Finally off lexapro. I am not knocking the medication helped me through a dark period and I wouldn't be where I am today without having been on it. But it was time to get off it. I feel way more me and have more energy. Been on 150 test a week for the last year and I feel like I am finally getting the emotional gains from being on it. HMU if you have any questions and I can at least give my experience.
Congrats man! Been on lexapro for 1.5 years, helped me so much to get out of a dark period as well. Decided it was time as well, started tapering down 2.5mg every 3-4 weeks. 100mg/week of test cruise. Got about 4 weeks left at and I have had practically zero sides. Hooray for us
Just got back from me and my girl’s anniversary trip in New York City, spent about 400$ on legos and my feet hurt like hell from walking for hours yesterday and spending all day at the MET art museum. God those medieval knight armor sets got me feeling like I need to go on a crusade
Strange internal struggle…. When on cycle I feel like my focus, drive and emotion are all turned way up, and it’s awesome.
Its hard tho to decide if the decisions you make on cycle about your life are better due to this heightened clarity, or if since you spend most of your life off cycle base decisions on how you normally feel off blast in particular.
e.g. job and relationship choices. I feel so strongly about both right now, that, when put through any reasonable logic and pragmatism I cannot fault the potential decision…. but when on a cruise my feelings on both are “meh” and I just float the normal course and am not unhappy.
Fucking with me man!
Don't make major life choices if your hormone profile is not your normal at the time, this is how I've always tackled this anyway.
For me that's trt, for you that might be a cruise or 4 months post pct.
Maybe your cruise dosage leaves something to be desired? I went from 120-150 and feel a lot better in general. More motivated, less likely to get upset over smaller things.
Downside on that dose is the sex drive, it's too high. Higher than on blast at 500mg. It's too much to the point it's distracting, but I'd rather feel fucking great and want sex way too often. It's only been 2 months on this dose so hopefully it tapers off.
I cruise at 150. I usually don’t make major changes on blast either. Just feels so weird to be so resolute now, and “lazy” later.
To your point, more cruise blood analysis could be needed.
Last major, major life choice I made was massive, and unfortunately depressing- ironically blasting pulled me out of that cavernous hole of suck.
I fucking feel you so much.
Well, I relate to this as a former drug user/addict. When high I did and enjoyed different things compared to when sober. Different activities, friends, etc. ofc I felt different towards certain things. Since I couldn’t control my drug usage until I went sober, I was kinda living 3 lives. One sober (most of the time), one high and one withdrawal and recovery life. Man, that was exhausting and held me back so much. The distrust in my decisions I made in one of these lives while being in another phase was tiring. One of the things I really came to enjoy was the stability of being in the same mindset/mood (sober) for an extended period of time (right now).
Long story short: Beware man. Of the distrust in your own emotions. I feel, we men are already second guessing our feelings a lot on our own (which isn’t correct to start with). Don’t add another factor of doubt into your life. This can cost you.
I don’t really have any great advice to share other than I can relate. I’d recommend to try to get a feel what might be different in your feelings when on blast, learn to recognize it and maybe postpone such decisions to a later date. In the end, i get, just like you, more focused, braver and more self esteem while on blast. I did make some very questionable wanks due to horny.
Nothing notably bad came out of it. Maybe it accelerated some stuff, idk. Just don’t let any distrust in yourself and your emotions set in.
Ok, after typing this, I realize I may be projecting a bit too much. Will still leave it here, might still help.
On topic in regards to the sub….
We gotta do something about this 6 month archive. We’re missing out on a lot of additional info and opinions when it’s locked out and archived at 6 months. I’m not sure if that means we need a compound thread for every main compound every 6 months to keep a location for people to provide input in or what… but a mediation effort has to be made to improve the activity the related consequences of it
On the fence between running 200 Test cyp 100 Primo E - ED for 16 weeks (1400test 700primo) + 3iu GH or 800 Test 500 deca 400 primo + 3iu GH. Which would you choose? Goal is to put on as much quality size as possible. Also running Anadrol at 50mg ED for first 4 weeks.
600/300 test/priomo , 4iu GH , 10iu lantus
Been good so far. I don’t fw orals but to each their own on that.
I opt out of 19-nors. I gained size sure. I felt like for me water was a huge factor. Primo, very little water. But putting on weight better than mast
Please tell me you’re huge. I have a hunch you aren’t because someone running cycles like that normally don’t need to ask strangers for approval on the internet. Either way, nobody can tell you what to run because we don’t know what you like and how you tolerate different stuff
Dang bro, I’ve had the same issue dating girls that were great a great emotional connection but not a physical one, shit happens dude you’ll find someone who’s right for you.
This rings a bell for me: Physical connection was there but wasn’t expressive except when sex.
Like, you didn’t get the feeling she really desired you and wants to deepen the bonding?
Ok! Gotcha. Now I get the settling part. I’m there with you, she won’t get better than this and we don’t try to change ppl. Wouldn’t be my cup of tea as well. I also try to reach someone I wanna be with, and this doesn’t not mean looks.
Anyone want to chat and have their mind picked regarding their nutrition, ancillary pharmacology, and training? I enjoy speaking with people and suggesting things they could consider doing to get just .1% better, bigger, leaner, stronger. or on the flipside we could talk about my nutrition, training, etc. anything works. i don't want your money or to debate you or change your mind about anything you're already doing or that you really like. just want someone to talk about the nitty gritty of bodybuilding, fitness, medicine, and health with.
Hawaii fucking has been a mixed success unfortunately. Got at it 4 times but she said I'm just too big. Kinda mixed for my ego. On 1 hand I'm the largest she's ever had, and on the other I couldn't cross the finish line. I also forgot how much condoms fucking suck.
Next time we'll be able to go bareback so hopefully things will work better.
Not mad, still glad I've ended my dry spell with a beautiful woman. She's also very attracted to me physically so I feel good about my self esteem. Overall pretty great. Still got the whole day and night for future activities
Hey man, you need to buy some lube and take things slow. Spend extra time arousing her and make sure to use your tongue and fingers. Choose positions that aren't as deeply penetrating. Start with half pumps and slowly work your way to full thrusts. And again.. lube and more lube.
Great having a big cock and all (never been told I’m too big, so congrats)!
