Equipoise (EQ)

[CoolRick]

10 weeks is too short to run something with the Undecyclenate ester, which has a half life of ~14 days.

A general rule of thumb is that it takes 4-5 half life's to reach steady state blood levels, in this case 4x14=56 days or 5x14=70. This means that it takes between 8-10 weeks to reach optimal blood levels for growth.

This means you would be, essentially, spending your entire 10 week planned cycle letting your blood levels climb, only to then stop and let them start declining. 16-20 weeks is optimal when using Bold U (EQ).

This really depends on the person. I've taken EQ or deca and saw improvements within 1-2 weeks. Past 8-10 weeks and I see little to no benefit of staying on no matter the compound.

The idea that someone goes from 0mg of something and then put say 500mg in them and it takes 8+ weeks for it to "work" makes no sense. It starts working from the first shot. To what degree is highly individual. It's worth making the distinction IMO.

I never said it takes that long to work, any of us can understand logically that there will be some effect before 8-10 weeks.

That's why I made the important distinction saying 8-10 weeks to reach "optimal blood levels for growth" ie. Full saturation.

I been using Eq, since the early 1990 and I used less back than and it kicked in 4 weeks.
The doses back then we're 50mg, and we add size. The doses now are off the charts.
Back in the the late 1989, to 1990 it cycles were 6-12weeks.

Makes me way too hungry but I run it pretty much every cycle just gotta be careful with how it reacts on your estrogen sometimes have overshot it then e2 low I usually run it 3:1 2:1 with eq:t sometimes 60% drinks lots of water and do your zone 2 monitor bloods nice veins pumps and endurance

I'm currently running it at 2:1 ratio of test to eq. 5 weeks in and my estradiol is at 14 pg/mL with all the fun symptoms that come with that. I've started pinning hcg for some immediate relief and I'm dropping my eq dose to 1/3 test. If I can't get it under control, I'll dip into my stash of liquid gold (primo) instead.

Edit: for reference, my pre-blast bloods had my estradiol at 34 pg/mL. At that level I feel great and healthy.

I dont have bloodwork numbers to back anything up but eq is the only compound where i can really tell my e2 is in the shitter.
Primo or mast doesnt seem to do much in that regard
