Testos.bind.globulin I’m assuming is SHBG. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Watch my Feb Q&A video – Tren elevates E2 as its binds in the assay.

Of course there is a chance the reading is far from accurate due to the tren, but I was wondering the following:

My E2 values are now sky-high despite taking the same amount of test e and arimidex which would normally put me in a normal range (based on previous tests). Besides the innaccuary of the test, is it still possible throwing tren in has indeed increased my estrogen levels substantially?

IF that’s the case, would you recommend me to up my arimidex dosage (1mg eod now) to play it safe in terms of gyno? I’m also taking tamox at 10mg ed.

Yes indeed, both are synonyms. I just don’t understand how SHBG went from 11.6 on a test-cycle to 3.5 on a test + tren cycle?

Trying to understand what SHBG exactly is and does… Dr Dean, In which sense you mean it’s not “necessarily a bad thing?”

Online I read “If your results show your SHBG levels are too low, it may mean the protein is not attaching itself to enough testosterone. This allows more unattached testosterone to be available in your system. It may cause too much testosterone to go to your body’s tissues.”

So can I say a lower SHBG level means more testosterone is available for muscle growth? Or is it just the opposite (so a negative thing) since “the protein is not attaching itself to enough testosterone?”

How you mean cruising? Your test levels are way over the natural limit as you can see, in other words, you’re not cruising… You’re just on a test-only cycle.

Hey m8,

if you got on well with that then Its fine, ive used oranges and blues in the past. Insulin pins are great as they leave next to no scar tissue. Just takes a while to load them up if you have the all in ones. I’ve used Exchange supplies for a while, should ship to Ireland.

I always used the blue ones up until now to pin my quads (side delts and quads are only place I pin). What exactly is the difference with an orange needle?

I would prefer spreading out my carb intake over all my meals instead of cramming it, but as always, personal preference I guess.

Pinning two times a week for the long ester version I mean. With acetate preferably ed or at least eod.

I have been taking 350mg test e and 250 tren e for 9 weeks now and did bloods 3 days ago. Not a single problem. Not a single thing has really changed even (which I agree won’t be the case for the majority of people).

Run the test and tren for 6-8 weeks. Then do bloods and evaluate. All fine: keep going if that’s what you want.

yes two times a week pinning for both.

Pct you’ll need to take very seriously since it’s the harshed compound there is.

I can chime in on tihs!
It helped me big time when finishing law school. Used it for 4 or 5 exam periods. I used 200mg (one pill) of both modaler and modvigil (modvigil is a generic, worked the same) at around 10-11 am and was studying till like midnigh. Used it in like 4 week long stints. ‘
Effects: My mind was not getting tired as easily, was able to concentrate for like 12 hours straight.It doesn’t stop you from procrastinating or something like that, but when you want to focus you will. You won’t be stimmed out liek when you take too much caffeine, it’s more feeling like when you’ve just started studying and are fresh for the first 30 minutes but those 30 minutes just don’t end. I was using caffeine in conjunction with it, it seemed like it worked better.
It also had some negative sides. Gave me the shits. Big timme. Which was not something i’d be upset about cause I was sitting at home all day, but you might want to consider that. For some it supposedly supresses appetite, for me it didn’t. If something my stomach felt empty because of the constant shitting. After a month of almost constant use I felt kinda worn out (but taht could be due to the studying and not the moda itself) and after discontinuing my use I felt stupid for 3 or 4 days.
It works best if taken like 3 days a week IMO, because you’re not that used to it and will be more productive, but the effects are good enough to be taken every day when studying for weeks on end.
Would recommend.

Currently taking modafinil too because of exams. Good experience with it so far (only taking 100mg, combined with some caffeine). I was wondering; did you feel like you’ve slowly built up a tolerance to it? Or did the focus effects you got from stay as strong?

A harsh oral for a first cycle, without a test base, followed by a poor pct. Horrible idea and a waste of time IMO.

You’re going to do test anyways as you say, so why not do it the right way from the beginning? I don’t get it…

Get yourself some test e and run that for around 12 weeks. Pct in the correct way, recover completely and then see what’s next.

with foods a general rule of thumb…

the finer / more ground the product is….means a chunk of the breakdown process has already occurred BEFORE eating, so the body has LESS work to do.

potentially….less satiety…quicker digestion and absorption

thanks Corinne, makes sense. Was just wondering how much of a difference it would make and if I can still consider it a “slow-digesting carb”. Planning on having all my oatmeal-meals like this now since I’m in a gaining phase anyways (and love the texture, def give it a try 😉 )

had exactly the same yesterday in side delt holy! luckily nothing to wory about as the boys say

What’s you guys experience with getting some cannabis in your system before going to the gym? Of course, I’m not talking about being high all the way lol. Just wondering if there are any “benefits” to it and if it would work or not!

I certainly utilise cruise periods to do mini cuts yes

Wouldn’t it be a bad idea to both drop hormones AND calories at the same time, when we want to maintain the muscle we gained with higher levels of hormones? Don’t you think it’s a better idea to mini-cut at the end of a (bulking) cycle, when hormones are still elevated?

I find smoked salmon to be awesome in the morning. High fat, high protein. Think about fattier meats too… so many options. Or just go for a lean protein source and combine it with a true fat source such as nuts/ a nut spread

I use 0.5 arimadex 3 times a week during cycle and can increase to every other day if needed. This drops to twice a week during cruise phase. This has helped keep any issues away for me

on how many grams of test is this man? I’m using 1mg adex eod and running 350mg test e/ week. Also running tren e at 250mg/ week. Was wondering if this is too high or not. Blood test wouldn’t make me wiser, since it “reads” tren as estrogen, so the outcome of the test value would be wrong …

Better “too much” of an AI than too low, to be safe? Do have a past of some gyno and still have.
