First Test/EQ Cycle

ad

6'5 - 240 - 13-15% BF

Cycle History
TRT since January 2021
TRT + Rad 140 @ 20mg/day - 8 weeks calorie surplus
250mg test / wk + LGD 4033 @ 10mg/day - 8 weeks - calorie surplus - reached my top weight of 265

20 week cycle:
300mg test / wk + 400mg primo / wk - 10 weeks - Goal: recomp
300mg test/ wk + 300mg mast P / wk - 10 weeks - calorie deficit

300-500mg test / wk + 200-400mg mast / wk - 12 weeks - Goal: recomp

Currently cutting on 250 test and some winny for the next 5 weeks - Goal: 10-12% BF

PLANNING MY OFFSEASON
Goal: stay under 15% BF and add 5-9lbs of tissue over the next 6 months (October - March) - eating in a calorie surplus to add 2-3lbs a month

Notes: I really want a slower and steady approach with no crazy overnight results. I plan to get bloods done after 3 months on to check in on everything to make sure I can continue. I really like the idea of EQ providing more vascularity and more endurance with the slower lean gain type of results. I have done a hell of a lot of research all over the internet and see 600mg is the starting dose. My issue with that is having to run more test than EQ so I don't run into estrogen problems - I need to stay fully functioning mentally as I run my own business and it does require me to be in a very energetic mood most of the day. Starting at a dose of 600mg EQ would mean my test needs to be as high as 750 and I don't like the idea of blasting that quite yet. I believe I can squeeze out more gains still on 500mg test and 400mg EQ a week.

The question here is that with my given cycle history which of these cycles would allow me to reach my goal of adding 5-9lbs (or more if realistic) of lean tissue to my frame? I track everything that I eat and I like to think of food as the best anabolic.

400 test, 300 eq for 12 weeks followed by 500 test, 400 eq for 16 weeks --- 28 weeks total

400 test, 400 eq for 25 weeks total

400 test, 400 eq for 10 weeks followed by 500 test, 500 eq for 12 weeks --- 22 weeks total

500 test, 500 eq for 8 weeks followed by 600 test, 600 eq for 10 weeks --- 18 weeks total

I have 10,000mg EQ to utilize and as much test as needed for this "offseason" cycle.

Any opinions are welcome!

Bold Cypionate would be a lot easier to control with timing with test. I used to run it all the time - you can inject less oil and it seemed to be dryer at lower doses more kick. No waiting around forever for it to kick in and will leave your system faster if you run into any issues. 200-400 was the sweet spot for me.

hahahah thanks man!! yeah thats what I meant I deleted my comment bc I didn't read what you put all the way through -- but yeah I convert estrogen at a low rate -- I read 1:1 ratio would be a safe spot
