I have been doing this cycle twice a year now for 5 years, (I’m now 45).
During a cycle 2 years ago I had a full medical and my heart and liver readings were a concern however I went back 2 month later once cycle complete and out system and all was fine.
Has anyone else had this before and also for those around my age or older how long is this kind of cycle sustainable.
I hear lots of horror stories regarding Trent I’ve been absolutely fine on it and my libido increase is just about my fave part!
Tren is gonna mess up your cholesterol/cardiovascular system. When we are younger we bounce back. As we get older it becomes more of a risk to use. I know from experience. I know have 2 small plaques in my heart. Personally if your not in contest prep at your age I would consider another cycle.
What are your goals? I can help design something that’s safer and you will get great results.
Bottom is me post cycle top now. Just maintain this sort of physique. I’m never going to be huge so providing I’m like this post cycle for holiday I’m happy.
You look great dude!!! IMO big enough to walk around and still be comfortable.
If your happy where you are I think a TRT+ type protocol would be your best best.
250-300mg/test year round(as long as good bloods support it) would be more than adequate to maintain that look. Would def be more healthy than running tren on and off.
Yeah def feel amazing on tren but as I’ve mentioned it’s hard on the cardiovascular system and can def cause damage the more it is used.
If you ran the higher test and sprinkled in some primo or EQ once or twic a year I think you cauls make incremental gains while still maintaining/building on what you have.
Yes, depending on what your taking it will mess up your bloodwork. Once you come of it should bounce back. This was always the case with me until this year.
Ran 100mgwk of tren for 12 weeks and cholesterol was f’d up pretty bad so I went and had a calcium score done and there was damage and now have 2 small plaques in my heart. That was back in August. Have repeat bloods later this month to see where cholesterol is at now and taking medication plus niacin to try to get rid of plaques. We will see. This is why I caution. You may not “see” the damage but it is happening.
I had one done a few years back and score was 0.
I came off cycle and cholesterol was out of whack so they sent me for another. Funny thing is insurance would not pay for it so I went out of pocket. $120!!! Wonder what they charge insurance? I’m hoping that with medication and some additional supps I can break those plaques down. Guess we will see. I have follow up bloods in a few weeks. I’ll post results in my log and tag you.
FINDINGS:
CALCIUM SCORING: 2 calcified plaques were identified.
This represents a mild calcium burden. This correlates with the 75-90th
percentile for an age and sex matched patient population.
The exam was performed without contrast, and the entire chest was not completely
visualized. Given this limitation, the following observations are offered.
Yeah that’s still not a bad score and probably inline with most men our age. I had a zero at 38 and another zero at 43. I stopped with anything but TRT and a lil replacement GH dose right before 42 so I was surprised but I never really did aggressive doses or compounds other than the time I ran low dose Tren A for 8 weeks
I had been running some clen and about 100mg/wk tren for 10 weeks prior to the high cholesterol on the bloodwork. Was prob off for 4-5 weeks prior to bloods.
I ran Tren A 15mg/day. Honestly it was the best I’ve ever felt on cycle. I tried pushing for more at 20mg but that started night sweats and headaches so I backed down and felt great. I also ran a little proviron with it and my TRT of course. Im still in the anti-tren for newbs camp. Only because you really need to know how your body responds to gear to manage it. But in small doses like that it’s not as harsh and sides you feel but I’m certain internally it’s still bad as you observed.
I’m in the anti tren for anyone but competitors on prep camp.
Even the pros that I’ve spoken with don’t run it outside of prep. Samson just started using it two years ago.
This is the issue. People think if I’m not feeling sides I’m not getting them. I know a lot of guys don’t pull bloods either. Wanna play you need to play smart.
How about a switch to ment aka Testolone. with this less is more, no aromatising either, no cardiovascular issues. you can also counteract any cholesterol issues with mounjaro/reta?