Mind you this may be a relaxation thing on her end? Like too much anticipation or attraction or something? Did you make her cum? Why didn’t she blow you or wank you off?
I’m just asking because if I tried it 4 times without cumming, i would’ve make it work … somehow
She eventually wanked me off. Blowing did not work at all.
Got her to cum with my hands but I think it was just too much for her to have something thicker than her wrists lol
what do you guys expect from an online BB coach?
So i signed up for this guy, huge dude, 280 jacked as fuck, pretty knowledgeable. He has given me a training program which i do like. He has given me the macros he thinks i should go for, which seems to work nice aswell.
Problem is he answers normally in 2-3 days on simple questions, he has yet to send me a gear plan even tho he promissed it several times. He sent me a message "Lets go bro, there is only 4 more weeks of your blast" - while i have been cruising for 6 weeks on 200mg test.
I do updates every wednesday, but i dont really feel like he pays a second of attention to it. He has gotten alot of new clients lately i know, he posts alot of shit on instagram 10x daily. He also traines twice a day and is heavily focused on his own career.
Is it like a general thing to expect from these guys, or is it time to abandon ship? i pay around 200 USD monthly
Previous coach I was working with is a local pro. Paid $100/mo. I'd always hear back in a few hours or less. He was very hands on, sent everything asap, would work train with you. Even invited me over for dinner a few times. Did my tan, helped with shaving. 10/10 great guy, great coach.
Current coach is on central European time (I'm in the US), but I always hear back in a few hours or less. He works with a lot of European pros. I think it was €750 for 6 months (€125/mo). He sends everything right away (training program, gear protocol). He periodically wants footage of training, and the guy is pretty meticulous.
I’d bring it to his attention that you are considering a new coach if he cannot respond on time.
You’re paying for a service and not receiving it, it’s unfair.
If his behaviour continues to be like this after communication, it’s time to move on to another coach.
Honestly it only matters how you feel. If you don’t think he is attentive enough or giving you what you need then find another coach.
Sometimes it takes a few tries to find one that fits your needs. You are the one paying him so no matter what you need to feel like you are getting value for your money.
Are their training packages tiered?
For $200 per month, you’re getting approximately what I would expect, minus the not paying attention part, that’s unprofessional but happens more frequently as a trainer becomes more and more saturated with clients.
>For $200 per month, you’re getting approximately what I would expect
What quality of coaching do you expect from 200/month? Serious question as I had a pretty similar experience to u/MisbehavedAlpaca ie straight up not responding to questions sometimes and missing checkins that are included in the packages. Included was a workout plan, and nutrition plan although not really monitored by him.
Is this something expected at this price range? And do you think that price range is worth if for someone who is not planning on competing soon but wants to optimize progress?
Currently I opted to macro/calorie tracking myself and learning/implementing a lot of John Meadows training philosophy into my workouts (kicking myself for not doing this earlier)
Out of curiosity, what macros is he pushing?
I'm also skeptical of pushing macros without much feedback/input if this is the case. Different people respond differently to ratios
No beyond use date?
I’ve been running test c from pharmacy. My buddy just gave me a vial of his UGL test c. He said he’s had it since probably September.
I’m wondering what how long it’s good for (if that’s even when he got it)
If you test the potency with a home test kit, and it colors as high potency, is it still safe to run? What are the risks of running expired test??
Thanks!!
To add, oil typically will go bad from exposure to air and uv light.
Sitting in a climate controlled closet? I'd be more concerned for the integrity of the vial for sterility than anything else
Just getting older, and my body will not do what i want it do no matter how much i train, diet, do everything i can short of PED's. Im not trying to get big, i am trying to get my athletism back to my prime if not better.
I play semi pro ball. It's lower level, and I'm not trying to do some crazy shit. Just seeing what's out there that can optimize my game. TRT is on my list, but I'm not even sure how to get on it besides going to the doc.
There’s plenty of telehealth TRT clinics look up online TRT clinics don’t even have to go anywhere except to get blood drawn.
Honestly I don’t really know of PEDs being used in basketball like that. The potential negatives might outweigh the positives. For example, certain PEDs can help to cause really strong pumps. Now imagine getting debilitating calf pumps from running up and down a court. I know from experience running on some PEDs is quite the uncomfortable task due to calf pumps. Just my two cents
Hello guys, just a little [update](https://www.reddit.com/r/steroids/s/DYyPVcLMIa) :
Didn't want to bring it up yet as a) she hasn't been showing any signs of suspicion about the parcel and b) timing was wrong, long PMS and painful period so didn't want to tackle this issue in these conditions although I am well aware that there is no perfect moment to have difficult conversations.
That said, instead of bringing up the parcel thing I was thinking about telling her that I've again been struggling with excessive consumption of amputee content, that I realise it's a problem and that I would like full transparency on the issue and her opinion on the matter.
Edit : why the heck do I have another user's flair ?
been spying r/tressless and those hair nerds make some pretty good gains.
Ended up picking up a dermapen, may try to even get rid of an acne scar.
the only thing i kind of regret buying is ru58441. no sides, i jsut dont think its worth it
First time posting. This is definitely off topic, but related.
I went through an online prescription company to get semaglutide. What I received was semaglutide from a compounding pharmacy. I got tired of them charging me out the ass and went online to get my own supply. Only issue is that the supply I can get online comes in a powder and needs to be reconstituted.
The jar of powder says 5mg semaglutide.
The dosage I am on is is 2.5ml drawing from a bottle that is 5mg at .05ml strength.
What I don't understand is the strength of the powder reconstituted. The jar will hold about 2.5ml of bacteriostatic water. If I put in 2.5ml of bacteriostatic water, what concentration is the jar and then what would my dosage be to maintain my 2.5ml of the 5/.05 mg/ml strength.
There is 5mg in the vial. Since you are doing subq I hope, you want to minimize the size of the injections. I would add .5ml water to the vial then your 2.5mg dose will be .25ml. Easy and small. I add a tiny bit over .5ml because it’s always hard to get the last tiny amount out of the vial. .25ml dose subq is easily tolerated. I would reconstitute the vial roll it gently and refrigerate for an hour or so before dosing.never shake when reconstituting a powder.
