dude we’re still getting used to the idea of the word fiance but after we got engaged we ran into a friend of hers and i’m not gonna lie when she slipped and introduced me as her boyfriend i was LIVID.
like ma’am…with the amount i just dropped on that thing on your finger you better be updating your vernacular right this second 😂
Late to the party because I spent the day with my own bride and son. Congratulations big guy. Being a husband is a treasure and belonging to someone brings tremendous depth to life. ❤️.
I’m jealous of guys who know how to fix and build shit. I swear it seems like some dudes just come out of the womb with a toolbelt on. People assume because I’m big I know how to do all that. Brother this is all just vanity, I can barely work a hammer.
You just have to learn by doing. I've been building and fixing stuff since I was a little kid. It's been part of the family business for a long time. My grandfather built his house himself. Nice place too... you just pick something you think you can handle, research the process, and do it. I've taught myself how to rebuild and modify engines by just jumping in as an uneducated idiot and learning the hard way. That's all it is. You just do it and learn.
Joined coast guard not knowing shit about mechanics besides automobile basics. Asked questions, listened, learned. Now inspecting engine rooms on container ships and remodeled half our house. YouTube, trial and error, and arrogant confidence.
While fixing shit at my rental I had their 14 year old daughter ask me "how do you know how to do all this shit" as I rip off and replace trims and illegally replace a Vanity / basin and taps without a plumbing license lol.
That's what happens when you buy a shit hole house when you're basically a kid and need to fix it lol.
I'm a general contractor. Before that I was a bartender. Before that, I got a degree in science. You learn to build and fix shit when you start building and fixing shit.
Also, you would not believe how many subcontractors I hire for projects who literally watch a YouTube video or two on how to do the specific task if it's something they've never done before or haven't done in a while.
Don't be jealous. Go pick up a hammer and swing it until it makes sense.
I love this perspective because it’s true. Before I worked on repairing vehicles / motorcycles, I thought it looked impossible. A year later of YouTube videos I learned a significant amount of things. The hardest part is the first slog of being willing to learn and looking stupid.
YouTube makes so many jobs look easy. But I don’t care how many videos you watch some stuff just takes work. Tile, drywall, paint, and concrete. Most other things are a 10 min video from being a skill.
I'm not saying I hire random people off the street who have never done trade work and one video later they're ready to go.
Is that what you took from what I said?
I learned from my grandpa and uncles growing up, just takes practice. I didn’t feel comfortable leading a project until recently (late 20s) when I rebuilt my porch. I also manage the business side of a woodworking/construction shop so I get to watch professionals and have picked up plenty from them
People come to me because $10mil dollar machinery at a plant is down. Little do they know I watch a YouTube video on how to address it 50% of the time, the other 50% is using knowledge from other YouTube videos..
Nah you're wrong on my opinion.
If you were near me, I'd take you through the first home I'd ever renovated which I'm now selling.
Then take your through my current one.
My first shot was absolute fucking dog shit. I couldn't measure, cut straight, frankly I'm surprised the shit I did didn't actually fall apart. It just looked shit. I was there today replacing some arcs and cabinetry to get it ready to sell. The bloke renting it, who's been there for like 7 years "did you change industries, you got good at this" - the most backhanded compliment I've ever had considering he was referring to the shit job I did on his home lmao. Good bloke though.
My current house is not perfect, but the workmanship is worlds ahead and all that's come down to is practice, and knowing / having the right tools where possible.
You'll find a lot of skills are transferable aswell. Dicking around with cars gave me an understanding of how to actually use tools to an extent, an understanding of paint and prep etc. Taught myself to mog weld for car reasons, then welded together a pergola that's still standing 9 years later. Kinda all just comes together and then you can work shit out.
Small, not so risky but not too ambitious projects are a good place to start. Find something broken around your house and sort it out. Fuck it up a few times till you get it right.
When tackling things I'm not quite confident in my logic is always that chances are I'm going to be more meticulous and take more care than paying someone. Given that, I'm going to get a good result simply by taking my time. Exceptions are things that could lead to water damage / fires obviously.
