Oh really….is there any evidence posted from medical journals stating taking it sporadically or every every 3 weeks could be harmful? (Not trying so sound like a smart ass, seriously wondering)
After an IM injection, peak serum levels spike after approx 24h (day 2 to day 7 at peak levels) then slowly tapers down to baseline at 2 weeks.
I take 100mg every 2 weeks starting out, then 200mg every 2 weeks
Sometimes I’ll take my shot, then another 200mg three weeks later, I wouldn’t think that’s harmful or bad
People take several other items to prevent the conversion of estrogen, and there are a few other important things to do to prevent dangerous or unwanted side effects. I’ve been using it for 3-5 years and haven’t noticed anything troublesome
Again, sometimes it’s 100mg IM and then a week later another 100mg …..so both shots kinda overlap each other making a longer flat baseline in the middle (like two hills slightly overlapping each other)
I’d prefer to keep my dose as low as possible actually. Abusing this potent anabolic steroid could cause serious health issues.
It’s actually an amazing antidepressant & mood-booster …paired with d-amphetamine in my experience is like a Superman mode cheat code, just so comfortable, confident, bold, un-afraid …walk into a board room or something where the opposition tries to intimidate you, like you RUN TINGZ lol like you’re looking them directly in the eye, through their eyes and into their soul, with a subtle look on your face like you own them, they are inferior specimens, you kinda get in their space directly facing them, making hard direct eye contact with an overwhelming confidence like you run the f@ckn block lol
No wonder why top performers and certain individuals use this cocktail for specific needs / operations / tasks
Half a Valium and a hard drink while smoking a cigarette also are great, taking the edge/intensity off, little more laid back and not so bold….but still calm, cool & collected.
Just my experience anyhow
Some top performers and certain individuals also have some of the worst problems, they just can't show them because they signed themselves up for a life of fame. The fame hides a very different reality but one which must be concealed with secrecy and elaborate PR management. Be careful not to fall for the illusions. Remember that so many people in Hollywood and the celebrity world use drugs not to enhance themselves but just to get by because the reality of their lives are anything but what you expect.
In my opinion, unless you are a top class athlete or you are, like you say, a top level individual in whatever context, these combos and testosterone in general is just fuelling who you wish you were when the drugs wear off. An elite level athlete NEEDS performing enhancing cocktails not to turn up to the 9-5 grind and impress some mid level managers or to "own others". He is trying to remain at the top of the pyramid where the difference between first and second is several millions of dollars each year and a potential spot representing your country. Your name is actually on the line. He genuinely is about that life. And he needs those drugs because that life is about gaining an advantage. Unless you are at that level (and you wouldn't be here if you were) you are deluding yourself and steroid use/abuse is linked in males with personality traits such as narcissism whereby grandiose delusions are prominent so lots of guys are seeking healing they just can't accept it or even realize it. I've met many people high on gear who while high are the greatest thing to ever live but come scrutinizing their life can barely manage to look after themselves on a very basic level. Overcompensation for what they perceive they lack using chemicals that give them a false sense of confidence and self worth. I've been there myself. Ultimately is you who is in denial.
You compare yourself to the highest level of society but you won't ever be at this level nor will you ever be satisfied with the level you are at right now because the problem isn't where you want to be, its actually where you are. In fact, more specifically, who you are right now. I mean, why would you want to "RUN TINGZ"? And why do you need steroids to do that? Why not do that sober? The truth is, there are people out there who have never injected a drop of gear into their ass who can do that for real on nothing but air and maybe caffeine if they hit Starbucks before going into work. You could take it one step further and then ask well why are they doing that in the first place? Props to them but what does that say about them? Surely actually seeking to become the best version of themselves is what they should want but by being the big d*ck in the board room isn't doing anything but show the world (who notices) how small they really are.
What's to run in a board meeting with people who are likely completely lost in life who believe life is about turning up to board meetings and doing exactly what you want to do? Some people are literally just the suits they wear. Nothing high level about them. For all their work success they are empty and I bet some of them browse far more sinister forums than this one looking for a release. Its the rat race and you're not at the top of the pile cutting the cheese at that level. For that you need to be on a Bill Gates level, George Soros, billionaire and then some, level. And then, why do you need steroids in the first place when you ARE that person? Gates could hire his million dollar security team to overpower you while his test levels measure at that below a 12 year old. A million dollars is what the board room wish they could spend on security. What are you going to do? He has still won. Beaten by a low T old man who probably couldn't fight his way out of a wet dream. Just think about the 14 year old amateur boxers who could wipe the floor with every board room member in that room. Barely discovering the peak of their male vitality and yet, according to this reality, the top dogs. Or what about female MMA fighters? Probably nowhere near the level of testosterone a TRT user has in their system and nowhere near that of someone hammering the juice. Still though, night night Irene. Rear naked choke quicker than you can say your own name.
