Yeah no issues domestic US. You can also bring preloaded pins in the future IF they’re in your checked bag

Dr. Mike Israetel has good general volume reccomendations-google ‘Renaissance periodization [insert each muscle group]’. Of course this is individual but the minimum volume/effective volume and ranges given are good general guidelines to assess how you might want to divide volume across each session for each muscle

Thanks as always Dr. Dean. This is vital

Hack squats. Banded leg press, banded single leg leg press. Most importantly, ensure your execution and intensity are optimal. Hack squats and esp leg press- full range, knees to shoulders if structure allows, slow eccentric. I like a low and wide stance on leg press. Finally, many neglect the adductors. Ensure you’re targeting them. I like to the adductor and abductor machines at the end of leg sessions, just as Jordan does

I can’t read all of this but don’t focus on your perception of yourself as an ‘ectomorph’. Many of us have gotten ‘big’ as individuals who had little business doing so. Simply eat in a surplus, train progressively and ensure your execution/intensity/exercise selection/volume is appropriate, prioritize recovery. If you’re not gaining you’re likely not eating in a surplus

[aellonfol]

I would first confirm by taking measurements. If proportions still significantly off, simply allocate more volume to upper body, scale back lower volume to maintenance.

There may be a select few who can mentally do just one or two cycles, but they’re unicorns to me haha. As for first cycle, I would urge you to get bloodwork, see where your natural levels are, then go from there. See Deans post on first cycle thoughts. 200mg May be a highly supraphysiological dose for you and thus a better choice for first cycle.

Do NOT listen to Kamo, use common sense, throwing several exogenous compounds for a first timer is ludicrous. You’ll see this confirmed by every major figure in this community.

Agree with Stephen on kickstarting. As for oral choices, I would say Anadrol of those 3. Sdrol is very taxing on the organs and gives me lethargy, also interferes with digestion. I don’t like dbol myself because I find estrogen hard to manage with it. Tbol a good shout if it’s not faked

If you could clean that up a bit/give us a less wordy version I’ll take another look. Sorry mate don’t have the time to read all that

[aellonfol]

I keep it simple- 200mg caffeine, 8g L-citrulline. Also ensure meals are properly salted. Interested to see the JP line like dean says

[aellonfol]

Yes this is ok. You’ll want to draw extra air into your syringes as wiggle room so you don’t lose oil, can also keep them upright to ensure there’s no leakage

[aellonfol]

Your rationale is correct. I think you can milk test only for several cycles, e.g. 300mg, then 400, 500, 600. Some studies show strong diminishing returns beyond 600 mg test/week so by say your 5th cycle you could then complement test with a second, low dose compound. Get the most from the least. Also refer to Dr. Dean’s recent insta posts and podcast on muscle mentors.

[aellonfol]

Nothing on top of test. 250-300mg test e or c, AI if needed due to bloodwork. Get the most out of the least and keep it simple. You’ve never taken exogenous hormones before, you’ll see superb results provided training and nutrition are on point and set yourself up for more margin/ceiling with drugs long term.

[aellonfol]

Well Suited for both. Possibly even better for naturals in terms of results relative to your respective population (natural vs assisted).

[aellonfol]

Not Christoph but yes. You’ll want to pin as deeply as possible with slin pins since they’re only 1/2”. Backloading means loading another syringe like a standard 3mL, then remove plunger out of slin pin, load from back of slin pin with other syringe, reattach, pin with slin pin (to save you a few googles)
