I don’t disagree with anything you’ve stated and I certainly don’t take offense.
I am under no false pretenses. Just being this heavy is unhealthy and gaining this much so quickly is extremely stressful on my body.
I don’t think this cycle was too over the top. Overly complicated? Sure. But that’s because I wanted to experiment with a bunch of things: dbol, drol, double 19 nor. This was very much an experiment and I have learned a lot.
Not over the top in comparison to some of these cats running 3+grams total, but the over complication makes it hard to judge things accurately.
For instance, could the tren/deca combo have been wicked awesome and you didn’t even know it because the slin smoothed out the shreds? Between deca and dbol and drol, the water weight and glycogen retention alone makes it hard to see what’s really going on.
The soup analogy is pretty good if you haven’t heard it. When making a new soup, a good chef will taste the soup after every addition, never adding too much, or more than one thing, at a time. That way, when it’s perfect, you know exactly the recipe, and when it’s not, you know what just effed it up.
On my way up to a solid 320, I competed at 275 multiple times and was running crazy cycles and complicated cycles and eating dirty often and blowing up fast, but I always felt it, and I looked like I felt it too.
Coming back down from 320, when I hit 275 again, it was basically on trt, my diet was on point, and THAT 275 felt 100x better than the 275 with a bunch of compounds.
I’m not trying to say not to experiment, just that a good experiment limits variables to get precise results.
