Hi Ronnie, its embarrasing to write this but my sex drive has been dead for 12 weeks or so, on my 3rd cycle. Taking testoterone only at 750mg a week.
Have not taken any Ai's since I only have acne,puffy nipples, little sensitive, also the head of my penis is sensitive. Have tried sex supplements, Nothing. Started taking proviron 2 weeks ago, started with 50mg a day for a week, then bumped it up to 100mg a day second week. Have any idea what is going on? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey bro could be bunk testosterone if your sure it's not go to the doctor because it could be serious also you can try PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil citrate, essentially cialis. Sorry about your problem bro don't wait too long and get on hcg and off test and to the docs

[SwellingUp]

I just started deca 250 and 250 testo gel and im in my 3rd week. still have 7 to go. I already started feeling sensitive around the nipple area and felt soreness today on my right side. is better to start taking nolva during to prevent from gyno or would guys recommend ai or letro? please advice. thanks...

Take the nolvadex 3 days at a time when you feel sides flaring up or you feel nipple pain a little extra sensitivity is normal IMO better would be to take exemestane/aromasin while on cycle instead and save nolvadex for PCT. take the AIs the same way as nolvadex 3 days at a time when sides flare up. Taking too much of either during cycle will hamper your gains.

Ron, I know this was posted like 3 years ago. But damn fine information. I am a newbie, but just some awesome insight. Thanks.

[VASCULAR VINCE]

Big ronnie....taking nolvadex .. Does it make you more prone to gyno..in future???

[daninho777]

Hey Ron, what do you recommend when coming out of a 12 week cut (not contest prep)? would you say a deload is needed before going onto a reload or just go straight from the cut to a reload?
Thanks

[wisephil]

Hi ronnie! i was reading through your thread and it really caught my attention, as not only does it makes complete sense, but it also seems to produce great results in terms of size.
What do you think about running 2 19 nors during one cycle? I was thinking about running npp (i don't mind pinning more frequently it really doesn't bother me i kinda like it actually) and tren e in the same cycle. I have ran tren several times before with no problems at all.
I will be running caber eod at .50 and aromasin 12.5 ed and have letro on hand.
Also do you think running hcg during reload 2x 250mg per week then 1250mg of hcg eod during deload is a good idea since I'm running 2 19 nors? or how should i run it exactly for better results and keeping my balls safe?
I plan on running this cycle for 22 weeks then pct for 6 weeks, how long do you think i should stay off gear after this cycle before i jump back on if I'm trying to play it safe?
10 weeks including pct or more?

Another question is should i run my test at maintenance around 300 a week and run tren at 600 a week since they both fight for the same receptor and tren is the stronger one?
I want to run two 19 nors at the same time during my first reload. I have ran tren a at 75ed and sust 500 weekly and noticed more sides when i increased the sust so i lowered it and increased tren 100ed and sust at 500 with no sides.

I plan on keeping on eating 330grams of protein, 250 grams carbs, 65 grams of fats during reload (just an example) I'm around 175, but will adjust my diet according to my weight before i start the cycle in july.
and 230 grams of protein, 300 grams of carbs, 85 grams of fat (during deload)




Here is my planned cycle and workouts please tell me what i should change and or what you recommend i really want to stick with the 10 wk reload , 2 wk deload 8 wk reload 2 wk reload, then pct for 4-6 weeks

[gonebluffn]

Ronnie you have definately changed my physiquenI love your sling shot method but I only done 24 weeks with incredible results and I have regular blood work I have low T but last dr visit he said my liver enzymes were considerably high other than that healthy as can be ive started taking milk thistle but not sure that will solve the problem and I really dont want to come off do you recomend going ahead and running pct and staying off a couple months or just cut back to maybe 250 mg test a week. Last cycle 750 mg tren e 500 mg sust clen t3 2 on 2 off for six weeks and one more question I ve read so much about not running two nor19s together but tren slows my libido dramaticly and ive done a deca only cycle and my libido was through the roof even more so than when i ran with test I would like to split my tren and deca to 400 mg each and 5to 600 mg of test ive tried raising test but had no libido affect just increased sides of other compounds .thanks for the info sorry so long

[Ronnie Rowland]

hey ronnie. Had to cut my first 20 week blast of test e only short due to sickness. So i finished up with pct of 1500iu of hcg eod for 2 weeks. Its been about 8 weeks now since pct, feeling great, got my diet dialled in even more, so i'm looking at another 20 week blast.

