Never ran a cycle
Using 2iu gh/d

Training 7+ years, last 2 I've focused less on athletic/hiit/running, and more on strictly body building style training. Currently running John meadow's taskmaster program. Training 6x weekly with a bro, 0430 on work days and 0830-09 after shift.

Goal is to put on size

Holding at Maintenence after a cut from 195lb/88kg to 165lbs/75kg
TDEE 2515
Planning to increase +100-150kcal weekly or possibly every 2 weeks weight progression depending
2513kcal - 206 protein, 75 fat, 253 carbs (current)
retatrutide 2.5mg/wk
Diet is dialed, chicken, Ground beef, turkey, venison, legumes, quinoa other grains, veg, fruits, Greek yogurt.

Supplements - creatine, krill oil, milk thistle, nac, taurine, caffeine, zinc, gallon water daily

Bloodwork was taken, around 3 months ago, additionally my job requires a full life scan annually, ecg, ultrasound, chest xray, stress test, etc.

500 test Cypionate a week for 16-20 weeks, injecting twice a week
Aromasin on hand. I do not plan to PCT.

I've researched allot on pinning frequencies, I understand the twice weekly is good for a first time user. Curious if anyone on their first cycle did an EOD schedule to mitigate any possible size effects, and to keep levels more stable?

Any input, critiques, or suggestions are more than welcome. I'll update this thread as the cycle starts and ends.
