Let's Do This... My "Second" Cycle

Yes, you read right… I’m considering doing a cycle. I did one back in 2021. My first one. 250 mg of Testosterone Enananthe once a week for 10 weeks.

Because of no good knowledge I didn’t do any PCT, just bought the Testo from a pal and started. My libido literally shut down, and I had issues of erectile dysfunction afterward. It’s better now.

Anyhow. Back to business. I’m a fighter, and I’ve done my homework. By fighter, I mean martial arts.

I read a good combo is testosterone + EQ if you’re a fighter. Truth or false?

I’m considering doing a cycle of…

500 mg testosterone (either enananthe or sustanon, don’t know which is best?) twice a week, i e every third day

250 mg EQ once a week

For total ten weeks…

PCT
Nolvadex 40/40/20/20 ED for four weeks

Is this a solid cycle?

Two major questions remains…

I was told that if you run or other intense cardiovascular activity while on steroids you get an enlarged heart… I know I sound silly, but this has spooked my brain every since I hear it. I run alot to keep my cardio up.

Second, because of last (my first one) cycle I got problems with libido and some kind of erectile dysfunction, I’m quite worried about that the same will happen again.

So, whats the opinion on this?

As you should be. Blood work would help tell you why that happened, and also help you avoid it this time around. If I were you, I’d just do another round of testosterone by itself and really make the most of it. 12-16 weeks (others can chime in but 10 weeks of EQ is likely too short). And it’s not a great drug for guys that PCT due to the long HL. Get yourself 300-500mg of test a week, alone, and run the hell out of it. Good luck

Why exactly are you running a cycle? What are you trying to accomplish?

Myea, lets get 1 thing straight… You are a fighter when you get paid for it. Otherwise you are less of a fighter than the girl who carries the numbers in between rounds.

By the lack of clear info about what exactly you do, which weight class, when is your fight and is it tested or not, i take it you are a guy who joins some dojo for classes a few times a week.
That is not a fighter, because i bet your dojo has some single moms there also. I dont think they go around saying they are fighters.
Sooo you definetly dont need steroids to spar some single moms and highschool kids. If you cant beat anyone without steroids at this level, then where do you go from here after you take em?
You should have at least lost 3-5 actual fights before you decide to take anything. Somehow i think you havent had a single fight and by how you use “martial arts” im not even sure if the stuff you do is not some sort of “urban tai chi”.

Unless you are pro, OR a superheavyweight i just dont see how using steroids will help you fight. Pros need them to compete agains other pros.
Super-heavies need it to be big, because thats the name of the game. When i started fighting i was 93kgs at very leanest and superheavies start at 91kg, and my competition went up as high as 130kgs. That is why i took steroids - so i can at least be like 101kgs vs 130kgs. Other than that, it didnt help me shit.

Just some food for thought. EQ is an extremely long acting drug. Generally it needs to be run for longer periods to milk all benefits and at moderate to high doses. EQ has the ability in some to lower effects of E2. The EQ will be in your body awhile and screw up your PCT timing so you may want lengthen your cycle and stop the EQ two weeks before the Testosterone. Then PCT timing based on your testosterone only.

It helps with getting the “sparing” sessions though :wink:

Naa it doesnt, women really couldnt give less of a fuck about 1inch more or less to your bicep.

I agree. I also think there is more to lifting long term than 1" on the bicep. A guy at his natural potential looks good for him. Being enhanced to 25lbs more doesn’t help much with women.

It’s just not practical IMO to reach natural potential actually natural. The last 20 percent takes forever. A bit of gear can get someone there over a year versus 10. Someone could live like a monk and do it, it’s just not worth it to me. I think I could achieve my current physique natty, but it would be no fun at all. Don’t get me wrong, I get accused of using steroids from random people and coworkers. I just think if one completely dedicated themselves to being as jacked as possible over a decade natty, they would look great.
