Which Compound Surprised You the Most?

[Anabolix8]

I’ve tried a few compounds over the years, and some definitely didn’t match what I expected—both in good and bad ways.

What’s the one compound that surprised you the most?

Could be because of the results, strength gains, recovery, side effects, mood, appetite, or anything else.

What were you expecting, and what actually happened?

NPP and Anadrol for me. Was always a “dry” compound guy. Test, mast, primo, tbol, winny, and Anavar were my go to compounds.
Decided to really focus on growth and ran NPP alongside test and primo. Pulsed Anadrol in 2 week bursts preworkout.
HOLY SHIT- my initial reaction was “this is what steroids feel like”. It was what I thought gear would be like before I hopped on.
The scale was moving in the right direction, while my food was going up, appetite never went away, and the size, strength, and fullness were unlike anything I had experienced previously. My mood, libido, and drive were all excellent.
Blood work was also very good throughout the course with the exception of some test in a carrier oil that I didn’t agree with- swapped it out and all was good.
Overall, I was extremely pleased with both compounds, and look forward to running again!

That’s a great write-up. The line about “this is what steroids are supposed to feel like” really paints the picture.

For me, it was probably Tren. The rate at which strength and body composition improved caught me off guard. The results were incredible, but it also made me realize there’s a trade-off between maximizing progress and feeling your best day to day.

Sounds like you found a combination that worked exceptionally well for you though. Good gains, strong appetite, great gym performance, and decent bloodwork throughout is about as good as it gets.

I've seen this protocol a few times and seems interesting. Instead of doing 4 weeks, do 2 week mini cycles

How much Tren were you running? I’ve only gone up to 175 per week

I think it’s a good strategy. I believe this is why I kept my appetite throughout.
Probably not the absolute best for putting on size, but I wanted to keep my exposure on the lower end, as I look at this as a long game being in my 40s.
3 rounds of 2 weeks each and the bloodwork and blood pressure stayed in check. I’ll take that!

Are you saying kickstart 2wks, no oral 2wks, then 2wks on through cycle? Or kicker then 2wk introduction when needed once or twice again? Interesting I would be nervous to stack it with NPP like that even with Primo.. Seems like a recipe for a estrogen/ prolactin roller coaster.

Yah, a much more jacked and wiser man preached the anadrol pulsing.
It’s 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. Rinse and repeat. I did 3 pulses so my first 10 weeks of course.
I was taking my P5P and DIM, no issues with e2 or prolactin at all. In fact my prolactin was on the low side at 7.7, and my e2 stays right around 27-30 with that amount of primo.

Different ways to skin a cat, but I found this to work pretty good.
That being said, I run other orals traditionally.

Yeah for sure! I like the idea and might try that with cruise and Tbol one day.. thanks for answering!

Nice- love me some TBol. Now that’s a compound I can run for 6-8 weeks straight. Just kinda agrees with me!

Second this. Never a need for me to run more than 70mgs per week, using acetate. I've ran half that and it's still noticeable visually in the first 2 days. Have not ran tren, doubtful I ever will. Trest is everything I ever heard a steroid to be, and then some, the very damn day you pin it. Loooong recovery though. If you definitely want to be accused of using "Only creatine", this is ticket.

This was big in the early 2000's with Dr. D. Pulsing in 3x/week or week to week, two weeks to two weeks. It totally works for gains, but bloods (liver/cholesterol) didn't show too much difference pulsing as opposed to 1x/day before workouts consistently.

Like you said you can run anything the way you want and what works for you. No rules up in this bitch.

Meadows was a big fan of running anadrol a couple weeks at a time.

I found EQ to be surprisingly underwhelming at 600mg/week, on top of 1,200mg/week test e. I don’t think I’ll run it again.

 

[Lustyscripps]

Tren A. Had expectations to make massive strength gains- instead was met with pretty much instant gyno, and got flatter than an Indiana prostitute.

Will also chime in on Anadrol. My favorite steroid of them all- insane strength and fullness. Shit makes you feel like you’re on steroids.

 

[floridaman1984]

Tren and Npp. Im definitely a Nor19 fan.

Still have DHB on the to do list as well. Also want to give Ment a shot.
