Cycle question for a beginner

Pharma / TRT
1

Hello everyone,

I’ve been lurking the sub for a while and finally decided to jump on a mild Test and HGH cycle for the first time as I’m about to enter my dirty thirties. So, I come to you with a few questions - but first my stats:

Male, 29 yo
6’2
Currently 220 lbs, ~19% bf
Blood test came back healthy and normal

Been natural my whole life, have had some “urges” to hop on a cycle throughout my 20’s but alas here I am.

The major deciding factor for me to consider this seriously was:

  1. my test levels are NOT what they were a couple years ago. Dropped from 520 to 470. I did put on about 5% bf, and believe the added stress due to my career has impacted this.

  2. I’m looking for something I can sustain long term - fighting father time as long as i can haha

Also, let me preface this by saying I am not trying to look like Ronnie Coleman, or a bodybuilder for that matter. I am simply trying to optimize my training, fasten recovery so I can train more often, and maintain around 10-14% bf year round.

Here is what I am thinking:

-cruise on Test 250 mg/wk, pin e3d
-6 month hgh, 5iu daily, pin in AM (start with 3iu month 1, 4iu month 2, 5iu months 3-6)

what are your thoughts on this for a beginner?

I would drop your BF down to 10%-12% before you do anything. 19%bf is not a good starting point to build muscle or start taking test. You will aromatize at a higher rate and constantly be trying to keep estrogen in check.
Once there make sure your training/diet are optimized for muscle growth.
Start a training/diet log so we can help you.

What does “cruise” mean? Long term? 10-12weeks?
For GH i would just run 1-2iu/daily for a year or more. 0 need to go any higher unless your in a building phase you could go to 4iu and split dose morning/post WO. For general health stick to 1-2iu.

Agree with @s.gentz. You’re 29 acting like you’re 49 bro. TT levels fluctuate during the day. Testing TT doesn’t really tell you shit. You’ll get more out of proper training and nutrition than AAS. If your dead set then 250mg a week is fine and you’ll want to start with 1-2iu and ramp is up very slowly. If your IGF1 is already decent don’t bother with HGH. It requires high doses and insulin properly timed to build muscle.
