Been reading about Equipoise and wanna hear from people who've actually used it. How was your experience? Did you like it? Notice any sides that caught you off guard? Thinking of using it at low doses once I run out of primo.
Equipoise (EQ)
- Thread starter Ilovelearning
- Start date
Good to know thanks. And yeah everyone’s response to it is totally different.

I use EQ at 60percent of test, feels great .
How is your bloodwork?
Other than some vascularity not much to say at least in my case.
On a low dosage or a high dosage expect thicker blood which will show up in your blood results. Hematocrit and Hemoglobin may rise, check your BP regularly. My BP was fine, but my hematocrit was up a little, but nothing major but my dose was low.
Messes up my sleep (never exceeded 150 mg a week), and gives me a major increase in cardio output which is to be expected. It is used in many sports that have nothing to do with bodybuilding. I can take less breaks and hit the heavy bag longer or just get more sets in with less breaks due to the increased red blood cells - my endurance and stamina gets a major kick.
I did not notice a large increase in strength or size, but more vascular and yes I gained weight / size over a period of 4 months. It takes a long time to kick in so if your impatient, this isn't the compound for you.
Don't recommend it in higher dosages due to potential side effects especially if you are older.
Some love it / many don't. If you do a search it is often referred to a young man's compound which I would disagree with if used in low dosages.

Love it. Never disappoints but Iike many of my true loves.....I can't usecit anymore. Jack's my bp and the effects on rbc production now scare me a little as I age.
It has to be run hard and long to see its magic.....when run that way, it really shines. But one then must consider risk...like all others. I would always use it for trying to add. Nothing made me more hungry but many would use it in deficit instead.
Then there's the EQ anxiety feeling that some experience. This never showed up as anxiety for me. It felt just like hypoglycemia....it shouldn't be hypoglycemia, it can't be hypoglycemia....but it sure felt that way....and eating always resolved the feeling. For someone who has never understood or experienced hypoglycemia, I understand why it gets labeled as anxiety. For me though, it was distinctively different.
Best possible explanation that I could ever spitball was potential disruption/interference with glucose production/regulation. But that's trying to fit an answer into the question. Still have never pinned down this conundrum.

As mentioned in “what’s your summer cycle” currently on 2.1g EQ 1.75g Test C and loving it. I preached it for years and tried and tested by many Pros it is my favourite compound and absolutely holds up to its name as a “volumizer” to your cycle from endurance to appetite to estrogen control to conditioning to lean dry gains and strength to vascularity and stamina etc etc it’s basically a complimentary drug. Zero ai. Zero caber. Zero nors. Zero orals. Zero tren/deca. Zero bullshit. Cleanest most simple effective stack I truly believe is EQ/Test hands down. Blood volume issues can always be managed easily if all protocols on deck followed etc. 6 months blast of 2.1g EQ 1.75g Test C 4ius hgh / 50mcg lr3 30ius lantus / 10ius rapid pre and post currently 3 months in and growing scary well in comparison to others blasting a mix of random shit and orals. EQ is the fucking shit. Only way to know is to try it. Like I always say, 2ccs a day keeps the doctor away! Happy blasting y'all, cheers!
I found that to get good results from eq i need a high dose for a long time. Like 900mg/week for about 20 weeks, which is not something i am willing to do anymore.
But i did so in the past and had great results.

Feel the exact same.
I haven't run at levels where caped crusader is talking.....but in my experience 900mgs is where you really notice what this drug does. Fir me 1200.... it really starts to shine and upwards can be quite an experience. Like everything once so high, all it felt like was dramatic increase in undesirable and real unhealthy sides so the returns weren't worth the risks.
That was long ago and with much different priorities and zero regard and little concern about longevity.
I wouldn't endorse that type of usage, but I'm sure if one could look back into some old threads on other boards from a time ago you would see me saying 1200-1600mgs of bold is an absolute gamechanger.
But now I think more about the other side of all that game changing lol.

im taking 600 mgs weely with 800 test,my body loves it,but ive did it many times, this is the first times in years im back on cycle and its only week 4 out of 15 so far,but the veins are huge and its doing what its supposed to so far,it takes so long to kick in fully,thats the only down part i feel,but i know people that would have pulled back around week 4 or 5 because they get so anxious they cant move or think,and if that happens,it takes along time to feel better, ive never had this problem,and i stick with 600 mgs,no need for more in my eyes,but who knows might give 300 mgs more a go soon

ive never went passed 600,but maybe ill try a extra 300 weekly just to see whats gonna happen,600 does so much for me
Grew a horse cock and started craving grains and wheatgrass.
Personally I like it. Helps manage E2 is a bonus. It’s relatively cheap to run especially compared to Primo. It’s a compound that people seem to have adverse experiences with. Some people like it, some don’t.
Only issue with me is it will make my Hemoglobin / Hematocrit creep up, but donating blood takes care of that very effectively.
Is there another compound besides that you’d replace EQ for? Besides the obvious primo.

DHB is the poor mans primo
I loved EQ when I was in my 30's. even 40's
but now would not touch it at my age
Haven’t tried DHB yet, but that would be on the list.
I’ve heard that the PIP could be absolutely brutal on dhb. No matter the brew

depends who brewed it
I know a lab that has pain free dhb for most and a bit of pip to those more sensitive to pip
