[QUOTE=Bulkn;5606124]Also, im prone to gyno so ive been taking Aromasin 12.5mg eod but have recently been getting slightly itchy nipples.
Do you think its a good idea to up the dose a little to 7.5mg ed? I WOULD TAKE IT EVERY DAY ANYWAYS TO KEEP THINGS STABLE. SO, YES!/QUOTE]ABOVE

[QUOTE=Maronn;5607774]Hi Ronnie,

why did you have to go on HRT, if I may ask? DUE TO TAKING NARCOTICS LONG TERM DURING MY TOUGH PERIOD OF HAVING 10 LOWER BACK SURGERIES. NARCOTICS BLOCK THE SIGNAL TO THE PITUITARY GLAND TO RELEASE TSTOSTERONE. THAT WAS AT AGE 32. NEVER USED TEST BEFOE THEN BUT WAS AROUND IT ALL MY LIFE BEING A TRAINER. Because of steriods or are there any other reasons?

What is your weekly dose if you are not cycling?200 MGS PER WEEK[/QUOTE]ABOVE

[QUOTE=Maronn;5608951]Hi Ronnie,

I've had huge problems with my immun system in the last 12 months. Everytime I work out very intensive for only few weeks I get a cold which last forever. Even after ONE hard workout I feel kind of weak and sick the next day (not the way you normally feel after a heavy work out). I checked my blood, everything fine. I'm really sick of it and kind of desperate. I tried vitamins, glutamine, immun booster etc, nothing has worked so far. Maybe it has anything to do with my intestine/gut!? I've had to take antibiotics several times in the last 12-24 months. Do you have any ideas? SOUNDS LIKE ALLERGIES. HOW MANY SETS PER BODY PART ARE YOU DOING? HOW MANY TIMES PER WEEK DO YOU TRAIN? HOW MANY HOURS EACH NIGHT DO YOU SLEEP?[/QUOTE]ABOVE

I've been working out for 15yr now and my training has always look similar to your routine. 4 times a week, 9-12 sets for bigger body parts and 6-8 for arms. almost each set to good failure. I sleep about 7-8h each night. I'm not 20 anymore I know (Iam 35), but even if I do less sets I feel sick after a while.

What kind of allergies do you mean?

thanks!

Sir Ronnie Rowland pls help me decide. What steroids should I take if I'm a 22 yr old 120lbs and I only want to be a 160lbs of lean mass muscle gain fast. And when I got to 160lbs of lean muscle gain I would maintain it by not taking steroids again. What I have in mind right now is to take deca durabolin is that good for me if I want a fast lean muscle gain?? thanks in advance.

[lynxeffect1]

ron it turns out my throat is swollen up again because im after getn hand,foot and mouth virus, im covered in blisters, its goin around and caught it from my daughter, its rare for an adult to get this but im presuming i did cause my immune system is shit while on gear? the doc said ders nothing u can do only wait for it to pass but wil it pass with my immune sytem down since cant take anything for it? i wont need to come off for it to pass wil i? my throat is better than yesterday thats all i need better so i can swallow again and eat , im prob down a stone onda scales cause havent eatn **** all in 3 days now, ive one shot left to take in week 8 then was gonna go to deload, but im thinking if i extend the cycle to 9 weeks at the same dosage i shud be ok for next monday and hopefully shud gain it back ? then do my deload, what u think? that way i can push foward next reload. also is der anything i can take to help my immune system im always getn sick every few months and its costing me. i take about 1200mg vitamin c , a multivitamin and 12oomg of fish oil a day

Thanks for your responce. Like I said I have never done anything before but I'm thinking of trying some "legal steriods" Anadroll, Deccabolan, and Dianabol. Will these help elevate my test levels? Being around 30Lbs overweight how many calories should I consume while taking this and doing your routine? Thanks again

What kind of allergies do you mean? mold allergies possibly, but my suggestion is to get off steroids for 6 weeks and then get blood tested once again to check out red and white count. It could be a lot of things. Sometimes people get allergic reaction to high ba content in some UG lab products. Do you smoke or have asthma symptoms? It could be your liver function! That will make you feel like crap. Make them test for anemia. Play it safe and get blood work done again. Also, do you feel better when you come off steroids and did you change over to a new brand of gear a year or so ago? Also, if you are snoring at night you may have sleep apnea which runs down the immune system. You still might be over-training it sounds like so try staggering volume during 8 week reloads to prevent burn out!? For example: Cut volume in half every 1-2 weeks.

thanks!

