What is Equipoise

Equipoise 300mg/mL by Apoxar (also known as EQ, or Boldenone), is a long-acting injectable anabolic steroid. Mildly anabolic, moderately androgenic, and as close to testosterone in structure as it gets.

EQ is closer to the high end of the spectrum in terms of costs (you need a lot of it for bodybuilding purposes, small doses won’t do), and it requires longer cycles to fully shine. However, you get dry (high-quality, visibly dense and hard) gains with minimized risks of gyno in return.

EQ Steroids benefits

EQ is a versatile steroid with a whole list of benefits:

• Slow but dry (no bloating) muscle mass gains;
• Strength boost;
• Extra endurance;
• Significantly faster recovery.

EQ is a lot about the visual changes. Most bodybuilders love it not for the strength improvement itself but for the way your body transforms by the end of the cycle:

1. Improved vascularity (more visible veins);
2. Shredded look (if you have low body fat);
3. No bloating (water retention doesn’t cover small muscle groups).

Also, with EQ, you can expect longer result retention (aka you stay jacked and don’t lose your progress when you stop the cycle).

Equipoise side effects

The tradeoffs for the quality of gains are minimal. With high personal sensitivity, pre-existing conditions, or at higher doses, EQ side effects may include:

• Higher BP (increased rbc count leads to higher blood pressure);
• Anxiety (and other mental side effects, from irritability to aggression);
• Libido issues (both ways, from a crazy increase to suppression, depending on your personal response).

Equipoise has a mixed standing in the community: while some athletes love it, others — more prone to side effects — consider it an overpriced alternative to higher doses of testosterone or even oral Dianabol.

Equipoise dosage on a cycle

EQ dosage depends on your fitness goals. As noted by many professionals, EQ is a “low risk” compound when it comes to dosing, the worst you can get is just wasting it, and injecting an accidentally higher-than-you’d-want dose is nearly impossible. Here is a breakdown of the Equipoise dose range:

1. EQ under 100 mg EW — a dosage that makes little to no sense (too small to provide effects)
2. EQ under 200-300 mg EW — too small to be functional but can lower E2 and support other compounds in the cycle;
3. EQ around 300 mg EW — a lower end of the scale (expect primarily endurance and recovery effects, not gains);
4. EQ 400-800 mg EW — the range where all the high-quality gains are made by beginners and mid-lvl athletes.
5. EQ 800-1200 mg EW — the dose several famous IFBB Pros admitted to take, excessive for amateur bodybuilders but strong enough for anyone who can tolerate the sides.

How to take EQ

Technically, the only correct way to take Equipoise is via intramuscular injections. It’s an injectable steroid with a relatively long (14-16 days) half-life. So, weekly or E3D injections (with a weekly dose split in half) is the way to go.

Injection sites for Equipoise are: glutes, deltoids, and quads.

Best stacks with Equipoise

Cycle-wise, it’s best to take EQ with or without Testosterone: depending on a personal response. Libido and mental health issues can be fixed with a mild testosterone base if you get them. However, it’s common for athletes to run EQ with other gear as a measure of E2 control.

Effective stacks with Equipoise:

• Testosterone (classic stack with varied ratios);
• Primobolan (extra muscle hardness and no extra estrogen issues);
• NPP or Deca Durabolin;
• Short cycles of mild orals (Anavar, Turinabol).

Bad stacks with Equipoise:

• Trenbolone (both raise blood pressure significantly);
• High-dose of powerful oral steroids (Anadrol and Dianabol, especially in prolonged cycles);
• Primobolan and Masteron (crash E2);
• Anadrol (too stressful for the liver and hormonal balance).

Equipoise cycles

To get the most out of Equipoise’s potential benefits, it’s best to stack it with Testosterone at a mild dose and a light-weight, low on side effects, safe kind of oral steroid. Here is an example of the cycle with EQ. Also, to counter suppression and keep testicular function afloat, we’ll add hCG (Chorionic Gonadotropin) to the mix.

• Duration: 22 weeks
• Goals: Visual changes (dry, hard muscles, lean look) and strength boost
• Protocol:

NOTE: Individual tolerance to Equipoise effects may vary. Adjust on the go and start low & slow if you’re new to anabolic steroids.
