Ronnie,
Is it possible to lose fat through cardio and build muscle at the same time? or should one bulk then cut?

ronnie u state that using test enthanate would be a gud choice for this reloading and deloading method. but durin the cruising stages of the deloading how would this be effective as u say to cruise 4 two weeks but u wouldnt realy have much off a break from the dosage because of the ester and half life in the enthanate would you? cheers 4 yor time

Ronnie currently for my back workout i do 4 sets of pullups, 4 sets of barbell rows and 4 sets of seated cable rows. i think im going to switch to doing 4 exercises: 2 width and 2 thickness each woth 3 sets, what do you recommend?

Hey guys,
My current computer is shutting down on me. I should be back up and running by the weekend with a new computer. I'll get these questions answered then.
NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT PM ME QUESTIONS REGARDING SLINGSHOT TRAINING, ETC. KEEP ALL QUESTIONS IN THIS THREAD FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION...RONNIE

What do you think of Dave palumbo cycle recomanedition as,
1-8 week Test, deca EOD
8-14 week Test, EQ EOD
He recomaned these doses for every one....So what you think?
Also, what you think about swiching gear every (anabolics) every 8 weeks, instead to up the doses?

I am in the planning phase and want to know what you think of this:
Wk 1 1000mgs test c
Wks 2-8 500 test c mgs
Wks 9-10 deload (bridge with 250 mgs test c)
Wk 11 1000 mgs test c 1000 mgs deca
Wks 12-18 test c 750 mgs and deca 500 mgs

Ronnie,
Thanks for taking the time to educate those like myself, who still "green" to SST & AS. I've read several education posts on here, yours included. I'm a firm believer that there should be only "one cook in the kitchen" (provided he knows what he's doing). That said, I hope you help direct me. Here are my stats:
Age: 32
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 183
BF%: Last time I checked I was about 15%
Cycle Exp: I can PM you the details, but in short, a 6 month cycle of various AS at different times/increments. Followed the instructions of someone I trusted and turned out to be someone I shouldn't have. Did make gains, but not sure if it was all real. No side effects. In comparison to some of the cycles on here, it wasn't too much either (max. maybe about 300mg of one compound per week, and not more than 3 stacked at one time).
PCT Knowledge: Same guy didn't suggest anything. I took OTC Novaldex (Gaspari) on my own, but 2 months later. Lost most my gains.
Training Exp: Since HS, off and on for about 10 years, regularly (5 day/wk) for 4+ years now. Entered one contest this year.
I read you SST article and where you gave a sample AS cycle to run inline with it. It seems like a lot more than what I took, so I'm not sure if what I took was "minor" or this is geared for one more advanced. I did stack 3 compounds together towards the end of that 6 month cycle. Given my one (probably improper) cycle experience, I'm looking for some advice so I can map out my 1 year precontest prep. Should I follow your example to the "T"? ... it being:
Weeks 1-8: 2000 mgs of Test E per week, 400 grams of Deca per week, & 50 mgs of Dbol every day.
Weeks 9-10: 500 mgs of Test E as bridge to the next cycle and SST phase.
Also, should I include any PCTs during weeks 9-10 and if so, what do you recommend. FYI, the above dosage looks to be slightly more than double what I took (in amount, but not the same AS).
Thanks for your help. Please let me know if it's okay to PM you in the future, for details that I'd personally not like to post publicly.

I would sugest doing 9 work sets for both bis and tris. I would use cables for over head tris ext and drop dips and replace with tricep pressdowns. Add 3 work sets of standing bicep curls to bis and decrease spider curls to 3 sets. I would also drop preacher curls and do over head cable curls for bis or some other form of cable exercise for bis.

well, i can still perfrom upwards of 9 intense sets for some body parts and continue getting a positive training effect but i can no longer get by with 12 sets at my age.( NOW I DO PERFORM 12 SETS TOTAL FOR LATS BUT IT'S 6 SETS FOR LAT WIDTH AND 6 SETS FOR LAT THICKNESS, SO THAT'S 6 SETS...) Someone younger may be able to go as high as 12 work sets for a body part a week but someone younger people may max out at 6 as well. I find that 6-9 sets is optimal for myself with 6 sets being about right for several body parts. All in all, i would say it's a pretty accurate study and dave palumbo was in the ball park!

