Type-IIx: Gear, Growth, and Gains

Ep. 008: AI Comparison between Aromasin vs. Arimidex; Masteron (Mast) vs. Primobolan (Primo); Coach's Corner: Feeling and Using the Back in Exercises

Title
Type-IIx's Gear, Growth, and Gains: Ep. 008: AI Comparison between Aromasin (Asin) vs. Arimidex (Adex); Masteron (Mast) vs. Primobolan (Primo); Coach's Corner: Cues and Modifications to Emphasize Different Back Muscles
Runtime
23 min
Synopsis
Type-IIx discusses the clear winner (Aromasin) between the AIs Aromasin and Arimidex, including a concise explanation of what suicide inhibition means, and why Aromasin is best. Then, in the next section, Masteron (Mast) is compared to Primobolan (Primo; Rimobolan; Rimos), and it too is the clear winner here. Tangentially, the AI atamestane is discussed, albeit merely to point out its total irrelevance to the topic since it is not any sort of metabolite of either drug despite claims to the contrary! Finally, cues and modifications for back exercises like rows, pulldowns, pull-ups, shrugs, et cetera are discussed. A YouTube video will follow demonstrating different shrug variations for maximally growing the trapezius (upper, middle, and lower segments).