Be careful about treading the "ultra optimization" route. I might be wrong but this seems to be the vibe I get off this post. There are no shortcuts to greatness. Not unless by greatness you mean an illusion that lasts all but the time it takes for your body to carve off the ester on your test compound and you are bone dry shutting down again. Its all hard work. If anyone tells you you can make it in life mixing up drugs and taking them to succeed in life, you should be running for the hills. Its obvious when you think about it.
There is a legitimate progression in areas like biohacking and even the optimization movements and I think that's what a lot of high profile celebrities have latched on to, especially social media infleuncers. But a lot of it is conflated and taken out of context or plain isn't realistic and assumes the stance that existence without altering your biology and making extreme modifications means you are worthless. Maybe to an out of touch 40 year old who is in deep denial, plagued with some serious issues, wants his youth back who now has a shit tonne of money but absolutely no way of finding inner peace and purpose beyond projecting out a grandiose image of himself. The proverbial forever seeker because none of his self absorbed grandiose journey have find him what he seeks.
Best thing I ever did was give up the gear. I once had the assumption I could optimize myself and be better than others. I did all sorts to "enhance" myself. Funny thing is, I would smoke that past version of myself. Its like guys who put fake tan on, pierce all their extremities, trim their eyebrows and want to look like a reality TV star. Okay, you look good. I'm not a bitter guy. But what are you trying to do? Who are you trying to be? To impress? And why? What exists behind the Hollywood veneers? A person who likely desperately wants to be a high roller. Someone who "made it" in life. Making it how? Why? And where? Where do you go when you "make it"? Do you enter a different reality? You unlock the keys to the universe? All evidence points to living on the same rock dealing with the same cluster fuck that is human existence. The only difference is, we have created little games whereby the rules state if you do this or do that or act like this or look like that it means you win. What you win I don't know. I don't think anybody does. The prize doesn't exist that's for sure. Its just an object at the end of the rainbow nobody gets to claim because at the end of a rainbow is... Jack shit! People in business suits is another one. Its a piece of fabric draped over your body is a particular way. But somehow it completely changes a person. It is has the ability to biologically change you (apparently). Now they assume an identity but you take the suit off and, oh shit, its another human body. Put it back on and... Superman! Take it off and, did I ring my shrink? I need those meds. Go home and shut the door and the mirror is the last place many of these kind of people want to look but don't tell that to Facebook or Instagram.
None of it works man. Ram Dass, the great counter culture pioneer said; I used to try and find a way to stay high all the time. Maybe I could just stay in these moments forever and wouldn't that be bliss. But, I came down everytime. I would try and stay up but I came down.
I never understood that completely until seeking to understand myself more. That's what so many people try and do. Try and remain high forever and steroids are just one drug in which you can do that because you are essentially putting in your body what already exists and so, why not? Can't hurt, right? The question is; what are you potentially trying to submerge among the steroids? Just like many things we want to improve on or even optimize, what are we actually trying to achieve? What are we trying to replace? Ultimately we are still here. And its ourselves we are often trying to replace.
Next time see what its like to enter the board room completely sober and without enhancements. No caffeine no steroids nothing. Not even a hoodie to hide yourself in. And stand there and own that board room as you are and as nature intended with nothing but your best version of yourself raw. If you can do that sober and you can do it where you actually succeed in achieving a real goal that actually benefits you longterm (not just the superficial pursuit of owning a board room) then you're doing great. If you can't, I'd question why drugs have any place in the conversation whatsoever. You should ideally want to do everything without taking shortcuts first. Battle the resistance without a toe rope attached to a truck. And then once you've done that enough times to say you can, the tow truck can come out. Get as far as you can in life free from advantages lots of other people won't or don't use. And then once you've done that take it a few notches further by seeing what things are like when your previous success is amplified x to the concentration of the enhancement. Fight some MMA fights sober and drug free, get plenty of them under your belt and then fight like TRT Belfort did in the old UFC days. At least you can say you did. There's nothing forcing you to fight juiced up. You don't have contractual obligations. The obligations are in your mind.
I hope you get my point.
We are the thing we want to become. We just don't realize it yet. The answers aren't in trying to remain in an altered state of consciousness. The answer isn't in a vial of juice, that's for sure.