I have 100ml of test e and 500 tabs of 10mg dbol .

Now should i do test e only again, seems though i cut my last blast short at 11 weeks??. Or add in the dbol to second reload or both reloads this time round. What is your opinion? go swith test only again for another 8 week reload then add in the d-bol during the following reload.
to be honest i would rather max out my gains on test only for as long as possible, before i add another anabolic , just because i feel test is safe, i feel great on it and i have great gains..i agree! again i would love to hear your opinion on adding another anabolic.

Reload
500mg test e /week
25mg dbol /daily (or leave this out?) leave out d-bol but increase test to 750 mgs per week
deload
250mg test e /week
reload
750mg test e /week
40mg dbol /daily (and add dbol at 25mg daily here?) keep test at 750 mgs per week and 25 mgs of d-bol daily
also do you believe there is any correlation between estrogen and acne? I see some mods on boards say that running an ai like arimidex at 0.25mg eod can help if your prone to acne like myself, (but not gyno! Thank god!!). I just can't see how an ai would help because isn't acne androgen related?if you are prone to acne your going to get it regardless if you use an ai or not!
thanks!

[Ronnie Rowland]

Great thread Ron... So many pages I can't read it all haha. I'm sure this has been asked before, but could you lay out an example for a first time AAS user. Should the cycles last no longer than 20 weeks? Is it better to bridge during the deload or run a pct?

Like TITAN suggested you need to become more educated through reading before cycling. This thread is a lot to absorb but well worth your time because you'll become well educated. Knowledge is power! And no you should not come off test during 2 week deloads!

[Ronnie Rowland]

Okay thanks man I'll buckle down and try to digest as much as I can .. Ya that's I thought to, but I remember reading somewhere on this thread to not run short esters. You can run both short and/or long esters. Keeep in mind all orals are short esters! I generally recommend long acting test esters over short only to prevent pinning so frequently but test is test and all esters work great! How long is your usually pct? 4 weeks?4-6 weeks

[Ronnie Rowland]

How is that for you?

It's the best way to go by far if you do not want children!

[Ronnie Rowland]

hi ronnie.

I have few questions...

Your best pct suggestion waslease make note of this: for the very best pct possible (if you can afford it) i recommend the following: Hcg taken at 2500 ius every other day for 3-4 weeks, clomid at 50 mgs taken twice a day for 3-4 weeks and nolvadex 20 mgs for 3-4 weeks. However, running hcg alone works fine for a lot of people, especially those not using an anti-es during cycle. If you are running an anti-es on cycle then you need it during the pct! Also, even though clomid helpssome with pct if it causes you to have severe emotional stress i feel it should be avoided.

this was said in the hcg description, here in the steroidcom:



I also run clomid and nolva in my pct. I have pretty good idea about it already: 100 clomid daily + 20mg nolva, for 4 wks.

edit: Ok update on this hcg/pct: I've realised that using hcg in pct is not as simple, as i thought. You won't just chunk them in like pills.
Also, i've read some 8 more hours of this thread and in the future i will be running nolva+hcg pct, with 2x5000ui hcg for 2 weeks.

Edit2: Looks like i have now good idea about hcg mixing as well, after doing full day of research... If i keep this up, i will run out of questions! :d
i plan to buy 2x5000iu and put 10000iu divided into 5 syringes (to fridge) and inject 2000iu every other day, for 10 days.(or 1000iu eod for 20 days better?)

my new plan for the first cycle is the following:
1-8 week: 500mg/susta (reload/12 sets each musclegrp, around 8-10 reps per set) (250mg/ml, twice per week)
9-10 week: 250mg/susta(deload/higher repcount(15)/only 6 sets)
11-18 week: 750mg/susta (reload/12 sets, around 8-10 reps) (250mg/ml three times per week)
11-18 week: 300mg/deca (reload/12 sets, around 8-10 reps) (300mg/ml once per week)
19-20 week: 250mg/susta(deload/more reps (15)/less sets)
21-24 pct, then start over looks good but i would increase sustanon to 750 mgs weekly during that first reload and 1 gram during second reload.keep deca at 300 mgs during second reload!

