Boldenolone Undecylenate or Boldenone Undecylenate (Alterative spellings) also known as Equipoise (EQ) is a popular veterinary steroid and beyond that there isn’t a lot of agreement on it. And the profiles have it listed from everything from a wonder drug to worthless. It has along half life, around 16 days and has the distinction of being a liquid at room temp in its raw form. It’s easy to inject and is often used to cut painful gear (the same can not be said for its short ester cousins). It is also one of the most misunderstood and misused steroids around. I don’t mean misused as in abused but as in not being used correctly. This is why a lot of people will say that it didn’t do anything for them, they did not plan there cycles right. Here are some of the major reasons why.
1. Didn’t run the stuff long enough. EQ has a half life of around 16 days. That means that it takes about 6 weeks to “kick in”. “Kick in” being defined here as having enough build up in the depot to allow ~75% or more of the intended dosage to be released to the body plus the time it takes to take effect. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen someone tell a newbie to run a test and EQ or nandrolone decanoate cycle for 8 or 10 weeks. If you think about this it’s obvious that it isn’t long enough. . Your at the end of your cycle just when things are getting good.
2. Didn’t run enough of the stuff. I don’t care what the profiles say; EQ is not a strong steroid at all. It’s around 40-60% as strong as testosterone. There are lots of numbers around but these fit best with the real world results. Most people tend to think of EQ as a additional steroid that you run with testosterone so they will run less of the EQ as a ratio to the testosterone. The problem with this is that if your running 600mg a week of testosterone and you want a 3 to 2 ratio that leaves you with 400mg of EQ. That’s worth about 200mg of testosterone. Yes you will see something especially if you account for the synergy between the two but you are hardly going to see the full effects of the steroid. The magic number for EQ seams to be around 600 to 800mg a week. Beyond a gram you see an exponential rate of diminishing returns.(the people that I know that have tried it have all said that it was a waste to run past a gram). I am not advocating running large doses of steroid but people should not be complaining about not seeing results when they are only running the equivalent of an HRT dose of testosterone.
3. Didn’t run it at all in a cycle due to running nandrolone decanoate. A lot of people and profiles list EQ as having the same action as nandrolone decanoate. This is a hold over from receptor theory and its bull****. Someone didn’t bother to try it rather they held to the theory or whatever “medical” reasoning is being used to make this statement. The only problem with doing this is that you’re starting to take a lot of injections at this point assuming that you’re running testosterone with this. Everyone that I know that has tried this loved it. Theories need to account for real world results before we take stock in them.
4. Didn’t want to run the stuff without testosterone. EQ can be ran just fine without anything else. You will not see massive gains but you see nice sold gains and endurance. Its not a great muscle builder but as an all around steroid it is an attractive option. Especially if you have any kind of joint or other health problems for that matter EQ can actually help you out as opposed to testosterone which is bad for connective tissues. EQ also has less side affects then testosterone and can be ran when health considerations rule out other steroids.
