I am 23 years old and have been lifting for a few years now. I have always taken suppliments but I would really like something more. I have bulked and cut and bulked and the results are there for sure but I feel like my gains in strength and hypertrophy could be boosted if I cycled a PH. I was looking into Super DMZ 2.0 and 3.0. Would it be possible to just take 1 cap a day for 60 days and not run a PCT? or would that just be a waste. I am not looking for some super 500 dollar stack that will be subjecting my liver and kidneys to all kinds of different things. I am a noob though when it comes to this stuff so If anyone can point me in the right direction for a first timer that would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
 
Welcome to the forums, I definitely do not recommend either of those products to you. They're for experienced users only who know what to expect and how to prevent sides before the occur, or swiftly treat them as they do. And a pct is required with all hormonals. Cycle smart and safe please.

Read my following posts please, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

What would you recommend for a beginner like me? I was thinking about cutting in a month so I would be pretty ripped by July. I have been bulking since November of last year. I think If i started a cycle soon that would help me reach my goals for sure. Here are the current supplements I am on.

Muscletech Phase 8
ON Casein (some times substituted for a giant glass of 1% milk before bed)
Allmax Creatine
CL orange triad multivitamins
Fish oil
L-Carnitine to help keep fat off while bulking. I got it for free and it seems to work.
Jacked advanced forumla for my PWO.

its possible to run one for 60 days and not PCT...but your not gonna like the end result..so the answer would be no to that option...look at something like Halo-Extreme but even with that it will require a PCT..

Anytime you suppress your HPTA(ie;natural production)you will need a PCT to regain natural function..
 
Thanks guys lots of great advice. Really appreciate it. Any Kind of really bad side effects known with the stack you have Adrenoline? I would absolutely hate having problem getting an erection when I have a girl in bed. I mean thats pretty much the only reason I work out to begin with haha. I have heard of people in the past having those problems with Andro but maybe that was a different formula.

Epi andro will boost your libido and prevent lethargy... I recommend it with every stack. The entire stack itself ifs very mild, as long as you stay properly hydrated and take your sports you should be great! Best of luck.
 
My opinion has changed over the last several years regarding which steroids are appropriate for 1st time users. I no longer agree with the common concensus that 1st time users aren't "ready" for certain steroids. You will find a lot of people saying this, but quite frankly, the entire idea is bullshit. The body doesn't "adapt" or prepare itself for stronger muscle building steroids by using weaker AAS first. If you are going to have side effects or respond negatively to a certain steroid, that is going to happen whether it is your 1st cycle or your 20th cycle. In the same way, if you are going to respond well to a certain steroid, it is going to happen regardless of how many cycles you have run.

Go to any of the guys who say you should never use DMZ for a 1st cycle and ask them why. It will become quickly apparent that they have no idea what they are talkng about, as their response will be devoid of any rational or logical explanation for such a recommendation. Most of these guys are simply repeating what they heard others say, which most often came from other guys who were repeating what they heard others say...and on it goes.

In reality, there is no reason to "wait" to use certain products. Many, many guys had their 1st experience with AAS using stuff like Super DMZ and had a great experience. At the same time, there are guys who have been using steroids for 15-20 years who tried DMZ and did not like it (although there are much more positive reviews than negative). If you want to use DMZ 3.0, go for it, BUT...I strongly suggest that you research all 3 of the steroids contained in DMZ 3.0. Thoroughly familiarize yourself with them and also read other people's experiences with them, so you know what you are using and what to possibly expect. If you end up not liking it, then you can cross it off your list of potential steroids, but if you like it, then you will have found a great product for adding lean mass & strength.

If you look at the 1st cycle recommendations across the boards, you will find most people contradicting themselves massively. When using illegal steroids, you will find guys saying that someone should never run an oral-only 1st cycle, but then those same people will turn around and tell guys who only want to use leal steroids that it is completely find to use IML prodcts. Total hypocrisy! On top of that, testosterone is one of the most side effect ridden steroids in existence...much more so than Super DMZ. Not only is testosterone a potent androgen, but it also aromatizes and converts to DHT! That means if you are prone to hair loss, you will start losing your hair. It also frequenly causes acne and oily skin....and if you don't control your estrogen levels through the use of ancillary drugs, you will also start growing tits, gain bodyfat, and look like shit. I am not knocking testosterone, but the fact is that one needs to not only take ancillary drugs to control sid effects, but even with those ancillaries you will still experience a multitude of other visual and internal sides effects. The entire reason steroids were first invented was because testosterone had too many side effects!

These same people that tell others to use testosterine for a 1st cycle, will adamantly tella guy who only ants to use legal gear to stay away from DMZ, even thoigh DMZ causes hardly any of these sides, or is much less likely to do so. Super DMZ 3.0 does not aromatize, so you won't grow tits, hold water, or adding bodyfat. It is also much less likely to cause hair loss, oily skin, or acne. It will also make you harder, drier, and you will just plain look better than when using testosterone, not to mention that Super DMZ will make you stronger.

So, it is completely hypocritical to tell someone to use testosterone for a 1st cyce, but then tell those same people to avoid DMZ. Like I said previously, most of the time these people don't even know why they are making these recommendations. They are just repeating what they heard from others and 10 years from now they will be saying whatever is popular at that time. Opinions on this subject change with the wind, just as they have with every previous generation.

The fact is that Super DMZ 3.0, or any IML product for that matter, can be safely used by anyone, assuming no pre-existing health conditions are present and label recommendations are followed. I know lots of people, myself included, whose first experience with steroids was with very strong orals, and we loved it. If a certain steroid appeals to you after researching it, just make sure you use it properly--that is all there is too it.

