Boldaxyl 300

I'm reading up on EQ at the mo, looking to find out more about it n that.
One of the side effects i've seen is the increase in red blood cells (greater than testosterone), does anyone know if this actually causes any health problems? Appetite increase seems to be another pronounced side effect, but i also gather that EQ aromatises rarely (or a low rate).
I'm sat here thinking, is that it?! I don't know why but i got a picture in my head of EQ being a very heavy steroid, something in the name praps - i dunno..
So what's with the red cell effect, is it that problematic?
Is there anything else to watch out for with EQ?

IC, Definitley keep a close eye on your blood pressure,it may rise a bit. If I use as little as 400mgs/wk I get high blood pressure.
Others have experienced a kind of anxiety when on but personally I never have.
Keep in mind it's a strength producing drug so even though you may feel strong as hell, try to make sure your tendons and ligamints are up for the heavy weight.
One last thing...It usually takes a while to kick in and for you to really feel it, so try and run it for `12-14 weeks.
Good Luck Man

it can increase your BP a bit but keep an eye on things. you may experience some headaches or sweats but it never bothered me much. but yes it does increase your red blood cells alot.

400mg EW bumped by RBC quite high. Keep an eye on your blood brother

High RBC count, high BP and for some (like me) tons of anxiety. Not everyone gets anxiety from EQ but for those that are pre-disposed to anxiety, you've been warned..lol.

i have no experience with equipoise but i did do some research when searching for my next cycle ...and i found that oil deposits can build up under the skin more often than other aas. and that rotating injection sites is very very important..

I Love Eq!!!!!!!!!!

Until about 8 or so years ago, EQ was only made for animals and you could only find it in a dose of 25-50mg per ml. So you had to inject huge amounts of it several times a week. 25mg/ml would mean that you'd have to inject 16ml a week to get 400mg of EQ. I don't know why sites still talk about it like it's still sold in the old doses.

As far as my experience with EQ, the only real negative was towards the end of the cycle when it starting sending my blood pressure through the roof. I seem to get oily skin and have hair loss issues with any steroid, but EQ did the complete opposite to me. My skin was great and I had no problems with my hair. However, I bloated up like a dead fish when I was using it. I always thought that EQ was best for cutting, and even though I was eating clean I still looked like I was on a cycle of Deca, Drol, and Double Whoppers. I was only using Tbol and 200mg of Test Cyp per week along with the EQ. The bloat went away about a month after finishing the cycle.

LMAO at double whoppers!
So deca is a better choice for muscle mass, over EQ. Tho EQ gives greater strength and vasc.
Amazing what you can discover when reading up.. for a change..

I Love Eq!!!!!!!!!!

I love EQ as well. I have been using it for years. Anywhere from 600mg's to 1 gram a week. EQ should be used in long cycles and with test. You should take it atleast at a 12 week minimum cycle. It does take a few weeks for you to start really feeling the positive affects. As far as oily skin and acne and water retention, this is simply not the case with Eq.It does cause anxiety in some, but thank God, not for me. It also makes me very hard and vascular. Eq acts to slow aromatization (conversion into estrogen). The best estimate is that it does so at roughly half the rate of testosterone (1). This is the best number I´ve found in studies. Athletes almost never report estrogenic side effects with Equipoise, even when the dose is up to a gram per week. Side effects caused by estrogen include oily skin, acne, and gynocomastia, and as I said, those are usually not found from Equipoise. Dan Duchaine, the Guru, who many of us old timers know,has written many articles on Eq and Eq vs. Deca.

Equipoise was actually created while attempting to make a product which would be be a long acting injectable D-bol (Methandrostenolone). What was actually created was a product which, in the real world acts nothing like D-bol, despite it´s similarity to it chemically. A simple way to think of Equipoise, chemically at least, is simply as Dianabol without the 17-alpha-methyl group (that´s the thing which makes D-bol able to be ingested orally and not be destroyed by your liver). However, having had first hand experience with both Equipoise as well as D-bol, I can tell you that the results from each are vastly different.

To make Equipoise, a double bond was added between carbon atoms 1 and 2 of the Steran Nucleus of Testosterone. What does this mean? Well, first of all, since Equipoise was created by one simple modification in the testosterone molecule, you could rightly suspect that it shares many similarities with it. Equipoise is just as anabolic as testosterone (as you can tell by its anabolic rating above), but only half as androgenic. Those ratings can be quite deceiving though, as I don´t know anyone who would claim that you can gain as much weight on Equipoise as you can gain on an equal amount of testosterone (even though strength gains from the two compounds are very similar).

