Is there really a “safe” steroid cycle? Dave Crosland and Scott McNally compare old-school cycles—higher doses followed by time off—with today’s lower-dose, year-round approach. Which carries more risk, and are modern bodybuilding practices actually healthier?
Research and Peps Here : http://www.thinkbigbodybuilding.com
On this episode of Drugs n Stuff, we discuss testosterone-only cycles, Deca vs. Primobolan, Equipoise’s reputation as a “safer” compound, and the drawbacks of Primo. We also question whether combining testosterone with bioidentical hormones like HGH and insulin makes an approach safer.
Plus, listener questions on HMG, albuterol vs. clenbuterol, falling ferritin, NPP-related mood and energy changes, and planning after a big cut. Then Scott puts Dave through a British slang quiz—does he actually use these expressions?