do you think it could be done in following way?:
In weeks 11-18, inject 500mg in 2ml of susta in monday morning, then inject 250mg of susta with 300mg of deca (2ml total here too)in the same syringe, in thursday evening? Totalling 2 injections per week also in weeks 11-18. sustanon neeed to be injected 3 times per week to gain the most benefits but you could do it only twice if desired!
next cycle after that(and more or less my norm cycle then):
1-4 week: Dbol 50mg/ed
1-8 week: 750mg/susta (put d-bol at weeks 4-8 not 1-4)
9-10 week: 250mg/susta
11-14 week dbol 50mg/ed (put d-bol at weeks 15-18 not 11-14)
11-18 week: 750mg/susta
11-18 week: 300mg/deca
19-20 week: 250mg/susta
21-24 pct


i have been lifting for 3-4 years with very good program(i did some working out before that, but not so seriously), 5 times a week, 2 musclegroups per day, very good diet for the last year, but now hitting plateau. Before this very good progress. I did something very similar to your tst system, doing some 2 months of hard training, then letting things settle down, or even took week break, and then ghoing back at "maximum attack", and this "slingshotting" has really worked for me. I've gained some 15 kilograms(33 pounds) in just last 2-3 years and none of it is fat. Some say that that much is not even possible, as natural bb!great work!i want to see how this same idea works with steroids , and using your instructions. Thanks for all the info, this sounds like a great system!
I've used a lot of dropsets and i get good pump with them. I need more strength and hope that using more straight sets and test will help. I have excellent form and i believe to have good genetics too(symmetry more or less just perfect, feeling lucky!), but don't know how i react to steroids, and how much size i can get with great program/diet/rest/steroids. Not aiming for competitions, but for perfect body and max size.

Ps. I am 40 years old, and have done sports all my life. I'm in great shape and even ran half marathon 21km last year(it was very hard, since i already had too much mass. Yes, i walked a lot...). Now i have way too much muscle mass for long runs. I stick to some 2km, twice per week, for cardio.beware of hurting your knees!
my cholesterol levels are running a bit high. Any good tips how to get that down a bit?NOTE: cardio at 20 minutes 3 times per week, a clean diet voided of cholesterol, saturated fats and sugar carbs, keep body fat levels relatively low, take it easy on the oral steroids, avoid aromatase inhibitors as they decrease some of the beneficial properties of estrogen on cholesterol values. Also, eat and drink liquid egg whites for most of your protein as they do not contain cholesterol like meat. i weight only 170+lbs(78kilos), but i am only 5'0" tall(165cm), and i am almost in "competition" form now, very low in bodyfat. I have been "eating like crazy", but i don't get a lot of bodyfat. How ever in the future i will decrease my workload in my main job, and try to eat more often during the day. For now i've tried to eat every 4 hours, but sometimes it slips to 5-6 hours, because i've done 16 hour workdays every now and then. drink some egg whites mixed with carb masters yogurt(krogers brand) which takes no time at all to down

[Ronnie Rowland]

ronnie,
i just started the blast and cruise method. I'm 51 and been on trt since 1994. I've got a question about using an ai during the cruise portion. My last 8 week blast consisted of 750 mg. Of test e per week, 30-40 mg dbol per day the first 4 weeks. 30 mg on non workout days and 40 mg on workout days. Ai was liquidex at .25 mg eod. This kept my e2 great as confirmed by bw. I am returning to my normal trt dose of 200 mg test e per week for the cruise. What are your recommendations for an ai during the cruise / normal trt dosage? .25 mgs of adex every third day instead of eod!

thanks for all the help.