Sir Ronnie Rowland pls help me decide. What steroids should I take if I'm a 22 yr old 120lbs and I only want to be a 160lbs of lean mass muscle gain fast. Honestly, the only steroids you need is those from BEEF! You just need to eat. Steroids do not make you gain weight, only eating does that! And when I got to 160lbs of lean muscle gain I would maintain it by not taking steroids again. What I have in mind right now is to take deca durabolin is that good for me if I want a fast lean muscle gain?? bad idea. Once you hit 160 then maybe think about taking test in a couple of years.thanks in advance.

Supplements look good. Over-training can cause you to get sick because it breaks down the immune system. Some hard trainers require 10-12 hours of sleep per day. Try reducing sets back and getting more rest and it should stop, given your daughter does not bring it home to you from school![/QUOTE]above

[yaston2003]

hey ron. Simple question about the positive part of when lifting the weight. You stated that the positive portion of the lift should not take longer then 1-1.5 seconds. When I do my heavy lift sets like squats, benchpress, military, etc (the 4-6 rep range) My positive portion of the lift takes me longer then 1.5 seconds to complete. I dont have that explosive push or pull when doing the heavy lift. The whole time my form is perfect, it just takes me longer to fully push or pull the weight to completion. Now should I decrease the weight to were that I can actual control my positive for 1-1.5 seconds or should i continue doing what I'm doing now until my strength increase to the point of where my positive portion is more explosive. thanks

[bgvillones]

but sir Ronnie I want to take steroids so what steroids is the best to take? at the same time when I take steroids I will also eat as many as I can so I can be 160lbs fast. Pls help me I really want to take steroids but not sure what steroids should I take. Thanks.

[yaston2003]

hey ron. One more question. I was getting this sharp pain in my right shoulder (mainly in the front head) when doing incline bench presses. So I decided to drop incline all together. Now I have been getting the same kind of pain when doing military press(front or behind the neck). Its been like this for over a month now. I tried switching to the hammer strength bi-later behind the neck press, but it made it worse. I only get this pain when doing shoulder presses, deep bench press flies, or incline bench press. What should I do? Should I drop all the exercises that causes me the pain. Its to a point of now my right arm feel weaker then my left, having to exert more effort in my right arm during press or flies.

[Bulkn]

hey ron, im 3 weeks into my first reload, sustanon 750mg a week.
Im debating what i should do on my second reload, do you think 400mg sustanon and 600mg deca would work well? go with 1 gram of sustanon and 400 mgs of deca. 50 mgs of d-bol daily would add even more size than the deca!
above

Thanks Ron! The dbol is actually a good idea, i think ill try deca another time.
If im using Aromasin now at 7.5mg ed, i would then have to raise the dose to around 12.5mg ed for the second reload?

Hi Ronnie,

thanks for your answer. Maybe I explained it wrong. I've done only a few cycles in my life. I've been off for 7 months now after a testo only cycle. I'v had many periods in the last year without training due to operations and sickness, particular in the last months. So overtraining can not be the reason at all.

I don't smoke an don't have asthma symptoms. And I guess I don't snore (at least my girlfriend say so).

I had my blood work (big blood count) done recently and everthing is fine!?? What do you think of the theory that my gut-function can be the reason?

There's no set formula because every body part is a little different. The key on each exercise is to control the negative and then avoid using momentum to start the positive stroke. The positive stroke needs to be somewhat explosive but the rep should be slow enough to make sure the muscle is lifting the weight. You canot use as much weight but you will work the muscles harder-hence you will get bigger training in this fashion and help avoid injuries! The majority of people in my gym throw weights instead of lifting them with a deliberate motion and then they come to me wondering why their muscles won't grow.

Start out with 500 mgs of test enanthate per week if you are dead set on using them.

Hey RR,

How would you run t3 (taper up 25mg every 2 days? and taper down?)? What dose (up to 100mcg? ED)? And how long until i can i wait to start t3 again?
Im thinking of taking it with 750mg of test p, will i lose lots of muscle? Start at 25 per day and increase to 50 a week later. I would not go pat 50 per day as you increase your risk of getting an irregular heartbeat upon cessation.Thanks!!

I can live with the itchiness, it's the tits I'm worried about! Previously I started to get gyno with 520mg test C and 30mg Dbol.. I was using no AI but as soon as I felt a lump I started the nolva, should have started it earlier. It started out itchy then got a little sore then the lumps started. Managed to get rid of about 95% of it.

[bgvillones]

Start out with 500 mgs of test enanthate per week if you are dead set on using them.

