Hell I was pretty annoyed at Larry Wheels a few months ago. Released this video crying about how steroids are bad, don’t do them blah blah blah.

And he’s made his fame and fortune off them. Get the fook outta here

*shrug* I love what I’ve accomplished with gear but I never push them on anyone and don’t recommend anyone starts. If they’re going to I’m happy to share my knowledge, but there’s a line you have to draw. The reality is they are bad, the progress made is mentally addicting, and most people don’t have the mental strength or ability to optimize their use anyways.

Piana? Honesty has limits. I think his impact was net-negative. He advertised massive cycles. Some of this information needs passed down the old fashioned way; in tidbits when someone’s ready. Too much knowledge of what guys 10yrs ahead of you are doing is an equation for disaster. Too much of that info is dangerous in the wrong hands. I believe in personal accountability, but as a vet in any industry i think there needs to be a feeling of responsibility for your influences on those following you.

I do agree. But I just like the honesty. I had having to “beat” answers out of people. But I know what you mean. People listen to him and end up on 100mg anadrol and 1g tren First cycle lol

I also second what Mac said.

I think AAS are fascinating and I’ll be using them for as long as I’m able to train. But I never tell people to start using gear, nor do I ever advocate it. It’s a very large decision to use gear that no one should take lightly until they’ve done their research on how to use them safely and properly.

I spent two years learning about AAS before I ran my first cycle of just testosterone.

As tragic as it is, I hope these same people see his death, and the deaths of guys like Dallas, and realize there are REAL consequences to this game. Especially if you’re careless and cavalier with dosing, compound choices, maintaining your health, and respecting what those drugs can lead to. It’s no surprise we have a large contingency of ex or current addicts of other drug classes.

Absolutely. It goes without saying you need to do your own research as well.

Anytime I ask information on here, I do not to and immediately adhere to it. I take the information, research it, and generally end up with more questions.

Anyone not doing that is self destructive

You do actually ask a fuck ton of questions. But sometimes you don't like the answers. Like when i told you there is no "right sock and left sock" only "right shoe and left shoe". You've come a long way since then.

My socks are labeled L and R. Sock peasants. Up your game.

Yeah, but he’s not exactly going to responsible route. He said he dropped his dose to 150mg of anadrol a day. How much shit was he taking before lol

Always appreciated the brutal honesty lol

Oh these drugs have real consequences, no doubt. But I think Pianas recreational cocaine use was finally what took his ass out

Have you seen my claw feet? Fuck your socks. Mortal.

Wait...whoa...did you say touch? Let's discuss this.

You seeing progress at 350? How many weeks in to this cycle are you?

Let's be honest...this is human greed in my head. I had a crusher last workout and I've seen steady recomp which is the goal (plus regaining strength so a big tailwind in my favor). I'm 3 full weeks in on tren ace and 2 on anavar (some test and deca there too). I don't need more drugs, I just need to keep training and eating right - stay the course. Everything should be on all cylinders only now so just toying with the idea as we are all susceptible to mental masturbation (and a decent backstock of compounds only makes this worse).

What makes the most sense I think is waiting to drop out the deca and lower test further to TRT. At that point it would make logical timing to up Tren as I'll also be adding Mast at 400mg (original plan pre-injury was test/tren/mast plus intermittent oral usage). I'll likely re-evaluate at that point. Which is a couple weeks out I think. If sides stay this benign I'll likely do it then unless progress is really humming (which is just fine with me too).

If you’re not having sides at 350mg, I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t bump the tren to 525mg. I’m assuming it’s the acetate ester so if you run into trouble you can easily drop the dose and ride the sides out for a few days.

I’m at 700mg tren ace and the only side I have is mild insomnia where I wake up at 4am every day and it takes me half an hour to fall back asleep.

Could definitely do it. It's acetate and I've run it there before. I'm decently resilient to Tren sides and impacts on bloods are benign for the most part even on longer runs with orals in there (I just try not to be abuse myself with dosage considering my goals are what most would consider modest). I wake up all the time in the middle of the night even without tren. Scaling dosages up over a couple weeks seems to mitigate tren making it worse though. Heartburn and mega carb cravings is the worst I seem to get. Right now neither is challenging me.

Nothing wrong with a bump up, just time it right later in the cycle to combat a plateau. I preach moderation but you se the places I’m going with my show stack. Just make it useful and not because you don’t have sides or something irrelevant like that.

Real talk time. If you can't ohp 1 plate, bench 2, squat 3, and dead 4, all x 5, you should be focused on a strength based, not hypertrophy program.

Got into this discussion with a coworker, he couldn't change my mind.

Someone like Mike Israetel and Eric Helm's would disagree. And they're pretty qualified. If fact they say strength is a detriment to overall hypertrophy in the long run. Better to start weaker and collect volume and slowly gain strength over being strong af than collect volume. Being strong hinders being able to do more volume and more likely to get injured in the process. Biggest/fullest guys are never the strongest.

 

[ShredMN]

I’ll refrain from posting progress pictures while running exclusively Titter’s gear, even though I feel it’s completely appropriate when this thread is the TGI thread and I’m only running TGI right now. But it seems to upset people so I’ll refrain - but try to stop me from posting pictures of the noms! “You’ll never take me alive, copper!”

If you approach this as black and white you’re destined to just be a zealot for a certain train of thought.

Just my .02.

After all, the best to ever do it was squatting and DLing 800, benching and rowing 500 regularly. I’d say he was pretty big and full.