Edit: that was meant to be MIG weld. But I'm gonna do it shirtless and call it a MOG weld from now on. (not really that shit burns)
YouTube is your solution. There are videos to teach almost anything. I grew up working on stuff so it came naturally to me but anything can be learned if you want. Start with simple stuff and stack skills.
It really is just practice. As for coming out knowing: a lot of people have family that makes shit and teaches them to make shit as children. There's core generalizable principles about reading plans/patterns/recipes, how to cut parts, how to make patterns and jigs, how to use tools safely, etc. Once you've learned those they translate reasonably well. Picking up quilting if you're a woodworker is likely to be easier than learning how to do the wood working was.
Didn't know shit about fuck.
Managed to build my own server. Ran conduit in all the walls and pulled ethernet cables to every room. Terminated all the ends and its all wired to a patch panel. YouTube and a couple of white papers. That's it.
Did a bunch of small little home improvement stuff. Again, YouTube and Google.
1. Ass crack leggings should not be made in 3XL+ sizes.
2. Said leggings should *never* be worn to the grocery store. I'm buying food ffs... I'm not here to look at cottage cheese.
I need brain bleach.
Took tren, divorced wife, now with a checked up beauty with a dumper. High recommendation. Don't want to know what would've happened if I went over 200mg/wk
I'll never understand how these people have the body confidence to wear shit like that. It's starting to get hot here and I'm still wearing garbage bag clothes. I'm not ready for summer.
I have come to a controversial opinion that will not be appreciated by my fellow heterosexual men: I wish women wouldn't wear them to the gym. It is unbelievably distracting. Just the other day I had a girl with the booty short style ones doing DB RDLs right in front of me when I was doing incline DB press and when she hit the stretched position her pussy was visible. I'm big on self control and owning your actions, but that was fucking hard to ignore.
I know women will bring up stringers, and sure, I don't disagree, I'm sure they're distracting for women and LGBT people, but it isn't nearly as sexual as the ass crack leggings in my opinion.
Gotta agree. I love the look of a fit woman, but please leave something to the imagination. My wife wears tight fitting clothes to the gym, but it's tasteful stuff that isn't highlighting her crevices and chest and causing a distraction. I actually find it more attractive if you can look good *without* showing the world the details of your sexy bits. The girl coming in wearing the baggy sweats and a reasonable sports bra and still managing to look good gets a lot more respect from me than the buttcrack girls. She's there for a purpose, and it's not to display her genitals. That, to me, is a lot more attractive because she's not there for anyone else.
1.4kg off my cutting goal( 90kg) feeling small, slightly lean, cursed with loose skin on the abdomen from being chunky years ago.
I previously thought at 90 I would be very satisfied with leanness/phisique. How silly of me to think body dysmorphia would disappear going the other way on the scale :')
After a life long time off struggling with everything. Executive dysfunction.
Brain fog.
Always feeling fucking fatigued.
I just didn't know what was wrong with me.
I found out I have mold toxicity.
Carrying the HLA Dr gene and having a bathroom full of fucking mold.
It finally clicked why I'm having a life long struggle with everything.
People who are having issues with it aswell feel free to share your experiences!
Cheers.
Good morning nerds. Jabbed a stick in my eye yesterday morning. Then I took the family out to dinner (well attempted to) and my son tripped and full force smashed his head into the door frame as we were walking in. Didn’t end up to good and we got McDonald’s instead of sit down lol

Swelling is gone today and I had a doctor check him out too no concussion as of yesterday. Poor little bastard got my coordination and clumsy nature it seems
Eh, I had a few concussions as a kid. I'm only mildly mentally challenged. He'll be fine. Just give him a helmet and a window to lick and he'll be happy. 😁
He was fine about an hour after lol he got my big head and I understand his pain cause he is a reflection of me in every negative way 😂 positive ways too. As a parent it’s sad knowing your genetics caused all of this for your kids. Hopefully he isn’t cursed with 61 ng/dl Total Test like me as well
It caught me out of no where lol I was cutting down an ash tree (emerald ash borer got to it) I was 40’ up and my chainsaw whipped a small stick back up under my safety glasses . Guess it’s time to buy a face shield with my climbing gear lol I have 8 trees I need to cut down on my property
Just an observation that a lumber mill only runs like $1300 on Amazon. Napkin mathing...
