Equipose anxiety?

[Avgdad]

I've never run EQ as an AAS only as a PH back in the day better known as HAVOC. And even then HAVOC (by RPN) isn't really EQ. I know there isn't a great comparison between the two, but that is the closest thing I've run to it. I'm hopeful in the compound. Plus I hope to have the same positive experience as KingoftheNorth14 (maybe diminish or get rid of the small gyno lumps i have). I plan to run 400-600 per week for 12 weeks with some Cyp at 400 per week. I usually run 12-16 weeks cycles... so I'll keep this one at 12 to test the EQ and effects. Not looking for crazy strength, I don't have that desire anymore. Just looking for well balanced physique.

I know everyone likes to run their EQ at 500-600mg per week but if your test dose is only at 400mg ew you may very well be in danger of crashing your E2 with that much EQ. If I’m running 400mg of test I can get away with as little as 100mg of EQ to control my estrogen. 200mg would keep me in range but on the low side. When I am cycling I like to have some extra estrogen to help maximize gains but not too much to give me gyno. You may want to start with 200mg EQ with 400mg Test then do bloods in 5wks to see where your E2 is at before bumping it up.

I works almost too good for me so unless imma run a gram of Test I’m never gonna hit those 500-600mg mark of EQ. It didn’t mess with my BP too much but the fast and long duration of elevated RBC, Hemo, Crit has been my only notable side effect. I have not ran more than 300mg of EQ weekly and that was while running 600mg Test.

This is what I've been experiencing over the years of using Gear..
I started at 31 yrs old..just Test at first..back then it was a lot harder to get gear and it wasn't a Buyer's market, like it is now..
What I have noticed over the years..the body changes as we age..for me, after 45 yrs old..certain compounds I have used in the past,weren't as effective as before, even after raising the dose..also,I noticed sides I didn't have before..
I've noticed compounds like Drol..EQ..Didn't seem to have the same effect as I got older..
It's called..Aging Out..
That for me, was the Risk heavily out weighed the Reward..High doses, brought way more sides..

Just like food..at 20..I could eat whatever I wanted..Train 6 days a week..Drink and Party till 2am..up at 7 for work..
No Problem..!!

Now..at 60..
It's about Longevity and being Healthy..
Bloodwork and keeping my Markers in range..
More Volume than pushing to Max..
Staying Injury Free..is #1..
Eating for Health..
Training smarter than before..acknowledging some exercises cause pain and listening to my Body..
Gear..TRT for most of the yr..maybe one Blast in that yr..
Lowering my doses..Milder compounds..
Having fun in the Gym,enjoying my lifts..
Yes, I like running Trestolone ..Now my favorite compound..
BUT..
At a much lower dose than most..with No Negative sides..

Rightnow..
I'm sidelined from Medical issues, not Gear related..I've been itching to get back in the Gym..
But, I'm listening to my Body more..
Hopefully, I'll get back on top soon..
AND..
Back to the Iron..

I've always believed..it's Not a matter of "IF"..
BUT..
When..something health wise comes along..
And,the better shape you are in, when it happens..the better chances you have of Beating it..
Last month's Dr.s appointment..I weighed in at 144lbs..a far cry from 185lbs..
It's been and continues to be a difficult for me to gain weight..between the Meds..sides from Meds and the Depression that comes with C..
Being just myself and Yoshi..life has it's Challenges..

This Lifestyle surely isn't easy, but I wouldn't change a Thing..
It's not the Designation..it's the Journey..
So..Enjoy the Ride..!!

Sorry for the Rant..

Brother, I don't view your post as a rant. I fall into the same category as a lot of us on this board, we're middle aged now, not young bucks. Your words are more to live by than anything else, longevity is a major player now. I'm not necessarily talking length of lifespan here, but vigor and wellbeing, with the physical capacity and mental knowledge to maintain our health well into the end of our lives. Our endeavors with weight training, keeping a healthy quality of shape to the body, internal health, along with mental health will be the key to our later years. We're the forefront of this new generation.

Schwarzenegger, Stallone, among others have set the stage; we're bringing in the tsunami of the future of being senior citizens. We are saying screw the healthcare system, it's just keeping people sick and we all see it. We're taking control of our own health, and the system doesn't like it. How many of us are on TRT/HRT now, we're no longer using excessive doses, but are being sensible with our health and finding a healthy balance. We're doing a much better job than our forefathers did. We're setting a new standard of health, once things balance out society as a whole may be living a very healthy life till they pass. Lifespans may increase as well. We're not the ones showing the end result, it's the generations after us. But we are setting the bar, we're taking care of ourselves instead of letting other unscrupulous people do it. The tide will turn and it just may put the healthcare system on its back. The future will be preventative medicine.

At least you’re still fighting the good fight Z! Hang in there brother.

At least you’re still fighting the good fight Z! Hang in there brother.

Thank you my Friend..
It's really bad rightnow..trying to get dressed and call EMS..In the Fight..Hard..
It's a bit difficult fighting without any help..
Had to send Yoshi to a friend's..I'm not able to take care of myself, much less him..

I'll never give up the Fight..NEVER..!!
But it's tearing my body apart..been in the bed for weeks, now my low back is out..
The pain is spreading in my abdomen, lymph nodes in my groin now..Problem now..I'm extremely weak, can't put on any weight.
Down to 140lbs..I've lost 45lbs since July..
No matter what I eat or how much..not a pound, infact I'm still loosing weight..

