[QUOTE=briansvk;6350656]Hi Ronnie.
I have read your threads about slingshot training and I am really interested in trying these principles during my next offseason. On 13.4.2013 I have national competition here and next year will be last junior year for me so I want to qualify for Europe or World championship 2014. Hopefully slingshot training will help me to achieve this. But I have few questions I have to ask, because I do not fully understand some principnes.
Starting with the training. Last year I have been training 3+1 so 3 days training with 1 day rest. During two of these three day "training units" I trainer full body, but chest, delts and back has been trained twice, arms and legs once. This is because I have very good genetics for arms and legs, but lacking chest and back and this principle brought results for me, so may I use similar principle for slingshot? Yes you can! Some people find that training their weak areas respond best to training them very intense only once a week, while others do best training their weak areas twice a week. It's an individualistic matter.
For example: legs, chest+back, delts, free day, chest+back, delts, arms, free day, repeat.
During 8 week RELOAD phase I would train 2 heavy exercise with 4 working sets (6-8 reps.) and one lighter exercise (10-15 reps.) for each muscle group. Afterwards during DELOAD phase the split remains the same, but I would reduce training volume to two exercise with 3 sets each, one heavy one lighter for each muscle group. How does this sound so far? If you are doing twice a week muscle group training, I would not exceed over 6 work sets per workout for muscle groups like the biceps,triceps, quads, calves, hams and chest. Delts and back are a little different. For exampe you have back width muscles which could be compared to the quads and back thickness muscles that could be compared to the hamstrings. So for back you can do a total of 6 sets for lat width and 6 sets for lat thickness twice a week. That's a total of 24 sets for lats weekly. However, this can cause over-training for some and more is not always better. I also seperate the anterior and medial head of the delts from the rear delts. The reason being is when you do exercises like dumbbell shoulder preses you are working both the front and side heads of the delts (more front than the sides). And of course lateral raises work the side head only. The rear head only gets worked with rows and reverse flyes and I like to seperate those areas. You also have to be careful not to over-train your shoulders to prevent rotator cuff injury. A training split like 2 days on/1 day off or 3 days on/2 days off will help prevent over-training better than 3 days on/1 day off.
Ok lets move on... supplementation and AS:
Talking about supplements I am using whey protein (with added maltodextrin after training), glutamine and BCAAs all year long. Vitamines and minerals are added if needed.
AS:
last year I did according to principle heavy cycle and bridging. Example is here: http://forums.steroid.com/showthread...es-in-between) I think you have seen this before.
I would like to edit this to match slingshot principles. But the main question I have here is: If I will be using for example Test E with Boldenone (Equipoise ) or trenbolone hexa, which all are long esters.. How do I reduce the AS use during the DELOAD phase? Just back off to 250 mgs of test-e weekly for those two weeks.
For example I will be using 1g Test E/week (this will be base) with 500mg EQ/week for 8 weeks as RELOAD phase. You desperately need to add tren-e in addition to test-e and eq if you want to compete at a national level. Than the DELOAD come, so I should reduce AS use for example to 500mg test E/week only... But will this have ANY effect at all? yes! Speaking of long esters, so the levels will hardly drop during those 2 DELOAD weeks. Or am I getting something wrong?
Or, to get full shocking effect for the body for the next RELOAD I will bring test back UP to 1g/week and replace second ester for example with tren hexa? Or Deca ? Would it be any better comparing to continue as previous reload with 1g Test E/week with 500mg EQ/week for another 8 weeks? 1 gram of test, 500 mgs of eq and 300 mgs of tren-e weekly is a solid first reload cycle. A solid second cycle is 1 gram of test, 1 gram of eq and 500 mgs of tren. I would also recommend adding 300 mgs of masterone weekly to each reload in order to keep estogen levels lower.
I totally understand how this works with short esters or orals for example 1g test E as base with TREN ace or something during reload and drop to 500mg test E for deload, so the short esters will be cleared from body in 2-3 days and the true nature of deload will be accomplished. But the long esters confuse me. Okay, you need to understand that long acting esters kick in just as fast as short acting esters but they just don't peak as high upfront. You don't want complete clearance of anabolics during deloads as it's too much hormonal fluctuation-hence causing anxiety, depression, etc.
And last question.. Would it be a good idea to run test E for 1g/week during reload and 500 or 400mg/week during deload all year long? Or would it be better approach to run for example like this: [B]If you try to micro manage too much it's not beneficial. Honestly, if you are trying to compete at a natitonal level, then your dosages are going to have to be high enough on the reload to dictate using 300-500 mgs of test when deloading. The cycles you have listed are fine for recreational bodybuilders but won't get you to the nationals and do well IMO. Most run TEST/TREN/D-BOL OR ANDROL AT HIGH DOSES TO GAIN SIZE. The next step is GH then SLIN.[/B].
1st reload:
1g/week test E
500mg/week EQ
1st deload
400mg/week test E
2nd reload
test E back to 1g/week
500mg/week Tren ace
2nd deload
50mg test prop/EOD
3rd reload
100mg test prop/EOD
winstrol or drostanolone or primobolan or something milder
3rd deload
50mg test prop/EOD
4th reload
1g/week test E again or greater doses again
My basic idea in this principle would be to let the body rest a bit for one reload/deload round from strong anabolics. And repeat this for example like I wrote 2 heavy reload/deload cycles following one milder. What do you think about this. Thanks a lot for your opinion. I woud keep it simple and reload hard and deload with only 250 mgs of test if you use low dosed reloads or use 500 mgs of test if you reload using high doses of test,eq, and tren![/QUOTE]aboveLast edited by Ronnie Rowland; 01-27-2013 at 07:58 PM.