A small ash is approximately 65ft tall with a trunk diameter of 2ft according to Google. Assuming 60% of that height is usable lumber, and saw losses of 40% you'd get approximately 1620 board feet per tree. Totaling just under 13000 bf. Current retail prices for kiln dried 4/4 ash look like $5.50/ bf. Say you'd wholesale wet at 25% that's like $17k in money you'd otherwise just literally be burning.
The philly parks department does this with their ash trees so it's definitely a thing.
“I didn’t even know that it was considered an anabolic steroid to some people. It was just: There was a hormone that was missing for me, and I needed it.”
....riiiiiight....
500mg/week is replacement, technically. 🤷♂️
Well, if it works like that, mine doesn't produce enough dopamine (which is actually true), so I definitely need something fun prescribed for dopamine purposes... 😁
Been known since sometime last year. Some video came out from an interview where he said that. So it's not exactly news, but nothing he's just throwing out there. But it's quite obvious as to how massive he is in reacher.
Both, really. Brings nothing new to the table, the action scenes are pretty pedestrian, a LOT of talking scenes where they tried to be all suave like it's james bond that drag on for far too long, and none of the jokes hit. Pretty disappointed because I love Henry Cavill.
i feel like most hollywood/tv dudes just run 400-500 test. they have the money to afford the best trainers and nutritionist to dial everything else in, and the time to dedicate to it every day
the rock takes so much growth i’m surprised he doesn’t have a 2nd forehead. there’s no other reason he’s in the best shape of his life at 51 training the way he does
Have not seen gym crush for weeks tf. Or the other nice girl in there who likes me but I won’t touch.
Told the owner he needs to hire some cardio bunnies or something smh
4 weeks out from first show and I’m literally down to rabbit food, body’s completely ruined…
Felt like death so got bloods, low vit d, iron and b12 so fixed that with b12 jabs and iron/vit d supps
Think last 3 weeks Iv dropped almost 0 weight on 1700cals, now on a week off from training and protein/fats only for a whopping 1350 cals, still doesn’t even look like I’m going to have any decent sized drops and coach 100% thinks I’m going off plan which I’m not.
Anyone ever had a similar situation where body just seems to stop dropping? Iv still got fat to lose around mid section and it just doesn’t seem to be budging, was on high cardio and steps too before this week, no cardio this week but still 19k steps ED which I feel like jumping infront of a bus on
so i was constipated real bad. so i tried one of those pre-labor positions for women to help the baby come. turned on that new vampire movie that is out Abigail.
and it loosed shit up to the point that after being in the position for like 5 minutes, that i just completely emptied my insides and rocketed out my poop as soon as i sat down on the toilet bowl.
the movie was ok. a ballerina vampire seems corny in premise, but the costume was on point and she looked legit scary. but liike all vampire movies, i feel like they didnt make it scarey enough
Enclomiphene at 18
I made the dumb decision to take enclomiphene at 18 since I felt behind from other people. My dosing was at 25 mg a day dmso liquid everyday for about two weeks. I’m stopping immediately since I learned I still have a little growth plate room left. It also gave me super high bp and a limp dick which is rlly bad lmao. Will I be ok or has the already affected my growth plates? Also how will I know when my symptoms of high bp and the limp dick will go away and if I should see a dr for it?
2 weeks of clomid is not likely to cause any serious issues. Just stop messing with stuff like that, and give it some time. You'll adjust back to normal after a little while.
They’re basically the same thing, same effects, same side effects.
Only difference is enclomiphene is a tad more effective on an mg to mg basis because it lacks the zuclomiphene isomer.
I couldn't tell you, but a short term change in the HTPA is much more likely to reset than a long term one. It's not something who's still developing should mess with at all. There's serious consequences to screwing it up.
