5plates – 8 sets – these ruined me, and tbh is really all I need to blow my quads up – bar some muscle rounds on leg extension

lying leg curl 3 sets – muscle rounds
Seated leg curl 3 sets – rest pause
Adductor 4 sets – straight sets

followed by an evening of all you can eat sushi

[Max]

its a decent generic

there is no difference between the two – reason being, there is absolutely no reason why, -no matter how serious a strength althlete you are, – why you should allow your tolerance for blood pressure to be higher. There are a huge array of tools we can use to get it in range, neglecting it is just ignorant. Everyone can get it between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmH

[Max]

so you have 2 cohorts that people seem to follow

number 1) – start off with the minimal dosage required to generate results and start from there – so what youre suggesting 150mg/200mg

cohort number 2) – which I tend to side with – if youre going to do a cycle, do the one which gets you the best bang for your buck in terms of progression vs negative health consequences – which would be baseline level of test 250mg ish – and then escalate a dht such as primo/masteron from 150mg to say 300mg. – as thats where the law of diminishing returns tends to start to rear its head at circa 500mg peak androgen usage.

I see no reason why you should stick to 150-200mg of test for a first cycle, as the health consequences of adding in that little bit more androgen use of test/primo will barely be apparent – yet the increase in potential muscular gains will be very significant.

[Max]

lower the test a bit to account for the npp aromatisation. so something along the lines of 250 test, 300 mast 200 npp would be a fair shout.

[Max]

huge range of potential causes, from low estrogen to seratonin, what dosage are you cruising on

[Max]

for sure, injectables will take their toll on your body as well -id also highly recommend taking the k2-d3 combo supp as well

[Max]

I too take 2 as well a day – imo vitamin k2 is one of the most important things you can take as an assisted althlete

[Max]

Strength shoo also do the 12” ones as well – these are much better to use in conjunction with daisy chain

Try both their normal Instagram account and gymshop UAE as well

Had a fantastic push session, – despite getting covid, strength coming back fast.

200×5 paused bench went down a treat – I’ll get that to 10 soon enough

Sounds like a some sort of impingement, could be the hoffas fat pad, as that’s in that location, but impossible to know for sure. If it’s unbearable think about an mri – it’s unusual to get pain in knee with little flexion exercises such as an rdl though