[QUOTE=rblue;6352995]Ron, sorry if you covered this before but I cant find it. If I'm staying on year round do I need hcg ? I'm 50 did my first cycle at 48,never used hcg. I'm on my second deload now and plan on going up to at least a gram of test e and 600mg of deca on my next reload. Also you stated that ai use should be limited but others on this forum said that ai use is a must. I know when I take adex my joints ache from it.Thanks for your information and knowledge, greatly appreciated. My joints ache like crazy on new generation anti-es but do great on Masterone![/QUOTE]Shoot me a pm for hcg supplier.

Ronnie,
I'm trying your method and I've just started my second reload. I was skeptical about my receptors being ready, but after 2-3 weeks on a low Test 250 dose, they were.
A question I have for you that's not completely related to this is about treating gyno while on a blast. I'm not 100% sure I have gyno, but feel I might. So on this reload I'm using Stane as an AI and running Ralox at 80 mg's a day just in case. Will this treat it while on cycle if in fact I do have gyno? Two, will this hinder my gains in any way, and should I wait until my blast is over to try to treat and just use an AI the entire time to keep from progressing?
I really like the program, and have saw a big improvement over the last 12 weeks. I really appreciate all the insight, as it's been instrumental in getting this 37 year old to looking and feeling right....

I have been using HCG for almost a month now during my Test/Var/Mast cycle. It says on the bottle that it expires after 30 days once opened. I still have a fair amount left. I keep it in fridge. Does it loose potency after 30 days mark or can I keep on using it ?
-
Hey Ron,
I've had some personal set backs (thanks for being there for me man) and suffice it to say my diet has consisted of balogna, cheese, white bread, pizza, beer, vodka, valium etc. I think I'm very close to the end of my cycle (Test E & P/NPP/Masteron /Proviron ). I've not trained or eaten anything healthy in 10 or more days and generally feel like hell on all levels (as you know). I'm going to try to go back to the gym tomorrow. Keeping in mind I also had my leg hairline fractured about 8 weeks ago, would you suggest a full deload, a prime (I feel like I've done that), or move right along to Test A/Tren A/Masteron P/Tbol. I feel like I could really use the new cycle right now and I don't really need too much spare time on my hands, then again I'm not really trusting my own judgement these days...
-
I think you should just do a test only cycle for now (the feel good cycle) until this tough time passes. Try 1 gram of test per week and add 50 mgs of proviron daily to keep e2 levels in check. Let 's just get you back on the saddle and riding again before racing.
-
Good idea as always Ron. Last thing I need now is big dose of Tren sleeplessness right? 1 quick one though. I just finished 2 grams of Test, 1000 Test E and 1000 Test P, 900 Mast P and 900 NPP. Are you sure 1 gram is cool? I've been reloading/deloading for 18 months now. Going to start your suggestion now by just leaving the Test E and dropping everything but the Proviron if you don't suggest a higher dose. Thanks a million man.
BTW, I have enough Masteron E to float a battleship.Last edited by The Titan99; 01-30-2013 at 10:34 AM.

