Excellent work man, I like poppin in on your log and reading through the last few pages every once in a while. Inspiring to say the least.

Do you take measurements, do weigh-ins, and take progress pics? Curious to see all of those.

Also, I don't know much about EQ, but if you were to name 3-4 goods, and 3-4 bads, what would they be? If any bads. I've heard great things but haven't researched much about it for myself.

I can chip in with my 02 cents here...

Goods to EQ: Crazy appetite, fantastic endurance, very good stripping qualities if you stay on long enough, Dry, granite like appearance at the end of the cycle.

Bads to EQ: Takes absolutely ages to get to work (16 weeks minimum for length of course), increases RBC and Hematocrit (donating blood is a must, before, during and after cycle) Raised appetite (if cutting), Very suppressive.

I'm sure Schredder can add anything I've missed though...

My original plan was to post before and afters at the end but I wont be posting pictures any more due to my privacy.

I will post weight at the end though. I also have a few weight updates throughout this thread.
So EQ is a decent compound. Ive used it twice. Would I use it again? No

EQ pros: Very mild on your system, increased appetite, slow steady LMM gain (prevents a easy come easy go situation)

EQ cons: Raises you hemocrit fast than any other compound, must be ran for a very ling time at a decent weekly dose (this can become costly), takes a very long time to see physical changes from it.

If it were a gun fight you got it outta the holster first brother!! Lol. Yup pretty well bang on, it dose give you very good look once your done.

But for me just for the fact it has to be ran for soooooo long, I wont run it again. There are other compounds that will do more in a fraction of the time.

^^^ AGREE WITH THIS COMMENT ^^^
If I wasn't on TRT and suppression was a worry, then I wouldn't entertain Eq - the length of the cycle makes it harder to rebound for sure.

Absolutely, but the appetite while in it is the BOMB. Add some Tren to that and its out of control. Mind you, some peoples appetites gets killed from Tren.

That reminds me of an update actually.

So last time I ran Tren I experienced basically no sides other than the odd hot flash and some deadly heartburn. But this time im noticing some new things happening. Terrible sleep for the most part for the past two weeks (I do have prescribed sleeping pills but dont like to overdue it on stuff like that, so I use them sparingly), night sweats this time around, not soaking wet but damp the whole night. And something odd I found that ive actually read some guys getting before is paranoia at night, not bad, but as it gets later in the day I notice it slightly.

On the other hand, appetite is through the roof, so is sex drive. I have no anger issues (I attribute this to not having any when im not on anything as well) I actually feel like a god most day, very euphoric and so intensely focused on anything Im doing. My strength is rising quickly, and am changing, looks wise, by the day.

So hats off to the AML tren E, excellent stuff!!!!!

I wasn't aware that Tren increased appetite mate... I wonder why so many people run it pre-comp?
I know it has devastating aesthetic appeal, but how do guys contend with the hunger pangs when cutting?

For me it does and I know other guys who it does the same for. I remember the last time I ran it it was the same thing. I ate everything in sight, my diets wasnt as good as it should have been at that point but I still built muscle and looked super shredded. This time my eating habbits are MUCH better so the results are too.

Ya Im not sure how one would deal with the extra hungry pangs from a drug on top of the ones that are already there.

guys run it pre contest due to it ability to prevent muscle wasting from being in a caloric deficit and its ability to increase feed efficiency, an asset when cals are low and of course theres nothing that will make you look how Tren does!!

Shit, after our protein waffle/pancake incident on Sunday I don't want any BOMB's going off in the kitchen...

Hahaha! What happened? Did you blow the top off the Ninja?!

Hahaha! What happened? Did you blow the top off the Ninja?!

Fiance wanted to make protein waffles on Sunday but I accidentally gave her a protein pancake recipe...which dripped all over the place in the waffle maker (I had no idea they were different consistencies etc)

So she added a bunch of oats to thicken it, but I cleaned the waffle maker in the sink and she's worried about getting electrocuted from some residual water etc so rather than arguing I said ok lets make them into pancakes...

So, the batter was then too thick and it was taking ~15 minutes per pancake between the cooking, cleaning/scraping and re-coconut oiling...to top it off she quadrupled the recipe so we're into this fucker for 1000ml worth of eggwhites, a decent amount of natural protein powder, oats and a pound of cottage cheese

All I really wanted to do was watch casino royale in my underwear, drink coffee with eggnog and try to do a standing backflip

That sounds like a huge pain in the ass man lmfao. Ohhh man, it always seems to go sideways when the ladies decide they want something 'interesting' for breakfast. Lol.

I just don't get why breakfast needs to be interesting.

for me:
250g oats
1 protein shake
5g creatine

is all I ever need. What could possibly be more beautiful than that?
Tasty, sure there's more tastier breakfasts.....but my smug satisfaction that I have a better body than 99% of the world is a taste good enough for me

I feel the offseason is the time to have a little more variety than we usually get with food

No reason to burn out on protein powder and plain oats when we're targetting 4000-4500cal/d

There's plenty of room there for some protein pancakes, a hamburger or even sweet potato fries once in awhile

Train hard, eat (mostly) clean & grow...
