test e/eq cycle advise (2nd Cyc)

[ScMc]

I think your diet is way off. If you want to lean out you need to realize a lot of the foods you are taking in are messing with your chemistry. If you want to control size and bf you have to take a look at blood sugar and insulin levels. Insulin is secreted when blood sugar levels go up. Imagine your cells are like little houses and when the get filled with insulin they lock the doors. All the insulin that is left over gets turned to fat. So if you can control blood sugar and insulin secretion then you can control fat. Avoid the processed sugars and gluten. Diary causes a huge insulin spikes. Whey protein is made from milk. You really only want big insulin spikes after a workout so avoid whey protein at any other time except post workout. Never before bed. Ditch all the gluten...wheat, rye and barley. Gluten causes big insulin spike and causes inflammation. This can lead to auto-immune problems. Avoid the peanut butter and sub in almond or cashew butter. Peanuts are legumes and have very high acid levels and can cause inflammation. Avoid smoothies packed with processed sugars. Flax seeds and oil increase insulin sensitivity and are not good. You want long chain omega 3's like those from animal based proteins...medium chain omega 3's like flax are not good. Try to get good omega 3's from cod liver oil. Oatmeal is fine. Dont throw the yolks away when eating eggs. The yolk contains all the vitamin k and d and most of the good cholesterol. Yes i said cholesterol is good! Steroids are synthesized off of cholesterol that is why they play havoc on LDL and HDL levels. You need good fats in the mix. This will help more than you know. Olive oil, avocado and tree nuts are great sources. Sub in sweet potatoes and yams. Shoot for meats, vegetables and fruit and good fats and you will lean out over night. Dont ever eat any processed foods...take a look around at the fat people you see around you...all they eat are processed foods that say non or low fat, foods with a ton of sodium. Be smart and dont waste what you are taking. I surf around and read about all the cycles most guys are on and they could do so much more and not lose gains if they understood their diets. Just because a guy taking 20 k a month in gear is eating egg whites and flax doesnt make it right. He could eat Del Taco every night and be living on jack street with all the drugs. Be smart and good luck.

Good post

thanks guys, ill try and modify that a big, also i've been experiencing some erection problems and i havnt started the eq yet, just on 500mg test e. there should be an increase in libido i though, could the test be shutting me down? or the transition from my body not producing it to it being injected? could it be something in my diet? WTF!!?

That's odd. Perhaps your estrogen is out of line but how long have you been on the Test now?

starting week 4 thursday, im think that its from my nat test diminishing...im not completely shut down, just havent been able to do as many "encores" as i would like.....prob just stress, fatigue, anxiety that kinda shit. anyway stepped on the scale today +9 lbs (after work out) from start weight. I slept a lot sunday to monday bc i had off of work and didnt eat very much for the 12 hrs or so that i was laying around and I weighed in (empty)at +5 - 1% bf . people at work are starting to tell me how much bigger i look : ) getting the "you on roids" comments. great work out today my weights are starting to increase and my endurance seems to be up, awesome pumps. other than the libido thing i dont see any sides, no bloat, no skin issues. im excited about the gains so far .. trying not to get too nuts but im sure i will....

More than likely other issues with libido as you mentioned.

Good to see your growing already so keep it up!!

i started hcg this week 2x 250 iu tue/fri getting itchy nips so going to use .5 mg arim. e3 days or so, also my use sustain alpha for that "little" issue of mine.

If your on cycle then Dermacrine would be a better option than Sustain Alpha.

is this because it blocks the estrogen symptoms rather than the estro its self, thus allowing the estro to produce gains? i would still run the hcg correct?

Im noticing that i dont like the way my back/lats look in comparison to the rest of my body. anyone have a kick ass back routine i could adjust to. i currently do
wide grip, med grip, close grip pullup 4 sets of 6 each
wide grip lat pulldowns
(all 3x8-10)
reverse grip close grip pulldowns (palms in)
seated rows (v grip 2 hands)
standing rows from the low pully (T-bar)
bent over rows (straddle the bar w/ one end of bar in corner of wall- v grip handle)
bent over rows palms facing in 3x8-10 then out 3x8-10
good mornings/strait leg dead lifts

Sorry Trip missed this post. We still need estrogen and it's a balance between the estrogen and test that we are trying to achieve when on cycle. Dermacrine is designed moreso for use on cycle or as it's own mini cycle whereas Sustain Alpha is for PCT with it's emphasis on restoring natural test. Both have anti-e properties but with differing ingredients designed for specific applications.

Yes still run the HCG.