Hi Ronnie, I have read your whole article and it is pretty enlightening to say the least. Its nothing like what I have been told time and time again. Thanks very much. I would just like to ask. I am 33 years old, 6ft tall 180 lbs and am getting ready to start supplementing with aas for the first time. What would you suggest exactly to do for me as I obviously need to gain mass.
I have been reading and researching for over a year now before I decided to do it. I dont want to yo yo up and down like my friends do who are not knowledgeable . I really want to make sure I do this correctly and efficiently. What would the first 6 mos look like cycle wise if you were me? thanks in advance,

All right, so if I got this right...
According to this principle it is totally all right to run lets say 1g-1,5g/week of test ALL YEAR LONG? With 500mg-1g EQ + some Tren or drostanolone... Of course with deload breaks every 8 weeks for 2 weeks... ??? There is no need to drop test to lower doses for more than two weeks? Wont the body adapt to this dose and respond with more sides and less muscle building effect? Should the accompanying drugs be changes at least every two reloads? Or how often? Above you wrote an example for first and second reload, so third should contain EQ/tren again or it is better to switch? I am a little bit concerned about sides - running tren so long etc.. (maybe it is not a problem, I just want statement from experienced person ).
Another question... Slin usage.. During bulking reloads it is clear, but should slin be usen during deloads? Or it should be omitted during deloads?

Got it. Thanks alot. Am implementing your plan immediately.

Wont the body adapt to this dose and respond with more sides and less muscle building effect? 2 weeks is enough. Yo-Yoing off and on is hard on your immune, endocrine system, mind, joints, etc. Only go off for longer than 2 weeks every 6 months. 6 weeks off evey 6 months ia a good plan IMO for national level competitors! Should the accompanying drugs be changes at least every two reloads? Not really because consistency with anabolics, training and nutrition are what counts most,but I feel it's good practice to alternate between cycles of HIGH TEST/LOW TREN and HIGH TREN/LOW TEST given you can handle the side effects of high tren. Both drugs have their pros and cons! Or how often? Above you wrote an example for first and second reload, so third should contain EQ/tren again or it is better to switch? I am a little bit concerned about sides - running tren so long etc.. (maybe it is not a problem, I just want statement from experienced person )Tren, like Test can be used year round. After 6 months I would back off to 1/2cc of test e or c once a week and possibly keep a 1/2cc tren e with it to reset myostatin levels, etc. It's the Orals I would be concerned with so use them at the lowest dosage possible and use then every other reload and mostly when prepping for a show. Another thing is how your body does on tren verses test. Some do better using high amounts of test almost year round but can only handle small dosages of tren. Likewise, some do better using high dosages of tren almost year round and keep their test at small amounts-such as 1/2 to 1cc weekly. On occasion some reload using both high dosages of test and tren and just suffer through more side effects. It's going to be up to you to find out which scenario works best for your particular body chemistry. Take the route that produces the least sides. It's hard to beat test and tren for safe gains. Throw in some Masterone or proviron for estrogen control and to help release more "free test" and you will do better. Not a fan of running eq year round unless your hematocrit levels remain in check.
Another question... Slin usage.. During bulking reloads it is clear, but should slin be usen during deloads? Or it should be omitted during deloads? Insulin should be dropped during deloads! But, I would keep GH in all year round if you could afford it.[/QUOTE]AboveLast edited by Ronnie Rowland; 02-01-2013 at 06:54 PM.

