Guys,
This is a random question related to EQ.
Has anyone ever heard of Equipoise causing bloating, and/or blood sugar increases?
A workout friend at my gym claims that he added EQ to his cycle, and he quickly became bloated, and his blood sugars rose. If this is true, is this a possible side effect from EQ?
It is suspicious to me, because I've never heard that about EQ, but I have very limited experience with it. I was curious about trying EQ again, but I'm leery if it truly does increase bloating or blood sugars.
Vets care to chime in?
My Thoughts:
--We know that EQ can convert to estrogen... but only at roughly half the rate of testosterone. It is known anecdotally known as a "dry" or lean bulking agent in most people. EQ would not have developed that reputation if it was prone to extreme bloating or fat gains in most users. However, if a user was especially sensitive to aromatization, or if the user used an extreme amount of EQ all at once... then I suppose it could be plausible that it would cause a very bloated look?
--I also have never heard anything about EQ's affect on blood sugar. While things like insulin and GH certain affects blood sugar, I have not really heard of any anabolics themselves negatively affecting blood sugar. I have never heard it would cause blood sugar to rise, but I suppose this is always a possibility. Has anyone heard of EQ affecting blood sugar, or causing fat gains?
--EQ is not usually faked, is it?
Any ideas what might be going on?
