Bulking Cycle - Opinions Please

Hi All,

I am running a new cycle and looking to bulk up as this will be my last bulking cycle before a final cut. I have previously run Tren, EQ, Deca, Masteron, Dbol, Anavar, etc. but have decided to do more of a controlled cycle. I am running:

Test P at 105mg/eod - 368mg/week
Tren A at 70mg/eod - 245mg/week
EQ at 210mg/eod - 735mg/week

I am wanting to keep the Tren on the low side to minimise sides and will run this for 16 weeks and continue the EQ until 20 weeks. I am also having 12.5mg of Aromasin every other day.

Diet is on point, macros on point and I am doing a Chris Bumstead Bro Split program with minimum 5 days a week at the gym. Currently 44 years old and 86kg with around 18% body fat.

Keen for any suggestions or feedback.

0 need to use tren on a bulk. Tren should be reserved for a contest prep.I think deca is a much better option.
Why are you running all short esters for 16 weeks? You like pinning every day?
Why would you pin EQ eod?
IMO opinion without really knowing much about you i would/have doen this with great success

Test E 400-500/wk split 2 shots/week
Deca 250/wk one or two shots/week
EQ 600-800/wk one or two shots/wk
Anadrol 25-50mg/day in the middle of the cycle for a couple weeks to break a lifting plateau.

I ran this exact cycle last year for 20weeks with great success.

IMO, your body fat is too high to bulk. I believe that for those who are training to look good should get no higher than 15% body fat. That is plenty fat enough to add muscle. I always wanted to be no more than 8 weeks out from a contest.

I agree, but am wondering if adjustments should be made for age.

Deca has always caused steroid acne and I pin eod not for enjoyment but to control hormone levels and prevent further breakout.

Last scan was 14.3% but 8 months ago so the percentage was a guess. Definitely not high in fat.

If I said I was going to ā€œbulkā€ the next cycle, I would mean that I was going to get bigger and stronger, but always show major muscle group separation. Sure some fat would be covering my muscles. I would lose all striations and sharpness. But I would definitely look like I could be ready for a contest in 8 weeks.

When many people say they are going to bulk up, most are already too fat and have no muscle separation. Considering the quantity of AAS you have been taking, you should look like a bodybuilder.

You are still young to have good muscle separation. You should want that look year round.

Thatā€™s quite a low dosage for a bulking cycle. Iā€™d be looking at double that, especially on the Test.

Agreed.
