Hello you beautiful bastards,

I'm a 40 year old dude who has been on TRT for about a year. Went from a meager 220 ng/dl up to about 850 ng/dl with 180mg per week (twice weekly injections). Recently, I tested out 200mg instead of the standard 180mg and I went up to 1178 ng/dl, 296 free, and 52 estradiol (no side effects) - photo attached.

My current stack includes this 200mg test c per week, 4mg retatrutide per week, daily 2.5mg tadalafil (two hours before workouts), daily 4.2mg GHK-cu, daily 0.83mg TB-500, and daily 05mg BPC-157 (odd levels of the peptides are due to buying a 50-10-5 GLOW stack. Going to do 6-8 week cycles).

Obviously, the Test is to be healthy and strong, the reta is to lean out (high teens body fat and dropping) and the peptides are primarily to help with a knee and shoulder injury and to keep the skin lookin' fresh.

My plans are to do two things:

1.) Add about 2iu HGH per night to help with sleep, potentially complete the test-reta-hgh trifecta that people love so much. This would be indefinitely.

2.) Run 500mg test c for 16 weeks pinning 125mg every other day.

3.) If need be, add Anastrozole which is in the closet. Ideally, not needed.

4.) After 16 weeks, don't inject for about two weeks to let test levels go back down and then return to 200mg per week.

Are there any pitfalls here? I'm trying to keep it simple while minimizing sides and maximizing muscle gain while slowly decreasing body fat. I still have enough cushion on the gut that muscle gain has been moving along despite a slight deficit, so I assume the same will continue but more than willing to move into a surplus if I drop too much body fat to continue to make gains without a surplus.

I greatly appreciate any advice and insight. I would be lost without the wisdom of you physical specimens.
