Pretty much anything taken after that is a progress pic!!

 

i gotta get back on the bulk train. At 200 I felt beastmode but at 190 I feel bitchmode. Crazy what 10 lbs makes.

My lifting partner recently started a cycle of M-Sten and has got me feeling like Luke Skywalker tryna fight Darth Vader. Sometimes the temptation to go to the Dark Side is there..

 

I had a friend do that, too. His max is now 405 and we used to be tied. It's very temping to jump the fence haha

 

I did a 4 week run of halo about 2 years ago and loved it. If I ever go back to the dark side I won't do anything near as hardcore as m-sten though.

I don't think epi/halo/pmag are dangerous enough to worry about for a 4 week cycle if ran properly.. but thats just me. I just don't want to quit drinking for 8 weeks to gain MAYBE 5-8 pounds when all is said and done.. something I could do naturally without cutting out IPAs if I really committed myself to it.

 

Old coach was telling me he broke his leg back in the day and pr'd a few times on bench since he could focus in it.

 

Personaly i would stay away from all forms of prohormones, test boosters and PEDs of any kind. Everyone reacts to it diffrently you might be fine or it might mess your life up. My mom actualy works for one of the top doctors in cali for hormone replacment and all that shit i was gona do some a few years ago when i was mountainbike racing and he talked me out of it. The risk vs reward isnt worth it unless your a pro athlete making money so why bother. Keep it natty and stick to creatine, ba, whey and all that stuff that doesnt have the potential to realy fuck you up. i know a kid whos life is ruined just from taking something like m-sten for a realy short period of time, can barley produce his own T, cant have kids and possible has a pituitary tumor...hes like 23. Atleast for me that shit aint worth it

 

ya. Trust me I've done countless research on the stuff in the past haha. If I ran one in the future it wouldn't be msten/dmz/tren.. the side effects make me pussy out, and rightfully so.

 

Well of course, you're a crossfitter.

 

Lol what does that have to do with anything? Do u reccomend using them?

 

Ha, I've done 2 one-month cycles of Stenadrol and gained 25 lbs the first time and 10-15 the second. It screwed my bp and liver enzymes up, though. If I ever go that route again, I'm doing straight test, which is waaay safer....but I'm too scared haha

There's nothing wrong with a basic test cycle. What gives it a bad name is when people do it too young, don't have proper pct, don't take enough time off, don't use AI's, etc. Everything can be abused, but a proper test cycle, if done correctly, will yield nothing but positive results.

That being said, I'm not condoning it because it's illegal without a prescription. I'm just saying one would be better off doing that than oral pro-hormones any day. Orals work, but fuck your system up big time

 

I agree about test.. I don't really think orals are THAT unsafe if taken properly. Liver damage only occurs after prolonged intervals of elevated enzymes. Considering orals don't begin to elevate enzymes for at least a week, you wouldn't expect them to start causing damage unless the person is an idiot and runs them for really long periods of time or mixes several methylated compounds together. The liver is good at repairing itself, so a short period of elevated enzymes isn't a big deal. The other side effects are temporary and go away after the cycle (other than bitch tits if you cycle inappropriately), so its really just a matter of what you wanna subject yourself to. At this moment I don't want to subject myself to them, but its crossed my mind recently to dabble into the really mild PHs

That being said... I'm definitely doing TRT in like 20 years lol

 

Ha as soon as my fiancée lets me, I wanna do test, but it's unlikely to happen lol. My only concern with orals is blood pressure, but like you said, it goes back to normal. If I ever do orals again, I'm just gonna do non-methylated. My normal bp is around 115/70 and on Stenadrol, mine was like 140/90 and I had 7-8 nose bleeds. Fuck dat!

 

Your right, i dont have a problem with test boosters unless your young, once you start getting old they can benifit you. Its the highschool kids on it who get fucked up

 

I dont know too much about them and havnt realy done research on em, but i was under the impression once u get off a test booster your body has an issue making its own test, and thats why young people have issues cuz they dont need them and then once there off it there levels drop. Is that right?