Hey Ronnie,
I am in the middle of my 3rd cycle 750mg test e and 400mg deca cycle (right now I’ve reached to 1g test e and 500 deca last wk). I have completed 12wks and the planned cycle was to take this cycle up to 20wks or even a bit more (that’s non STS), but now I have noticed that I hit a plateau. Diet is good, but having a hard time in maintaining fat. My body bulks really well when I eat fatty food. Tried high protein/high carb/low fat and high protein/moderate carb/high fat and my body responds better to higher fats better. Using 1-1.5IU of HGH to burn fat or at least maintain fat. I am having a hard time maintaining belly size even when. My stomach sticks out further every meal. My appetite is crazy. I can eat a whole meal and after 45mins I am craving for sweets or another meal. My TSH is within range but closer to the hyper end. Cardio is 30mins on workout days. Any longer and I get lactic acid in my front legs
Since I have other questions I will try to make it much easier for you to read:
1-During reload/deload period what is the recommended rest/break time taken between sets? 1 min? or maybe more? I hear people say don’t follow timing and listen to your heart rate or even better to monitor it.
2- Since I’m already on cycle I started with deload right now so I can get into the STS schedule. Since I was lifting hard and dosage were high for me this cycle decided to jump into the deload phase instead of the reload. Now should I deload using 250mg test or 500mg?
3- When I am back to reload (which will be my 1st) should I go back to deca or switch to another AAS? This is what I have with me Test E, Tren E, Mast E, EQ, Deca. All brewed and dosed properly. I even have short ester gear such as test p and dbol , but I like to do long estered gear this cycle just for simplicity.
4- Which routine looks better when bulking and muscle recovery? And does the rest days look fine?
A:
sat-chest
sun-triceps/biceps, calves
mon- shoulder, traps
tues- Back
wed- legs
thurs- off
frid-off
or
B
sat-chest/biceps
sun-shoulder, traps
mon- legs
tues- off
wed- back, triceps
thurs- off
fri- off
5- How would you follow the 6-12 sets rule if a particular day is a chest/bicep day? Just curious. Would it look like 3 chest exercises (4 sets each) and 3 biceps exercises (4 sets each)? now I know you stated 6-12 sets in the reload phase for each muscle group, but if you noticed that combo above shows two muscle groups, so if I follow the given example the total number of sets that day would be 12 chest sets + 12 bicep sets giving a total of 24 sets that day, which I have a feeling will burn me out. How to overcome this?
Looking forward to give the STS reload a try

proviron ...or..masterone best????with test???

02-05-2013, 12:48 AM #4821
"...think of this compound is as something like "Oral Masteron ."
Is is basicly the same. And I would favor masterone (drostanolone propionate ).

Hey Ron,
Thought I'd update you on my melanotan II trial. It works fantastically. Tanning is excellent with no burn whatsoever. Libido goes through the roof for both me and my girl (she's back BTW!!). She's been gone for 3 weeks as you know so that probably skewed the test results in that regard. Aside from that absolutely no side effects at all. From what I read there are a lot of fakes out there, but using a North American company with a good rep and a good money back guarantee goes a long way towards a quality product. Anyway, if you get a good one, the stuff is great!!
Quick question though. What's the least amount of Deca you can use in order to get the joint benefits it provides? Also could you just inject that once a week for this purpose.

Ronnie,
I did ask you about a workout routine, but last week I decided to dedicate each big muscle group alone and it seems to work for me. My chest is a bit behind compared to the other muscle groups so I decided to go with this plan:
Day 1 - Chest and Calves
Day 2 - Back
Day 3 - legs
Day 4 - Shoulder
Day 5 - Triceps, Biceps and shrugs
Day 6 - Off
Day 7 - Off
Anything wrong with the routine above? Or you think I should take a day off in between? I want to make sure I can take my gym off days during the weekend
I have a couple of days left to complete my deload and since I have Test E, Dbol , Mast E, Tren E, Eq and Deca
How should my dosages for the reload be for bulking that is? I know it’s not safe to take all of the above together, but I tried deca and honestly I wasn’t impressed and don’t know if tren is going to help me in gaining more weight? I believe you recommend test/tren/mast and came up with this:
1g Test E, 400mgs Tren E, 300mgs Mast ELast edited by kml999; 02-12-2013 at 08:09 AM.

Hey big Ron!
i know you are not a fan of volume training or twice a week training, but since i have a training partner for my next reload and deload. I really wanna focus on a frank Zane style routine. 3 on 1 off so body parts will be getting worked twice a week but using 75% of rep maxes weight. and 5 second negatives on the down phase. In setting up a volume style routine, should i be focused more or the number of sets im doing weekly or the reps i do weekly.
thanks

I would take off a day after legs to allow your CNS to recover. Also I don't like training large muscle groups like back and legs back to back. You could train chest day 1, back day 2, shoulders day 3, arms, day 4, legs day 5 then take 2 days off! Test/tren/mast and dbol will put some serious size on you. 25 mgs of Dbol would probably be enough. Test,deca and dbol works well also. I would choose test,tren,mast if dbol was not used. Test,deca, and mast would be my second option given no dbol was used.