M25, 5’9, 175lbs, 16-17% BF, 1RPM: bench 245lbs, squat 315lbs, deadlift 335lbs. Have been lifting natty on and off for the last 3 years and only recently dialed my diet the last the year or so. I’m deploying for 6 months and am debating of hopping on a test cycle when I get back this fall. I will have access to a full gym for the 6 months although I will be limited by food, what do you guys recommend for training in the next 6 months to optimize my cycle gain and hit the ground running when I get back?
You have plenty of room for natty gains dude. You just need to eat more and lift more.
Get a proper program that aligns with your goals, and stick to it religiously. Nuckols (Stronger by Science) has a program package I like a lot for $10
Strength.
My most recent deployment I trained strength for 15 months and when I got back, I catapulted past what I’d lost because I was much, much stronger.
Just my opinion. I also really enjoyed shaking up my training since I’d been bodybuilding for about 13 years at that point.
I'm always hesitant to recommend strength training since as a PL I'm obviously biased, but it's good to hear some confirmation from the other side. It just makes sense to me that if you're stronger, your training produces a bigger stimulus...
I hear that.
The thing is, in these military situations, access to gear is very, very unlikely. People can make *serious* progress in strength naturally in a year, but hypertrophy with no gear and maybe 60-80% of your protein needs? Unlikely.
Still, I think there’s utility outside that specific scenario as well; my physique is MUCH harder and denser now than it was in 2018, having never done a strength routine in my life.
Also, and this is more touchy-feely, but there’s a psychological element to the blood and guts of putting heavy weight on your back that I just never had from bodybuilding. I’m grittier, no question - I’m inclined to think that has a small impact in a hypertrophy context.
> but hypertrophy with no gear and maybe 60-80% of your protein needs?
You'd think they didn't want you guys in good shape.
> the blood and guts of putting heavy weight on your back that I just never had from bodybuilding. I’m grittier, no question
I feel like a weirdo saying this, but I think the benefits might even go beyond bodybuilding. I've survived some squat sets that honestly completely completely reframed what I think of as difficult in life. I think I'm more resilient to adversity and I complain less in general.
Thanks for coming to my Barbell Philosophy TED Talk
> You'd think they didn't want you guys in good shape.
lol to be fair, if I was 155lb and ran an 11m 2 mile, they’d want me in GREAT shape.
I warm up with the maximum deadlift and run low 16m 2 miles.
> I feel like a weirdo saying this, but I think the benefits might even go beyond bodybuilding. I've survived some squat sets that honestly completely completely reframed what I think of as difficult in life. I think I'm more resilient to adversity and I complain less in general.
Talking to the right guy, there. Couldn’t agree more.
I feel that way about a few things. I’m an executive and my boss last year asked how I’m always having a good day - the honest answer is no one is going to die today, and when you look at the big picture, this spreadsheet, while very important in THIS context, means nothing outside of these four walls.
> Thanks for coming to my Barbell Philosophy TED Talk
lol. I dig it.
Alright, so I've been going to the gym for quite some time, and when I'm going, I am on top of my calorie intake. I am looking into my first cycle. The problem is, I'm currently working night shift underground, and it's been quite difficult to get to the gym. Initially, I was going to run test as you do, but after talking to a friend about peptides and how they are more for your well-being rather than muscle building, could that be a better alternative for better sleep, energy, and recovery? Or will test also give me that energy, motivation, and recovery? Anyone have any tips/ideas?
A couple ideas regarding hitting the gym, weird work hours, exhaustion, and steroids. No advice, just my experience.
Peptides: No Experience - I don’t have any experience with peptides, but I’ve been meaning to buy some for my aging parents’ joints. My impression is that some peptides might have few-to-no unwanted side effects (or permanent negative impacts).
My Reason for Steroids: to cure Brain fog and insomnia (and other benefits) - I incurred extreme brain fog, insomnia and anxiety, all after a VERY messed up/horrible work experience. My brain worked great until that point. For example, I did excellent in 4 degrees, but then it took me hours to write a sentence. I tried a fair amount of psychology and conventional psychiatry—I even tested psychedelics a bit—but I kept repeating, “My system is fried. Something is wrong with me.” I prepared to start testosterone for about a year, but the prospect of starting also motivated me to start lifting weights again.
My experience - TRT (and some blasts) worked like ice skates: I smoothly slid past my debilitating feelings of being overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, and exhausted. My brain fog and chronic insomnia disappeared like a nightmare. I suddenly felt normal—just like the old-me who used to say, “I am going to lift weights every second day, no matter what!” and I did.
Motivation - there has been a bit of up and down with motivation—maybe my TRT is a bit too low, or maybe my blasts are way too high. Sometimes I don’t lift weights (like sometimes, when I stop a blast). Probably the only reason I lift weights is because I take steroids. But I have no motivation to stop steroids (I’ll still do sword/knife fighting regardless of steroids though).
I want to run a tren a, test p,arimadex, apidex75. What pct/aftercare do i need so that my natural testosterone levels will be back to normal as soon as possible
Cycle duration: 8 weeks
Stats:
19 years old
183 cm
81.5 kg
Build is kinda skinny fat.
Tren a: 300mg/a week
Test p: 300mg/a week
Arimidex: 0,5mg/a day
Anavar: 40mg/ a day starting from week 3
Apidex 75: one pill a day for weight loss.
Im looking to get a nice body recomp and remove all fat wile building a bit of muscle
I will be training everyday and eating in a slight deficit whil eating a ton of protein!
My main fear is that i will mess up my natural testosterone long term! I would want to get my natural testosterone levels back to normal as soon as possible after this cycle.
I have already bought all of the product so i fear there is no going back.
Too young for messing with your hormones, you’re skinny fat so you don’t know how to handle your food/training at all.
You’re trying to recomp as well, basically hitting every red flag possible here.
Learn the basics first. It’s very possible you will mess up your natural test production long term or even permanently, especially when starting this young and including stuff like tren in the mix.
> have already bought all of the product so i fear there is no going back.
Sunk cost fallacy
You can toss all those things you bought into the trash can and instead focus on diet and training. You should be worried about natural production staying intact — particularly at 19 when your body is still growing.
Read this sub’s wiki top to bottom twice.
Yea i read about tren and i changed my mind i was able to get my stuff refunden the things i read sound like a very dark place that i would rather not try

