Q: Do you recommend using ONLY test for your first cycle (along with AI and PCT)? Or would adding a second compound like EQ be beneficial in your professional opinion?

A: Testosterone should be the base of any cycle and a moderate dose (500mg per week) will be a mild, yet effective, first cycle.  There are additional benefits to adding in a second compound such as EQ or Deca, but it's not necessary.  At this point you get the added benefit of using multiple compounds and we've noticed over the years of use that 1+1=5 when you stack the right compounds.  For some reason, anabolic steroid seem to exponentially (rather than additively) increase the potency of each other!

What do you think about the stigma of steroids within bodybuilding and do you think that it is something that will ever be openly discussed by the pro's?

DP: As long as it's illegal, most pros won't talk about it and I can't blame them......it puts a huge target on their heads. Look what happened to me. Still, to this day, people recommend that I don't discuss them. It's like the "untalked about" subject............. I feel that knowledge should be shared in a responsible manner.

I'm 12 weeks out from my contest. i am on your keto diet. i am doing cardio on my off days for 30min right now and keeping my heart rate at 125-130 and i keep getting dizzy and clammy at about 20 minutes in. what i end up doing is binging on something like natty PB and i feel better.....any help?

DP: You are probably working too hard on the cardio and your blood sugar is crashing. 130 is the upper limit, but it's not a goal. Get your HR down to about 100-110 and see if you feel better.

Dave, What do you think of 7-Keto DHEA, and would it help during and or after a cycle?
DP: It might have some mild fat loss benefits, but I don't think it's necessarily worth the money.....it certainly won't help restore testosterone production after a cycle. It has no muscle-building, testosterone-stimulating, effects.

on HMR you said sumo wrestlers eat 3x a day to slow metabolism.
i eat 3-4 solid meals and 4 shakes with EVOO, do the shakes help the metabolism at all.
DP: Shakes are still food and the oil is making them a well balanced meal. As far as I am concerned you are eating 7-8 meals per day.

When using ketones as fuel, some get excreted as urine, does that mean the more water we drink the more fat we pee out while in ketosis,
is it more essential than normal to keep urine clear while in ketosis, to protect the kidneys.

Is it true that after 48 hours of being mixed with bacteriostatic water, the hgh will become worthless? I'm asking this because I heard one of the hosts of OFF Topic radio state that on their show. Thanks.

DP: That is incorrect. GH will remain pretty stable for up to a week once mixed. Serostim GH kits (which are made for AIDS patients" say that in the insert because any bacteria that might grow in the solution can be deadly to their health since they have a compromised immune system. The people at SERONA use regular sterile water so that the AIDS patients must use a new bottle every time they take an injection. It's a great ploy to sell more GH.

Dave, i have another question regarding the female version of your diet, do females have to do pro/veg days alternating with pro/fat days from the very first week of the diet, someone asked me today if thats correct and iam not if it is, thanks dave..........
DP: Unless they have an exceptional amount of lean muscle, I start most females with P/V days.

A few years ago I was young and stupid. I ran a Test E only cycle, then I ran a Deca only cycle and I didn't run anti-e's or pct with either. Well, a few years later and some lower bf % I'm dealing with some gyno issues. I have a few questions...

1) If somebody has gyno surgery is it possible to get gyno again?

2) What do you suggest to take on cycle to avoid gyno problems?

3) Do you suggest some AAS over others for gyno prone people or just to use the