What is the best between these 2?
testosterone enanthe 250mg (Geofman)
testosterone enanthe 250mg (Testoviron depot ,Schering)

If I'm only gonna take 250mg per week for 3 or 4 weeks is that ok and gonna help me get bulk fast? Thank you so much sir Ronnie.

hey rr,

how does my workout split look to you? I don't like it! I'll fix it.
Monday - chest/ tri's chest/abs
tuesday - back/ bi's/ 20 min cardio back
wednesday - legs (quads/ hams/ calves)
shoulders/rear delts/traps
thursday - shoulders/ traps/ rear delts biceps/triceps
friday - abs/ calves/ bi's & tri's/ 20min cardio legs
saturday- off
sunday- off

i usually do bi's and tri's again on friday since we dont usually hit them hard enough during the week cause they are after big workouts.
Anything you would change?
Btw - ive been trying to impove and focus on my; chest, shoulders and legs

thanks!

So I guess using Ambien on cycle to sleep is a bad thing?

[aj387]

So fellas got a question for you, including you Ron it would be nice to hear your opinion as well. How does everyone feel about no test cycles? Example being tren/masteron no test included. Opinions/Facts anything! Might be the wrong forum but no one seems to respond on others!

[ricky23]

hi ronnie, ive never fully done a cutting cycle before and have always tried to add lean mass so pretty much all my cycles have been test and tren at different doses. My favourite thing to do in my spare time is read this thread over and over because the advice you give is invaluable and honestly i wouldnt be where i am now without this thread and your help! thank you! after my torn pec ive done a reload of 1.5g test e and 750mg tren (tried going higher on tren with lower test but the sweats were too much!) and ive come back up to 119kg but my bf is around 20% probably higher (can still see slight abs but i think thats because of the tren hardness and haven't had accurate bf measurement) so this time i would like to cut.
I read in a previous post that no deload is needed for cutting so 16 weeks but do you think i should reduce test to 1g or keep it at 1.5? reduce it to 1 gram per week. i dont think i will do tren this time because i need a break from all the sweating! And i dont have alot of money for more than another compound so should i go for masteron or primo or even anavar? go with masteron!i was thinking
16 weeks 1-1.5g test p (or any other test, i dont really see why test p is needed if not preparing for a contest though! Less bloat maybe?) i bloat the same with all brands of test. Go with test-e inorder to avoid frequent injections. Your body adjust to a lot of the water bloat from test after a while.and 600mg mast or primo/anavar 600 mgs of masteron! 2 weeks clen 1 week off for 6 weeks then stay on for the following 10 weeks
working upto 100mcg t3
adex if needed. sounds good but i have found that some lose too much muscle on t-3 even when dosed as low as 50 mcgs daily. Do no more than 75 and probably 50 will suffice. If you do cardio just skip t-3 as it can be dangerous for the heart (causes an irregular heart beat up to 3 months post cycle for some people-"scary"!).

Thanks a lot for your advice ronnie. Appreciate your input
above

thanks for the advice ronnie, im going to start next week 1000mg test 500-600mg mast. only thing with the t3 is that ive got hold of a new product which is 60mcg clen, 50mcg t3 yohimbine hcl per tab. ive ran 75mcg t3 before without muscle loss but would 100mcg (2 tabs) be too much even with this cycle?
i was just reading over some of your older threads about slingshout carb cycling and its honestly the most logical approach to dieting ive ever come across! read it over 3 or 4 times!
only thing is if i go higher than 50g of fats i feel and look worse (could be a mental thing) but was planning on 400-500g protein 150-200g carbs 30-50g essential fats on low carb days and leg and back days (one cheat meal on leg days) i would drop protein to 400g and fats to 25g or so and carbs at 400g-500g. how does this sound? thanks ronnie

test should always be the base of either a mass or cutting cycle. Test builds muscle during a mass phase, prevents muscle loss during cutting phases and helps keep a strong libido.

What are your/others thoughts with regards to HPTA supression and recovery form longer than normal (20 week) cycle....

Could you answer this with refrence to highly supressive compounds (19nors) and HCG use while 'on'...

Do you have BW to back up any claims of full HPTA restoration post cycle....

Your theorys intrest me but HPTA supression (long term) puts me off the idea...

Much appreciated...

If your shoulder pain is keeping you up at night then you really have no choice but to take the sleeping pill and/or some form of narcotic.

Weve been over this topic many many times and there are too many variables to make specific recommendations towards each individual. I see no value in taking steroids if you are not going to stay on most of the time because you will lose most, if not all the gains you made, unless you cruise with some GH to help prevent muscle loss..

[powerball52]

I have been incorporating the protocol Ronnie describes here and I must say the more my training and diet is in line with his theories the better I feel and the more consistent my gains. I wish I could get ronnie to write me something up specifically addressing my weaknesses and goals. I think he has really taken a lot of the guess work out of training. Thanks Ronnie!!!!
