    Red face Eq pains........this is horrible

    hey guys i am nearing the end of my Test E and Eq cycle. I am in my 13th week of the total 16. My elbow joints are killing me and the bottom of my bicep (the opposite side of the elbow). Alsolute pain! I cant do heavy curls or shoulder presses anymore because of the pain. Anyone else experience this pain? ANy way to bring down the pain? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    The Test E should have helped with this. However, EQ does dry your joints out. This is why I run a minimal amount of Deca along side it.
    I would suggest glucosamine but that takes four weeks to really kick in.
    You got four weeks left, you could up the Test E dose to try and increase water retention.

    When I run EQ without Deca I can't walk up a flight of stairs by week 9.

    Not at all.
    It is great for vascularity. Hence, very little to no water retention = joint pain.

    I'm gonna run this cycle soon, I take glucosamine anyway, but what would you consider a minimal dose of deca? I dont wanna run into this problem when I'm on.

    Exactly.......there's been an article floating around saying EQ is better for the joints than deca ....but ppl fail to realize it was written in a persons oppinion and had NO data to back up his claims.his claim was it brought up collogen levels in the joints to some astounding number....but in the meantime every one has joint pain on EQ.

    I usually will run 200mg/wk deca along side the EQ and my Test intake ALWAYS is higher than the EQ/Deca doseage.
    However, I have a bad knee that has been operated in twice.
    I should have asked at what dose he was running the Test E and EQ. If the Test E is at a lower doseage than the EQ, that could be the problem as well.

    Most people do experience discomfort running EQ.

    However, not all experience unbearable pain.

    I believe mine stems from my knee ops.

    EQ and Deca will be in your system for 5-6 months. If all that I've read is correct. But I belive they have to be testing for Juice NCAA,NFL, MLB. Not to many check on random drug test for juice. Please correct me if im wrong.

    I'm not sure what your question is on the drug testing.

    For the record, Deca and EQ can be detected upwards to 18 months after your cycle.

    my question had nothing to do with drug test or similar stuff, tnx anyway.
    i make u this exemple...
    it is always suggested to run Eq or Deca at a lower dosage than Test.
    accordin to this i was planning to run 400 test cyp and 300/350 eq per week, right?
    now, if i add another 200mg deca, ill take more "other drugs" than test! is this ok or i have to increase test?
    or maybe just go with 300eq and only 100mg deca with 400mg test!
    tnx for help.

    2nd cycle was supposed to be:
    1-10 test cyp 400mg
    1-11 eq 300mg
    11-12-13-14 prop @ 75/100mg EOD till pct

    i am about to run 750 Enth with 400 EQ also, is it worthwhile to look into GNC joint lubricating supplements?

    OK, I have to admit that I am not good with the metric conversion thing. I think 85kg is around 200lbs.

    You can run those doses and add 100mg/wk deca to see how it goes. If you experience any joint pain you could jump the deca to 200mg/wk without increasing your test intake.

    I would also move the prop to the start of the cycle to give you a jump start.

    If I'm being unclear at all, let me know.

    Moush...sorry for hijacking your thread bro.

    Screw GNC.

    Honestly I get my glucosamine from CVS. Just as good and half the price.

    well i am using glucosamine with chondroitin and MSM and i still have joint probs! I drink tons of water too. I am using nolva and l-dex also. I am running 500mg Test E/wk and 400mg Eq/wk and i was planning on using winnie for the last couple of weeks but I think thats out of the question with the way things are going.

    Stop using the L-dex for the last few weeks and see if it helps at all.
    I never use it when running EQ.

    I would frontload with some Dbol and look into shooting the prop ED instead of EOD. I would only run the prop for the last 2 weeks so that you could start PCT sooner as well. 4 weeks of shots is alot.

    Two weeks of prop at the end is a waste IMO.

    In addition, he is presently cutting and wants to remain lean so I think prop would be a better front load than Dbol .

    Currently having a similar problem. I am running winny, test e, and eq now, nearing the end of my cycle. I know what you mean with the pain, but no pain no gain. I suggest drinking a lot of water and taking glucosamine. I like to use 4 glucosamine tabs per day with winnie. You can get 120 of 2000mg of glucosamine at Wal-Mart for $13. Go there quick!

    Point taken. I would figure the Dbol would keep some more water in the joints though. I was just talking about finishing with the prop for two weeks so that you could start PCT right after your last shot. Well 3 days after at least.
