I don't think anyone has suggested more gear; I certainly didn't. Thanks for the advice! Are you saying my first cut didn't work? Although I wasn't satisfied with the rate of fat loss and probably could have cut even further (I was focused more on gaining muscle mass than being lean), I feel...

Most folks here are saying "you're fat" or "I'm bigger" or "you're scrawny", which isn't helpful at all. I'm trying to get a better understanding by asking questions. Sorry you see that as argumentative. I'm confident the macro content of food varies naturally by at least as much or more than...

What I mean is that I target X and Y grams of protein and carbs instead of I and J grams of chicken and rice. This lets me swap out for beef, turkey, pork, bread, pasta, etc. I think we are talking about the same thing just from different directions. I'm measuring performance, and that's going...

I prefer measuring meals in macros because it seems more precise and more flexible. Any advice on other tools? Quantitatively, I'm also using lifting weight as an indication of growth. I don't yet measure fat with calipers or size with a measuring tape. It may be the case that I started out...

Mayber 4 like the former and 3 like the latter, including one IFBB pro. The major difference between the former and latter is full-body vs push/pull/legs. Comparing to google image search results that show bodies and their percentage BF, so definitely not scientific. I'm not really sure what...

I've had about 6 trainers/coaches over the years and read a lot and watched numerous videos. I'd love to hear where you think I've gone astray.

Probably around 8-10% body fat HCG was in short supply which meant constantly calling, reserving a single vial that lasted a week, going to pick it up... It didn't seem worth the price or effort. Dr suggested I use Clomid at least. What do you mean outcompete the estrogen? My understanding is...

Current diet and training are outlined above; it hasnt been that way all 16 years. Sleep is about 8 hours a day. Could also be genetics? I don't recall. Diet is outlined above; only thing I can think of doing is reducing carbs, but that seems to be key for the bulk. Where am I going wrong on...

Confirmed; When you say titrate, do you mean slowly increase the dose? I target 10-12 reps for 3 sets on each exercise. If I can get to 12 reps on each of the three sets, I increase the weight the next time I do that exercise. There are about 8 exercises per workout. I've been rotating through...

I'm just completing my second cycle and I'm seeking advice on my next; my goal is to get bigger. I'm 40 years old; my lean body weight going into the first cycle was about 150lb, probably 7-8% bodyfat. Both my first and my second cycles were 500mg Test-C, 250mg Deca, pin twice a week, for 16...

I live pretty clean but at least one of my prior vials got infected somehow after a few weeks. Rather be safe than sorry. I prefer to resurrect and keep it all in one place =)

I screwed up and forgot to wipe the top of a vial with alcohol. Worried about it possibly infecting the whole vial, I used a sous vid bath as a disinfectant. I submerged the vials as far as the neck and made sure the temperature of the air surrounding the top of the vial reached 176 (which...

Ordered in July during the 4th BOGO sale. Quick communication; took about a week to receive.

That sounds like storing them improperly for a while at ones home then at the very least transferring them in a dangerous way to the sharp container in the bathroom.