Hi Ronnie, its embarrasing to write this but my sex drive has been dead for 12 weeks or so, on my 3rd cycle. Taking testoterone only at 750mg a week.
Have not taken any Ai's since I only have acne,puffy nipples, little sensitive, also the head of my penis is sensitive. Have tried sex supplements, Nothing. Started taking proviron 2 weeks ago, started with 50mg a day for a week, then bumped it up to 100mg a day second week. Have any idea what is going on? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am very sorry to hear this and I have a few questions as it's impossible to give a direct answer other wise. Are you getting your test from the same soruce and was your sex drive good on this same test 12 weeks prior? Also, have you been running any orals, tren or deca ? I have three thoughts and in this particular order: 1) You have got hold of some bunk test and proviron. 2) You have puffy nipples which tells me you might have high prolactin levels and you need some cabergoline. The proviron would lower estrogen levels and increase androgen levels enough to increase sex drive) 3) You have high blood pressure which decreases blood flow to the penis-hence decreasing sex drive and your ability to get an erection.

[daniel20]

Hey ronnie, lately I've been having trouble getting a good pump and "feeling" my lats while training back.

Back day goes:
3 sets of neutral/underhand grip pull-ups (feel lats here!)
3 sets of wide grip pulldowns (then less)
3 sets of barbell rows (then less)
3 sets of cable rows (better)
2 sets deadlifts (always get good lower back pump from this!)

Is there any advice you can give on these exercises?? Like form etc.

big ron...pros...n..cons of ..nolvadex..vs..letrozole???

[b].QUOTE=Ronnie Rowland;6036237][b]Everyone please make note of this: Nolvadex is best to run on an as needed basis for males (females do best on nolvadex all the way through a contest prep). Nolvadex lowers igf-1 levels and gh levels which lowers the effectiveness of all steroids . However, nolvadex can actually improve your lipids. Letro is best used the last 2 weeks for a show or if you have severe gyno that nothing else will touch. It's just way too strong with too many side effects. Letro will not lower igf-levels like nolvadex but it will destroy your libido, joints, lipid levels,mood, energy output and of course gyno.

For long term use I recommend proviron or better yet masterone. Masterone should be your first choice as it's the only one that builds muscle while simultaneously lowering estrogen levels, yet not in excess! If masterone or proviron are not strong enough to prevent gyno then I would go with aromasin as it's more user friendly on a long term basis for males than letro, arimidex and nolvadex and does not cause an estrogen rebound upon cessation, but it's pricey!

Letro and Nolvadex are clearly both used to reduce estrogen and can be practically eliminated by using letro. Drugs like letro, adex and aromasin stops the conversion of testosterone to estrogen while Nolvadex blocks estrogen from binding.When you block too much estrogen you increase your odds for osteoporosis (something you want to avoid at all cost!)

[slowpoison]

if im taking proviron to prevent gyno frm the start, wat is the usual dosage that will not supress growth?

[Kenlie]

Thanks Ronnie for your advices. I will decrease the amount of meat I eat, and increase the eggwhites. I already suspected it was from too much meat, thanks for confirming this.

How ever, I would still like to know your view on this:

I plan to buy 2x5000iu and put 10000iu divided into 5 syringes (to fridge) and inject 2000iu every other day, for 10 days.(or 1000iu eod for 20 days better?)

I think that using 1000iu for longer time would be better, because injecting 2000iu eod would last only 9 days total?

[QUOTE=gonebluffn;6035239]Ronnie you have definately changed my physiquenI love your sling shot method but I only done 24 weeks with incredible results and I have regular blood work I have low T but last dr visit he said my liver enzymes were considerably high other than that healthy as can be ive started taking milk thistle but not sure that will solve the problem and I really dont want to come off do you recomend going ahead and running pct and staying off a couple months or just cut back to maybe 250 mg test a week. Just working out in general causes elevated enzymes so I do not think there is anything to be alarmed about unless you are running halotestin or other potent orals non-stop. Test is not going to put a noticeable strain on the liver at the dosages you are running. Some people like milk thistle while others feel sick on it, I never liked it personally. Last cycle 750 mg tren e 500 mg sust clen t3 2 on 2 off for six weeks and one more question I ve read so much about not running two nor19s together but tren slows my libido dramaticly and ive done a deca only cycle and my libido was through the roof even more so than when i ran with test I would like to split my tren and deca to 400 mg each and 5to 600 mg of test ive tried raising test but had no libido affect just increased sides of other compounds .thanks for the info sorry so long If your sex drive went up on deca in the past it could be that you were actually sold test but I have seen a few people have no issues while on deca. Everyone reacts a bit differently. You certainly need to be running cabergoline while on deca and/or tren if your libido is dropping and I do not recommend combining two nor19's unless you are one of these rare people who can tolerate it sexually. You might want to try test/masterone/deca and leave out the tren since masterone acts as a mild anti-estrogen and it does not convert to progesterone like tren. Some do much better sexually with that combo! /QUOTE]above

Hey ronnie, lately I've been having trouble getting a good pump and "feeling" my lats while training back.