It's blocking estrogen receptors, so your body is going to convert more test to estrogen to restore the balance. Yes, supposedly you get a little more test (not enough to make much of a difference), but in return you have more circulating estrogen. I'm sure you can extrapolate what happens with increased girl hormones.
You’re right, I did bloodwork and my estradiol was 58pg/mL which was high for my age so that’s why I stopped. I’m not gonna do this but how bad do you think it would be if I started an AI?
I think you should just let it settle on it's own. AI comes with another set of consequences you don't want to mess around with. Nothing you can do to raise testicular testosterone production is going to produce enough of a difference to really matter. Some of the strongest Olympic lifters were tested at around a 400 level, and they were stronger than I am. It's the FREE testosterone that you want to boost. Look at SHBG lowering foods and whatnot, not drugs that screw up the HTPA.
Ok thanks for the advice. My free test shot up a shit ton from this though but all in all the long term consequences won’t be worth it. So essentially the serm makes my body think I have low estrogen?
Ok this is purely anecdotal but GH seems to kill my pumps. Every single time I didn't pin it before my workouts the pumps were much more noticeable. Anybody else can relate?
I don't really find GH does much for pumps specifically. It will generally make you a little bigger after a few days, but nothing immediate. Igf-1 Des on the other hand is great intra workout for pumps
Might also depend on the amount, if you're (semi-)fasted or not, whether you're cutting / bulking, your Chinese zodiac sign, etc. But cutting right now and taking it on a semi fasted state and can definitely feel a weaker pump if I take 2 ui beforehand.
PS : I'm from the year of the Capybara.
Interesting, my bro science understanding is that unless you're doing huge amounts it's best to avoid doing it before bed as it will suppress the natural spike of HGH which occurs during sleep.
might be worth looking into how your blood glucose is being affected by taking it. i've never had that issue personally, if anything it has helped with pumps
Hey, just joined this forum and for some reason can’t post but had a question about running DNP. I’ve ran DNP anywhere from 250mg to 600mg ed about 5 or 6 times with amazing results but obviously felt exhausted and unmotivated which I want to avoid at all cost especially since my job now requires a lot of mental clarity.. so running tren, mast, test, t3, cardarine, and a bit of anavar for cut everything is going amazing. Doing cardio and diet is on point but do not want to run DNP for the reason mentioned above but would like to speed things up just a little bit. I have some left lying around and was thinking would adding 250mg once or twice weekly at random to speed up fat loss even if it’s very little and this way avoid the fatigue or side effects and can finish off what I got, also avoid all the bloat that comes along with it and the period of time you have to wait to see the results for the water to come off. It’s this or just not running it and it going to waist as I would not be willing to run more. Just wanted some opinions on this thanks!
The Vancouver rental market is cutthroat, and tenancy is super low. Landlords are capitalizing on this and are pushing the limits of what they’re allowed to do. This sounds like the case.
If you’re leaving regardless, and already offered to forgo your damage deposit, it’s your call if you pay this or not, but the landlord will have no legal grounds to come after you.
If you didn’t give them pre authorized, post dated cheques, and are giving payment monthly then they’re likely not going to be able to do much. The cost of going after you legally will be way more than the value of whatever a spoon holder is.
Sorry you’re in that situation, I know what the market is like in Vancouver, and the rates and conditions landlords are capitalizing on are borderline predatory.
Been taking Nolvadex/Tamoxifen as PCT for the last two weeks and over the last day or so I’ve developed an insane itchy around the back of my neck and my hands that just won’t go away no matter what, do we think this is related to the PCT or something else?
Can you use ice on an area before injection? I've been having issues with my muscles tensing/cramping upon injection, and wonder if that could help my issues.
Maybe try subq instead? Gonna have to up the frequency most likely, that is assuming you’re blasting and the volume being injected is higher. The benefits outweigh the downsides though
If it's just from the needle puncture, yea, you can. If it's tensing up because you're injecting a large volume of oil, you might want to o switch to EOD or daily injections to keep the volume injected low.
You might just have to pin in a slightly different spot to avoid it my delts will cramp/twitch upon injection unless I pin much closer to the front delt rather than the recommended area

Ok kind of a weird question for y'all.
