Episode notes
Ramp Injectables Gradually For Longevity
- Run low drugs in the off-season and gradually ramp injectables into prep to avoid crashes and preserve recovery.
- Cap off-season doses (≈1g test, ~10 IU GH) and increase only as prep demands to stay lean and functional.
Prioritize Testosterone Over Masteron Fads
- Keep test as a foundation in prep if you respond poorly to lower doses; Sasan felt best at 800–900 mg test per week.
- Use modest doses of other compounds (most under 300–400 mg) and prioritize test for fullness without water.
Less Cardio + Less Stimulant = Longer Seasons
- Avoid excessive cardio and stimulants in prep to preserve sleep, energy, and recovery across many shows.
- Strategic off-season breaks and simple drug stacks let you compete repeatedly without burning out.