Kinda depressing to say the Least..
There's no choice here..I have to keep taking the C meds..Just wish I started feeling better and start sleeping more than 2 hrs at night..

If it wasn't for great friends..I'd end this Shit..!!

Wow, brother, that post went deep. Thank you for sharing. In the last year and a half I've been battling with an acute brain injury from a vehicle accident I had. Most likely why I didn't catch what your message was saying in your previous post. My brain isn't fire the same it did prior to the accident. I have severe short term memory loss and an inability to control emotions. I have no filter.

These effects from the accident weren't obvious to me. I didn't get diagnosed till earlier this year. Right now I have to keep myself separate from society. Because I lack an ability to control my emotions, I will lash out in a split second unaware of what I'm doing. Needless to say I've damaged some relationships and just go off on random people. All of last year I was bed ridden with severe emotional mood swings from rage of anger to deep depression. I'm getting help now and it's been productive, but I have a long road ahead of me before I can re-enter society.

Your situation eclipses mine and my heart goes out to you brother. That's one positive to the accident, my empathy is very acutely heightened. I had a dog for 12yrs and he was better at emotional support than just about anyone in my life. So my heart goes out to you and Yoshi . Hopefully you can reunite soon for that much needed emotional support only a loving animal can provide. My thoughts and prayers go out to you my brother, feel free to vent and rant whenever you want, it's your right and an emotional release to let go of that negativity that may be hanging over you.

Note:
The one thing that's helped me is my very long winded post you see around in the different threads. If it helps you and provides therapy, post up brother, I will listen.

We seem to have a lot in common..
One thing that's kept me going when my tank is low..Helping Others..!!
It gets my head off the obstacles I deal with on a daily basis..
From a simple PM..to late night calls from fellow Brothers dealing with Life's curve balls..

As Men..we all have that..I don't need anyone or anybody’s help..Which is straight BS..
We all need help at Times..
For Me..asking for help is not something that comes easy..
God has humbled me many times..but He's always been there..
C has brought me closer to God..it has changed my life in so many ways..
Believe it or Not..more in a positive manner..
I try to talk less..listen More..
Don't get me wrong..it's taken more, way more than I ever wanted to Give..!!

We all have our personal Journeys thru Life..
There's nothing special about me..Just a guy not ready to leave this World..
But..that's up to the Big Man..not me..
He's has bestowed me a few Miracles..
From finding Duke Hospital, that saved me..
Too,my old boss..paying for a Motor in my Benz..

Sorry Brother for your struggles..and let me pause and say..it's the Brotherhood of good Men..being their Brothers Keeper..Doesn't end there, their Families as well..
What brings us together..makes us stronger..
And you're not Alone..
Personally, I try to listen and inspire..not just about Gear..
It's about Life and how we have to Navigate the ups and downs..in a positive manner..
Because I've gone down the Dark Path..Many Times..
BUT..
I'm Always here for my Brothers, night or Day..
If there's Anything I can do to help..please don't hesitate..!!
Before C..I was a pure Ahole..

You keep Fighting Brother..never look back..!!
Thank you for the kind words..

To the OP..
Sorry for hijacking your Thread..

I seem to be resistant to blood pressure increase from any one drug in particular. It’s mostly if my e2 rapidly changes or some change like rapid change of gh dose to a higher one.

Higher doses total tends toward higher bp but I have a family history,both mom and dad are on 2 and 3 different drugs for bp, and was diagnosed with high 19. Never touched gear till 29 and I manage mine now with just adequate hydration, magnesium, and adding in Potassium and sodium to lock in the hydration without peeing it out. I drink 68 oz water within the first hour of waking and take 500mg sodium from salt with it to hold in the water and not pee out as much.

I was on telmisartan for bp 40mg but it gave me hyperkalemia up to 5.5 and 5.4. Tried 20 and it didn’t go down so I dropped it and payed extra close attention to the hydration and electrolytes and I’m dialed for all of except 4-5 hours a day right after I take my caffeine and 10mg Dexedrine it goes to 135/70 but then backs down to 123/65ish. At night it’s even lower.

If I take anadrol/superdrol I preemptively take 20mg tadalafil to prevent the increase those give due to the rapid shift in fluid dynamics/androgen load etc. I’ve had anadrol give me 190/110bp before when I wasn’t hydrated a long time ago. But now I’m like 140/70 within the first 6 hours of anadrol with the cialis. Idk why but just anadrol or maybe superdrol seem to effect my bp but no other injectables do specifically. 광명 지역에서 편안한 휴식을 원하신다면 전문적인 마사지 서비스를 찾아보시는 것이 좋습니다. 바쁜 일상 속에서 쌓인 피로와 스트레스를 효과적으로 해소하는 방법은 다양하지만, 전문가의 손길을 통한 테라피가 가장 효과적입니다. 많은 분들이 광명출장안마 서비스를 통해 자택이나 숙소에서 편리하게 전문 마사지를 받고 계십니다. 출장 마사지는 이동 없이 원하는 장소에서 받을 수 있어 시간과 에너지를 절약할 수 있는 큰 장점이 있습니다. 근육 이완, 혈액순환 개선, 피로 회복 등 다양한 효과를 기대할 수 있으며, 전문 관리사가 직접 방문하여 맞춤형 서비스를 제공합니다. 건강한 생활을 유지하기 위해 정기적인 마사지 관리를 고려해 보시기 바랍니다.

Yeah totally normal, a lot of people get overwhelmed by EQ at first. Too many knobs and frequencies can mess with your head. Just trust your ears, keep adjustments small, and it gets easier with time.
