Hi guys i have a question regarding leg development, this is a problem that has plagued me for the last 20 years of training im currently 6'2 tall my bodyweight is currently 301 lbs off season bulk CURRENTLY NATURAL, i have trained completely natural most of my entire life and only have tried one cycle of test enanthate at one gram a week and suffered horrendous bloat and high blood pressure. Have been completely natural ever since that experience my question is this, i struggle severely to bring out my quads im 6'2" same height as arnie and i have a long femur bone similar to arnie, i recall arnie had this same problem and was never able to bring true mass to his quads, im suffering the same problem, how can i bring true mass to my quads? My legs are strong as hell i can squat 485lbs for 6 reps natural, i can squat 529lbs max totally natural, front squat 441lbs for reps , i do heavy hacks for reps, tried heavy leg press for reps & high rep work ive hammered my legs into oblivion for 20 years and not seen much progress apart from strength gains ive tried every type of training protocol, forced reps, pre exhaustion, supersets, giant sets, dropsets etc etc, nothing seems to work i start contest prep on cycle from january, so i need to bring up my quads before i get on stage, the only thing i cant do nowadays is leg press because it blows my back out, i have a herniated disk and leg press aggravates it but everything else im fine. please help me.

Hey guys big fan! Anyways I was wondering how do you guys deal with keeping your RBC count under control? I use very moderate dosages of AAS. I'm currently cruising on 180mg of test cyp right now. For my last contest I blasted 50mg EOD tren A and took some Winstrol. Now my RBC count is elevated and I'm going to donate blood. Is part of this genetic?
Also how do the pros and other people who run high doses deal with this? Do they do self blood letting? Thanks guys

First off awesome podcast. The information is structured and to the point. Appreciate the knowledge base you and your guests hold, and I wish you all the best.

Prior to my first cycle I was approximately 180 Lbs and 12% BF.

I am 30 years old 5-11", 215 Lbs and approximately 15% BF. I have run two cycles first was;

Test E 500mg /week
Deca 300mg/week

12 week cycle and I dropped the deca after week 10. Performed PCT and made a close to full recovery in regards to my testosterone count in post blood work and overall mood (I would have considered it a succesful cycle I maintened my size and weight for the most part. Second cycle I waited 4 months after PCT and ran;

Test E 500mg/week
Deca 300mg/week
T-bol week 1-6 @ 100mg/day
Anavar week 6-14 @ 60 mg/day

Total 12 week cycle, dropped the deca at week 10 once again but rode out the anavar right up to PCT. Even better cycle and all is well have not had post bloods yet but plan to very soon.

Now my actual question sorry for the intro. I want to run my next cycle like so;

Test E 250mg /week
Tren E 150mg /week
D-bol week 1-4 @ 60mg/day (just to get some quick strength not concerned with water weight etc).
Anavar week 6-14 @ 60 mg/day

12 week cycle. Would you agree with my first tren cycle that keeping the tren low and test low too or do you think this will be a wasted cycle? Should I run them equal at 250 this is the suggestion I keep hearing from gym bros but they also have backs covered in acne and are 10 years my junior so yeah... I am in it for the long haul as I am not a competitor. Goal as always build lean muscle without gaining unnecesary fat. Thank you.

Just an FYI my PCT looks like so;

Week 15-18
Clomid 100/100/50/50
Nolva 40/40/20/20

I run Arimidex EOD @ .25mg throughout my entire cycle and PCT. If you have any suggestions here feel free although I have not had any bad experiences with PCT, any "advices" is always good.

I'm currently on a peptide and insulin cycle as I'm highly predisposed to baldness, I've researched 99% of all the current anabolic steroids but all affect the hairline in one way or another, is there anything new on the scene such as SARMS or Ecdysteroids that can build a good amount of muscle without affecting the hairline ?

Hey Scots! Love the show. You've already helped my avoid some mistakes. I'm 48. I competed as a novice around the turn of the century and did about 2 years of cycles working my way up to about a gram of test a week with dbol thrown in for the off season and then winny and tren pre contest. I didn't know much. I've been training all the while since but with no gear. Just finished my first cycle again. 20 weeks of 1.5 mls of test cyp a week, so 375 mg. I haven't paid a lot of attention to diet but I have made sure of getting approx. 200grams of preotein a day. I went from 200lbs to 225lbs in the first 10 weeks. Then I've been stuck there for the next 10 weeks of the cycle. What's going on? Should I have just stopped after 10 weeks, upped the dose or something else. Hoping you can shed some light on this so I can better plan the next cycle. Thanks for the effort and passion you guys put in to this show. It's admired and appreciated..

I wanted to have you critique my off season cycle. I am wanting to gain a good amount of size and do it right. I am 6'1 26 years old 210 lbs (started lifting at 148 lbs at 18). I have done 3 cycles all for preps. One was for a show and other 2 were for mock preps just to learn my body and have fun with the process. I was told by my coach this would be a good bulking cycle feel free to suggest differently...
test cyp 750 weeks 1-16 (never taken more than 500)
Anadrol 50 mg weeks 1-4 (never taken)
Deca 600 weeks 1-8 (never taken)
EQ 600 weeks 8-16 (most I've taken is 400)
Arimidex 1-16
I have never taken a cycle for gaining mass and would love to hear your recommendations and adjustments and reasoning behind it.

I am the same one that asked about the pct and having breakouts when coming off. Considering I don't want to be a quitter as S2H calls it I am considering just cruising instead of pct. The only question I have about that is does this put me at risk for not being able to have kids? I'm 26 and plan to try have kids in 3 or 4 years? What would you recommend to help keep the ability during cruising or what would you recommend at the time of trying to have kids? Or is this really just another lie the media puts out about steroids? Thanks and love the show!

Hi Scott,

I'm 23 6.5ft tall, 230lbs, probably 18-20% bf. Am academic. Never cycle.
I study training and macro nutrient manipulation in grad school.
I am not planning to competing, but need to look the part to succeed as a trainer with more reach on social media and in higher priced markets Like LA and Miami.

I Have researched all the steroids for about 6 weeks now.
I get cycling can be very hard on the endocrine system and HPTA. I read staying on until you get the look you want then coming off is best.

I plan on doing 12 weeks to diet off fat
Tbol 6 weeks 40-60mg ec
Test e 250 .5ml t,Fri
Aromasin 6-12mg eod or Ed as needed
Nolvadex 20mg ed if a flair up occurs

6 week bridge
Test e 200mg wk
HCG 250-500iu 2xwk
Nolvadex 20mg Ed
Clomid 50/5025/25
Aromasin as needed to control estradiol

Then blast 16 weeks
Test e 350mg Wk
Deca 300mg Wk
Tbol first 6 weeks 40-60mg Ed

Then do a longer pct and come off completely

What do you think, any variations, variables to be tweaked or advice?
I ask you specifically cause if bioscience is dangerous in one area of advice it's this. The message boards are full of morons.

Hi Scott and S2H, I've been reading recently that high estrogen can affect the prostate but some further research seems to suggest that that isn't correct. I'm now not sure whether high estrogen does or doesn't affect the prostate, can you advise ?

Hi Scott, can you advise if running Clenbuterol causes any issues with BPH ? During my clen cycle I have issues urinating ( restricted flow ) but only during the night. When I come off clenbuterol it takes a few weeks but the issue goes away. Why does clenbuterol do this ?
