Looking to dial in
ad
I've been in one flavor of fitness or another for about 18 years. Anywhere from military physical training to P90X to tyipical gym-bro shit to dabbling in power lifting. It was 17 years of this before finally touching AAS with a mild dosage of Test and anavar. It felt amazing. Then did again earlier this year with 200mg/week test and 25mg/day Tbol. Felt even more amazing and got great results considering the mild amount of AAS I was taking. I'm only looking to be fake natty hollywood shredded. Not a mass monster. I'll be happy to achieve 230lbs 8 to 10%BF at 6'2" and have a high amount of athleticism. Vigorous Steve has been my resource to understanding compounds and best practices for AAS but I'm happy to accept wisdom form wherever.

FYI I did 230mg Test E and 25mg/day for 12 weeks that i finished about 5 weeks ago. Got leaner, stronger, and slightly bigger. It was perfect for my goals. On TRT now at 100mg/week of Sustanon which is preserving my gains quite well. Blood work is great right now so I could start my next "cycle" whenever. I did some mitochondria peptides as well. Those worked great to drive leanness and energy.
Looking to do 250mg to 300mg Test E next. Still 25mg/day T-BOL (i fuckin love the endurance from it) as well as some choice mitochondria peptides. Trying to drive leanness while preserving muscle/strength without reaching for the higher risk compounds. Once i get to my BF goal, i'm just gunna maintain it the best I can (famous last words before becoming bloatmaxxed nandrolone junkie).
masternakSounds like you've got a good plan brewing. Keep us updated on how the next cycle goes! --
Hgh would be a good addition if you’re looking for that Hollywood shredded look. Masteron too but given your post doesn’t sound like you need it. Many of us cruising at 200mgs test, you could up dosage for a blast but again doesn’t sound like you need to given your goals.
I got me some HGH on standby
You’ll want to run it for at least 6 months at 4-6iu daily to reap benefits you’re after
Vigorous Steve would tell you to do test only at increasingly high doses alone until you are no longer getting results before adding in another compound.
Yeah. And his recommended starting dosage of Test is about 1mg/week per lb of body weight. So that's about what I run. He also recommends Tbol as a begginer oral after running test for a while.
When I did it earlier this year, I gained 16lbs of lean mass and had a very successful recomp. The Tbol gave me crazy endurance and motivation in the gym. When I came off of everything, I dropped 10lbs over the course of 8 weeks during PCT and such but I still have the better composition. It's baby gains but it was nice.
I think he would also say don't PCT, just TRT/"cruise", so you'd keep most of what you gained next time... honestly looking at your dose, you could have just dropped the Tbol and stayed at 200mg indefinitely.
Fair. Its just been me dabling so far and seeing how my body responds. Steve has a good HRT+ protocol that would be sustainable for me to cruise at.
If it helps anecdotally for you, I started TRT at 120mg/week when I was 38, slowly ramped it up to 200 mg/week, all under endocrinologist supervision (not an online clinic). Always felt amazing at this dose, libido/lifts/cardio. At 45, started to dabble in blasts (500mg test the first time, then test+primo, then multi-compound, GH, etc), and now a few years later with the help of this board, I've found what I think is a nice blast/cruise/blast/TRT rhythm that lets me keep each cycle of gains, while not suffering sides and staying healthy.
That sounds like a nice progression. I responded very well to 200mg of test. The goal was recomp so I existed mostly in a calorie deficit will refeedings here and there. I'll try cruising at 150mg after this next "cycle" with test and tbol. I have bloodwork coming up soon to see if my HPTA is back in order. I doubt it every took much of a hit but i want to be sure.
He also is a primo feen
He's definitely got the money to support it. Not like us losers
This is the safest and best route for longevity. What a guy
Good old Steve daddy
I def didnt go that route lmao
I'm on that lame ass route. Except anavar and tbol here and there.
Yea I’m a test guy that throws in some orals lol
We are just a couple lame guys
Interested in trying npp or dhb tho
We should do matching cycles
Respect
Then don't even use gear just diet and exercise you will get what you are trying to achieve. This has to be Ai
lol not AI but its getting hard to tell these days. I'm fairly ectomorphic. Putting on mass is a task and a half. So yes I'm being a lazy fuck and reaching for a bit of assistance.
Yea if you’re getting the results gear isn’t a necessity depending on goal
