this video is a gun on the table it's like if you really want to die do this because you're not going to be smart
enough to pull it off warning you're watching Dr Todd Le TV where theoretically you could learn a
bunch of cool [ __ ] greetings earthlings toai Dr toddle ifbb Pro medical doctor and
biochemist and today I want to talk to you about The Infinity Gauntlet of steroids the advanced
cycle now the reason why I call it this is it's a lesson of hubis this is going to go over most people's heads but the
big point of that movie of th those two movies Infinity war and endgame is that Thanos already was the most powerful he
didn't need to get the Infinity Gauntlet by getting The Infinity Gauntlet he precipitated his demise The Infinity
Gauntlet caused his death likewise when a mere mortal like Tony Stark used The Gauntlet he
died so when everyone wants this to be more complicated than it is in my your first cycle video and in my increasing
your volum your load cycle I made it abundantly clear no normal person ever needs to have to use more than intestin
GH that whatever your goals are I just I don't want to be a bodybuilder I just want to look like one I just want to
look good at the beach I just want to have energy to play with my kids then you don't [ __ ] use anabolic steroids
for those things you use testosterone GH steroids are for professional athletes or bodybuilders you might be a
recreational bodybuilder or what I like to say someone who identifies as a bodybuilder in my opinion someone who
doesn't step on stage isn't a bodybuilder but most people they want my opinion as long as validates their
[ __ ] but they don't want my opinion as long as it's telling them something that they need to hear but don't want to
hear it so if if someone Masters level one they raise their testosterone until a
point where they hit a maximum amount of estrogen they can handle then they raise their GH until they hit a maximum point
of igf1 they can generate from the GH and the estrogen from the testosterone the testosterone is a vehicle for the
estrogen the estrogen plus the GH generates igf1 then if they're still not growing even though they've got perfect
sleep perfect training and perfect nutrition per the appropriate videos like autopsy bulking for nutrition the
Sleep hygiene video for sleeping and the hypertrophy guides for dummies and they've got perfect blood work for the
blood work for dummies video if you watch all those four videos and everything's good then you could advance
to using masteron because it's the cleanest safest anabolic steroid and that should fill in the Gap however
there are some Advanced applications of inferior steroids when used sparingly in low doses could potentially be better
than just more masteron here we go the big advantage of EQ is the cagen
synthesis the big advantage of the DECA is the anti-cortisol effect and the collagen
synthesis so because EQ isn't approved for human use everyone knows that Deca is good for joints so most people think
that you should throw in 200 Mill just some arbitrary [ __ ] number of 200 milligrams of
deca what about NPP Deca and NPP are the same [ __ ] drug they just have different half-lies and you should be
used the long acting drug every day there's never a reason to do any injection frequency other than every day
and there's no reason to ever use short acting drugs you use this the long- acting drug every
day so it be Deca every day along with everything else for some reason I say Mass [ __ ] tar here Mass prob [ __ ] prop
[ __ ] Mass prob Mast aate is the only Mast you could use test sip or test aate there's
only one right way the my my way and if you don't like it don't watch this channel the
DECA Deca Deca Deca [ __ ] NPP Deca if you were to use 5 to 10 milligrams a day you're going to get
some cortisol suppression if you get a combined total of deca and EQ of
about 30 milligrams a day you'll get a much greater amount of collagen synthesis that doesn't mean test doesn't
do it it doesn't mean that mass doesn't do it we know anabar does it it's just Deca and EQ do it the best the EQ is an
AI and will lower your estrogen so that means that it may not be the right drug for you Deca seems to upregulate the
sensitivity of estrogen receptor Alpha and Maston seems to downregulate the re the activity of
estrogen chapter Alpha so there's a very very hard way to balance out perfectly your test your Mast your
EQ and your Deco it takes a lot of trial and error you're going to lose hair you're probably going to get gyo but one
day you might figure out what the perfect balance is and that only applies to at that body weight with that body
fat percentage at that age so no one and I mean no one is going to be smart enough to juggle all four of
those drugs not even me but you want to know an advanced cycle and I'm giving you a cycle that's Advanced but it's
beyond the scope of the mind of the individual that no one is going to be smart enough to do this right but you
want to know how what the most advanced thing you can do is and no prob bodybuilders do this either it would be
running the lowd do test to get your estrogen where it needs to be and then you have to run your masteron to fill in
the gaps you're anabolic once you're anabolic but you want want to make sure you have anti-catabolic effects you
could use as little as 5 to 10 milligrams of deca and then if you want more of a collagen effect you could
increase the DECA and try to mitigate that with more masteron and you might get brain damage
from having too much dacka you could mitigate the brain damage by using EQ but you wouldn't get the antic cortisol
effect you would just get the collagen synthesis and you'd have kidney damage so the trick would be to use just the
right amount which is different for every [ __ ] I don't want anyone asking me what's a starting dose what do