It´s not very common to compare Equipoise to testosterone; however a far more common comparison is between Equipoise and Deca. I suspect this is because when Dan Duchaine introduced this compound to the steroid using community, he made an immediate comparison to Deca, speculating that it would act similarly to Deca but like a much stronger version of it. Equipoise doesn´t actually act much like deca at all; Deca is actually a progestin and a 19-nor derived steroid whereas Equipoise is more closely related to testosterone (being only one double bond differ rent). Duchaine later rescinded his original statement on Equipoise and said that it was disappointing as a mass builder when compared with deca, but a far better drug than for both strength gains and vascularity. Unfortunately, the myth that Equipoise´s action is similar to Deca´s has persisted for nearly 2 decades after he revised his opinion; this is most evident on internet message boards today, where many will advise against including both of them in a cycle because "they act the same way."
The 1-2 double bond that Equipoise has is responsible for many of its characteristics. First of all, it acts to slow aromatization (conversion into estrogen). The best estimate is that it does so at roughly half the rate of testosterone (1). This is the best number I´ve found in studies. Athletes almost never report estrogenic side effects with Equipoise, even when the dose is up to a gram per week. Side effects caused by estrogen include oily skin, acne, and gynocomastia, and as I said, those are usually not found from Equipoise. Virilization (development of male sexual characteristics in women) is almost never seen with this compound, when reasonable doses are used by female athletes. This is one of the few injectable compounds which could be successfully be used by female athletes and bodybuilders, and isn´t often faked.
Clinical Equipoise and Athletes
That double bond is also responsible for Equipoise´s resistance for being changed by the 5- 5-Alpha-reductase enzyme (2)(3). This enzyme converts a small amount of Boldenone into Dihydroboldenone, which is a very potent androgen (7x as anabolic as testosterone)(4). As I said though, such a small amount of it is converted that it´s really of no concern to most athletes taking Equipoise. This factor, plus its low aromatization rate mean athletes don´t need to consider using ancillaries with Equipoise.

Athletes taking Equipoise often report a slow and constant buildup of quality muscle, and certainly this has been my experience with the drug. I would speculate that this slow buildup of muscle is due to the very long ester attached to the Boldenone; Undeclynate is a longer ester than the decanoate ester by one carbon. Thus, we could expect the accumulation of muscle from Equipoise to actually occur at a slightly slower rate than that found with Deca (nandrolone decanoate). This leads me to advise that if you are considering the use of Equipoise, you should consider using it for no less than 12 weeks. Equipoise, like deca, is also detectable in your system for a long time (although it is substantially less than deca´s detection time).

Strangely, shorter estered versions of Boldenone are available as well. Anecdotally, many people (and manufacturers) claim that this produces less water retention...but water retention from Equipoise is virtually unheard of, so I consider this to be a silly idea.

An informal poll I took on Steroid.com (as well as with my friends) seems to put the ideal dose of Equipoise at 600mgs/week. Most people I asked about their Equipoise experience with Equipoise seemed to think that using over 600mgs/week produced no additional results, but the jump from 400mgs/week to 600mgs/week produced noticeable additional gains, and thus was warranted. I have personally found very nice results from 400mgs-600mgs/week myself.

Equipoise Side Effects
One of the most pronounced effects in Equipoise is its ability to raise your RBC´s (red blood cells). This is very typical of anabolic steroids; however, Equipoise would appear to do it to a slightly greater degree than most. One of the other effects most Equipoise users report is an increased appetite. I can say that this is true of me, also; this factor makes it impossible for me to diet on it. It´s because of this ability to increase appetite that many will include Equipoise in a mass cycle, and it´s for the quality of muscle gained on it that many will include it in a cutting cycle. It´s probably the most versatile injectable compound, next to testosterone. People even use a low dosed version of Equipoise to blend with irritating injectable drugs suck as testosterone suspension or Propionate. I´m thinking of the old Ganabol version which was dosed at 50mgs/ml, here... it´s not that Equipoise is especially good to cut other steroids with, but the low dose and cost of Ganabol made it ideal to do this with, when sterile oil wasn´t available or desirable. This low dosed version was also very popular with women, who were comfortable shooting 1cc of this stuff every few days or every week.

Equipoise will cause a suppression of your hormones, such as endogenous testosterone, so I would also recommend using injectable testosterone in any cycle containing it. Failure to do so could result in possible sexual dysfunction and other sides.

I´d have to say that due to its incredible versatility, availability, and low price, Equipoise is going to be a staple in many cycles for a long time.

i personally dont get alot out of eq...i have run up 850mgs Ew and all i really got was a nice headache from my bloodpressure going through the roof...for me deca is best for strength and mass...actaullly my fav for strength and mass was nan phenly (fast acting deca) drol or Dbol and a prop, test susp combo got so damn strong so fast couldnt help but keep going heavier and ended up getting hurt...did the same combo again but with my brains actually being used and got the same results, strong and big and no injuries that go...

EQ is known for strength and vascularity, not mass. I would agree that deca does give you more increased mass, and that is mainly do to the water retention, unlike Eq, which is unheard of that it retains water. When I am on 3 grams of gear a week, my blood pressure gets high no matter what. I love Deca myself, for strength and mass and it does make you hard, but would never use it during my cutting cycle, unlike EQ because it is great for vascularity, due to no water retention. As I stated in one of my previous posts, we are all made up genetically different, and react differently to different compounds, and what works great for some, may not work as well for others. My studies come from myself as the test subject of many years, and reading and listening to other BB'ers from other boards and the gym, and fellow BB'ers in competition, and the much written reports on any compound that can easily be researched on the internet today. I started getting into BB'ing at a later age, in 1984, while most guys are starting today at 16 years of age.
