This is my first post in this forum, I've been checking out this forum for a while and learn a lot of stuff, based on what I read from your threads, I feel that you truly have a lot of experiences and knowledge! I really wish to learn from you! WE ARE GLAD YOU JOINED OUR FORUM!
I've have cycled a few times, my experiences with AAS are, Test Prop, Test Enanth, Sustanon, Tren Acetate (I don't like this one, only last 4 weeks then I stopped due to constantly being in bad mood and full of anger), Dbol, and few other OTC Designer Steroids (MDrol, P-Plex, etc, etc).
My first question is, the dosages that you recommend here seems very high to me (i.e 750mg-1000mg of test), based on your experience with yourself and your friends, do many of them have pretty bad acne breakout and puff up nipple with such dosing? It take around 250 mgs of test per week just to replace what you would produce naturally so 750 mgs is not as much as it sounds. Dosages does not seem to make a whole lot of difference in terms of acne and gyno. What does make the most difference is your genetic make-up and how you react to each drug. If 1 gram of test causes break-outs and gyno then so will 500 mgs from what I have seen.
From my experiences with cycling AAS, the only side effect that I always experienced are messed up skin (because of acne), and puffy nipples (no lumps, no itchiness, no pain, just puff up and pointy). Have you tried tanning or acutane?
Based on what I've read in many forums, some people recommends Nizoral 2% Ketoconazole Shampoo for destroying DHT in the skin, but to avoid oral ketoconazole form, and/or anti-biotics cause it might hinder gains, I'm trying the shampoo on my body right now, but since I'm on pct with clomid and nolva, and still popping acne worse than when I was on cycle, I suspect this acne is cause by something else other than DHT which I dunno what, and I dunno how to keep it under control. Anytime you have a hormonal change you can experience some additional acne and become agitated more easily. It's like female pms! I've not seen any soild evidence to convince me that nizoral actually works to prevent baldness for those who are genetically prone to losing their hair. If you are prone to baldness you will have to take something strong like propecia to delay it IMO and this can decrease sex drive and it can hinder gains. For acne accutane would work but I would rather do the tanning bed once a week if at all possible.
With the puffy nips, many people recommend taking adex, although i read some threads regarding puffy nips, people who takes adex says it doesn't help even though they have very low bodyfat percentage, their nipps will still be puffed up. I haven't tried adex, but I'm currently on nolva and it sure does not reduce the puffyness at all. Once again it's a genetic thing. You might try letro as it's the strongest of all. If that does not work I doubt anything will. A few people have it so bad that they decide to get their mammary glands removed once and for all and be done with it.
What do you recommend for me to address these two problems, because I'm kinda embarassed to take off my shirt, don't want to bring unnecessary suspicion that shows I'm on AAS because of my body acne and puff up nips when I take off my shirt? I would try letro ed and the tanning bed first. If that does not work, letro and accutane would be another option. I would also advise trying a different type of steroid (for example winstrol). This steroid may agree with you better!
I want to start a new cycle in a few months time, and I want to use your slingshot method, I really want to avoid too much acne and pointy nips, so I was thinking of doing low dose of test + low dose of deca for the first reload and low dose of test + low dose of deca + low dose of dbol for the second reload.
My cycle layout:
Sustanon or Test Enanth
Week 1-8 = 250mg/week (1st Reload)
Week 9-10 = 250mg/week (1st Deload)
Week 11-18 = 250mg/week (2nd Reload)
Week 19-20 = 250mg/week (2nd Deload)
Deca
Week 1-8 = 240mg/week (1st Reload)
Week 9-10 = None (1st Deload)
Week 11-18 = 240mg/week (2nd Reload)
Week 19-20 = None (2nd Deload)
Dbol
Week 1-8 = None (1st Reload)
Week 9-10 = None (1st Deload)
Week 11-18 = 20mg/day (2nd Reload)
Week 19-20 = None (2nd Deload)
The reason why I decide such low dose is first because, I'm not looking for instant muscle gratification, I don't mind slow and steady continuous gain, I will try to maximize on my training, nutrition and rest instead of relying on too much of anabolics, and second I want to minimize visible sides as well (the acne and the pointy nips problem). You might try using steroids that do not aromatize such as anavar and winstrol instead of d-bol. Also, tren enanthate works better for some than tren acetate in terms of side effects.
Thank you for reading Ronnie, and look forward in hearing your input. Sorry if my post is too long, since i'm new here and this is my first post, I feel I have a more to clarify about my background so you could give more accurate advice.
