EQUITEST
PROFILE
EquiTest 500 is a steroid blend that consists of 250mg of Equipoise (Boldenone Undecylenate) and 250mg of Testosterone Enanthate. This blend is wonderful in terms of its versatility, as it can be successfully used during both cutting and bulking periods, by beginners or by advanced users and as a base of a cycle.
BENEFITS
EquiTest is basically an already mixed stack. But it’s not just a stack, it is a perfect basis of the cycle, which will release you from the need to inject every compound separately or mix them every time. Apart from this, you will also find the blend to be good at many other areas, like recovery. Let’s take a look at its main benefits:
- Lean mass gain – With this compound, you won’t get sheer mass, but it will provide you with slow and steady muscle gain. In most cases, EquiTest is used as an addition for a bulking cycle, not as a primary off-season compound. But in the end, the result will largely depend on your diet and workout plan. However, the compound is mostly used for cutting purposes, since it is one of the best steroids at preserving existing muscles, which is crucial during a dieting phase.
- Strength and endurance – This blend will moderately enhance your strength and performance and therefore reduce the recovery times. These traits are beneficial for any bodybuilder or athlete out there and will help you in every cycle.
- Possible increase in appetite – This can be very useful during your off-season cycle, but is a downside for a dieting phase. Anyways, this effect is individual; some report a major increase in appetite, while others do not notice any changes.
Once again, EquiTest is highly versatile, so the final result will depend on what you eat and how you train. And do not expect that the results will happen overnight because this compound is all about clean and even gains.
HOW TO TAKE
A minimal dosage of EquiTest is 500mg per week. However, most men will find the dosage of 1000mg a week more beneficial, and at the same time, easy to keep the side effects at bay. 1500mg a week is a dosage for experienced users, as it may increase the risk of side effects.
A weekly dosage can be injected once a week, but if you go for 1000mg a week or higher, it’s advised to split the dosage into 2-3 injections. A total cycle length is about 8-12 weeks, with the latter considered to be most effective.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
Most men will find the mixture to be very well-tolerated. The negative effects of its use will depend on the dosage, but all in all, they are easily manageable with recommended doses. That is why a beginner can safely use EquiTest. The possible side effects include:
- Estrogenic – Estrogenic side effects include water retention, gynecomastia, and high blood pressure caused by severe water retention. The risk of these side effects depends on the dosage. With lower doses, you probably won’t need to use aromatase inhibitors (AI’s), and make do with SERM’s (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators) like Nolvadex, which are less effective but not that harsh on your cholesterol levels. AI’s like Arimidex will be needed if you are sensitive to estrogenic sides or if the dosage is high.
- Androgenic – Symptoms like balding, acne, oily skin or body hair growth may become an issue in predisposed individuals. Most men will not notice such effects or experience them in the mild form. Anyways, you can’t be completely sure about your body’s reactions, so use it at your own risk, and remember that these are just visual sides that don’t do any harm to your health.
- Cardiovascular – EquiTest suppresses HDL (good cholesterol) levels but, again, not to a degree that most other steroids do. If you are healthy enough to take the steroids and don’t have any cardiovascular conditions, then a healthy lifestyle, a cholesterol friendly diet, and cardiovascular activity should help reduce cardiovascular strain.
What we need to add to this list is testosterone suppression, which is a common thing for steroid users, and this blend is no exception. PCT is required to bring your testosterone function back to normal and retain your gains.
CYCLES
For a beginner, it’s recommended to run EquiTest alone as it has all the necessary compounds in it. The dosage should not exceed 1000mg a week with a cycle length from 8 to 12 weeks. You can also split the dosage into 2 injections a week.
If you want to enhance the results, you can add other steroids to the mixture. As an example:
- Novice cycle EquiTest — Winstrol — Testosterone Propionate Weeks 1-8: 1000mg EquiTest a week Weeks 7-12: 50mg Winstrol each other day Weeks 9-12: 100mg Test Prop each other day You can split a weekly dosage of EquiTest into 2 or 3. This cycle is great for lean mass gain and cutting, depending on your diet. Here, a PCT should begin on the 3rd day of the end of the cycle.
For intermediate or advanced cycles, you can actually add any steroids, depending on your goal. The most common additions are Winstrol, Tren Ace, Dianabol, and Anavar. But there’s space to experiment as this compound is versatile and will be a good base or addition for any cycle.
PCT
Post cycle therapy is obligatory with this blend, but it doesn’t have to be an aggressive one. You simply follow a 4-5 weeks plan with the use of Clomid or Nolvadex. Start a PCT 14-18 days after your last injection.
If you add other steroids to the cycle, you will need to add hCG into your plan. You will start 10 days after the end of the cycle, and run it for 10 straight days. The very next you’ll begin Clomid or Nolva.
REVIEWS
EquiTest is a perfect combination of two steroids that complement each other very well. Suitable for beginners, it can also be used by more experienced users as an additional compound.
It can be used for any purpose, as a basis or an addition to the existing cycle. During the cutting phase, it will serve as muscle protection, and help with recovery. In a bulking cycle, you’ll find EquiTest to be a useful secondary compound that will enhance the results and recovery times.