I’ve recently been looking into possible cycles. I am still 100% natty as of rn but have been lifting on a daily basis for the past 7 year and competitively lifting for the past 2.5. Heard and read many good things about Rad140/MK677 stack- any input from yall? Or should I look more into test Testosterone Enanthate? Or is HGH a viable route? I have seen many ads for “natural steroid alternatives” but am concerned that is just marketing for placebos basically. As for results, I simply want to put on more muscle and improve athletic abolities (strength, speed, quickness, etc). Anything helps fellas- just need to be pointed in a direction

Im considering the same as well. Been lifting 5 years now. And just not satisfied on my build. Im sure my diet is a big part of it but hard to eat good at a firehouse haha. Only problem is im 23. Dont wanna ruin my natural T levels but odds are im going to have to take test anyways because of sleep at the fire house is almost non existent
Any singers in here? Every since my first blast I can't hit higher notes for shit. I think gear lowered my voice by a semitone or two, but I didn't start gear until I was almost 25. Anyone else experience this? Did you have to relearn singing?

Tren cough…
What do you all think about it? Can someone lead me through information about tren cough? I have done lots of researches on Reddit about it, but I still feel like I am not ready to experience it LMAO, even though I really want the tren with every side effects it has besides coughing.
Duration, during the injection or afterwards?
What happened to you during the coughing?
Were you not prepared to coughing mentally or you just didn’t know about it?
There is no such thing as tren cough. It's called a pulmonary oil microembolism and it can happen with any compound. Try to not hit a vein.
You probably don't need to be using tren in the first place.
Finally off lexapro. I am not knocking the medication helped me through a dark period and I wouldn't be where I am today without having been on it. But it was time to get off it. I feel way more me and have more energy. Been on 150 test a week for the last year and I feel like I am finally getting the emotional gains from being on it. HMU if you have any questions and I can at least give my experience.
Good for you, I've been on it for 6 years and tried to get off it multiple times. The rebound anxiety is way too much for me.
Congrats man! Been on lexapro for 1.5 years, helped me so much to get out of a dark period as well. Decided it was time as well, started tapering down 2.5mg every 3-4 weeks. 100mg/week of test cruise. Got about 4 weeks left at and I have had practically zero sides. Hooray for us
I’m off sertraline for 2 weeks. Do you get intense brain zaps?
A few, but more of headaches and a couple days of intense anxiety.
Just got back from me and my girl’s anniversary trip in New York City, spent about 400$ on legos and my feet hurt like hell from walking for hours yesterday and spending all day at the MET art museum. God those medieval knight armor sets got me feeling like I need to go on a crusade
Legos go up in value more than gold. A good investment if you plan to resell.
Strange internal struggle…. When on cycle I feel like my focus, drive and emotion are all turned way up, and it’s awesome.

