    Anyone? I don’t have appointment with doctor for a month so this is all a bit scary for me. Started on 500mg Metformin ER a day.

    So Dr Dean would you be more in favor of proviron? Or just test alone?

    Thanks guys!! So it looks like proviron or mast would be solid choices. 150-180 mg test cup a week with 50 mg proviron sounds good. Dr Dean do you think from a health stand point specifically blood lipids that mast over AI use would be beneficial? Of course keeping an eye on bloods, but my PSA always comes back good and I am not partial to hair loss on DHT. Would it be milder than say 12.5 mg of aromasin EOD? Could I cut back to the mast and proviron and maybe go 12.5 aromasin E3D? I am with you Christoph especially since my liver seems to elevate easily, stupid genetics

    May 8, 2017 at 2:45 am in reply to: Extent of Bulking/Massing Phase

    I had actually just read that study as you had suggested to look up Stuart Phillips on the FT forums. For some one my size that equals about 300g protein. I wonder if the study would indicate a cyclic approach of any benefit? We all seem to agree that lowering caloric intake on off days, could some of that caloric deficit come from protein as well, seeing as we don’t have the need for elevated protein synthesis? I understand that you consider individual people biology a hard sale to say what would be optimal for a bulk, let me rephrase then. In your experience as a trainer and anecdotal experience what would you say is the upper limits of fat for a bulk phase?

    I completely agree with the calf point you brought up, however is there a point where this may diminish. Look at the people on the 600lb life or whatever, they eventually get to the point they can’t move. So living completely sedentary lifestyle would you still think the 1/3 weight gain to be FFM? I would conclude that at this level of obesity their hormonal profile would be so poor that eventually almost all weight gain is adipose tissue.

    Lastly, with the elevated levels of nitrogen retention in enhanced athletes I can see where the higher protein could be even more beneficial. Would the limits of 3.4 g/kg be pushed even further? Or is there any studies that show a level of diminishing returns on protein intake for enhanced athletes? Thanks Dr Scott

    Dr. Scott! I love seeing you here I am also on the FT forums! What would you consider optimal body fat % for FFM gains in a perfect world. You had said you think 15 % might be a tad on high side. Would maintaining say 9-12% be a better shake? Also based on your study you are saying a non exercising individual with say normal range hormones puts on 1/3 muscle regardless of diet? I had read a study you had posted saying that 3.4g/ per kg had illicitly fat loss with muscle gain? So I guess I fail to see how regardless of diet these individuals could put on muscle with out stimulus from exercise.

    Yea I hadn’t been checking it. Where should I be ideally on wake? Depleted nope I have been eating quite a bit. I’m 4 weeks post show so I have been increasing calories and have had quiet a few cheats. I will keep checking daily like you guys recommend. Are there any benefits to being so insulin sensitive? Or is this a troubling reading period? Thanks Christoph and DrDean!

    May 6, 2017 at 1:23 pm in reply to: DHT or Tren to TRT/ Cruise

    Yea I had read the first article. That is what got me going on the idea of Tren, I was thinking of running Tren E with Cyp just to cut back on injections. Cuz who loves those? I found the second article very interesting, specially the portion saying liver enzymes improved on Anavar? How I thought it was hepa-toxic? My idea for tren over say Primo, is trying to use the smallest amount of AAS possible, for HRT. I would love to get my bloods and health in complete line before blasting again. However, seeing how tren is so harsh I can see the benefits of possibly other compounds.

    Another question, I had is there a downregulation of using the same compound? Say you take a break from Tren, is it more effective when you pick it back up in say 6-8 months?

    I do like the idea of proviron! 150-200 mg Cyp with 50 mg a day of Proviron could be amazing. It might allow me to use less Aromasin weekly, and also improve lipid profile.

    I am currently trying to gain 20lbs this offseason, it will be an extended off season. So all of my cruise/ HRT runs will be trying to stay healthy while maintaining the size, I have gained.

    Thanks again Christoph!

    I feel you bud. I was diagnosed with low T 5 years ago so I have been HRT for a while with blasts in between. You said primo what dose would you run it at say TRT? Care to share any information your friends or articles shared with you?

    Jordan you have said primo needs to be run at higher doses. Would this hold true for say the Trt or cruise protocol? Could you do 100-150 test and say 100 primo? Or would the cruise become more of a low dose cycle with primo? Have you tried any of this before Christoph? Thanks guys

    I must say I am considering it. My thyroid has always been on the low side even out of range low at times. I feel if I am going to use TRT for life, is this much different? Perhaps there is a way to boost natural thyroid I could try before taking this step? Thanks for input so far gents, I love the safety this forum holds for its members!

    Hey Jordan, you posted you stay on t3 year round. Is this due to gh blunting or tren doing same? Also, why do you take it at night as opposed to morning? I have heard it can effect your sleep? Thanks my man! Keep pushing! Your deadlift vids inspire the hell out of me!

    What would be a good break down of ECA, dose wise? Like how much caffine, Ephadrine, and asprin dose?