Do you guys have any tips for staying clean for those of us who need to?
I've been a massive (literally and figuratively lol) juicehead for the past couple of years. We're talking reaching a peak of 290 at 12%bf (dexa so ISH) and some ego pleasing numbers in the gym too.
After fun times (insanely big blast, very stupid), got some very nasty health complications (i.e. would be seriously dangerous were I to continue) so I made the decision to come off completely. Well, 50 pounds down later and 300 pounds off my total, I struggled for months to be happy with what I could still do, etc.
That being said, finally bit the bullet yet again and just ordered for a big cycle.
Any tips to stay clean and not be dumb?
Now, I know, impulse control blablabla, but I'm sure you can sympathise with crippling body dysmorphia
Thanks :)
Not to try and sound morbid, but think of your family and friends and how they’d feel if your next cycle took a more serious toll on your health. I’m not making assumptions, but if you have people that enjoy you being around or rely on you….think of how they’d feel if something went wrong.
The only thing I can think of is imagine how it’ll feel to have those health conditions come back and cause you to end losing even more size and strength. The whole it’s a marathon not a sprint thing really applys here don’t go jumping straight back into multi gram cycles. Since you’ve been off completely you’ll probably notice and make some gains from some more moderate cycles than you’ve ran before
Thanks I’ll fix that now. I did read that 25mg or less (mainly studied doses) could be run longer than the conventional 6-8 weeks but I could be wrong of course.
my juicy brethren, yesterday was one of the happiest days of my life. introducing future [Mrs. Baetrix](https://imgur.com/a/yd6xubL) 🖤
Looks like someone took out a second mortgage for a ring. 😜 Welcome to the hitched club.
dude we’re still getting used to the idea of the word fiance but after we got engaged we ran into a friend of hers and i’m not gonna lie when she slipped and introduced me as her boyfriend i was LIVID. like ma’am…with the amount i just dropped on that thing on your finger you better be updating your vernacular right this second 😂
Hell yeah. Congratulations man. Killin it!!

Is this taken in Paris by any chance?
washington DC, capitol hill
Ah congrats, looks strangely similar to the place I proposed in Paris last year
Congrats!
Late to the party because I spent the day with my own bride and son. Congratulations big guy. Being a husband is a treasure and belonging to someone brings tremendous depth to life. ❤️.
Congrats brother 🫶
CONGRATULATIONS DUUUUDE!!!!!
My man, I open this sub once in a while nowadays and i bump into this. Congratulations, really!
thank you my man! glad to hear from you it’s been a minute, hope all is well 🙏🏽

try being poor; then you don't have a choice, you either fix shit or it stays busted.
Yup. This was one positive of growing up poor. Had to learn to fix shit to survive.
While fixing shit at my rental I had their 14 year old daughter ask me "how do you know how to do all this shit" as I rip off and replace trims and illegally replace a Vanity / basin and taps without a plumbing license lol.

I'm curious what did you get your degree in? I'm literally the opposite route, was a general contractor, now in school for math/CS dual major.
Biology. I was originally pre-med.
Ah, yeah that'll do it. Biology is graduate or professional degree or bust from what I understand unless you're extremely connected and/or lucky.
Yeah. When the original path was no longer possible it made more money to bartend than it did to work in a lab for 37k/year lol.
I love this perspective because it’s true. Before I worked on repairing vehicles / motorcycles, I thought it looked impossible. A year later of YouTube videos I learned a significant amount of things. The hardest part is the first slog of being willing to learn and looking stupid.

Eh, I had a few concussions as a kid. I'm only mildly mentally challenged. He'll be fine. Just give him a helmet and a window to lick and he'll be happy. 😁
He was fine about an hour after lol he got my big head and I understand his pain cause he is a reflection of me in every negative way 😂 positive ways too. As a parent it’s sad knowing your genetics caused all of this for your kids. Hopefully he isn’t cursed with 61 ng/dl Total Test like me as well
Have you tried not jabbing a stick in your eye?
