@studhammer Thanks for your input. Though I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone, you also seem to have a good tolerance for running high levels of androgens given that your own extended first cycle of test @1800 mg/wk turned out okay.
Are you taking everything ED or just the Tren Ace?
Everything ED — 250 mg test cyp (1 cc), 200 mg NPP (2 cc), 100 mg tren ace (1 cc).
This is pretty shocking, that you can run 4 grams a week and have no sides
I was more than a little surprised myself—and while I do feel nice and robust, no superman—which is why I initially thought it more likely that the gear was simply bunk.
Another round of bloodwork is the first priority. Out of prudence, I only plan to stay at these levels long enough to get the bloodwork results before adjusting everything from there, with primary objectives being lean mass gain, recruitment of new cell nuclei, androgen receptor biogenesis and upregulation.
I do plan to stay on cycle long enough to build a stable foundation of muscle mass, which a medium chain ester like test cyp would call for a conservative minimum of twelve or so weeks of consistent training to lock the gains in. Contingent good results on upcoming bloodwork, I’d planned to continue out to a full 16 weeks.
I’m currently on week 6, having gradually built up to these doses over the last few weeks. Every day pinning really smooths out blood levels and seems key to reducing the hormone fluctuations that give rise to sides.
