So I've always been an hard gainer being tall and skinny so decided after alot of research and know all the risk to start using gear been on and off for about a year now on low dosage per week and usually 3 months on 3 months off my last cycle was TrenE200 & Test500 I've been off now since November and looking to start again in February so im a South African but starting to work in Auckland in January 2020

Steroids is also illegal in South Africa but its so common than most gym and even some pharmacy's sell it "under the table" my question is how hard or easy is it to find a supplier or get steroids in New Zealand?

I'm probably a intermediate lifter, use to gym all the time about 4 years ago then fell off. Wanting to get back into it seriously now as I miss my old body lol

5 days a week cardio and split training 23 male otahuhu currently at Miada Gym. msg me if keen wouldn't mind a new mate on the same journey as I 

Cheers all.

Right so goal is bf reduction.

I'm 35 trained on and off for 15 years, bf when I started was 35% (3 months ago). Goal is get to a guesstimate sub 20%

Im "over weight", 170cm weigh 95kg, started at 106kg.

What I've been doing so far is using mfp, making sure my protein is high around 150g a day, and making sure I'm in a deficit.

lift about 4 times a week, it depends on work and commitments. Try to prioritise sleep. Cardio I do some skipping, rope work, kettles, stationary bike and treadmill max incline for at least 10 mins end of session.

Lifting I go for big Compounds and some accessory, I have about 8 different programs I follow doing at least 7 exercises a day.

If I want to loose weight and body fat am I on the right track? Deficit is sitting at around 500cal def.

Work is reasonably sedentary, truck driver on rotational shift.

Any advice appreciated or if you think I'm on the right track and it's as simple as cals in cals out and lift heavy that's good.

Don't wanna be super man, just a big lighter and have a bit of muscle underneath once I'm done. Not interested in keto, don't believe it's required.

Any advice appreciated

Currently work out for roughly an hour as follows:

Monday: Chest

Tuesday: Arms

Wednesday: Back

Thursday: Shoulders and Abs

Friday: Legs

Eating currently is:

Breakie

3 poached eggs

1 grain toast

2 black coffees

Lunch

Subway with rye grain bread (sub of day with no cheese and low fat sauce)

Afternoon tea

1x scoop of nutratech whey gold protein

Tea 

200g of meat

1/2 cup of either pumpkin/potato/kumara etc

1/2 cup broccoli or similar

I’m new to New Zealand and use to have a good supplier of steroids from back home however, due to not finding a supplier in New Zealand I’m going to have to go back to training and building naturally. 

My question is, is it possible to maintain and continue to build on the physic I’ve built through using steroids, naturally. Does anyone have any experience as to what changes I might expect in my training and physic? 

been talking to a trainer online, who reckons I should do this upper lower strength training routine. To me it looks like there’s not enough of each muscle group to be beneficial. The way I’m ment to do it is. Monday- Upper Tuesday-Lower Weds-Off Thursday-Upper (again) Thursday-Lower 2 and on weekend I can do optional day. What’s your thoughts on this.

Upper

5x5 bench
3x8 close grip bench
3x8 overhead press
3x10 lat pulldowns
3x10 db rows
3x10 pullups (assisted, body weight, or weighted as needed)
3x10 incline curls

Lower 1
5x5 squat
3x8 stiff leg dead
3x10 front squat
3x10 leg curls
3x10 hip thrusts
3x10 seated calf raises

Lower 2
5x5 dead
3x8 front squat
3x10 stiff leg dead
3x10 leg extensions
3x10 hip thrusts
3x10 standing calf raises
Optional accessory day 1
3x10 lat raises
3x10 incline curls
3x10 face pulls
3x10 standing calf raises
3x10 seated calf raises

Optional day 2

3x10 lateral raises
3x10 cable tri pushdowns (wide grip)
3x10 cable tri pushdowns (close grip)
3x10 incline curls
3x10 hammer curls
3x10 face pulls
3x10 incline shrugs

Should I stick to high carb and focus more on caloric deficit and lifting heavy for cutting, then caloric surplus for bulking?

I'm based in Auckland looking to start I've just moved over from Melbourne 

Any help would be great I'm also open to other coaches I'm looking at doing the counties Manuka show perhaps 

Cheers 

Hate to think l would be the only one from Gymnation competing.

Be good to see a friendly face lol

If you're a member, what's it like?

What have you guys heard about it?

Cheers

Going to the gym was kinda intimidating because I'm skinny as shiz, it just felt different to be in there and the worst is this group of  5 buff guys that laugh at me when I work out. These guys spend like 40 minutes in a group making a lot of noise by laughing amongst each other, screaming at the top of their lungs when they lift and take pics at the gym! 

Anyway

Now, I stand at 5'9 and 55kg. I've been training with a PT at city fitness for 6 months, bought the supplements he suggested and stuck to the meal plan he put together.

6 months later, I've gained 2 kg :(

Brand new to this forum , have lurked a few times when doing some google searches.

This seems like the only place for New Zealanders to discuss steroids and i have a question about some gear i recently purchased.

I see the rules i cant name the source but would love to know if anyone has ran this lab and how they found it ... how i get to ask that i dont know lol.

I have changed sources recently for a cycle to a lab based in New Zealand, i can only find one post he has made and that was in 2014 on another website.

I had some bloods done the other day on test e 250mg PW my bloods came back at 650 ngdl , very low for the dosage i am running IMO.

The only question i think i can ask is, is it common for sources to have no presence on the web and still have there gear been sold ? 

I was using a reddit source for long time which had reviews etc but for this lab i cant find a thing and im worried if this is very old gear or possibly faked.

Have you guys had much trouble with under dosed gear in the past ?

Look forward to some discussion.

Currently habing 1500-2000 calories done. (fair estimate) - not tracking 100%

I am currently planning to start carb cycling for the first time to shake off some body fat. Stats 33 years old 178cm tall around 16.8% body fat (3 point pinch test method).

My question is based more around refeed days, Could I do 2 refeeds in a cycle i.e. 3 days low carb then a refeed two days low carb then a refeed and not do the moderate  carb day. I am not interested in rapid fat loss and feel that the strength in the gym is pretty important.

I would be keen to hear some thoughts from more experienced builders.

Anybody from Wanganui on this forum. 

Cheers
