Agreed! I think we should always tailor our lingo toward the newcomer. I try to myself. For example I'll say "steroids" to a new member and not 'sauce' or 'gear'. I'll also say Anadrol and not oxymetholone and EQ vs. boldenone, etc.
At this point you can go ahead and get it now if you want bro.
I see where you're going. Guess I'm just hyper focused on the weight loss, so thats where my train of thought goes. Thanks a lot, man. Appreciate it!yes I understand thisbut it's not always calories in vs calories out, maintenance is relative, especially you're training and doing cardio.
I spoke to Team UGL OZ for you @Wheels85 please talk to them, see your DMs
Thank you AJ @UGL OZ for agreeing to help and support you
Bro it's all good. You've got the body dysmorphia which is mandatory to all serious members on here
Definitely elements to it. The scoliosis and " quad belly" I've developed since being in a chair aren't great for the old confidence. There's also just the fact that I am overweight, and the only way to change that is to put in the work. Also, if I want to do a cycle, my body fat needs to be lower to avoid things happening as you guys have mentioned.Bro it's all good.

smart focus, we just need to take it slowly and try to maximize what we have

@Wheels85 great week man. You’re definitely making some really good progress
Is a hand cycle what it sounds like it is?
Doing a little cardio work after meals, certainly helps
Yeah. I have mine on an indoor smart trainer.
Cool! Holy shit I bet that's a hardcore arm workout. You're a beast bro
@Wheels85 I'm looking forward to having you on the podcast. Definitely would like to learn more about what you're doing here. The family pizza seems really good. Hopefully it was homemade.
No family pizza, mate. I was joking that the reta has kicked in, and a small meal feels like I'm eating a family-size pizza. Sounds good, man. I can't promise I'll be too entertaining, but I'll try my bes,t haha.
That is a fine looking meal right there if you ask me. I like the protein and I like the veggies next to it. Looks really appealing man. You won't beat it. @Wheels85
yeah its early right now for me. the joke went over my head lol
Nice job on this. You're making me hungry. @Wheels85 Looks like you seared it perfectly.
@Wheels85 Sorry you didn't get a good night's sleep. Sometimes that can happen, but hopefully you feel better after your nap. Let us know how you feel tomorrow.
Bros. They have a couple of those in my gym. That's really good exercise machine. You develop some strong forearms from them. @Wheels85
Yeah, Gainsman was telling me that earlier. I don't have any on hand. I am buying some now off the @UGL OZ store. Any suggestions? I would imagine the estrogen being that high is because of my higher body fat %? I have noticed I'm holding my water in my legs. Not an outrageous amount, though.
You’ll definitely be holding water and you might get sensitive itchy or puffy nipples. Mood may be affected as well. BF% plays a role but so does your own physiology and genetics.
I'm not a fan of using steroids to lower estrogen from steroids, especially once your e2 is that high. Having said that masteron can do this and it's argued that EQ seems to as well although the mechanism isn't well understood but the bloodwork doesn't lie.
Yeah, Im still buying some AI. I have no problem putting in the work for 12 months and getting the estrogen under control. I want my health markers as good as much as anyone. I was just spit balling ideas on e2 management
Oh for sure bro and it's a great idea. I think once your e2 is in check with aromasin we can look at adding in some EQ or Masteron and have ourselves a nice debate on whether it should be EQ or Masteron you add in knowing your e2 is in check.
No. I pinned 200mg, 200mg, 300mg, 150mg (first shot this week). I can't really recall the first shot. It was probably 120mg actually. I should write all this down. Still on the reta following the doses you suggested. Pec fly is good, man. Just need to buy more plates for it.
No. Some do (I do). Many don't due to laws and potential legal issues
Agreed there's nothing in your log that I can see regarding what you're pinning dose or dates are and I tried to go back and look but I didn't check every single post so my apologies if you did put it up there. That's an absolute MUST for your log and those are not TRT doses (as you know) those are doses you'd wanna run aromasin at 12.5mg eod or e3d and in that context and then get your bloods checked so you're not playing catchup like we are now.
bros yeah it a great way for you to get in cardio!
And to answer this question yes higher body fat % can contribute to more aromatization but it's also based on your own physiology and genetics as well. Some guy at your BF% can get away with it whereas some their e2 is even higher than yours.
I definitely mentioned it around week 2 and asked if I could pin 250mg. The 300 was when I messaged you and mentioned that I missed the centre of my delt, so I re-pinned, thinking it wouldn't be effective. It's my fault, regardless. You guys recommended 120 and then adjust after bloods, and I knew it's always best to have an AI in hand, but I didn't. I also pinned the night before my test, so that could have influenced the numbers being as high as the were but they're still high even accounting for that. I'm not worried. AJ @UGLhas fully hooked me up with some AI, test and Reta. Chalk it down as a lesson learned. Don't rush doses and ALWAYS keep an AI on hand. At least I know now why I've been a bit moody and my sleep has been pretty bad, haha.
Good reflection, that’s exactly the right takeaway. Pinning right before bloods always spikes readings, but even so it’s smart you’ve got Arimidex ready to manage e2 now. @Wheels85
Yeah, we have sorted out a plan. 100%! Since I got here, he's been nothing but helpful towards me. In my blog or if I have a question in a DM.Good reflection, that’s exactly the right takeaway. Pinning right before bloods always spikes readings, but even so it’s smart you’ve got Arimidex ready to manage e2 now. @Wheels85
Lesson locked in, keep your base steady around 120-150mg test for a few weeks before reassessing, and I think you are with @Gains Man he will coach you too as you update us.
and @HarleyGuy is amazing for following up and doing his best.
@Wheels85 that Reta will definitely get you that full feeling quick. Nice work man
No, no. I re-pinned 80mg. So, 160mg. Imagine pinning 600mg in a day, haha. I'm sure there are huge units that do, but no, I'm not that crazy, haha.Why'd your repin? LOL so you pinned 600mg's that day?
I’ve never been more happy to have read something wrong LOL
