T-nation is the place for that, man. From what I've seen here since the FOH days, is guys juicing to get to 160 pounds dripping wet, and no idea what they are doing.Anyone here pin?
PM me please, I have some questions.
We can't all be as fat as you bro.T-nation is the place for that, man. From what I've seen here since the FOH days, is guys juicing to get to 160 pounds dripping wet, and no idea what they are doing.
fixed that for you.We can't all lift as much as you bro.
I spend almost 5 minutes if lifting heavy. Normally about 2 minutes between regular sets.Is there a consensus on time between sets?
Well I weigh about 206 and have 15 inch arms because I don't do any iso arm work (which I'm trying to fix as of last month lololol). As for your other two points, my diet is dialed in (I cook for myself and weigh everything) and I rarely ever miss a training day, unless I'm sick or something important comes up.fixed that for you.
I'm of a mindset that if you don't weight at least 210 pounds and your arms aren't 18 inches, you shouldn't juice. I've seen so many guys juice and then lose it all when they go off cycle. And it was because their diet sucked. They didn't eat enough protein, and missed training sessions.
T-nation would be your friend, but you should research the shit out of PED's before taking them. And for God's sake, don't post you need help on a first cycle until you've researched for 50 hours. They'll tear you to shreds.Well I weigh about 206 and have 15 inch arms because I don't do any iso arm work (which I'm trying to fix as of last month lololol).

If I decide to do it I'll document everything and share it at the end of the cycle. Still mulling it over, weighing risks vs. rewards etc. and just trying to come to a better understanding of what I'm doing. If I were to do it, I don't want to as you say "lose it" when I cycle off. It's impossible to retain all of it obviously, but having your diet dialed in and your sleep schedule on track are the two biggest factors outside of hitting the weights.
Like I said, I'm not an idiot. I've already looked into everything, including estrogen suppressants like clomid and proper PCT. The last thing I want to do is fuck up my natural test production.T-nation would be your friend, but you should research the shit out of PED's before taking them.

From what I've seen from guys on cycle, they eat everything under the sun (4-6k calories). And they eat non stop. That weighing stuff goes out the window. They get bloated during cycle, but when the cycle is over, water drops and they look totally different. Remember those drugs that Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar got busted for? They were not steroids, they were drugs to mitigate the side effects (estrogen rebound, bitch tits, and start up). On the last subject, don't be a moron and not do a proper PCT. Anyone can gain 30 pounds on a cycle, but not everyone can keep 20 when it's over. The guys don't realize that their natural test production drops to 0, and you have to boost it back up. I've seen guys gain 20 pounds, and then be 10 pounds under their starting weight after an improper PCT.
Personally I wouldn't be quite as worried about the actual steroids, just the legality issue. It's still weird to me how birth control, which is essentially a dose of female hormone, is legal, but steroids are not.Personally, I'm too much of a pussy to pin. You never really know where the drugs are coming from, and I just imagine that whatever I'd be injecting myself with was made in some dirty factory in Tijuana. And I've heard of stories of guys putting crisco in ampules and then selling them.
When steroids were legal, then they were made to pharmaceutical grade standard.
When I was doing more of a powerbuilding (3-5 rep range on compounds, 8-12 on iso) routine, I would do 2.5-3 minutes.Is there a consensus on time between sets?
Being that I'm an ex-powerlifter, for some reason, on bench and squats, I still take five minutes between sets. If I'm going for a PR, I'm going to make sure I'm good and rested. For me:Is there a consensus on time between sets?
In college, I remember my frat brothers sharing needles. Mind you, they'd get drunk and bang chicks in the ass bareback, and not remember their names the next morning. They always had syphillis, gonorrhea or the clap at any given time. That always stuck in my mind about pinning. I think needles are easier to get now. I remember, they'd have me pin them once a week. I'd think to myself, what if one of them has HIV? We'd just go from one ass to the other with the same needle.Personally I wouldn't be quite as worried about the actual steroids, just the legality issue.
If you think you've done damage, go see a Doctor. For real. Also, stop being a retard and taking stimulants until it's all sorted out. Why are you still working out?I had been taking some of that Arnold Creatine Nitrate CR3 stuff for a while and started feeling like I was having some heart issues. After a few months of this, I decided to switch to another C4 to see if hte formulation would make me feel better. First time taking it, energy was insane and I think I had personal bests in half of my workouts and was able to push myself really hard for over an hour. After I got home, I'm not sure what was up but I felt like I legit had a heart attack. I don't think I could even muster a grip hard enough to crush an orange and I felt really faint and out of body like I was going to pass out.
Since then, I've noticed even caffeine effects me like 30% as much as it used to. I've totally stopped with the powder keg of bullshit pre-workouts and go with straight Beta Alanine, regular Creatine powder, and a bit of caffeine. It definitely doesn't put me in the same mindset as the Arnold stuff used to, but my heart has felt great and I can still sustain a high intensity workout for quite a while - about all I'm really looking for.
Any of you armchair scientists want to troubleshoot my 'heart attack' or whatever happened to me and recommend anything I can do to repair whatever damage I may have done?
