What is equipoise? Intro to eq in depth…ish for newbies



Equipoise/ Boldenone undecylenate

otherwise known as “eq” is an anabolic steroid testosterone derivative. Usually used as a “second steroid” to bodybuilders cycles.



How does it work?

Known for its lean, and drier look. Equipoise

Chemical structure is quite similar to that of testosterone, however one key difference is how it aromatizes into estrogen compared to that of testosterone. Eq has a much higher affinity to the aromatase enzyme that turns testosterone to estrogen. Acting as a substrate to the enzyme over testosterone, aromatizes half the speed and half the amount of actual estrogen than testosterone. Due to this it is referred to as an “anabolic ai” so an ai won’t be needed if ran, significantly reducing e2 hence giving that dry lean muscle look. it is commonly stacked with testosterone due to its muscle building effects and more anabolic effects rather than androgenic. Eq will increase red blood cell count contributing to that veiny vascular look often referred to from the better oxygen delivery.



What are the side effects?

Eq due to occupying the aromatase enzyme much longer and only expending half the amount of estrogen conversion than that of testosterone can have negative effects on e2 levels. With a half life of 14 days and saturation of eq taking around 8 weeks. Once it is in one’s system it is hard to tell how the body truly feels and reacts to the steroid, especially if negatively it takes even longer to exit one’s system. Due to being an anabolic steroid it will suppress natural testosterone as well, if choosing to come off to begin a pct. It could take up to around 40-50 days before able to begin without eq interfering the pct through the hpta. Typically recommended to have a 2.5-2:1 ratio of testosterone to eq to not experience extreme low e2 side effects





Real quick pros and cons!



Pros.

  1. Increase muscle building and recovery
  2. Won’t cause balding
  3. Decrease estrogen
  4. Better blood cell count
  5. Veiny dry look


Cons.

  1. Decrease natural testosterone
  2. Hard to come off due to long half life
  3. Common to experience negative low e2 effects if not careful
  4. Blood clotting (red blood cell count) + more
  5. Hpta/hpg axis suppression




This was a quick fun thread lmk what u guys think



Peace my bhais 👌

would use this compound if the half life was shorter, decent guide+ need to be more specific with language many people dont know the in and outs of this compound

Agreed, and how long it takes for the effects is kick in as well. For those that respond well I’m jealous,

I think I’ll start doing that from now on, I didn’t want this to be too long but I’ll definitely be adding definitions for some terminology

Known for its lean, and drier look. Equipoise
People usually gain weight on this compound since it known to drive up apitite, there are 0 metabolites it contains for making someone look "dry" other than the fact it can crush E2 n you feel like shit "But at least im dry braaah", and Increase in HCT/ RBC will make viens pop more ig but increasing Test wihile using RAAS manipulators while garnish the same results while having a lower HCT.
  1. ncrease muscle building and recovery
  2. Won’t cause balding
Test already does all of this, so cant really list it as a Pro
Decrease estrogen
This is hardly even a Pro since the way it decrease estrogen isnt even linear and is very unpredictable

Here are jus some examples of people reporting running EQ, Person A is Crashing on a 3:1Ratio, while Person B feels good on a 5:4 Ratio

This is the exact problem no one fucking knows until they crash n have to get bloods done or get extremely lucky right away, all to be weaker than Test mg for mg

Im not going to eat you up since I dont think your telling people its one of the best roids, but its should be known that its a super shitty roid with nothing unique to it.
Common to experience negative low e2 effects if not carefu
There is 0 way to even be careful at all to being with, Jus guess wait 60 days n check or LDAR :banderas:
I'm sure you'll love this thread Nardicus102 Nardicus102
Hes not saying its a good roid at least so I wont eat him up on it:cheers:

Ty for the response bhai, I came to similar/same conclusion when researching this compound tbh 😭 too experimental and not worth how long it takes to see if it works. Just made this intro to help educate others while also educating myself + retain more of the information
