Looking solid Nate, well done so far!

Increasing your cycle to 20 weeks should be fine in my opinion. 16-20 weeks for Equi is fairly standard and you should have to worry about any extra negatives in that 4 week period

:ohmy: an insult at it's best :lol:

Looking good Nate!!

Good work Nate + 1

Or maybe she's just looking for an excuse to see him weekly to touch his muscles....

Good job Nate.

Nice progress Nate. Keep it up bud! +1

Thanks guys.

I appreciate all the encouragement and advice very much.
Working hard and will continue to do so!

Nate

Well done my brother. +1

Morning guys,

Just to update you - I have officially extended my cycle by a month.

The equi was definitely a much better choice then the DECA this time around.
I am not picking up the weight I was on DECA but my lean gains have been substantially more!

Thanks again for steering me in the right direction. I'm off to gym - legs day!!

Nate

Hardcore Nate40! Wishing you a smooth extra month. Planningto bridge the same as originally intended with Var and Prov? Hows's the sides from the Equi compared to last time's Deca? I expect +/- the same?

Cheers and looking solid!

Not the same brother Furk, deca makes you an asshole... ask my wife :woohoo:

Nice Nate!!! Awesome. +1 bro

Furk:
Thanks for the cool comments my bro. The sides with the equi have been substantially less! I have had hardly any bloating and water retention, no sore tits and no signs of DECA dick.
As Fillet said, my mood has also been much much better.
I plan on 8 weeks of var carrying over my bridge, along with proviron and test prop EOD.

Cyclo:
Thank you my bro. I appreciate that. Trying my best every session. One day at a time so they say.

Have a great day guys!

Nate

Good day Nate
congrats on your progress so far...you looking solid,bud:)
just thought I would rather comment on your thread with regards to a swollen prostate....you should go for regular check ups for your prostate so now would be a good time..
I'm not saying it is your prostate,but rather safe then sorry..
I had the same problem ...was also pissing alot and I did my prostate check...my doctor confirmed that it was swollen but nothing to worry about.
hope this helps:)
regards

Thank you G-man,
I appreciate the cool words.
And yes, I'm thinking it is time for a checkup. Sooner rather then later hey.

Saw palmetto, excuse spelling, great supplement to use at our age.

Thanks my bro. Never heard of that. Can I get it at the dischem? What does it do?
Warm regards,
Nate

saw palmetto Overview Information



Saw palmetto is a plant. Its ripe fruit is used to make medicine.

Saw palmetto is best known for its use in decreasing symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hypertrophy, BPH). According to many research studies, it is effective for this use.

Saw palmetto is used for treating certain types of prostate infections. It is also sometimes used, in combination with other herbs, to treat prostate cancer.

Some people use saw palmetto for colds and coughs, sore throat, asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and migraineheadache. It is also used to increase urine flow (as a diuretic), to promote relaxation (as a sedative), and to enhance sexual drive (as an aphrodisiac).



How does it work?

Saw palmetto doesn’t shrink the overall size of the prostate, but it seems to shrink the inner lining that puts pressure on the tubes that carry urine.

Wow thanks for the info Fillet. I may check this out and give it a try. Pissing up a storm the last few days.

Hi guys,

Quick update.
From Monday I am giving the Banting diet a bit of a go. Going to see how my body reacts.
My one weakness is still the odd fizzy cooldrink. But we going to try get rid of all sugar for a while and see what happens!

Hope I don't end up punching someone. Wish me luck!

Nate

Do you still want to pick up muscle or do you eant to solely focus on fat loss?

Still looking to pick up muscle my bro.
I just feel that I need to get rid of my few remaining bad dietary habits in order to lose the last bit of stubborn fat around my waist.
It really is bugging me!

Hay bud

Just a suggestion and this is what I am doing at the moment , maybe for now just focus on adding as much muscle mass as possible with your cycle and in your bridge cut down on the bodyfat

The bigger your muscle is the more calories it needs , so the easier it will be to get lean again

But again this is only a suggestion and the way I like to do things

I am thinking that is also a good idea. Thanks bro.
Just been battling to totally get rid of the damn fizzy drinks. But we'll get there!

Remember you need ample carbohydrate to build muscle effectively and you won't get this on banting. Most importantly, why go for banting if you know about Keto??