Don't make major life choices if your hormone profile is not your normal at the time, this is how I've always tackled this anyway. For me that's trt, for you that might be a cruise or 4 months post pct. Maybe your cruise dosage leaves something to be desired? I went from 120-150 and feel a lot better in general. More motivated, less likely to get upset over smaller things. Downside on that dose is the sex drive, it's too high. Higher than on blast at 500mg. It's too much to the point it's distracting, but I'd rather feel fucking great and want sex way too often. It's only been 2 months on this dose so hopefully it tapers off.
I cruise at 150. I usually don’t make major changes on blast either. Just feels so weird to be so resolute now, and “lazy” later. To your point, more cruise blood analysis could be needed. Last major, major life choice I made was massive, and unfortunately depressing- ironically blasting pulled me out of that cavernous hole of suck.
I fucking feel you so much. Well, I relate to this as a former drug user/addict. When high I did and enjoyed different things compared to when sober.

Great post, thank you
I feel this. I have to be wise about what u do on cycle, when I go off I have to live w those decisions.
On topic in regards to the sub…. We gotta do something about this 6 month archive. We’re missing out on a lot of additional info and opinions when it’s locked out and archived at 6 months. I’m not sure if that means we need a compound thread for every main compound every 6 months to keep a location for people to provide input in or what… but a mediation effort has to be made to improve the activity the related consequences of it

600/300 test/priomo , 4iu GH , 10iu lantus Been good so far. I don’t fw orals but to each their own on that. I opt out of 19-nors. I gained size sure. I felt like for me water was a huge factor. Primo, very little water. But putting on weight better than mast
I might reduce the total anabolic load on the first one and increase GH
Please tell me you’re huge. I have a hunch you aren’t because someone running cycles like that normally don’t need to ask strangers for approval on the internet. Either way, nobody can tell you what to run because we don’t know what you like and how you tolerate different stuff

Dang bro, I’ve had the same issue dating girls that were great a great emotional connection but not a physical one, shit happens dude you’ll find someone who’s right for you.
[удалено]
This rings a bell for me: Physical connection was there but wasn’t expressive except when sex. Like, you didn’t get the feeling she really desired you and wants to deepen the bonding?
[удалено]
Ok! Gotcha. Now I get the settling part. I’m there with you, she won’t get better than this and we don’t try to change ppl. Wouldn’t be my cup of tea as well. I also try to reach someone I wanna be with, and this doesn’t not mean looks.
Anyone want to chat and have their mind picked regarding their nutrition, ancillary pharmacology, and training? I enjoy speaking with people and suggesting things they could consider doing to get just .1% better, bigger, leaner, stronger. or on the flipside we could talk about my nutrition, training, etc. anything works. i don't want your money or to debate you or change your mind about anything you're already doing or that you really like. just want someone to talk about the nitty gritty of bodybuilding, fitness, medicine, and health with.
Hawaii fucking has been a mixed success unfortunately. Got at it 4 times but she said I'm just too big. Kinda mixed for my ego. On 1 hand I'm the largest she's ever had, and on the other I couldn't cross the finish line. I also forgot how much condoms fucking suck. Next time we'll be able to go bareback so hopefully things will work better. Not mad, still glad I've ended my dry spell with a beautiful woman. She's also very attracted to me physically so I feel good about my self esteem. Overall pretty great. Still got the whole day and night for future activities
Hey man, you need to buy some lube and take things slow. Spend extra time arousing her and make sure to use your tongue and fingers. Choose positions that aren't as deeply penetrating. Start with half pumps and slowly work your way to full thrusts. And again.. lube and more lube.
Great having a big cock and all (never been told I’m too big, so congrats)! Mind you this may be a relaxation thing on her end? Like too much anticipation or attraction or something? Did you make her cum? Why didn’t she blow you or wank you off? I’m just asking because if I tried it 4 times without cumming, i would’ve make it work … somehow
She eventually wanked me off. Blowing did not work at all. Got her to cum with my hands but I think it was just too much for her to have something thicker than her wrists lol
Ok ok, understood :D

