I know this may be a stupid question but ChatGPT is such a panty twist about gear talk. Is there any ai that will actually cycle plan or not just keep telling you consult your dr that it cannot help?
Not to off topic post but my gym was more packed than Jan 1 today for LDW. I saw maybe 4-5 faces that looked like my everyday normal people.
Had to change my whole order of workout due to people sitting on pec fly and other machines. How can someone sit on a machine and I get 2 movements with 3 sets and a drop set in and still be there? Idgaf if you’re wearing over ear headphones and or gym muscle mami outfits etc but is that not bad etiquette? Thank god I’m on cruise.. rant over
Anyone else get discouraged or down after coming off a blast back into a cruise? Finally 3 weeks off and my energy levels and drive just aren’t the same - strength yes but I’m not seeing 1800s vampirian village battles when I blink my eyes anymore
What do you guys do to pass the time until next blast?
So I’ve had bicep tendinitis/very minor partial tear in my coracoid process in the shoulder PRP in February of this year has helped me immensely. I’ve been progressing very good with my weights back to pressing 80 pound dumbbells. I finally decided to take a week off on vacation this week after lifting for like Six months straight.
I even lifted today and did shoulders felt great at the end of the day. I felt like I should do a doorway stretch the stretch my chest out a bit, but now I noticed that my right shoulder does not hurt, but it does feel something in there not really even pain just like a tell that it flared. Is there any really good stretch for a bicep tendinitis issue that I have or is it better left not stretched.
What’s the real truth on Deca and NPP sides of anxiety / depression? I really want to get going on one of these for a joint protocol to help me 100mg a week max
I’m worried about the anxiety/depression as I already had bad anxiety my whole life but test has taken it away. Is there more anxiety or side prone with deca vs NPP even tho it’s the same compound
A friend recently bought EP brand test - Anyone have recent experience with Euro Pharm testE or testC200/250 Is this brand smooth or PIPy?

Gear I found in my stash from 2015. Always stored in a cool dark closet and wanted to see if anyone knew the brand? I’m assuming not stealth labs as it’s from a local gym guy back in the day.
Think it’s safe to run? Oil looks good and clear no floaters or anything. Also found 50 Greek Bayer Testoviron amps 250mg/ml. Those also would be safe to use from 2012-13 if sealed in amps ?
Long story short I posted here month or 2 ago about knee pain and my e2 being 17 while test level being 1400. The TRT clinic and my GP both said my knee pain after starting TRT was definitely not e2 related
Fast forward I started taking 40mg a day of anavar on July 1 and my knee and joint pain went away for the whole month. After stopping anavar 4 weeks later my knee pain and other aches have come back.
Is it just that anabolics will make joints and tendons feel better or was this an e2 rise ( have not taken bloods yet I’m waiting until 9/1) that contributed to my joint health? Anyone ever have that happen to them even with taking more test or other compounds on a blast?
40yo 235lb I’ve been seeing amazing results on my joints from taking Anavar (40mg) while on TRT 120mg test and realize once I come off var I may have to supplement with something more long term. A trainer recommended me Deca but as all you know the horror stories get pumped on it which makes me curious about NPP.
I was told take 50mg of Deca a week to sooth joints but not get the sides. Which compound would be better and what’s a good minimal dose? Also will I need caber/proviron on hand? And will I see any good androgenic or muscle gain results from that low or a dose or just the joint support
Only talking PIP / quality wise
Which brand is preferred?
Have been looking for a good quality Yachtmaster ii rep and have read the movements are not perfect which is fine with me. Is the one on Andiot Watches any good? See photo attached

I’ve finally found voltaren after a 2 week meloxicam run has helped my bicep tendinitis and front shoulder pain immensely. How long can I use this cream ? It’s been about a 10-14 day use but I just want to make sure I’m not going to abuse it
First time BPC user here and just got my vials. I always was under the impression this was to be done subQ but 2 friends of mine say do IM
I was going to order 29g 1/2in insulin pins and backload
What is the best way to do this for a front bicep tendonitis/shoulder injury? Do I do Delt IM in my lateral delt? Or sub q in front of the shoulder
Backstory: I’m 40 6’0 230lb I’ve lifted my whole life since 18yo old
last May 2025 I was doing alot of bent over bb rows and pullups and either developed bad tendonsis or like my ortho says from MRI partial tear in the bicipital groove area/ganglion cyst in the shoulder
Took almost May to January off with stints of band work and light lifting but finally got a PRP injection into my shoulder in Feb 2026 which with 1 month self PT and 1 week off post shot basically had me lifting 70lb dumbells again for incline press ( I never thought I’d lift again ) I try to limit overhead work for triceps and only do overhead shoulder press as a treat some shoulder days
10days ago I did overhead rope extensions for triceps being brave and I had the cable at the 2nd to top so I was going down not up for reference of tension and I noticed my shoulder tweaked lightly from the flexion and angle so I stopped that movement and moved on
Took a day or so off went back feels funny but was able to do chest and triceps no prob , back day I could not do direct bicep work again it just felt not good. Now I’ve been voltaren’ing / meloxicam 15mg last 7 days and icing.
I have an appointment for a cortisone shot Wednesday but figured I’d ask you guys here if anyone would think
BPC is more beneficial than that cortisone shot. I’ve never had a cortisone shot and am kind of nervous
I have to travel for work and was wondering if I take some of my UGL Test C and put it into a prescription clinic TRT vial I had just finished last month if that would be sterile?
I have a legit script for that bottle and would only need to bring 250ml and .2 extra.
Just wondering if that is sterile practice if transferred properly with an air vent syringe and then shooting the 1.2ml in
Have been on 120mg TRT since feb1 just increased dose to 250 as of June 1st and noticed I’ve been getting mild headaches the last week after taking a tadalafil. I’m on Valsartan to keep BP controlled but I have checked it daily to maintain an avg
Avg BP 115/75 / 120/80
- never taken an AI my e2 was undwr 30 on my last bloods im a low aromatizer
- i hydrate a gallon a day if not more
- i do cardio daily 20-40min bike
Anybody ever feel slight headache or off after switching doseage higher before levels or half lives sync up?
I’ve switched dose from 2 60mg pin a week to 100mg twice a week and I felt an odd headache feeling which was not BP related as my pressure was 110/80-109/85 avg
Has anyone ever noticed spot injecting like almost synthol/oil help expand muscle tissue (ie bicep/tricep/delt)?
Have been considering synthol for my bi/tris but wondering if 1 ml in ea a week would make any diff if I was to work that muscle group the day of pinning
So I finally left the trt clinic (ripoff) and my GP who is super cool and actually looks like he’s on test picked up my script.
I’m taking 120mg a week but wanted to run higher dose for summer 250-500mg but have settled on 250mg unless you guys think it’s too light ( will run bloodwork myself mid and post )
I have to go back to see him for bloodwork in the beginning of September - how can I do this and bring my levels back to reasonable numbers in time for that?