[QUOTE=delta1111;5380702]Ronnie,
Is it possible to lose fat through cardio and build muscle at the same time? or should one bulk then cut? IT'S POSSIBLE IF YOU ARE JUST STARTING TO WORK OUT WITH WEIGHTS OR YOU ARE DOING YOUR VERY FIRST CYCLE OF STEROIDS. IT'S ALSO POSSIBLE TO GET CUT AND GAIN MASS USING HIGH DOSAGES OF GROWTH HORMONE WITH A CALORIE SURPLUS. BUT, IN YOUR CASE, YOU MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN LEAN BULKING OR LEANING DOWN AS YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY DO BOTH.[/QUOTE]ABOVE

So basically if a drop in active mg can be achieved during the 2 weeks deload, however slight (as in no pinning during these 2 weeks), this will still help the body during the next 8 week reload? With the long esters; Enanthate /Decanoate, discontinuing during the 2 week deload is not going to drop the mg all that much, but it will drop it some. But wouldn't this make it take longer to build back up in the next 8 week reload? Now if only I understood the formula for half lives... Maybe I'll calculate exactly what the levels would be.
Oh and the last deload; weeks 19-20, that isn't necessary unless you're planning on staying on forever, right?
Should have gotten some Test Prop/Nandrolone Phenylpropionate/Tren Acetate or something along those lines. Wouldn't shorter esters work better for STS? That way you could have a big drop during the 2 weeks, and bring those levels back up to peak very quickly afterwards. Not that long esters won't work too, but the drop and rise won't be as exaggerated.

I've been doing everything you've advised over the past 8 months but i've been lifting on and off for years and I still look like I dont lift.
One body part per week
12 sets per body part
8 to 12 reps to good failure
rotate heavy and light weeks
good form
Do I just have the worst genetics in the world? I work just as hard as anyone in the gym yet guys look 10x better than me. Should i increase sets or drop down to 9 sets?

Hi Ron!
Im kind of confused with your method . So say i was going to do a 'conventional' cycle consisting:
1-12 wk test e - 500mg
4-12 wk Anavar - 50mg ed
Instead i would use:
wk 1-6: test e - 500mg/ 40mg Var ED
wk 7-8: test e - 250mg (deload)
wk 9-14: test e - 500mg/ 40mg Var ED
PCT:
wk16+ nolva: 40/40/20/20/20
wk 16+ clomid: 50/50/50/50
Ty!
btw: Do i up the dose of test wk 9-14 or the same as wk 1-6? Could Dbol also be used or is that too many orals?

Start by decreasing sets. Sounds like you are a hard gainer! Can you post some stats/pics and post your diet/steroid cycle. 3-4 days per week of training is all you are probably going to be able to handle.
Remember, I can take a guy with 18 inch arms that has never touched a weight and turn them into 20's with Slingshot Training. On the same note, I can take a guy with 14 inch arms who has never weight trained and help him get 16 inch arms. Both guys will gain about the same amount of strength from their starting point, but in no way will the guy who started out with 14 inch arms be able to catch the guy with 18 inch arms-"this goes for both strength and size" regardless of what he does. This is due to genetics. Not everyone can be a bodybuilder just as not everyone can be 6 foot 8 inches and play basketball.

Thanks Ronnie, you don't know how frustrating it is busting your ass in the gym and seeing zero results while guys around you slack off and get huge. I will say my diet needs to be a little better as well, but I still get my protein in everyday. So you think I should go with a split like this?
Mon - Chest/Back
Tues - Legs
Weds - Delts/Abs
Thurs - Arms
9 sets for each body part? my stats are 6' 217lbs around 20% bodyfat, never cycled before, but I feel like i'm in good shape and I can hang with anyone in the gym regarding weights and sets, I just look like crap.

Please keep all post publicy. I simply do not have time to answers a lot of pms. I cannot make exceptions for some and not others.I'm sure you understand.
I would start phase 1 with 1 gram of test and 25 mgs of d-bol ed. Leave out deca.Phase 2 try bumping test to 1.5 grams, increase d-bol to 50 mgs per day and add in 400 mgs of deca and see how you feel. This will help you put on more size for next show.

Hi Ronnie,
due to my shoulder problems and a knee surgery I'm gonna have in Nov I'm about to start with my PCT soon. The problem is, I am not able to get any HCG . So I have to stick to Novaldex and clomid.
Should I do your recommended PCT just without the HCG:
Novaldex 20mg/day
Clomid 50mg/day
for 4 weeks, starting 1 week after the last injection? Or shall I do something different?
Thx!

I'm going to do what you've suggested for mg reduction during the deload.
I was wondering for building biceps... I'm not getting very sore right now, regardless of how hard I work out. Naturally this is because I have AS in my system. I've always been a better pusher than a puller. I could always bench 405 naturally, but never had the back or bicep strength/size that I wanted. Just genetics. I think my best was 135 barbell curls for 6-7, 60 dumbbell curls for 8, naturally before steroids . How many days per week should I isolate biceps? Keeping in mind that I'm going to be using them for compound exercises like Back and Deadlifts too. I could probably crucify my biceps every day of the week and they still don't get very sore or build much. Still I've seen some size gain on them even in the 4 weeks of Test E/Deca . Not phenomenal, but noticeable. Same goes for muscles like forearms, calves. Muscles that never grow. Plenty strong, just not big. Should get some Site Enhancement Oils . j/k.

Hi Ronnie,
I have loaded and deloaded 4 times now, so i've been on for a total of 38 weeks inclusive of reloads and deloads. I feel I should perhaps come off for a while now. What do you think?
Also, how long should I come off for before starting again?
Thanks.