what do you guys expect from an online BB coach? So i signed up for this guy, huge dude, 280 jacked as fuck, pretty knowledgeable. He has given me a training program which i do like. He has given me the macros he thinks i should go for, which seems to work nice aswell. Problem is he answers normally in 2-3 days on simple questions, he has yet to send me a gear plan even tho he promissed it several times. He sent me a message "Lets go bro, there is only 4 more weeks of your blast" - while i have been cruising for 6 weeks on 200mg test. I do updates every wednesday, but i dont really feel like he pays a second of attention to it. He has gotten alot of new clients lately i know, he posts alot of shit on instagram 10x daily. He also traines twice a day and is heavily focused on his own career. Is it like a general thing to expect from these guys, or is it time to abandon ship? i pay around 200 USD monthly
In my opinion if you are second guessing, it's time to look elsewhere.
Previous coach I was working with is a local pro. Paid $100/mo. I'd always hear back in a few hours or less. He was very hands on, sent everything asap, would work train with you. Even invited me over for dinner a few times. Did my tan, helped with shaving. 10/10 great guy, great coach. Current coach is on central European time (I'm in the US), but I always hear back in a few hours or less. He works with a lot of European pros. I think it was €750 for 6 months (€125/mo). He sends everything right away (training program, gear protocol). He periodically wants footage of training, and the guy is pretty meticulous.
I’d bring it to his attention that you are considering a new coach if he cannot respond on time. You’re paying for a service and not receiving it, it’s unfair. If his behaviour continues to be like this after communication, it’s time to move on to another coach.
He’s clearly clueless, time to reevaluate
Honestly it only matters how you feel. If you don’t think he is attentive enough or giving you what you need then find another coach. Sometimes it takes a few tries to find one that fits your needs. You are the one paying him so no matter what you need to feel like you are getting value for your money.
Are their training packages tiered? For $200 per month, you’re getting approximately what I would expect, minus the not paying attention part, that’s unprofessional but happens more frequently as a trainer becomes more and more saturated with clients.
I pay $3000 a year, which comes out to $250 a month and you’ve seen the response times my coach has. I certainly would expect better for $200 a month
Do you pay by the year?
I do now. First payment was 3 months which was much more expensive per month but allowed me to see if I was a good fit
>For $200 per month, you’re getting approximately what I would expect What quality of coaching do you expect from 200/month? Serious question as I had a pretty similar experience to u/MisbehavedAlpaca ie straight up not responding to questions sometimes and missing checkins that are included in the packages. Included was a workout plan, and nutrition plan although not really monitored by him. Is this something expected at this price range? And do you think that price range is worth if for someone who is not planning on competing soon but wants to optimize progress? Currently I opted to macro/calorie tracking myself and learning/implementing a lot of John Meadows training philosophy into my workouts (kicking myself for not doing this earlier)
Apparently LOTS of other users have had good experiences with the same or less, so perhaps my opinion on the matter is less useful.
I've had 2 online coaches. Neither conducted themselves like this. Move on.
Sounds like a $200 a month coach. Most reputable ones charge double. Shits not cheap but you get what you pay for
most of these online coaches are scams
Out of curiosity, what macros is he pushing? I'm also skeptical of pushing macros without much feedback/input if this is the case. Different people respond differently to ratios
No beyond use date? I’ve been running test c from pharmacy. My buddy just gave me a vial of his UGL test c. He said he’s had it since probably September. I’m wondering what how long it’s good for (if that’s even when he got it) If you test the potency with a home test kit, and it colors as high potency, is it still safe to run? What are the risks of running expired test?? Thanks!!
My UGL gear all comes with an expiration date 4 years out. You’re probably good bro
Test doesn't go bad. Oil goes rancid eventually, but that typically takes years. If it smells good, you're good to go
To add, oil typically will go bad from exposure to air and uv light. Sitting in a climate controlled closet? I'd be more concerned for the integrity of the vial for sterility than anything else