Back day goes:
3 sets of neutral/underhand grip pull-ups (feel lats here!)
3 sets of wide grip pulldowns (then less) I am the same with this exercise and figured out one need to use a dual cable Life Fitness pulldown machine with 2 handles instead of using the standard bar. This provides a better range of motion and it helps takes the biceps/forearms out of the movement!
3 sets of barbell rows (then less Skip barbell rows and use a dual cable row machine with 2 handles or use a life fitness seated row machine, set seat down low as it will go and use the side grip.
3 sets of cable rows (better)
2 sets deadlifts (always get good lower back pump from this!)

Is there any advice you can give on these exercises?? Like form etc.Use less weight and do the exercise slower while getting a better squeeze.
Thanks!

if im taking proviron to prevent gyno frm the start, wat is the usual dosage that will not supress growth?

Proviron will not reduce estrogen levels to the point of retarding growth like letrozole or nolvadex can do. You don't need massive amounts of estrogen to make gains and having too much estogen is not healthy. Having enough estrogen present is key for all functions! Try 50 mgs per day. I have found masterone to be more effective at controlling estrogen than proviron but the anti-estrogenic properties of both proviron and masterone have demonstrated similar activity. For example: Proviron and Masteron have been successfully used as therapies for gynecomastia and breast cancer due to their mild anti-estrogenic effect but only masterone increases muscle mas so spedning your money on that drug is always advisable! A stronger estrogen reducing effect from drugs such as aromasin or even letro may be required given these two drugs do not control your gyno but let's hope not because they are very harsh on the human body. Also, too much prolactin can cause gyno which requires cabergoline. I've never had gyno or too high of estrogen but I have had issues with prolactin levels and I take caber to fix that problem.

[Ronnie Rowland]

damn..both of you going through ...hell... this year..tell your wife we wish her the best...surprised to seee...they had a cast.. big enough for her leg..lmao!!!

Well, they actually had to split her cast open 4 day post surgery because it became too small with the additonal swelling involved..lol

[Ronnie Rowland]

Hey Ron, what do you recommend when coming out of a 12 week cut (not contest prep)? would you say a deload is needed before going onto a reload or just go straight from the cut to a reload? You would defintely need a 2 week deload before starting your 8 week reload!
Thanks

[Ronnie Rowland]

hi ronnie! I was reading through your thread and it really caught my attention, as not only does it makes complete sense, but it also seems to produce great results in terms of size.
What do you think about running 2 19 nors during one cycle? it's fine to run 2 -19 nors given it does not shut you down sexually. That's really the main draw back. The second drawback would be getting progesterone related gyno but that's a very individualisitc thing as well. i was thinking about running npp (i don't mind pinning more frequently it really doesn't bother me i kinda like it actually) and tren e in the same cycle. I have ran tren several times before with no problems at all. npp is your best bet to run with tren because it will get out of your system in a week verses 3 weeks with deca durabolin given sexual side effects rear their ugly head.i will be running caber eod at .50 and aromasin 12.5 ed and have letro on hand.
Also do you think running hcg during reload 2x 250mg per week then 1250mg of hcg eod during deload is a good idea since i'm running 2 19 nors? Or how should i run it exactly for better results and keeping my balls safe? since you are combining 2-19 nors i think your plan is very logical just to be on the safe side!
i plan on running this cycle for 22 weeks then pct for 6 weeks, how long do you think i should stay off gear after this cycle before i jump back on if i'm trying to play it safe?
10 weeks including pct or more?10 week is a good plan as long as you feel fully recoverd

another question is should i run my test at maintenance around 300 a week and run tren at 600 a week since they both fight for the same receptor and tren is the stronger one?that will be fine given your situation
i want to run two 19 nors at the same time during my first reload. I have ran tren a at 75ed and sust 500 weekly and noticed more sides when i increased the sust so i lowered it and increased tren 100ed and sust at 500 with no sides.

