Equipoise weight gain

[AdrenalineJunkie]

Hey so Im curious to know your guys experience with Equipoise. I've been seeing good results. I'm leaner and much more dense. There's no doubt its working great but I feel I'm putting on more weight than expected. Im going into week 3 of the cycle and within the last 11 days I've put on 12 pounds.

I log my meals and exercise everyday. Theres no way I'm eating enough calories to put that weight on by myself. And both I and my girl can notice I'm already leaner and I don't see any signs of water retention. I always had the impression weight gain was minimal on eq but maybe I'm wrong? Im not complaining because I do like the results but I'm just wondering what you guys have encountered. I'm actually running a marathon coming up and every pound I put on is another pound to carry for 26.2 miles. Can I expect to see the weight gains taper off or ???? I appreciate the input.

That doesn't sound like EQ at all...

Yea my thoughts exactly. I dont relate my results to typical. Except it does look like EQ, I'm getting it from what I consider reliable, it definitely increases my appetite, and it pins like EQ. I have no reason to believe it is anything but.

Your pound a day gain is probably water. It's not uncommon for gear to be labeled as one thing and contains another.

Like B said, that certainly doesn't sound like EQ.

What exactly does EQ look like?

Any suggestions how to handle that or can I expect it to go back down on its own?

Can you lay out your cycle? Doses and length?

[Bonaparte]

It's probably Deca. A lot of morons think they're interchangeable for some reason (being that they're both long estered anabolics), but they act VERY differently.
You guy probably was out of EQ and didn't think you'd mind being sold Deca instead.

[AdrenalineJunkie]

What exactly does EQ look like?

I would describe it as oily, transparent goldish in color. I know this isn't very descriptive but I don't know how else I'd describe it. Looks like batches I have seen in the past, so if that doesn't sound like it I've been wrong before too ha.

Bro, that's how just about everything looks. You can't tell by looking at it, you have to pin it. Your results are not typical of EQ. If you didnt get EQ you should be happy, it's junk anyway. Deca would make sense.

As for the water gains, yes, that will go away/deflate.

1 cc at 200mg/ml 2x a week

1 cc at 200mg/ml 2x a week

Alone? No test? For how long?

[AdrenalineJunkie]

I know, that why I said its not very descriptive. It wasn't a good example for me to use. Thanks for the input though

[AdrenalineJunkie]

Alone? No test? For how long?

No test, if it was deca I would've. 10 weeks is the plan unless you guys have a better suggestion.

[austinite]

Even it were EQ, you would run it at 600+ for 16 weeks. No offense, AJ, but you probably shouldn't be cycling until you complete your research.

Best of luck to you.

No offense taken. I never claimed to be an expert. I actually have 16 weeks so I appreciate the advice. As far as my research, I based my cycle from information within the education section on this website and previous recommendations Ive been given. I'm always open to better advice, its why I'm here after all.

I ran a few EQ only and EQ/Winny cycles years and years ago when I first started out. I was young and didn't really know how to plan anything out. I didn't have any problems like libido issues or any other low test symptoms but I was using fairly low doses too. Even so, I wasn't making progress like you're talking about, nowhere near...and this was back when good EQ was pretty easy to get. There's actually a lot more crappy EQ out there then I think a lot of people realize. A lot of it's low dosed testosterone and like someone said I'm sure some sources interchange it with Deca even though they're two very different steroids.

Anyway, long story short, EQ can be an OK bulking steroid, OK at best but it really needs to be stacked with a strong cycle around it to be worth much. It's a much better steroid for the front end of a cutting cycle IMO. Anyway, like everyone's said, doesn't sound like you have EQ at all.

[Angel of death]

what doesn't make sense even more is that you're in week 3 and neither deca nor eq would produce gains like that so early...

[AdrenalineJunkie]

UPDATE: Its like magic. I don't know how to explain it but yesterday I weighed myself and was down 14 pounds. So not only had I lost the 12 I put on but an additional 2. I did take a couple good shits which probably took care of a lot of it and the rest was probably water weight. Back in wrestling there were days I would fluctuate as much as 10 pounds depending on my workout but 14 is just insane. I didn't know I was able to retain that much, let alone drop in a day.

My buddy is on the same and he too is on the 1lb+ plus a day climb right now so it will.be interesting to see if he drops it all off in a day too. Just figured id update you guys since its been an odd start.

[MickeyKnox]

this thread makes no sense. up 12 but down 14 cause i took two shits...am i doing eq, deca?? but you got all your info in the Ed section? i think you missed a few paragraphs here and there. no offense.

good luck.

I would love to take a 14lb shit once in my life

[Rwy]

Dude, if you did, you could literally say you were full of shit.

14lbs in one day? Are you sure your scale is working properly and is it accurate? Zero it out before you stepped on it? I mean that would be a lot of shit and a lot of water to account for.

[AdrenalineJunkie]

I thought the same thing I figured it was someone effing with my scale, but both times I weighed myself at the gym and home, so someone would've had to messed with both scales. And Mickey I never asked what I was on, I was was just wondering if anyone had seen any gains like me. Clearly it was just water retention and what not. Moving on.
