I transitioned from off-season into a cutting phase and dialed down my carbohydrate intake accordingly, which prompted me to recalibrate my exogenous insulin protocol. Currently running the following:

Training Days: 640g total carbohydrates, 16 IU Lantus

Pre-workout: 6 IU rapid-acting (120g carbs)

Post-workout: 7 IU rapid-acting (140g carbs)…

Thinking of keeping L-Carn to just quad/glute, alternating every 4 days at 2.5mL. Adding 2 fresh sites to my gear rotation so nothing overlaps. Not bumping the L-Carn dose to 1g. Also gonna look into getting a different (higher conc) L-Carn. Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I recently started using injectable L-Carnitine before fasted cardio. I do fasted cardio every day, so I’m currently planning to use it everyday.

I started with 500 mg before fasted cardio, but the concentration of my L-Carnitine is 1 g / 5 mL, so 500 mg = 2.5 mL.

I also pin my gear daily in the morning. Right now, I’m rotating between…

what are the ranges on your labs?

for FT3 1.16-4.60 ng/L

for FT4 0.7-1.48 ng/dL

for TSH 0.35-4.94 mIU/L[/quote]

With these labs, should I start with 25 mcg T3 + 100 mcg T4 and run it year round ?

Thanks Peter. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but with EQ would you base the dose on avoiding an E2 crash, or would you just directly run a 2:1 test to EQ ratio ?

Do you mean 2 readings total, one on the right and one on the left, or 2 readings on each arm?

Seems way to high for me, I dont know much about this guy apart from he is a huge potassium fan but I am yet to notice much of any difference personally when I have driven my potassium intake up to see[/quote]

I also saw this post where he recommends potassium:sodium ratios depending on the phase:

Off-season (natural): 1.5:1 to 2.5:1

Thyroid labs came back:

TSH 2.0 mIU/L

FT3 2.6 ng/L

FT4 1.0 ng/dL

In an enhanced bodybuilding context, would you guys add T3/T4 here, or leave it alone? If you would add something, what would add ?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming I’m deep into the off-season and not extremely lean, would a 12.7 mm needle be enough to reach proper IM depth in the quad, or would 32 mm be the more reliable option?

I know it depends on body fat, site, and how much tissue is over the muscle, but I’m curious what you guys generally prefer for quads in an off-season condition.

I currently only check my BP once per day, first thing in the morning after waking up. Would you guys recommend adding another reading later in the day as well ?

Or is morning fasted/resting BP enough as long as I’m consistent with the timing?

For those of you who’ve run EQ during a diet/cutting phase, how did you find it in terms of look, and overall performance? How would you compare it to DHTs in a cutting phase? Do you feel test,eq and tren can give a comparable dry/hard look or do test with DHTs still have a clear edge cosmetically? As a student, I’m trying to manage my…

Also, should MOTS-c and SLU-PP-332 be injected IM or subq?

And timing wise, when would be to take them ? before fasted cardio in the morning, pre-workout, later in the day, or does timing not matter much?

Thanks a lot guys

I did upload the screenshot, but it looks like it’s not showing on your end.The chart I’m referring to is from Adam Omachy and it’s based on bodyweight/kg dosing.

I bought extra reta while it was on sale. I already reconstituted one vial and keep it in the fridge. For the unreconstituted lyophilized powder vials, should I store them in the freezer/deep freezer ?

I don’t want to overcomplicate it, but I saw this chart from Adam Omachy. Can I use this ?

Hi guys,

As a 19 year old bodybuilder, should I train obliques and forearms ?

Do you guys train forearm directly, or do you just rely on indirect work from other exercises?

For obliques, is doing only ab crunches enough ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, I’m about to start my diet phase, and I’m considering adding MOTS-c and SLU-PP-332. What would be a good starting dose for each, and what would you gradually work up to? Also, I pin 500 mg L-carnitine before fasted cardio in the morning. How would you time MOTS-c and SLU-PP-332 around this? Should they be taken before fasted cardio,…

I’m planning my first proper run with Clenbuterol and Yohimbine during a cut. I’ve never used either before, so my main question is what would be a good starting dose for each, and how should I titrate them based on tolerance? Also, would you recommend taking both before fasted cardio ?

thanks all

Cheers Kuba, what about the nandrolone should I remove it when I start lowering test?