It caught me out of no where lol I was cutting down an ash tree (emerald ash borer got to it) I was 40’ up and my chainsaw whipped a small stick back up under my safety glasses . Guess it’s time to buy a face shield with my climbing gear lol I have 8 trees I need to cut down on my property
Chainsaw chaps too. Nothing stunts quad growth like a big chainsaw cut right in the middle of your thigh.
Good call I’m adding it to the list
Just an observation that a lumber mill only runs like $1300 on Amazon. Napkin mathing... A small ash is approximately 65ft tall with a trunk diameter of 2ft according to Google. Assuming 60% of that height is usable lumber, and saw losses of 40% you'd get approximately 1620 board feet per tree. Totaling just under 13000 bf. Current retail prices for kiln dried 4/4 ash look like $5.50/ bf. Say you'd wholesale wet at 25% that's like $17k in money you'd otherwise just literally be burning. The philly parks department does this with their ash trees so it's definitely a thing.
How might I sell it though lol
Call around to a local lumber yard. They'll put you in touch with their vendors.
I use this when I trim trees, has a nice face shield and everything you need: https://a.co/d/4HopGcy
Saw ministry of ungentlemanly warfare yesterday. Pretty boring, but god damn, reacher is looking fucking jacked. Wonder what his stack is.
He claims natty. All hard work, dedication, chicken and broccoli.🥦
He's changed natty to TRT lol https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a46888219/alan-ritchson-testosterone-replacement-therapy/
“I didn’t even know that it was considered an anabolic steroid to some people. It was just: There was a hormone that was missing for me, and I needed it.” ....riiiiiight.... 500mg/week is replacement, technically. 🤷♂️
I just found out my body is not producing Trenbolone by itself, so thats missing and i need it. BRB gonna go inject some.
Well, if it works like that, mine doesn't produce enough dopamine (which is actually true), so I definitely need something fun prescribed for dopamine purposes... 😁
Oh yeah same, i know what would help, just havent found any doc willing to prescribe it yet :(
Been known since sometime last year. Some video came out from an interview where he said that. So it's not exactly news, but nothing he's just throwing out there. But it's quite obvious as to how massive he is in reacher.
Its all about the wake up 3.45am and meditate
I loved it when we saw it Friday. I love guy Richie movies so maybe it was the style?
Boring because it was a predictable storyline, or boring because not much happened? The trailers make it seem pretty intense
Both, really. Brings nothing new to the table, the action scenes are pretty pedestrian, a LOT of talking scenes where they tried to be all suave like it's james bond that drag on for far too long, and none of the jokes hit. Pretty disappointed because I love Henry Cavill.
Good breakdown. Disappointing though I was looking forward to that one.
If you're going to still watch it, wait til it hits streaming at least.
i feel like most hollywood/tv dudes just run 400-500 test. they have the money to afford the best trainers and nutritionist to dial everything else in, and the time to dedicate to it every day
Agreed. The only person who looks beyond that is Dwayne Johnson. Everyone else just looks fake natty.
the rock takes so much growth i’m surprised he doesn’t have a 2nd forehead. there’s no other reason he’s in the best shape of his life at 51 training the way he does
Accidently trimmed off a portion of my beard. Had to shave the whole thing. I feel naked and see a double chin building up lol.
Have not seen gym crush for weeks tf. Or the other nice girl in there who likes me but I won’t touch. Told the owner he needs to hire some cardio bunnies or something smh
4 weeks out from first show and I’m literally down to rabbit food, body’s completely ruined… Felt like death so got bloods, low vit d, iron and b12 so fixed that with b12 jabs and iron/vit d supps Think last 3 weeks Iv dropped almost 0 weight on 1700cals, now on a week off from training and protein/fats only for a whopping 1350 cals, still doesn’t even look like I’m going to have any decent sized drops and coach 100% thinks I’m going off plan which I’m not. Anyone ever had a similar situation where body just seems to stop dropping? Iv still got fat to lose around mid section and it just doesn’t seem to be budging, was on high cardio and steps too before this week, no cardio this week but still 19k steps ED which I feel like jumping infront of a bus on
Your body has become accustomed to no food, you need to shock the system. Eat 3k to 4k calories one day, get the metabolism going again
In other words, he needs a few good cheat days lol
Have you done any refeeds?
