I ask because what you do after will determine if it is worth it. It doesn’t make sense to do a big long blast if you plan on cruising on 150 mg/wk test for a long time after. You will just slowly lose gains. The blasts should match the cruises. Meaning a bigger cruise dose if you are going to do big long blasts. Also, probably shorter cruises. This path will likely produce good results, but also comes with the higher costs.
I do think the long blasts work best if we consider actual lean muscle gain (as hank mentioned). People have a perception the gains slow down, but that is because they even out (they aren’t gaining more water weight). They also may need to up the calories after a few months to keep gaining.
Only 5 years ago? the entire steroid community on multiple forums all had the same common knowledge to always use test and AIs just like people do now. The entire steroid community is identical to 5 years ago as far as advice is concerned. Nothings changed. I agree though, AIs are overused. And I’ve never gotten any side effects except night sweats and high BP.
Your gears prob not bunk bro, many people don’t Get side effects, I never do unless I go above 300 mg with Tren. Right now I’m on 400 mg of Tren enanthate, 400 test enth. 100 test prop weekly and getting no sides. It’s totally normal not to get side effects from drugs