you recommend there is no starting dose other than the lowest amount which is like 10 milligrams that's a starting
dose and then I don't recommend a [ __ ] thing in fact the whole point of this [ __ ] video If you're not paying
attention is don't [ __ ] do this don't do it but I'm accused of being too black and white and I don't believe in Free
Will and I'm I'm censoring and I'm G keeping telling you this is basically putting gun on the table in front of a
toddler but the toddler thinks they're a big boy and then they're going to blow their [ __ ] brains out so after you
[ __ ] up go to the comment section click the link and set up a console with me and I'll try to unfuck you which is
you're gonna be pissed because all I'm going to do is roll you back to HRT and then ramp you back up as if you were
watching your first cycle video and then you're pretty much going to just stay that way because you've tried it the ad
when you [ __ ] it up and that's basically what this video is this video is a gun on the table it's like if you
really want to die do this because you're not going to be smart enough to pull it off and people are going to
accept think it's a challenge like oh I'm gonna Pro show him I'm smart and it's like
no so if you balance the EQ with the with the um Deca to get up to a total of 30
milligrams a day and we can keep the DECA under the dangerous threshold of 10 a day
you're like wait a minute that's only 70 a week that's not dangerous well that's what the science says if you don't
believe in science that's cool I'm just telling you the reality of it you could get away with no brain damage with more
Deca you could get away with no kidney damage with EQ but to play it the safest 20 milligrams of
EQ 10 milligrams of deca is still just under the threshold for brain damage it's way over the threshold for
anti-cortisol effects to the DECA and then it contributes to the EQ to hit the max maximum collagen synthesis threshold
without being enough to really damage the kidneys now my theory is the way that it damages the kidneys is that it
dehydrates the person and that causes their blood pressure go up and high blood pressure and dehydration are the
two greatest causes of kidney damage then the kidney damage causes EO to be released and then EO is what drives up
the red blood cells so if you just did what I tell you to do in the hydration video how to grow I think it's 11
hydration which no one does but if you did that you probably wouldn't get any damage from the
EQ the amount that the EQ turns down the estrogen is probably going to be canceled out by the amount that the DECA
increases the sensitivity of the estrogen receptors and if for any reason if you
need to modulate your estrogen you could turn down your test or turn up your EQ but if you turn down your test your DHD
goes down if you turn your EQ up your DHT goes up so it needs to balance it EQ is an aromatase inhibitor the romaas
inhibitor prevents the testosterone converting to estrogen which means more of it has to convert to DHD because it
has to turn into something when you five Alpha reduce EQ it turns into dhb this is all covered in the molecular
structure video like I said if you're new to this channel there's no [ __ ] way you
should be watching this video this video is not for beginners these this under no circumstances should this be someone's
first video but I know I'm going to have to put up with a lot of [ __ ] for a long
time because I'm not making complex enough video so this is a theor theoretical exercise in Icarus getting
his wings burnt off by the Sun so now that you've mastered this we've got five different drugs you got GH test the only
two you need then masteron EQ and deca that makes five you've added in the DECA for anti-cortisol and the DECA and the
EQ for collagen synthesis you still get anti-cortisol from test you still get collagen synthesis with test so this is
completely [ __ ] but this is how people think and I want you to be aware that yes test does do those things but
if you're keeping your test under a threshold of DHD and estrogen that's healthy you may not have enough test to
get those jobs done and even if you were running what about test only if you're running test only you would still have
to run an AI with it and a 5 Alpha reductase inhibitor with it so why greetings Earth wings like subscribe and
share this video share with a friend share with enemies share with people who think they know everything spreaded like
herpes speaking of herpes I am a medical doctor and I could be your doctor click the link in the description box I can
order you blood work I can read the blood work I can treat any illnesses I basically it's like an HR RT Clinic
that's a oneman army also I do coaching Dr Karina doson and I have a coaching business called Apex coaching so if you
sign up with me you get coaching which is nutrition programming competition prep or lifestyle coaching as well as
all the medical stuff so you have two doctors in one business it's going to be contest prep the nutritionist the
programming person and the doctor all inone you can't beat it it's integrated it works the best that way you'll love
it make sure to do it click the link in the description box you use drugs that only do something that's when you could
use the anabolic steroid that does muscle growth and the thing you're looking for so you got five drugs now
you got four anabolics nobody juggles more than two in the real world but you want to handle four luckily that the
third and the fourth when are in very low doses it's like 20 milligrams a day of EQ 10 milligrams a day of
deca this six one the Soul Stone is when you add an anavar pre-training so
lingual now I just had a protot type made of a DMSO
preparation I like liquid because you can measure the exact dose you don't have to take the amount that you're
