    How long would it take to become a bodybuilder?

    I'm curious about the time it takes to become a bodybuilder, aiming to compete on stage with strict training and following a calorie-specific regimen. How long would it roughly take for someone whose body isn't in great shape to become stage-ready? I want to achieve this without excessively...

    Epinephrine injections vs pills

    The initial step involves a challenging concoction, followed by brisk movement around the room in a rhythmic manner. It's crucial to have it during the earlier part of the day; otherwise, it might disrupt sleep, but its effectiveness in reducing fat is notable.

    Cut or bulk"?

    It's good to start by staying lean as it helps your body maintain its muscle better. When you're lean, your body tends to convert less into estrogen. Try aiming for less than 15% body fat. Some bodybuilders, especially those competing or modeling, set this as their highest limit. Consider using...

    How does your average day look like?

    I wake up between 4:30 and 5:00 every morning. I start with an hour of cardio, then head to work. I either work from home or walk to the office; my work hours are from 6 am to 2 pm. After work, I hit the gym for about four sessions a week. In the evening, I do another 30 minutes of cardio. I...

    I prefer using sleeves when doing pressing exercises. And if your aim is to grow your muscles (hypertrophy), make sure to lower the leg press machine deeply.

    I feel like things are finally falling into place with my bodybuilding journey at 34. I've reached a point where my diet and training are consistent, and I'm loving the progress without using any steroids. Planning to start a cycle in Feb/March and expecting great results. Honestly, it's a bit...

    Rectus Femoris strain

    I faced a similar issue before. Based on my experience, I suggest waiting until the pain subsides. It took me around two weeks to feel better, but I made the mistake of initially ignoring the pain and carrying on. If you wait right from the start, the discomfort should fade within 5 to 7 days...

    take creatine on a cut?

    I take creatine throughout the year, whether I'm trying to cut or bulk. If your diet is good, it should work fine. Creatine mainly helps prevent muscle breakdown and aids in recovery.

    Cardio cycling?

    If you're feeling excessively tired, try sticking to your regular calorie intake for 1-2 days to bring your energy levels back down. Keep your exercise routine and fat-burning supplements unchanged. During this period, increase your carb intake by eating a bit more of the usual carb-rich foods...

    What's your take?

    I think the specifics don't really matter much, and getting a direct answer might be tricky. The main focus during cutting should remain consistent with your training to preserve muscle. Cardio serves as a way to increase the number of calories you burn. There isn't a clear-cut answer here...

    Just started a cycle with Test E 300mg and Deca 300mg.

    It's okay to inject both compounds in one syringe. Once a week should be fine, but splitting it into two doses on Monday and Thursday works too. As for the ratio, aim for double the dose of testosterone compared to deca - like 600 of test and 300 of deca could be good. My initial cycle was...

    Time for some size!

    What if we reduce the fat by 30 grams, making it 270 calories, and then use those calories to add more protein? That would mean aiming for about 67 grams of added protein, alongside 300 grams of carbs and 70 grams of fat. This adjustment aims to balance things out, considering that excessive fat...

    Has anyone here traveled with HGH?

    I'm looking for a reliable cold pack to carry them, but the ones on Amazon have mixed reviews regarding their ability to stay cold. I've heard that people using insulin sometimes use Yeti cups, but I couldn't find information on the specific packs they use inside. If anyone has firsthand...

    Is there concern about prion diseases from impure peptides?

    Prion diseases involve misfolded proteins that prompt the body to produce more of them, causing serious damage to the brain. I came across this topic in a forum and I'm curious if this risk is real when dealing with impure peptides.

    If I'm not worried about losing fat with HGH use, do I need to be concerned about T3/T4 levels? I've read that increased T3/T4 is how HGH helps with body fat loss.
