+ 1 First blast
Hey gang,
This is my first post here. Today I'm 32 years old. I been on TRT for 3 or 4 years now. My prescribed protocol is ~130mg per week of test cyp (split twice per week) and 1,500 units of HCG (split 3 times per week) and it keeps me feeling great.
In my profile pic I'm 12% bf but today I'm closer to 16%. Back than I was doing 5hrs per week of cardio and eating in 8/16 intermittent fasted window. Reason for my post is I've plateaued and interested in trying a blast/cruise to keep things interesting. Main objective is to increase muscle mass. I want to look menacing.
I do less cardio now (maybe 3hrs per week max) and I ditched the intermittent fasting due to the fact I can't eat 3000+ calories in an 8 hour window (lol) but adhering to standard 40% carbs / 30% protein / 30% fats to gain weight.
I have access to a great TRT doctor, lab work, and steroids (thanks eroids) so I've decided this is something I'm serious about doing. Besides pinning my TRT dosage of test and HCG I have no steroid experience. From my research I'm very interested in these compounds: NPP, DHB, Primobolan, Dbol, and Anavar (to be used in addition to running test at 300mg for the blast) my main questions is:
[1] Would you suggest I run (a) the test + an oral (b) test + injectable or (c) could I run test + injectable + oral kick start. If you say stick to only blasting test I will oblige, but to be honest I want to make things more interesting than that.
[2] Is it safe to continue the HCG during the blast along with any combination of the steroids I mentioned above?
As we discuss I'll come up with more questions...

Test only somewhere between 300-500mg. With bloodwork, you can really dial in your ai, if and likely needed. Dont go crazy adding in multiple compounds at once. See how your body works with one thing at a time and various doses
Take it up to half gram a week of test , and some blood work if you think it's needed to check estrogen levels etc
Straight test for your first go around, at least a couple times. Since you're on TRT I would titrate up. Bump to 250 see how you feel after a few weeks. You may or may not notice any sides. Then go from there. Some people like to blast which I don't recommend because some people get hit by the sides train others have no issues.
First go is test only. Fine if you continue your HCG since you are already taking it with TRT. Start adding other compounds though and if something goes off the rails you have a real conundrum trying to figure out what is going on. If you can't make substantial gains off test only for your first couple of cycles adding in other componds now isn't going to make any difference except add more potential unwanted side effects. Whether you fail or succeed with AAS is going to boil down to your diet and training not what or how much compounds you are taking right now. Get back down to 12% or under though before starting and you will actually gain more muscle than starting out at 16% BF.
Solid advice sir thank you. When my bf is low enough to begin will 250mg/week for 12 weeks suffice for the blast? Than after I take a minimum 12 weeks to cruise on my prescribed TRT dose. Is that how the blast/cruise is done properly? My standard blood test checks estrogen, estradiol, and SHBG- are there any other particular markers you suggest monitoring before/after blasting? Are the liver and kidney markers only necessary when using additional "harder" steroids during advanced cycles? Last question I know there's a lot of different AIs available. Should I just discuss with my doctor and say I want it on hand?
Does your doc know you are going to go above your prescribed dose?
Not yet lol... but I imagine he will tell me it's not something he recommends but wants me to be safe. One more questions In addition to the ones above, would it be cool to add a peptide like GHRP-6? I'm interested in the benefits of additional hunger, better sleep quality, and higher GH level of course.
think twice about telling doc. It goes in their notes and insurance can drop you since they don't like to cover drug users, which you now become in their eyes. Might be better off just getting bloodwork done privately. I wouldn't monkey with the peps. You'll have enough going on already.
As far as bloodwork it is always good to have comprehensive panel done. Cholesterol is a biggie but when cycling you really need to know test and estro levels. You can pretty much assume that blasting is going to wreck everything in your bloodwork so get comprehensive panel done afterwards to make sure you are still healthy and/or need to pay special attention to something to fix it.
Bare minimum I would run would be 300mg/wk. I also liked setting a baseline cycle of 500mg/wk because alot of future cycles that is a common test dose when stacking and now you would know the proper ai dose you need for that amount of test. Just up to you how much you are comfortable running. Try 300 and then 500 next cycle maybe. Baby steps with this stuff.
I would 100% use a suicide inhibitor for AI like aromasin.
Rustyhooker^^^^^bump up test only about 600/wk. Bloods to see if ai needed and dose.
