THE SAFEST STEROIDS? Dangerous Steroids? Steroids at 45? Testosterone Undecanoate? Steroid Q&A

[@unassailable6138]

Im 43, I got so much pain in my hips it was driving me crazy, I could barely walk. One month after starting testosterone I feel zero pain, I can walk , run, jump and have my life back. I take whatever sides ( I have none now) , life quality, not length is everything. Being natural also has risks. At 5:10 you mean 600mg a week, not a day right lol

[@usernwn7qe]

That´s why its banned in most of the world no disease no profit

[@NicholasDowney]

Definitely meant 600mg a week haha. Yeah TRT is life changing for some. When it comes to cycling though at that age, the benefits might not outweigh the odds

[@benhall2235]

@@usernwn7qe testosterone? where is it banned? Nowhere I’m aware of. I can get it easily in the Uk quite legally and above board if I’m deficient. USA is even more lax. They’re giving it to lesbians who are captured by the gender pervert cult for gods sake if they’re giving it to women I’m pretty sure you can get trt as a man.

Hi Nick, I am a 24 year old male who has used Testosterone @ 200mg and Deca @300mg respectively, per week for about 12 weeks. I went to get my blood done and doctor came back to me saying that I am a walking heart attack waiting to happen as my blood pressure was through the roof and my total testosterone reading was around the mid 50s nmol/I ( approx 2.5 times that of the high end of normal range) The free testosterone was 4000 pmol/l. Next to the readings it said “Beckman”, so I guess there are different ways for measuring testosterone. But anyway, I tried recovering naturally but failed terribly even after doing a PCT consisting of Nolvadex and Clomid and staying completely natural for 6 months after the cycle. My updated test levels were even worse, it had plummeted to bascially 0 and my LH was at 0.3IU/I. The doctor then prescribed HGH (2IU pd) to stimulate my pituitary gland and within about 3 months my levels came back to baseline again. What we can learn from this is that even if you’re a healthy young male, Deca will suppress you like you wouldn’t believe… I suppose the same goes for other hardcore gear such as tren. HCG and HGH are essential for recovery when running something as suppressive as Deca (even at low doses) Recovery after every Test and Anavar cycle before the one mentioned was short and with a proper PCT protocol I was even able to restore my levels beyond baseline. The human body is such a mystery, thank you for sharing your content and enabling us all to learn together! 💪🏼

[@kyleeva21]

6:03 Would like to add that Test @ 600mg per week skewed my lipid profile less than using 50mg of Tren per week with Anavar. So the bio-identical hormones are definitely safer even at higher doses! All orals kill lipids, it’s a fact. Could you perhaps give some advice for supporting kidney recovery and health after running harsh cycles? I experimented with EQ and tren, and regret it every single day. Very low dosages does not even justify using these compounds 😢

[@benhall2235]

That’s interesting. Glad you recovered with hcg. I always run it on cycle but have only used test and a bit of winstrol and only ever use hcg and Nolvadex for pct. Incidentally nothing has shut me down worse than methadone. Opioid hypogonadism is no joke. My total test was 0.9nmol /l that’s sub female levels I think. My testes were tiny which is why I got checked out. Two months after tapering of the methadone my levels were 19nmol/ l bang in the middle of the normal range. That was in my thirties. I’ve always trained though as a natty even when in addiction but now in my 40’s I’ve run a few light cycles as I figure I’ll be on trt eventually anyway. As a naturally lean person I’ve not needed an ai but hcg has really helped me recover fast. I was considering deca with my next cycle in the winter but your comment has given me pause for thought. A lot of people say it’s pretty side effect free but we’re all different of course. I want to do a big bulk this winter but with my age I’m cautious of anything too harsh like Anadrol and prefer injectables.

[@kyleeva21]

I would say Deca is superior for those who are ectomorphs and who want to keep their hair. I am also very lean (around 3.5% bf year round), but it comes at the cost of always feeling tired/fatigued. You are 100% correct when you say it’s less harsh ito side effects! Deca-only just makes me feel so damn tired and demotivated. So I’ve found that running at least 150mg of test per week helps tremendously. Hcg, HGH and Nolvadex will help you recover from almost everything! Just don’t run cycles longer than 12 weeks. I am not dissing Deca, it’s definitely one of the best and I’ve never had to use AIs as well even when running high Deca with very low tren, test and anadrol. Just a note: Anadrol is the most harsh oral I’ve ever used, even at 25mg pd I felt like dying and it shredded the hair! All the best with whatever you choose to run, my only advice when running deca is having your blood pressure monitored daily, because anecdotally, that is the only intense side effect I ever experienced. My solution for when using deca is to use TRT dosages of Test only and maybe DHEA after dropping the Deca for at least 2 months. I am going to test this with 500 IUs of HCG per week to see if it helps speed up the recovery. Just blows my mind to think that there are people out here blasting these suppressive compounds and never using PCT. Recovery will takes years if not decades without proper PCT intervention. All the best!