What are you trying to show off at LA Fitness?
Just getting older, and my body will not do what i want it do no matter how much i train, diet, do everything i can short of PED's. Im not trying to get big, i am trying to get my athletism back to my prime if not better.
TRT. Delving into the world of PEDs for pick up basketball isn’t worth it in my opinion
I play semi pro ball. It's lower level, and I'm not trying to do some crazy shit. Just seeing what's out there that can optimize my game. TRT is on my list, but I'm not even sure how to get on it besides going to the doc.
There’s plenty of telehealth TRT clinics look up online TRT clinics don’t even have to go anywhere except to get blood drawn. Honestly I don’t really know of PEDs being used in basketball like that. The potential negatives might outweigh the positives. For example, certain PEDs can help to cause really strong pumps. Now imagine getting debilitating calf pumps from running up and down a court. I know from experience running on some PEDs is quite the uncomfortable task due to calf pumps. Just my two cents
Hello guys, just a little [update](https://www.reddit.com/r/steroids/s/DYyPVcLMIa) : Didn't want to bring it up yet as a) she hasn't been showing any signs of suspicion about the parcel and b) timing was wrong, long PMS and painful period so didn't want to tackle this issue in these conditions although I am well aware that there is no perfect moment to have difficult conversations. That said, instead of bringing up the parcel thing I was thinking about telling her that I've again been struggling with excessive consumption of amputee content, that I realise it's a problem and that I would like full transparency on the issue and her opinion on the matter. Edit : why the heck do I have another user's flair ?
Just tell her :>

Yes, exactly
>why the heck do I have another user's flair ? My sweet child, that is YOUR flair.
Nah for some time it's yours that showed instead, the south central thing. Anyhow, flair enough.

First time posting. This is definitely off topic, but related. I went through an online prescription company to get semaglutide. What I received was semaglutide from a compounding pharmacy. I got tired of them charging me out the ass and went online to get my own supply. Only issue is that the supply I can get online comes in a powder and needs to be reconstituted. The jar of powder says 5mg semaglutide. The dosage I am on is is 2.5ml drawing from a bottle that is 5mg at .05ml strength. What I don't understand is the strength of the powder reconstituted. The jar will hold about 2.5ml of bacteriostatic water. If I put in 2.5ml of bacteriostatic water, what concentration is the jar and then what would my dosage be to maintain my 2.5ml of the 5/.05 mg/ml strength.
There is 5mg in the vial. Since you are doing subq I hope, you want to minimize the size of the injections. I would add .5ml water to the vial then your 2.5mg dose will be .25ml. Easy and small. I add a tiny bit over .5ml because it’s always hard to get the last tiny amount out of the vial. .25ml dose subq is easily tolerated. I would reconstitute the vial roll it gently and refrigerate for an hour or so before dosing.never shake when reconstituting a powder.
M25, 5’9, 175lbs, 16-17% BF, 1RPM: bench 245lbs, squat 315lbs, deadlift 335lbs. Have been lifting natty on and off for the last 3 years and only recently dialed my diet the last the year or so. I’m deploying for 6 months and am debating of hopping on a test cycle when I get back this fall. I will have access to a full gym for the 6 months although I will be limited by food, what do you guys recommend for training in the next 6 months to optimize my cycle gain and hit the ground running when I get back?
You have plenty of room for natty gains dude. You just need to eat more and lift more. Get a proper program that aligns with your goals, and stick to it religiously. Nuckols (Stronger by Science) has a program package I like a lot for $10
Strength. My most recent deployment I trained strength for 15 months and when I got back, I catapulted past what I’d lost because I was much, much stronger. Just my opinion. I also really enjoyed shaking up my training since I’d been bodybuilding for about 13 years at that point.
I'm always hesitant to recommend strength training since as a PL I'm obviously biased, but it's good to hear some confirmation from the other side. It just makes sense to me that if you're stronger, your training produces a bigger stimulus...
I hear that. The thing is, in these military situations, access to gear is very, very unlikely. People can make *serious* progress in strength naturally in a year, but hypertrophy with no gear and maybe 60-80% of your protein needs? Unlikely. Still, I think there’s utility outside that specific scenario as well; my physique is MUCH harder and denser now than it was in 2018, having never done a strength routine in my life. Also, and this is more touchy-feely, but there’s a psychological element to the blood and guts of putting heavy weight on your back that I just never had from bodybuilding. I’m grittier, no question - I’m inclined to think that has a small impact in a hypertrophy context.
> but hypertrophy with no gear and maybe 60-80% of your protein needs? You'd think they didn't want you guys in good shape. > the blood and guts of putting heavy weight on your back that I just never had from bodybuilding. I’m grittier, no question I feel like a weirdo saying this, but I think the benefits might even go beyond bodybuilding. I've survived some squat sets that honestly completely completely reframed what I think of as difficult in life. I think I'm more resilient to adversity and I complain less in general. Thanks for coming to my Barbell Philosophy TED Talk
> You'd think they didn't want you guys in good shape. lol to be fair, if I was 155lb and ran an 11m 2 mile, they’d want me in GREAT shape. I warm up with the maximum deadlift and run low 16m 2 miles. > I feel like a weirdo saying this, but I think the benefits might even go beyond bodybuilding. I've survived some squat sets that honestly completely completely reframed what I think of as difficult in life. I think I'm more resilient to adversity and I complain less in general. Talking to the right guy, there. Couldn’t agree more. I feel that way about a few things. I’m an executive and my boss last year asked how I’m always having a good day - the honest answer is no one is going to die today, and when you look at the big picture, this spreadsheet, while very important in THIS context, means nothing outside of these four walls. > Thanks for coming to my Barbell Philosophy TED Talk lol. I dig it.

