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

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! 💪🏼

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 Жыл бұрын
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 Жыл бұрын
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!

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.

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

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 ?

@NicholasDowney Жыл бұрын
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?

@JasonS-eo7sh11 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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.
