[Seth Roberts]

off topic question i have aniema the iron defciancy one. so i was wondering what i need to change for me to hold alot of water?the doctor said i have small blood cells.
current cycle:
900 mgs of test
100 mgs a-50's
300mgs eq
2 i.u.'s hgh
5 i.us slin a.m. 5 i.u's p.m.
25 mcg's t3
meds:
325 mg ferrous sulfate 4 tabs
any and all help welcomed

I'm not sure I understand your question. You want to retain more water?

[Seth Roberts]

1- why if i was using cyp & deca , there's no need for anadrol ?
2- so if i want to change anadrol , by what i should change it ?

I didn;t say there was no need for anadrol, I said there was no need to pulse it. Just take it every day.

Mr Seth I am 32 years old, hight 1.72 m and I weigh 70 kg (sorry I am not familiar with the US metric system).
I am lifting weights for 10 years an have been natural so far.
I have decided to start a cycle now. (note: as Lubovski wrote I am not a competitor too just want it for appearance).
Ok now the bad part. As you mentioned in a previous post many people most often use what is available instead of what is best due to criminalization. So I am about to start a winstrol only cycle (yes I know ALL the users will say that's a waste, but this is the only thing I can do). Im going to inject 50mg twice week for 5 weeks.
My questions are:
a) Should I use an anti-estrogen?
b) Do I need a PCT an which one?
c) Should I increase the dose?


I am sorry if my questions look stupid but as I said this is my first time and it's hard to find someone to help becuse noone wants to admit the use of steroids.

Winstrol needs to be injected daily. 50 mg per day at least. Even then you are unlikely to see any dramatic results. You probably won't need an antiestrogen though you might want to run a low dose of tamoxifen (10 mg per day) just in case. I would switch over to clomid 50 mg per day for PCT.

[Lubovski]

If you are only doing this for appearance, then I would probably take the rest of the year off (i.e. just do one cycle per year) - with the cycle you mentiones, I would probably do replacment levels of test (100 mg per week) without the tren and deca for a few weeks post-cycle. Clomid and HCG for PCT starting while still on the replacement level of test.

Seth thanks for getting back to me so quick, i am taking your advice and getting off for now, starting the replacement levels and PCT protocol.

We are lucky to have a good bro like you here on the forum, thanks for the time.

regards

yes, i get no estrogen sides what so ever!!and it is due to me being anemic(small red blood cells)??i did a google search of my type of anemia and got no where.thank you again for your prompt reply

[mhb3003]

Thaanks steth for answring me & i have some Q
1- you really amazing me & i want some info about your book
2- Do you really prefer starting by the effective dose ( like 1g of test \ week or 250 mg \ week ) like what dave palumbo said ( i didn't compare between any one & i recpect every one opinion ) or with tapering up or dowen & whey ?

[agios]

Thank you mr Seth for your quick reply.
I will follow your instructions and hope for the best.

It is strange that you have anemia while taking androgens. Did your doc do anything other than prescribe iron pills?

1. My book is available at nutraplanet.com, lgsciences.com, primordialperformance.com and mesomorphosis.com. Did you want other information?
2. I prefer tapering up and down. A person has no idea how the maximal dose is going to affect them so it is better to step up the dose. Once you know how a certian dose affects you then it probably is not as much of a concern but i am not an advocate of very high doses anyway. I also am a believer in tapering down. This gives the body a better chance to normalize ratehr than suffering an immediate loss of androgens.

thaaaaanks for answring me . i have couple of Q .
1- did you prefer using armadix with nolvadex when using anadrol as every one of them have different action ?
2- can you mention the best 5 oral & best 5 injectable steroid in bulking cycle ?
3- how much steroid you want to take at the same time in bulking cycle ?

[sixpax]

I have done 8 weeks of 250mg Sustanon and 200mg Deca, EOD; and 4 weeks of 250mg Testoviron Depot and 200mg Boldenone, I wish to continue this for 4 more weeks to complete two 8 weeks cycles.
I did not employ any anti estrogen throughout, although i felt some hardness under
the nipple and water retention. And I have eaten a lot of junk along with protein and good fats and have gained about 30lbs in 12 weeks.
My blood pressure is showing 140/110 on the mercury meter and 140/90 on the digital meter. I dont know which one is accurate.
Also for your information, I have not been taking my vitamins , omegas etc regularly either.
My question is:
1. Do you think this blood pressure rise is temporary ( maybe due to Testoviron, since it is androgenic)?
2. The doctor asked me to take Amlodipine 5mg / Atenolol 50mg ( but he doesnt know I am on steroids).....so should I take this medication for as long as I do the cycle, or do I have to take it forever?
thanks

1. I am not a huge proponent of aromatase inhibitors but rather prefer SERMs like tamoxifen.
2. Bulking depends more on your diet than on the drugs used for the most part. Also, I am not big into packing on the water weight and I always try to weight gains against sides. For injectables (of those that are readily available), I like longer esters of test (cypionate) and nandrolone (deca), trenbolone (enanthate), primo depot. Of the readily available orals I prefer anavar and dbol and occasionally anadrol.
3. These questions are a little hypothetical, but I don't know two many stacks that won't jack up the weight better than tren test and anadrol or test dbol and deca. Anything more than 3 maybe 4 different AAS and I kind of question the value. To me, adding in another drug has to make it better otherwise you might as well increase the dose of one of the drugs already in the stack.

It is likely temporary. I would first adjust your sodium intake downward as this will likely reduce your blood pressure. Testosterone will raise blood pressure as will boldenone. I cannot advise you not to take the drugs our doc has prescribed but if it were me, I would either tell my doc that i was using AAS and ask him not to document it so that he can make sure there will not be any potential interactions or i would take it on myself not to take the meds and either get the blood pressure down with diet or go off the AAS and see if it subsides by itself.

i know you like anavar, and i want to add it to a cycle of test ace, 350 mg/wk, i weigh around 228, bf not sure, but how much do you recommend to get best effect of var reguardless of $$? in otherwords, where is the dose too high for diminishing returns?

I don't know that there is any data to showing the top end of the dose response curve but I probably wouldn't go above 100 mg even if it were free and in reality I would probably prefer 40 to 50 mg.