[@Staphylin]

I'm sorry to repeat myself but there is something that has solved most of my problems when cycling : giving my blood. Actually high hematocrit is a cause of high blood pressure and when my hematocrit level returns to normal after I give my blood, my blood pressure returns to normal and I feel better. I just need to supplement myself in iron, zinc and multivitamins to compensate the loss of blood. Sometimes I give 2-3 times during one cycle.

[@florind93]

Which is the safest sarm, for both supression and liver toxicity?

[@MarkKislich]

BTW Taeian Clark is a Nandro Only proponent and he says it's VERY safe. I'd say you should interview him! 😁 😊

[@MarkKislich]

Howdy Sir. That Harlem study... I wonder: dud they measure individual levels before as well as after. Because 'normal' in general is a wiiide range. Normal for the individual though, means back to where they were before they started. My theory is that you'll only get to some 80-90% of prior levels.

[@Staphylin]

Great video, great content like always. Just something : Superdrol and masteron are the same molecule if you look at the structure (one is 17-alkyled and the masteron is esterified if I am not wrong) so it's a bit weird that one is dangerous and the other is safe

[@Me-dl5ng]

It is not surprising. The 17α-alkylated steroids are liver toxic. Generally small changes can make a big difference.

[@dlloydy5356]

Solid info. I noticed the misspeaking on 600mg per day too 😂 as others already said. Did you compare Masteron to Proviron in the video or was it Primobolan..I think I’ve confused myself or misheard 🙄 are Masteron & Primo often compared or am I really mixing it all up!? 😬

[@benhall2235]

Mast and Primo are often compared and have similar effects , lowering estrogen and giving a lean hard look to the muscles. Proviron doesn’t have those same effects and Is mostly used to improve fertility and libido.

[@Staphylin]

Hey Nich ! I you read this, there is something that totally bugs me about AAS. Boldenone and Dianabol are actually the same compound. Dbol is just 17-alkyled and has that CH3 methyl group in the 17th carbon. So why that only small difference changes the compound effects that much ? Does not make any sense. So it could mean the oral versions of primo, winstrol etc. can have different effects than the injectables esterified version ?

Howdy Sir. Regarding Nandro, d3 and blood calcium levels. I hear tell Nandro increases blood calcium, so does d3. So Sone recommend to not take any d3 while on nandro. Thoughts?

Hi Nicholas. I remember your video on Nebolet (Nebivilol) sor I'm not sure about how to spell it. But are you a South African Dr? For some reason every chemist that I have been to says they no longer stock it. Is there perhaps another blood pressure med you would recommend for people who cycle and don't want erectile dysfunction?

[@NicholasDowney]

Hi yes I am in South Africa. With the lack of availability of Nebivolol I made the previous video about Carvedilol, or carloc which also could be used in stead

what about Steroid use over 65 for sarcopenia? can u find studies AND real men who are doing it and tell results

[@NicholasDowney]

There are many studies on this, but the issue with trying to generalise this to healthy men over 65 is that the individuals enrolled in these studies with sarcopenia, have higher morbidity related to the sarcopenia than the exogenous compound. But in healthy men over 65 I am not sure whether these risks would outweigh the benefit. But perhaps there is a study on this in healthy men over 65?

[@JB23669]

Would test prop EOD be more favorable as TRT (consider consistent adherence to dosing)? Due to its shorter half life ?

[@JasonS-eo7sh]

No. Test Prop should not be used as TRT as the Test levels will not be consistent. While most use Test C or E for TRT, you could use Sustanon as your levels would only spike slightly on 2X per week injections. The reason I use Sustanon as my TRT is for the extra boost you will get from the short ester in the mix.

[@JasonS-eo7sh]

Although Primobolan and Masteron are safer than 90% of the compounds out there, it will destroy your hairline. I used a cycle that included 500 Masteron and didn't realize how badly it ravaged my hair until my wife said something.

[@JB23669]

Can you share which studies show 600mg per week of test is safe? How long is "short term"

are you a trt Dr? i ask this because only one type of person says testosterone is safe.....thats a guy selling it.

Yeah I think all you need is 100 mg a week of testosterone cypionate and that's it

[@benhall2235]

I wish testosterone didn’t make my face so red when I use it. Doesn’t seem to matter what dose I run I always get a red face and chest. I think it’s just due to increased blood cells getting oxygen to my muscles? I get it on cialis too sometimes from the vaso dilation, Ive only run low dose cycles like 300 per week maybe 400 per week.never more than that but even at 200 a week the red face is still an issue. It’s not Terrible but it’s noticeable for me.

[@NicholasDowney]

There could be multiple causes: Oestrogen High Haematocrit (although not likely to cause oedema) The cause that I think could be is overproduction of Aldosterone and other mineralocorticoids. The body most likely tries to combat this through peripheral vasodilation. This is just a hypothesis of mine

[@benhall2235]

@@NicholasDowney Thank you Nicholas I will look into that. I don’t think it’s Oestrogen as my bloods all seem fine and I don’t get any other adverse or u welcome side effects.