given you can just squirt it under your tongue and absorbs tastes like [ __ ] but it absorbs that's what matters anavar is
the six one because sublingual anavar kicks in really fast and
will theoretically go into the muscle and not go to non- genomic locations it doesn't go to the hair it
doesn't go to the skin it doesn't go to the liver if you do it sublingually you bypass the first pass metabolism in the
liver it goes to the muscle and then it doesn't go to the other areas in the body most people if they do it this way
will get a little bit more aggressive and A Little Bit Stronger it's a good pre-workout I like it and that would be
the the the sixth Infinity Stones of anabolic steroids GH
test both up until the point where you get the maximum igf-1 conversion you drive the test up until the estrogen is
capped out before you get symptoms at DHT symptoms or estrogen symptoms you roll it back to the level so if at 60
milligrams is too much you roll it back to 50 the GH you run as much GH until you stop getting IG till you stop
getting an increase in igf1 or you start having the side effects of like hand swelling It's usually the first side
effect you get then you start using masteron to mitigate to drive you up to the anabolic load you're looking for
once you found an effective dose of of Master on to where you're growing muscle now you're going to add in tiny baby
doses of the next three drugs 20 milligrams of anavar pre-training 20 Mig of EQ and about 10
Mig of Deco now some some people might be like you know what I'm more prone to kidneys and I'm not as prone to gyno I'm
not I don't care about my brain I care about my kidneys you could go 10 milligrams of EQ 20 milligrams you could
go 15 and 15 the point is is that the EQ and the DECA combined add up to about 30 and you want to have both because the
DECA alone if you did 30 milligrams of deca alone maybe you can tolerate that but that's probably going to be a lot of
brain damage um I saw great results with and you like thinking like why did you change your tone you're
you're so inconsistent no [ __ ] I tried this out I tried this out for months and I didn't tell any of you
people about it because I know how whiny you are you're like why don't you tell us the results of your experiment It's
like because experiment not over [ __ ] face I can't give you the results until it's over the results are in the
experiment is over I found that the EQ caused increas in caten C and increases in um hematocrite
even in as little as 60 milligrams a day and it murdered my E2 caught it down to 30 at 30 I didn't have the cat and c
and I didn't have the um hematocrit elevation but it still murdered my E2 I took it away and I replaced it with
a little bit of deca the DECA was there the whole time honestly but I went from 20 milligrams a
day to 30 Mill M A Day everything was fine went from 30 milligram a day to 40 milligram a day started getting a little
bit of tenderness on one nipple so that's it as I know for sure I can handle about I can handle like 30
milligrams a day of EQ and 20 milligrams a Deca but before you think that's you I want you to understand
something in order for me to hit my target estrogen I have to use 100 to 120 a day
I've never seen anybody require that much testosterone to get estrogen conversion in order for me to see, 1500
testosterone on blood work I need to use 70 or 80 milligrams a day most of you guys watching this if you do what I tell
you to do and do 20 milligrams every day with an insulin needle intramuscular with the two units of GH most of these
people are getting 1500 milligrams of test and 15 M 1500 nanograms per Des ler 1500 test in the blood off of as little
as 20 milligrams a day so 20 in you 80 in me I have to use four times as much to get the same results you do most
likely because I'm carrying more muscle so because I carry more muscle there's less in the blood because there's more
in the tissue so my body can process it the point is is that my doses are not your doses for me to hit the dose I need
of testosterone it's about 100 to 120 from I can handle 30 milligrams of EQ but then that brings my e my estrogen
all the way down to sub20 I feel great I don't have dry joints my joints are not dry I feel fine I don't understand why
all these people have a problem unless it's just dehydration which is what my big theory is is that no one is doing
their hydration correctly and 100% of people who do what I tell them to do with the
hydration they are like holy [ __ ] it changed my life that the biggest thing you can do to change your life is switch
from intermittent to daily injections the second biggest thing you could do to change your life is drink [ __ ] water
and you put salt in it so that it's you're when you finish drinking it you're thirstier than when you started I
usually put about 2 grams of salt in one of these that's 800 migam that right there accounts for 4,000 milligram of
sodium day that's to double the daily allowance in just my [ __ ] water not counting that I'm putting 1,000
milligrams on every meal so I'm getting like 9,000 milligrams of sodium a day whereas the daily recommended amount is
2,000 it's because those doctors are [ __ ] dumb but they're not treating bodybuilders and again if you aren't a
bodybuilder you shouldn't be watching this because you shouldn't be using anabolic steroids everything is based on
the other things you can't just take something I say and plug it into your shitty model of reality and have it work
so taking any of my pieces of advice and taking it out of context and plugging into whatever your coach gave you could
do some serious damage that's why I don't recommend anything I have a very clear model of exactly what to do step
by step by step from the minute you wake up to the minute you go to bed and if you do anything differently it's not my