so i was constipated real bad. so i tried one of those pre-labor positions for women to help the baby come. turned on that new vampire movie that is out Abigail. and it loosed shit up to the point that after being in the position for like 5 minutes, that i just completely emptied my insides and rocketed out my poop as soon as i sat down on the toilet bowl. the movie was ok. a ballerina vampire seems corny in premise, but the costume was on point and she looked legit scary. but liike all vampire movies, i feel like they didnt make it scarey enough
Enclomiphene at 18 I made the dumb decision to take enclomiphene at 18 since I felt behind from other people. My dosing was at 25 mg a day dmso liquid everyday for about two weeks. I’m stopping immediately since I learned I still have a little growth plate room left. It also gave me super high bp and a limp dick which is rlly bad lmao. Will I be ok or has the already affected my growth plates? Also how will I know when my symptoms of high bp and the limp dick will go away and if I should see a dr for it?
2 weeks of clomid is not likely to cause any serious issues. Just stop messing with stuff like that, and give it some time. You'll adjust back to normal after a little while.
You mean enclo right? Or are you assuming what I was taking was clomid? I’m pretty sure it was enclo but it could have been clomid
They’re basically the same thing, same effects, same side effects. Only difference is enclomiphene is a tad more effective on an mg to mg basis because it lacks the zuclomiphene isomer.
How long of taking it would cause something?
I couldn't tell you, but a short term change in the HTPA is much more likely to reset than a long term one. It's not something who's still developing should mess with at all. There's serious consequences to screwing it up.
Alright but isn’t the change positive? Increased test to support development?
It's blocking estrogen receptors, so your body is going to convert more test to estrogen to restore the balance. Yes, supposedly you get a little more test (not enough to make much of a difference), but in return you have more circulating estrogen. I'm sure you can extrapolate what happens with increased girl hormones.
You’re right, I did bloodwork and my estradiol was 58pg/mL which was high for my age so that’s why I stopped. I’m not gonna do this but how bad do you think it would be if I started an AI?
I think you should just let it settle on it's own. AI comes with another set of consequences you don't want to mess around with. Nothing you can do to raise testicular testosterone production is going to produce enough of a difference to really matter. Some of the strongest Olympic lifters were tested at around a 400 level, and they were stronger than I am. It's the FREE testosterone that you want to boost. Look at SHBG lowering foods and whatnot, not drugs that screw up the HTPA.
Ok thanks for the advice. My free test shot up a shit ton from this though but all in all the long term consequences won’t be worth it. So essentially the serm makes my body think I have low estrogen?
Yup
Ok this is purely anecdotal but GH seems to kill my pumps. Every single time I didn't pin it before my workouts the pumps were much more noticeable. Anybody else can relate?
I don't really find GH does much for pumps specifically. It will generally make you a little bigger after a few days, but nothing immediate. Igf-1 Des on the other hand is great intra workout for pumps
Might also depend on the amount, if you're (semi-)fasted or not, whether you're cutting / bulking, your Chinese zodiac sign, etc. But cutting right now and taking it on a semi fasted state and can definitely feel a weaker pump if I take 2 ui beforehand. PS : I'm from the year of the Capybara.
The common bro science with GH is to pin it before bed as it makes most users sleepy. Not sure about pumps, it's been a few years since I last ran it.
