Kind of a beginner
I’m going to go back on test cyp. Background I ran cypionate at about 200 to 250 mg weekly for about 1.5 years. Skipping some weeks or even going a month. At the last 6 months of using test I started to be a bit more disciplined with workout. Spending more time in the gym lifting heavier etc. diet. All of that. Upping calories. I then since September of 2022 have not had any injections nor any pct. I lost my car. Got evicted from apartment so getting to gym was a problem plus living with family who didn’t agree with me using test. Now I’ve learned how to recognize when I’m being a bit over the top so I’m gonna try to keep that in check. Anywho. I’ve got a bottle on the way of cypionate. Wondering if maybe I should stack it with a cutter of some sort just to try it out. I’m 5 10 about 185 lbs still about 20% body fat. Might have gotten as low as 17 when on test. Also should I be using and aromatose inhibitor ? I think that might be like anastozole. I started out with one of those trt clinics then ended up just getting test from a guy at the gym. I’ve now found an online source so id like some info on a solid ass cycle that I could see some serious gains in the most safe form. Thanks for any advise. Peace.

RustyhookerSo you started trt with thst 1.5years and your natural system will NEVER restart. Funny that folks think everyone on trt works out. Although better food will keep you healthy and working out gives your parter better sex.
Get bloods and better life choices. Or a good stroke will sit you down
Lilarnold84I don’t understand guy
He means you probably fucked your hormones up permanently by taking testosterone for so long and then stopping. In order to figure out if that's the case you need to get bloodwork. If you had a doctor prescribing you hormones in the past, you need to go back to that doc and show him this post. If not, go and get referred to an endocrinologist or urologist.
Lilarnold84Just got labs ordered today actually will share once I see the results.
Stop. Reread your post. You are flooding your system with exogenous testosterone then stopping at a manic and frankly stupid level. I'm not calling you stupid but stupid is as stupid does. Please read more into this. Ideally about your HPTA and about all steroids in general. You're gonna get flamed hard here pal.
Lilarnold84Well I did cold Turkey. I been off the test. For over six months. Today was my first day in the gym and I was weak as hell. Went from
Box squatting ( cuz of ankle Injury I will do barbell squats off the box or with plates under heel to make up for lack of mobility ) I mean I was squatting 315 and benching 245 so the test and my regimen were obviously getting me somewhere. Guess I’m just too lazy to read a bunch of articles and organize my workout.
Get your life together, take this shit serious before trying anything.
This is ludicrous.
I'm kind of pregnant
In your profile intro, you stated that you "haven't been working out much". It's only been 6 months since that disastrous run you had with Cyp when you'd skip weeks/months of injecting before doing so again...which had your blood levels comparable to a roller coaster up and down , which had a lot to do with the outcome of "going over the top" as you put it. I'd highly recommend you take one whole year and really focus on consistently lifting and fine tuning your diet and habits. Get your body and mind healthier and do it naturally then once that's happened, get your bloodwork done and test levels checked to see if you even need extra test and/or see where your levels are currently at.
Do some research on these compounds and know what you are using and learn about AIs. You can also get your test levels checked and blood work done now just to be certain, but jumping on anything right now would not be the wisest choice for you IMO. Not test, and especially not a "cutter" like you suggested/thought of. 20% bf is not good to begin test with and you will be open to a slew of negative estrogen related sides with bf being that high You are under the impression that "drugs will fix all" and that's the farthest from the truth if we are being honest here. I'd save that vial of test Cyp you have on the way for later on. Good luck and wish you well.
Lilarnold84Requested you as friend. I was gonna send this in PM but realized I could not. Sorry to be so long winded.
Thanks for the advice. After reading it I found that I have to agree with you even tho I really just wanna jump back on test and see if it will help me excel. I still very novice to the community of bodybuilding. Again I just spent 6 months off due to “life stuff” but am now in a position to be back in the gym full time. I’ve struggled maintaining my diet and also structuring my work outs. I’ve done well at effort meaning like time in the gym, weight increase stuff like that and I’ve even had some decent runs with diet by that I mean like eating clean for a week. I tend to usually fall off for one reason or another. It’s a lot to keep up with all the cooking. Cleaning and cost. Needless to say I still had some decent gains at the time for my own self. Also I would mention I used the test to accelerate growth following a super bad ankle injury where I ended up with a fused left ankle. Started with Sarms in 2019 and then moved to trt in one of those clinics. But anyways. Any suggestions or links to good forum posts on diet would help. I mean I know the bmr stuff or like the formula. 4 calories per gram protein same for carbs 9 for fat. I work 40 hours a week in the meat department at Safeway here in California meaning I’m on my feet all day ( wasn’t working when I was lifting. Had no job actually) but I learned to eat clean. Mostly chicken breast , ground beef for carbs I was doing quinoa brown rice or any type of potatoe really.
But honestly let’s say I’m gonna try to hit it hard for the next 30 days. No test. I know I’ll be weak. But still I’ll be sure to push it on my workouts. How much should I be eating calorie wise and how many times per day. Or if you could. Any info helps. Thanks.
I’m also not good at tracking data in regards to my regimen. Not sure how much that matters.
Thanks man. Peace.
If you’re unable to track what you eat and consistently train for years then bodybuilding is gonna be fatiguing for you. No one here can tell you how much you should be eating and what your macro breakdown should be, you should be learning that on your own. If that seems like a daunting task, then once again, this lifestyle is gonna be frustrating for you. Use the search button and start figuring it out and spend the time training your ability to be consistent.
Saved me from typing alot
Lots of advice being passed on today that should be taken very seriously, this is some of it.
Lilarnold84Oh yea I’m 38 btw.