fault you [ __ ] up you didn't do it all and in this case we're using Maston as a primary anabolic
the testosterone is being used as a substrate for estrogen the EQ is being used as collagen synthesis and the dec
is being used as an anti-cortisol but but there's a lot of overlap in all of those that all of them do everything all
of them are anti-cortisol all of them are procollagen so in the end this is just an academic exercise and futility
if you can't grow off of 1500 test and 300 igf1 you're probably already at your maximum limit on human potential for
your genes because you have the appropriate upper limit by far on testosterone and
igf1 that maybe 1% of the population or less has both of those values so high you are at the optimal human level in
both categories if you can't grow then and you've got your food and
sleeping and training all dialed in then that's when you would feel theoretically add in gear to go to the
next level and in that case I still don't think you need to juggle for additional drugs at that point I think
the next reasonable thing is use Maston live off Maston and use enough Maston so 20 milligrams a day a test
then 30 milligrams a day a test then 40 milligrams a day a test then 50 milligrams at some point it's too much
roll back to the safe dose then you start ramping up the masteron assuming you've already maxed out your G8 with GH
You' go two units then wait a couple weeks then two more units wait a couple weeks use two more units some people say
a half a unit like every two weeks add a half a unit I I think that would be tedious I would just maybe use one unit
but the way I measure out my GH when I reconstitute it is that 10 on the insulin syringe is two units but the
point is is that you would tit trate up slow find the upper limit doing blood work every month so that you know
exactly what you're doing so you eventually hit okay at eight units I get the maximum igf1 if I go to 10 units I
get no more igf-1 there's no reason to run more than eight units same thing with test is at 60 test a day I have
burning nipples at 50 test a day I did not roll back to 50 that's it and then you start adding
in masteron to keep progressing assuming you can't grow once you've found that upper limit like let's say it's 40 tests
a day it's 60 Master on a day you're growing like a weed there's no reason to add any more gear but you want to cover
your ass then the next time you start plateauing out rather than adding in
more Master on you start you add in 10 milligrams or 20 milligrams of deca or 20 milligrams of EQ and then the next
time you add in the other one that's it so in the end it might look like eight units of GH 40 test 60
masteron 10 Deca 10 EQ and 20 anavar
prelift sublingually someone else might be 50 test 100 Mast might be 15 EQ 15 Deca and
20 anavar me personally I got approx it because it's kind of hard cuz if you
didn't ever have to make adjustments the [ __ ] would be different so if I was to just come up with an ideal cycle for
myself based off of my recent data I would say it'd be eight units of GH 100 test probably 140 masteron 10
EQ and 20 Deca with 20 sublingual Anar that's it it's not a lot not for a
professional bodybuilder it really isn't so this is just and this is a super Advanced Thanos level Infinity
Gauntlet cycle is it dangerous no I'm using the safest compounds I can in the safest way but it's very difficult to
balance because test is a substrate for E2 but EQ is an arotas inhibitor so it slows the conversion of the test into
the E2 and then the Maston desensitizes the estrogen receptor Alpha whereas the DECA up regulates the estrogen receptor
Alpha so there's a way of balancing all this [ __ ] out and it takes a lot of practice and fine-tuning and most people
just straight up are not smart enough or observant enough or mentally stable enough to fine-tune four variables at
the same time that contradict each other because it's not linear it's exponential if you turn down one knob and turn up
the other knob you're not going to get a two 3% increase you're going to get like a 400% increase it's super Advanced so
what you got to do is turn down one weight a month to blood work then turn up the other one and it's just
fine-tuning those knobs will take forever and most people are just not that smart so there is the advanced
would be test and GH intermediate would be test GH masteron not for anyone who's not a bodybuilder and then the super
Advanced [ __ ] would be you would have to add in Deca and EQ pretty much at the same time and balance balance them just
right and most people don't have the patience or the attention span or the perception nor do they want to run blood
work that much and it's useless if you're not running the blood work because you have to literally dial in
your EQ and your Deca to get the exact right amount of E2 and the symptoms but in theory you would have better more
durable joints and rather than just building muscle through anabolic pathway you're not losing muscle through the
catabolic pathway and since the threshold for those effects are so low you never have to run
more than a total of 200 a week I'm only seeing it this way because there's some people that are just too dumb to ma do
math that I say 30 a day of EQ and deca but 3 30 time 7 is 210 so everyone who's doing that 200
milligrams a week a Deca if you just even cut that in half and did 200 did 140 Deca and 70 EQ or 140 EQ and 70 Deca
you're going to get pretty much better or the same results and all depends on how you respond to estrogen so I've said
it over and over and over again until next time May the force be with you I'd like to thank our sponsor Fusion
regenerative therapies where I am the Director of Human Performance this is the practice in which I practice
medicine uh we will be able to order you blood work and read your blood work and help you with therapy as needed based