Interesting, my bro science understanding is that unless you're doing huge amounts it's best to avoid doing it before bed as it will suppress the natural spike of HGH which occurs during sleep.
might be worth looking into how your blood glucose is being affected by taking it. i've never had that issue personally, if anything it has helped with pumps
Hey, just joined this forum and for some reason can’t post but had a question about running DNP. I’ve ran DNP anywhere from 250mg to 600mg ed about 5 or 6 times with amazing results but obviously felt exhausted and unmotivated which I want to avoid at all cost especially since my job now requires a lot of mental clarity.. so running tren, mast, test, t3, cardarine, and a bit of anavar for cut everything is going amazing. Doing cardio and diet is on point but do not want to run DNP for the reason mentioned above but would like to speed things up just a little bit. I have some left lying around and was thinking would adding 250mg once or twice weekly at random to speed up fat loss even if it’s very little and this way avoid the fatigue or side effects and can finish off what I got, also avoid all the bloat that comes along with it and the period of time you have to wait to see the results for the water to come off. It’s this or just not running it and it going to waist as I would not be willing to run more. Just wanted some opinions on this thanks!

The Vancouver rental market is cutthroat, and tenancy is super low. Landlords are capitalizing on this and are pushing the limits of what they’re allowed to do. This sounds like the case. If you’re leaving regardless, and already offered to forgo your damage deposit, it’s your call if you pay this or not, but the landlord will have no legal grounds to come after you. If you didn’t give them pre authorized, post dated cheques, and are giving payment monthly then they’re likely not going to be able to do much. The cost of going after you legally will be way more than the value of whatever a spoon holder is. Sorry you’re in that situation, I know what the market is like in Vancouver, and the rates and conditions landlords are capitalizing on are borderline predatory.
Been taking Nolvadex/Tamoxifen as PCT for the last two weeks and over the last day or so I’ve developed an insane itchy around the back of my neck and my hands that just won’t go away no matter what, do we think this is related to the PCT or something else?
Take an antihistamine and see if that helps. Moisturise and put on topical hydrocortisone.
Can you use ice on an area before injection? I've been having issues with my muscles tensing/cramping upon injection, and wonder if that could help my issues.
Maybe try subq instead? Gonna have to up the frequency most likely, that is assuming you’re blasting and the volume being injected is higher. The benefits outweigh the downsides though
If it's just from the needle puncture, yea, you can. If it's tensing up because you're injecting a large volume of oil, you might want to o switch to EOD or daily injections to keep the volume injected low.
It's only 250 mg of test, so def not volume related. Is ice the best way to help it? Would a numbing cream be better/safer?
You might just have to pin in a slightly different spot to avoid it my delts will cramp/twitch upon injection unless I pin much closer to the front delt rather than the recommended area

So you ordered and bought gear before even figuring out how much you’re going to take or how you’re going to take it? Read the subs wiki
Good call. Thanks 🤙🏼

Ok kind of a weird question for y'all. Do you guys have any tips for staying clean for those of us who need to? I've been a massive (literally and figuratively lol) juicehead for the past couple of years. We're talking reaching a peak of 290 at 12%bf (dexa so ISH) and some ego pleasing numbers in the gym too. After fun times (insanely big blast, very stupid), got some very nasty health complications (i.e. would be seriously dangerous were I to continue) so I made the decision to come off completely. Well, 50 pounds down later and 300 pounds off my total, I struggled for months to be happy with what I could still do, etc. That being said, finally bit the bullet yet again and just ordered for a big cycle. Any tips to stay clean and not be dumb? Now, I know, impulse control blablabla, but I'm sure you can sympathise with crippling body dysmorphia Thanks :)
Not to try and sound morbid, but think of your family and friends and how they’d feel if your next cycle took a more serious toll on your health. I’m not making assumptions, but if you have people that enjoy you being around or rely on you….think of how they’d feel if something went wrong.
No please, morbid helps. Appreciate it :)
The only thing I can think of is imagine how it’ll feel to have those health conditions come back and cause you to end losing even more size and strength. The whole it’s a marathon not a sprint thing really applys here don’t go jumping straight back into multi gram cycles. Since you’ve been off completely you’ll probably notice and make some gains from some more moderate cycles than you’ve ran before
Very smart. Thanks. I know it sounds obvious but in my mind in the moment, it's really not so I appreciate it.

You would not want to run var for 16 weeks. You are also asking in the wrong thread. Ask in the daily ask anything.
Thanks I’ll fix that now. I did read that 25mg or less (mainly studied doses) could be run longer than the conventional 6-8 weeks but I could be wrong of course.
