30 year old bodybuilder from Pittsburgh

[mattlifts92]

Hey guys. I’m Jon, 30 years old. Personal trainer and bodybuilder, thinking of entering my first show in November. Been enhanced for about 8 months. (Did a 2-month “cycle” in 2018 came off due to heroin addiction.) Basically I’m looking for a good forum, not one filled with sponsor-dick-sucking and fake reviews. Looking for PROVEN legit edit poppy sponsors , and honest opinions, and somewhere to ask questions and learn all that I can. Thanks!

Thanks man. I emailed you but you can disregard it, I figured it out now. Still have a question regarding hematocrit and HDL if you have a second?

Welcome

You won’t be berated here. No insulting…our sponsors have been thoroughly vetted and provide quality products.

Ask any questions.

 

[Poppy]

The one thing we won’t do is recommend sponsors. You got to do your own research and own your decisions. If you search around here you’ll find pretty good reviews on them.

What’s the question? I go back on stage in a few so if I don’t get it I’ll get back to you. I’m competing up in Mass today was in PA 2 weeks ago. Lehigh valley championship

That’s awesome bro what division? And my hematocrit currently is 52%. Rbc isn’t crazy 309,000 (top of range is 400,000) On 750 test + 400 deca + 100mg/day Anadrol + 50mg/day winstrol for 3 weeks. Question is, if I quit the drol do you think my hct will go down? And is 52 really anything to worry about in the real world, or is it just bad on paper? As for HDL, it tanked to 18 but I think it’s from winny and I’m off that. Thanks man

Masters over 40 and light heavy in mens open. I would just go donate blood to drop rbc and drop the drol

Welcome and good luck @Kad1

Thanks bud. Looks like I’m shooting for second. Oddly enough I went to school with the guy that’ll probably win. He looks fantastic, 10lb heavier than me and great conditioning

Much better competition here

 

[mattlifts92]

You’ve got a better midsection, better arms. But these days in open it’s all about mass unfortunately. With your frame though, you’re a better, albeit smaller, bodybuilder.

 

[Kad1]

Yeah have to see what the judges think

 

[mattlifts92]

I’ve come to take reviews with a pile of salt unfortunately. Then again, I’ve been mainly on eroids so that speaks for itself lol. I’ll ask a vague but direct question - if you feature a sponsor on this forum, it’s 100% g2g?

I believe there’s been one or two over the years that have not done right. They’re no longer here of course.

To answer your question…the sponsors here have been everything they said they are.

People who live at higher altitudes can get up to 60%. It’s high but not dangerously high.

If you drop anadrol your level should drop. Keep in mind lifecycle of RBC. Is 120 days so it won’t be immediate.

What are you taking for liver support and lipid skewing?

 

[Dirtnasty]

Juat liek anything else if they are here they are g2g untill they aren’t. Unfortunately some of the best go to shit but when that happens they go bye bye.
