Hi everybody,

[THICKNESS]

A little bit about me.

I have been in strength sports since 2000. It went bodybuilding → powerlifting → strongman → armwrestling → back to bodybuilding.

I stayed natural for a long time and took that as far as it would go. Then came the phase nobody advertises: business stress turned training into damage control. Red-lined nervous system. High output everywhere. Trying to hold performance together with duct tape.

That forced the pivot. Rebuild the chassis, not keep swapping tires.

I ran aggressive protocols early (the old start at 500mg trt/wk, ramp up from there). Peptides. AAS. Layered stacks. Learned quickly what scales and what degrades. Strength can go up while health quietly goes down. That tradeoff has a bill.

This led me to seek out people who were doing this at a higher level. I studied under and learned from guys like John Jewett and Dr. Todd Lee, and combined their frameworks with my own data, education, and trial-and-error. Then I pressure-tested it under load. Not just for bodybuilding. For all strength sports. Different expressions. Same biological constraints. I have now built out 40-50 case studies across various demographics: Sex, age, sports, etc.

That shift changed everything. The goal stopped being 'more.' The goal became alignment.

I joined MESO to absorb real-world data on sourcing, protocols, compound selection, outcomes, and subjective experiences. I will contribute where I can.

Howdy Thick!

Nice resume. From my perspective Jon Jewett is an educated successful dude with an impressive physique and a cool poscast, and “Dr” Todd Lee has tidbits of great info (like using slin pins to hit front delts with smaller shots to open a new viable injection site is gold). But he’s mostly just yelling a lot about confidently held questionable ideas and gets pushback on a lot of his core ideas like the idea that he practices medicine for starters.

Both of them are problematic for me because they are the tip of the subcultural spear for the idea that Masteron is pretty ‘safe’ so you should pin like a gram of it a week. You’ll find lots of opinions on the topic if you spend a night or two reading search results here.

For me Mast is awesome as a support compound around 150-200mg/week for serm like effects and to smooth nandrolone sides and I understand it’s use as a dry cosmetic compound for those under 10% who are photographed or on stage, but it’s too expensive and not androgenic enough for me to run as a mass builder when nandrolone is cheap and works.

But I’m not an expert or even a veteran member around here- I’d guess that you probably know what works for you already. Welcome!
