Brittle Again... Any Ideas?

[mrplunkey]

Suddenly woke-up brittle this morning (whole-body tendonitis feeling... kinda flu-like). This happened during my first cycle too:

First cycle (10 weeks):
200 mg Test Cyponate/week
4 IU's HGH/day (5 on 2 off)
0.5 mg Armidex EoD

Second cycle (10 weeks)
250 mg Ultratest/week
450 mg deca
50 mg IM winny EoD
4 IU's HGH/day (5 on 2 off)
0.5 mg Armidex EoD

Just started week 5 in my second cycle... this happened last time too right around week 5. I just woke-up brittle as hell. Even stuff I didn't work the day before (i.e. legs). My tendons just feel rough.

I've been doing well on water, but I think I'll down a few extra 1L bottles tonight and tomorrow AM JIC.

It's probably the growth! I get that feeling quit a bit from running hgh.

 

[wellbilt]

it could be test flu bro,some people get flu like symptoms when using test.

 

[mrplunkey]

I've stabilized nicely with the growth (been on since October), but it is wierd that this hit 5 weeks into the test cycle both times.

1) How long does it take the test flu to kick-in with long-cycle esters? Is 5 weeks normal?

2) Any ways to combat it?

3) Will I hurt anything if I just say screw-it and go all out regardless?

I know the answer to this because it already happened to me a few times. It is the Adex lowering your E too much. It is also the winny drying you up. And last but not least...it is the GH! Giving you carpal tunnel syndrome. Now combine all these 3 things and your in severe pain! Let me guess...all your joints feel like they need to be oiled up huh? Like your bones are about to break huh????

Whoah... I hadn't thought about the anti-e's... I felt ok about the HGH since i'm pretty mature/stable with that. I knew winny would dry me out, but I figured the deca would take care of that.

Oh, and yeah... it's like every tendon in my body is about to snap.

Do others here think that 0.5 Arimidex EoD is a bit too much anti-E for only 250 mg of test per week?

FUCK YEAH!!! I don't even think you would need that with only 250 of Test. This is why I don't even bother with anti-a's anymore. I just stick to good ol' proviron. Even at 600mgs of Test per week.

Good call bro!

Does the brittle feeling occur on your days off gh?

 

[mrplunkey]

Does the brittle feeling occur on your days off gh?

I'm trying to correlate it more closely with my two days off GH. I take Friday/Sat off from GH, and normally feel pretty good on Mondays. Here's my immediate game plan:

1) Going to go back to 2 IU's of GH per day for the next 4-6 "on" days
2) Going to cut the Armidex back to 0.5mg E3D instead of EoD

P.S. I'm getting all this via legal prescriptions, so I'm kinda stuck with the Armidex as long as I want to stay 100% legal ><

Wish me luck!
