dec, 2Thick made some interesting comments a couple of days ago about this. But...I don't recall which thread. Hopefully he will catch this and reply. In short he stated [not a quote] "Don't jump right into a cutting phase. Stay heavy (routine & diet) for awhile..." Later, | ||

If you have long acting esters in there just keep on eating for another month. I beleive in always training hard and heavy so that never changes. I'd just say F**k it, it's going into winter now so just keep growing. Perhaps bridge with something or even hit another cycle here in a bit and the cut come spring. F**k dieting if you don;t have to. GROW. ------------------  | ||

i totally agree with you beezers. that's what i was thinking of doing, actually, is bridging with only 200mg of equipoise. after a while i wanted to do another cycle and then cut up next year. i don't want to get too fat, however, that's why i was thinking that perhaps a short cutting phase would be in order. | ||

It is very important not to jump into a cutting phase right after your bulking cycle. You need to keep eating and training hard about a month after your last injection. Actually you can ease off a little on the training. I actually take 2 weeks off after my last injection, then I start again at a moderate intensity. You need to keep feeding your body so it does not revert back its "natural weight" because your body will fight the extra pounds. I also recommend using clen after a cycle to stay anti-catabolic (and not for fat loss). I have had great results doing it this way. You will also find that people who cut right away will complain of losing more of their gains than usual. Thank for remembering 1911. | ||

What did your cycle look like bro? Perhaps get a bridge going on here and during that time concentrate on keeping those gains, not loosing the fat. Foccus on not gaining any more fat(diet modifications) but make sure you keep those gains...Then hit another bulk cycle...Then loose the fat that you have acumulated. You know it will still come off and unless you've got a show or some modeling to do this winter wait to cut before summer. The bigger you are the better you will look cut so I just say keep tose gains or get some more of them. ------------------ | ||

i started with deca and a bunch of sustenon. i then switched to equipoise and enanthate. my trainer tells me to stay on 200mg of deca year round, but i'm taking the eq instead because deca made my nipples puffy (it went away when i discontinued it and started to take nolvadex everyday). so now i'm tapering off the test and taking clomid but i want to keep on taking at least 150mg of eq until my next cycle. | ||

How much eq do you think you need for it to be effective and not cause any sides. Also someone posted the other day about some eq that only needed to be shot once/wk? Any comments? | ||

I suggest you stay as heavy as your body will allow. Next, cut your workouts by half! You will think I am crazy but it will help you to not go catabolic during the hormone adjustment phase. I will drop to a 3day program next week after this cycle. | ||

the natural.. i only use eq once a week. it's very mild and similar to deca, so the very least i would take would be 150mg, but 200mg a week should be a good bridging dose. at those doses of an anabolic i don't think you would see any sides at all. correct me if i'm wrong.. | ||

Decibel, would you ever consider a cycle of eq at only 200mg/wk, or is that still in the bridging range. Alot of bros lately have been posting eq shots of 50-100mg eod or 200-300mg 2x/wk. If it can be shot once a week and give you 10lbs off a low dosage I would think its a better drug than deca? | ||

i wouldn't do equipoise or deca by themselves if you are trying to put on weight. they work best when stacked. i don't even know if you'd be able to put on 10lbs of muscle on it, maybe if you it's your first time, but i know for me it wouldn't happen. 200-400 a week is about the norm to establish an anabolic base if you are stacking it with an androgen. i know some people take it eod. i personally don't see the purpose in this since it has a long half live (the less injections, the less scar tissue). |
