I should have eaten right and trained hard like you. Instead I was a couch potato drinking liters of soda daily. I gained fat (which I regain quickly) while making my muscle insulin resistant. I heard the advice to eat more and lift heavy and followed it to the letter. It did not work out. I...
My body does very bad job at nutrient partitioning regardless of diet type. mainly because of hard gainer genetics and being overweight in the past. Which makes it near impossible to gain size while slightly above maintenance but easily regain fat around my waist with same surplus.
I did many...
You have no idea what it is like trying to keep your gains while having low enough insulin to loose stubborn fat in most insulin sensitive areas. I spent years reading scientific literature and forums. It is a real struggle. I envy you guys a lot.

I dieted naturally. I turned into a stick with still some fat around my waist.
I have no interest to diet natty. I am not looking for "lean down naturally first" advice. Not working for me.
Thanks for bashing though
did a first cycle of test only (TPP 350mg/wk). Gained ~30lbs. Added crazy size for my frame but some unwanted weight along with it.
I was hoping to gain enough to lean down after a cycle and still retain some gains. I am still 10 lbs up with about the same BF.
Here is the issue: I am former...
I've seen information about TRT used as male contraceptive drug.
I'd like to understand the effect, degree and timing of fertility loss while on and off cycle.
I believe it is worth of a video.
Thank you
Hey there!
Everybody seem to suggest injectable test only at 400mg/w for the first cycle.
But recently Dylan praises TRT dose test (150-250 mg/w) with other compounds (either low dose harsh or higher dose mild).
Given that is not it the time to revisit first cycle advice? Why shoot higher...
What happens to E when it is not able to act on a receptor blocked by SERM. I am not sure there is any feedback loop that stops aromatization of T into E while there is plenty of E floating around not able to bind anywhere. So I assume your E will eventually go out of range. That's my hypothesis
I believe aromasin is the way to go bro. It will change T:E ratio in your favor which what really matters. Individual T and E numbers mean very little.
One more source of estrogen load is all sorts of chemicals that mimic estrogen. These are generally called xenoestrogens as they are foreign to your body.
These include pesticides, parabens (preservatives in personal care products), BPA and phtalates (hardening and softening agents for...
I was always under impression that taking SERM like clomid or nolva blocks estrogen receptors but estrogen just keeps building up unless you take an AI. Once you stop SERM you are in for a nasty rebound. So taking SERM is a band-aid quick fix to relieve symptoms and NOT to address the root...
Assuming test only cycle:
How to get to the desired stable blood level quickly with test prop while longer esters are building up?
And how to end cycle with short esters to have the most of the cycle and not wait for longer esters to clear up to start PCT?
No orals please
P.S. I believe the...
Need advice on best single compound and a stack to use for quickest recovery after major open surgery on hip joint.
Female 41, not overweight, not athlethic.
Dylan, you got it all wrong. I have NO issues whatsoever to follow any diet. I have superhuman willpower. But my metabolism is fucked up by soda I abused in the past.
I can't bulk without getting extremely fat around my waist. I need something to gain lean mass while keeping fat at minimum...
Posted a separate thread on my stats. It is under moderation.
Male 40 6'2" 168# natty so far. Two years of training. No previous experience.
Went over lifetime from skinny to fat to skinny fat to fit. Got some insulin resistance - stubborn fat around waist. Cannot bulk or cut for easthetic...
40yo, 6'2" 167#
Started weight lifting as age of 39 being skinny fat. So I missed on opportinity to gain muscle naturaly when I was young. Transformed natty from skinny fat to relatively fit, mascular and lean, not anywhere easthetic though.
Need some enhancement to move post this body...