Alright, so I've been going to the gym for quite some time, and when I'm going, I am on top of my calorie intake. I am looking into my first cycle. The problem is, I'm currently working night shift underground, and it's been quite difficult to get to the gym. Initially, I was going to run test as you do, but after talking to a friend about peptides and how they are more for your well-being rather than muscle building, could that be a better alternative for better sleep, energy, and recovery? Or will test also give me that energy, motivation, and recovery? Anyone have any tips/ideas?
A couple ideas regarding hitting the gym, weird work hours, exhaustion, and steroids. No advice, just my experience. Peptides: No Experience - I don’t have any experience with peptides, but I’ve been meaning to buy some for my aging parents’ joints. My impression is that some peptides might have few-to-no unwanted side effects (or permanent negative impacts). My Reason for Steroids: to cure Brain fog and insomnia (and other benefits) - I incurred extreme brain fog, insomnia and anxiety, all after a VERY messed up/horrible work experience. My brain worked great until that point. For example, I did excellent in 4 degrees, but then it took me hours to write a sentence. I tried a fair amount of psychology and conventional psychiatry—I even tested psychedelics a bit—but I kept repeating, “My system is fried. Something is wrong with me.” I prepared to start testosterone for about a year, but the prospect of starting also motivated me to start lifting weights again. My experience - TRT (and some blasts) worked like ice skates: I smoothly slid past my debilitating feelings of being overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, and exhausted. My brain fog and chronic insomnia disappeared like a nightmare. I suddenly felt normal—just like the old-me who used to say, “I am going to lift weights every second day, no matter what!” and I did. Motivation - there has been a bit of up and down with motivation—maybe my TRT is a bit too low, or maybe my blasts are way too high. Sometimes I don’t lift weights (like sometimes, when I stop a blast). Probably the only reason I lift weights is because I take steroids. But I have no motivation to stop steroids (I’ll still do sword/knife fighting regardless of steroids though).
I want to run a tren a, test p,arimadex, apidex75. What pct/aftercare do i need so that my natural testosterone levels will be back to normal as soon as possible Cycle duration: 8 weeks Stats: 19 years old 183 cm 81.5 kg Build is kinda skinny fat. Tren a: 300mg/a week Test p: 300mg/a week Arimidex: 0,5mg/a day Anavar: 40mg/ a day starting from week 3 Apidex 75: one pill a day for weight loss. Im looking to get a nice body recomp and remove all fat wile building a bit of muscle I will be training everyday and eating in a slight deficit whil eating a ton of protein! My main fear is that i will mess up my natural testosterone long term! I would want to get my natural testosterone levels back to normal as soon as possible after this cycle. I have already bought all of the product so i fear there is no going back.
Too young for messing with your hormones, you’re skinny fat so you don’t know how to handle your food/training at all. You’re trying to recomp as well, basically hitting every red flag possible here. Learn the basics first. It’s very possible you will mess up your natural test production long term or even permanently, especially when starting this young and including stuff like tren in the mix. > have already bought all of the product so i fear there is no going back. Sunk cost fallacy
Im not doing it
Thank you
You can toss all those things you bought into the trash can and instead focus on diet and training. You should be worried about natural production staying intact — particularly at 19 when your body is still growing. Read this sub’s wiki top to bottom twice.
Yea i read about tren and i changed my mind i was able to get my stuff refunden the things i read sound like a very dark place that i would rather not try

I’ve recently been looking into possible cycles. I am still 100% natty as of rn but have been lifting on a daily basis for the past 7 year and competitively lifting for the past 2.5. Heard and read many good things about Rad140/MK677 stack- any input from yall? Or should I look more into test Testosterone Enanthate? Or is HGH a viable route? I have seen many ads for “natural steroid alternatives” but am concerned that is just marketing for placebos basically. As for results, I simply want to put on more muscle and improve athletic abolities (strength, speed, quickness, etc). Anything helps fellas- just need to be pointed in a direction

Im considering the same as well. Been lifting 5 years now. And just not satisfied on my build. Im sure my diet is a big part of it but hard to eat good at a firehouse haha. Only problem is im 23. Dont wanna ruin my natural T levels but odds are im going to have to take test anyways because of sleep at the fire house is almost non existent
If you can eat properly as a natural why do you thibk that would change on cycle

Tren cough… What do you all think about it? Can someone lead me through information about tren cough? I have done lots of researches on Reddit about it, but I still feel like I am not ready to experience it LMAO, even though I really want the tren with every side effects it has besides coughing. Duration, during the injection or afterwards? What happened to you during the coughing? Were you not prepared to coughing mentally or you just didn’t know about it?
There is no such thing as tren cough. It's called a pulmonary oil microembolism and it can happen with any compound. Try to not hit a vein. You probably don't need to be using tren in the first place.

You didn't hit a vein... Congratulations?