I plan on keeping on eating 330grams of protein, 250 grams carbs, 65 grams of fats during reload (just an example) i'm around 175, but will adjust my diet according to my weight before i start the cycle in july.
And 230 grams of protein, 300 grams of carbs, 85 grams of fat (during deload)




here is my planned cycle and workouts please tell me what i should change and or what you recommend i really want to stick with the 10 wk reload , 2 wk deload 8 wk reload 2 wk reload, then pct for 4-6 weeks

I just started deca 250 and 250 testo gel and im in my 3rd week. still have 7 to go. I already started feeling sensitive around the nipple area and felt soreness today on my right side. is better to start taking nolva during to prevent from gyno or would guys recommend ai or letro? please advice. thanks...I would recommend low doses of aromasin along with masterone for long term use given you have tried masterone alone and was unsuccesful with that drug. A good plan would be to keep aromasin on hand in case it flares up and use only masterone to control some of that estrogen because masterone is more user friendly and you are spending your money well as it is the only anti-e that builds muscle. If masterone alone is not strong enough then you can add in less arimidex than it you use arimidex alone-hence less side effects! Also, drugs like testosterone alone possesses minimal anabolic properties. By increasing the density of androgen receptors, estrogens render the muscles much more sensitive to testosterone but we don't want too much estrogen or we get gyno, etc.

[Ronnie Rowland]

[QUOTE=VASCULAR VINCE;6034890]Big ronnie....taking nolvadex .. Does it make you more prone to gyno..in future??? No one is certain either way from what I have read. I would not use nolvadex long term as a male because while it blocks estrogen receptors at some sites it can stimulate them at other sites. Therefore, while nolvadex may be helping get rid of gyno it could be hurting your health if used on a long term basis.

I can also tell you that nolvadex has been suggested to behave as estrogens in skeletal muscles which is not good. Estrogen is believed to help protect muscle cells from damage due to hard training which means you would have to train harder to damage yor muscles. It also lowers IGF-levels which is a key compnonet in muscle growth!

One problem with the newer anti-es like arimidex is after long term use they can affect blood pressure and blood mineral content. This makes you more prone to getting high blood pressure and osteoporosis (weak bones) later dowen the road. Some of these drugs can put a strain on the liver as well.

[Kenlie]

Finally I've read ALL 101 pages of this thread, and it took me 2 weeks, but I want to give a big applaud to Ronnie for all the advices and information here. I have so much more understanding of how these things work, and what is the HEALTHIEST and at the same time very effective way to start using steroids .
I've decided to not go as far and start using tren (even later), but I will go for Test Enan(or susta), with Deca , and will give some dbol a try later(not large amounts). Also, I had no idea that Hcg was so important in PCT and now I just today ordered it for my pct. Really glad I did the reading, because I want kids in the future.

What I find interesting now, that after reading this thread, I find myself interested about adding masteron in some point, as it sounds like it could add some positives.
Also, little bit puzzled of what part of the cycle should I add it... I'll so some research of this...

So, once again thanks Ronnie, you are true specialist and expert in this area.

[The Titan99]

Hey Ron, what's the difference between caber and prami and which do you prefer/recommend? I just can't seem to get my hand on caber anymore so I got a couple of bottles of prami instead.

[JohnnnyBlazzze]

Hey Ronnie,

Long time reader been reading all the materiel you have posted up on this site. I always revert back to your thread when I find myself hitting plateaus.

I've seen a couple questions on here in regards to AAS and cutting..

I'm curious as to what your experience or input is on running a cycle with main goal being to cut BF% and eating in a caloric deficient? Is it useless to eat a caloric deficient diet while on cycle? Or does it have it's benefits?

If so, How would one go about in his/her training split and would you do more or less reps/sets then compared to if you were bulking?

Thanks Ronnie!

[Kenlie]

Ok, I've decided not to run nolva during the slingshot cycle, but I have it already "on hand" in case I get gyno.
I still haven't run my first cycle, yet.