I’m coming out of an off-season phase and moving into a health phase, and I’m trying to manage the transition without nuking my E2. Current setup is 875 test / 245 EQ / 280 NPP, with E2 around 40 pg/mL. The health phase plan is basically test-only around 300 mg/week, but I’m unsure how to actually structure the transition because of the EQ…

For a 110 kg enhanced bodybuilder, what would you guys consider an appropriate daily potassium intake?

I was using a pre-filled GH pen before, but I’ve now switched to vials.

The syringe in the photo is an orange-capped 1 ml insulin syringe, 0.30 × 8 mm, with a fixed/non-removable needle. Is this suitable for IM use, or is 8 mm too short and basically subQ-only?

For IM, what gauge/length would you recommend instead?

If you were eating 5 meals per day, running 6 IU GH, and using both Lantus + rapid insulin, how would you split total daily carbs across those 5 meals on a training day?

I’m not fully sure how much nandrolone actually aromatizes in practice, but I was wondering would increasing NPP to create a bit more estrogenic support make sense to be able to run EQ higher without crashing E2 too hard?

I actually like EQ in theory it’s affordable, and I don’t need to run anywhere near as much of it as primo just to keep E2 under control. But at the same time, I’m wondering if EQ simply might not be the best compound for me individually.

<strong data-start=”12″ data-end=”220″>I can’t get E1 tested at my hospital, so I can’t really make an accurate call on my E1 levels. But when my E2 gets too low, I do notice joint discomfort and brain fog.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently pinning 100 Test, 25 EQ, and 30 NPP daily. Total weekly doses are around 700 Test, 175 EQ, and 210 NPP.

I know the EQ dose is very low, but I crashed my E2 at a 2:1 Test ratio, and also crashed it at 3:1. Right now I’m at around a 4:1 ratio, and my E2 is sitting at around 50 ng/L.

Recently I’ve been hearing the term “electrolyte balance” a lot on social media, but honestly I don’t know much about it. The large majority of my carbs come from potatoes, so I assume my potassium intake is already fairly high. I also add a set amount of salt to each meal, use hydration/electrolyte products, and take magnesium in…

I’m currently pinning NPP every day , and I haven’t experienced any side effects so far. Since Deca has a longer half-life and should provide more stable blood levels, and because it would also be cheaper than NPP, would it be okay to use Deca instead of NPP (at the doses I’ve already tried) in my next cycle ?

Should I set the 366g of total protein based on my high day then?

I’m aiming for around 366g total protein per day, which is about 1.5g per lb of my bodyweight. On high days, I get some extra protein from carb sources like rice, oats, potatoes, etc. On low days, I eat less of those foods, so my total protein ends up lower. Should I add more animal protein on low days to keep total protein the same, or is it…

8 iu humalog with pre meal(160 g carbs)

11 iu humalog with post meal (220 g carbs)

What’s generally recommended for GH and insulin during a cruise phase, and what would you personally do if you were in my position?

Right now I’m running:
– High days: ~900g carbs, 20 IU Lantus + 19 IU Humalog
– Low days: ~450g carbs, 10 IU Lantus
– 4 IU GH daily

I’ll also be going into a small deficit during the cruise.

Appreciate any advice.

Hello crew
Do you count protein coming from non-protein (like oats, rice, etc.) in your total protein intake?

For IM shots, what needle length are you guys running for lats, quads, glutes, and side delts?

Got it so you’d keep it fixed daily.

Would there be any downside to adjusting it between high and low days based on carb intake, or is keeping Lantus stable generally the better approach?

Trying to understand if there’s any real benefit to scaling it or if consistency is the way to go.

Thanks for reply Kuba

Hey guys, hope all is well.

Currently structuring my diet with high/low days roughly ~800g carbs on high days and ~400g on low days. Looking into introducing Lantus as a basal layer to improve nutrient partitioning and overall glucose handling. Was thinking of starting somewhere around 20 IU on high days and 10 IU on low days, adjusted based…

Hello everyone, I currently dose my pre workout fast acting insulin based on my pre workout carbs (1 IU per 20 g). Right now I’m eating ~140 g carbs on my pre meal and taking 7 IU. I also sip carbs during session. Should those be included in the initial dose, or do you guys only count pre-workout carbs ?