I have put more thought into this subject than anyone I know and have written several artciles on it. So adamantly do I disagree with the heard mentality on this subject that I am fully prepared to take on anyone who wants to try and prove, with logic and commen sense, why DMZ can't be used for a 1st cycle. I find the entire argument absolutely ridiculous.

Very nice post Mike, I agree thoroughly. Most people are so eager to start their first cycle they neglect to research the compounds and typical sides, as well as how to prevent or treat them as they occur. For this reason, I typically recommend lighter compounds that are accompanied with less sides unless the user has displayed a level of knowledgebase.

...and Adrenolin...keep your sales scrounging to the open threads. This is my Q & A...a place where people can get no bullshit information without a sales agenda...not a place for you to try and net sales with your 20 product stacks!
 
In all reality I am not looking for some giant stack. I appreciate the help though with putting one together for me Adrenoline. I copied and pasted it into word and saved it for future reference. I think I may try it later on this year but for now I am looking for something more minimal. Are there any products out there these days that only really require 1-2 pills daily that will just help give me a little bit more of a boost in gains. Something that is not known for bad side effects or liver/kidney issues that does not require a pct? I am sorry I am sure you guys get noob questions like this all the time but there is just soooooo many products out there and I really need some advice from real people on forum before I go buying something and possibly hurting myself

Thanks!
 
Anything which doesn't require a PCT is going to provide muinimal gains.

If you want to run a minimalist stack while still making good gains, just choose a single methylated product and a simple OTC anti-estrogen (A.I.) for your PCT. While traditional PCT's are usually recommended, I know through experience that even an OTC AI can sometimes provide an adequate recovery. It has been years since I have gone through PCT (because I am on TRT), but prior to this I used to use Gaspari's Novadex XT (an OTC AI) after 30 days oral-only cycles and I made a FULL recovery every time.

So, you could always run a methyl of your choice, followed by an OTC AI like E-control (also made by IML) for 30 days. You may or may not experience a full recovery. It will be partly determined by your body's resilience, as well as how much the steroids affected your HPTA. Still, even if you didn't make a total recovery, you would be able to recover the rest of the way on your own within the next few months.

That is as cheap and basic it is going to get. If you can't afford to buy at least 2 products (one steroid product and one PCT product), then you shouldn't be using AAS at this time.

The money is not really the issue. I just would have hated to blow 350 on a massive stack and have side effects and stop taking the stuff and be out 350 and in worse shape than before. Thanks a lot for the advice. Have any recommendations for a methylated product that would be good for me? Also i have heard of people having no harm done from their cycle, but then messing them selves up on there pct from strong estrogen blockers. Would novadex be a safe e blocker to go with? Thanks!

try

wks 1-4
M-sten
2 caps

acs
2 caps


pct
wks 5 - 8
nolvadex
20mg

acs
2 caps


but honestly, the original cycle I posted while much more expensive, would also be safer and more effective. It's minimalistic in terms of sides

I lol'd. This isn't the "Q & A with Mike Arnold" thread.. and I haven't posted any bullshit information. Thanks for the laughs brother.

Botomline:

1.) The side effects are blown out of proportion

2.) All of the IML products are safe when used responsibly.


...period.


AI's aren't going to "mess-up" anyone during PCT. Even the worst side effects an AI can cause are relatively mild and temporary, so there is no "messing yourself up" by using an OTC AI during PCT.

If you want to make great gains, while not spending excessive amounts of cash, choose a single methyl and preferably 2 PCT drugs. DMZ 3.0 will provide the best gains, followed by M-sten, followed by Epi-tren. Choose one of them and run it for 4-6 weeks. Nice and simple.

For PCT, choose one SERM and one AI. That combination is ideal, as both of them will increase T production...and the AI will help keep estrogen levels under control while test levels go back up. That AI is important because it prevents estrogen-induced negative feedback from occuring as T levels rise during PCT. When you use a SERM alone for PCT, T levels rise, but so do estrogen levels...and as soon as estrogen levels rise, the pituitary senses this and stops or slows down LH production, which translates into slowed or stopped T production. By using an AI in concert with a SERM (I prefer Clomid, especially when an AI is used with it, you will increase T production to a maximum, which is exactly what we are trying to accomplish during PCT.

You say money is not the issue. If so, you can either do what is best for you and follow this advice...or you can write it off as ncorrect and continue asking others in the open forum, while continuing to get the wrong answers.

I recommend Cycle Support during every cycle for obvious reasons. Do you "need" it? No, not if you are only planning on runningonly a few cycles and quitting, but if you are going to be regularly using AAS over the years, then you should be using it. Personally, I use it all the time, but I also use AAS regularly.

As for other on-cycle products, you can add other things to your single methyl, but how much you will benfit from it will vary. For example, if you are using DMZ 3.0...it is so powerfull that you should not expect to measurably increase your gains no matter what you add to it. If using weaker stuff, combining products will be of more value. If making gains is your #1 goal, then running a single string methyl at optimal dosages is best, which includes DMZ 3.0, M-sten, and Epi-tren. With DMZ 3.0, optimal dosing is 2 caps daily. With M-sten, optimal dosing it is 3-4 caps daily. With Epi-tren (the 3rd strongest IML muscle builder), optimal dosing is 4-5 caps daily. In this context, the word "optimal" is used to describe a dosing amount for the average user. Technically, I cannot recommend anything beyond label recommendations, so do not take that as a recommendation. Rather, I am simply teling you what has been proven safe and effective in a large number of users for each of the steroids in these products.

By the way, Nolvadex doesn't doesn't stop estrogen levels from rising. It simply pervents estrogen from attaching to certain receptor sites. Systematic estrogen levels remain unaffected, which means the brain-pituitary will still pick up on it...and as stated above, this elevated estrogen level will cause negative feedback and the subsequent suppression of T production. Nolvadex will still work for PCT, just not as well as a SERM and an AI.