BUT, I read from gyno thread that nolva would not do anything to stop/prevent gyno after first signs, if it appears. And they instructed to run letro instead, saying that it could actually remove the possible lump, if used right away, after signs.
However I've read elsewhere that only surgery can remove the lump.

What is your view on having letro on hand, instead of nolva? You haven't really talked much about letro, so I'd like to know your view on it? There a good reason why NOT use letro?

[Ronnie Rowland]

[QUOTE=Kenlie;6036980]Thanks Ronnie for your advices. I will decrease the amount of meat I eat, and increase the eggwhites. I already suspected it was from too much meat, thanks for confirming this.

This is what I built up for my cycle using your Deload/Reload main goal here is cutting my BF% to sub 10% and maintaining an possibly gaining some size. I've ran 2 cycles in the past each length only 8 weeks of Prop. This would be my first run with the slingshot method.


Stats -

26
5'11
185
14% BF

Proposed Reload/Deload -

Phase 1

(Reload) Weeks 1-8

500mg Test E/wk

(Deload) Weeks 9-10

250mg Test E/wk

Phase 2

(Reload) Weeks 11-18

500mg Test E/wk
100mg Injectable Winstrol EOD

(Deload) Weeks 19-20

250mg Test E/wk
50mg Injectable Winstrol EOD

*I also have T3/Clen on hand, how would you incorporate this? T3 makes me feel pretty lethargic even at 50mg. Ramp up clen 20mcg every 2 weeks for 8 weeks? Goal is to have Abs as defined as possible.


PCT -

Weeks 21-22 - HCG 2500iu EOD ( Can I run the HCG directly after my last pin of Test E or should I wait the 14 days for the Test to clear?)
Weeks 22-25 - Nolva at 40/20/20/20, Clomid - 100/50/50/50

I also have A-Dex on hand, would you just wait until gyno signs to start using it or incorporate it into my PCT? Also noticed in some other posts you said not to use Nolva if you're not running an anti-e during cycle, would I just run the Nolva and the A-Dex the week after for estro rebound?

Diet -

I consider myself an Endomorph, I tend to gain with ease but have to bust my ass just to loose a little.

Going to follow your carb/cal cycling slingshot during cycle as well.

Since main goal is cutting here, would 1 carb up day be more beneficial vice 2?

RELOAD
Sunday/Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday - 270g Protein, 105g Carbs, 75g Fats(lower the fats?)
Wednesday/Saturday - 180g Protein, 350g Carbs, 25g Fats(To many carbs?)

On deloads the macros would remain the same except bring Protein down to 200g and add the aditional to fats and some carbs so would look like this on Deload

DELOAD

Sunday/Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday - 180g Protein, 105g Carbs, 105g Fats
Wednesday/Saturday - 180g Protein, 350g Carbs, 25g Fats

Do I have a good understanding of the slingshot diet to lower BF% while adding LBM? Granted macro choices related to my stats (185 5'11 14%BF) Goal is to have abs as defined as possible, are these macros in the right ballpark compared to my stats?

For most BF% loss what do you think of Intermittent Fasting diet with these macros(Eating all of it within a 4-6 hour window.) Or would just a regular eating throughout the day diet be more beneficial?

This is what I have built for my training split

RELOAD

1 - Chest, Abs
2 - Delts, Traps
3 - Back, Abs
4 - OFF
5 - Bi's, Tri's, Abs
6 - Legs
7 - OFF

10-12 Sets/6-8 Reps High Volume

Abs will be 6 sets 15-20reps (Lower reps?)


DELOAD

Same Split

4-6 Sets/10-15 Reps Low Volume

Noticed in another post you mentioned to alternate weeks of 1 week 10-12 Sets 6-8 Reps High Volume and 2nd week 4-6 Sets 10-15 Reps Low Volume then repeat. Isn't this the same as Reload/Deload? Or would you just stick to plan I posted above all 8 weeks then lower sets and volume only in deloads?

This is basically everything I've gathered from your reads and I hope I got it all. It's not to detailed but I just want to make sure I'm understanding everything. Appreciate everything you have provided and helped with on here, Great stuff.

Looking forward to hearing back from you Ronnie
