What does everyone usually cruise at after blasting 500mg of test a week? I’m currently at 250 but I’m wondering if I should lower it or keep it at 250. No issues for me but want others opinion
How long are your blasts and cruises?
IMO you choose either true TRT or high testosterone levels. The high testosterone should be high with 200 mg/wk (assuming pharmaceutical grade testosterone).
I believe true TRT would be safer over the long haul (a few decades). But I would think that you would retain more blast gains with very high testosterone cruises (250 to 400 mg/wk)
For me true TRT is 140 mg/wk.

I think basing your cruise off what you’re willing to blast makes sense. Doesn’t make sense blasting grams of gear and cruising on 200. But, if your planning on keeping things mild (around a gram total or lower, and no stuff like Tren), then I think 200 mg is plenty for most. How long are you planning on doing this?

The higher the cruise the better for gains, but could be worse for health. Then again i dont think 50-75mgs of test a week here or there will save your life or end it at any age.

I cruise between 150-200 mg test/wk. More recently I have been closer to the lower end.
After several years of basically “perma-blasting”, I’ve brought my weekly dose down to 100 mg Masteron and 100 mg of Test E.
I’ve seen no significant loss of muscle or increase in fat. Mr. Johnson still works as well as ever plus its just more economical to use less.
My blast is 16 weeks and I would cruise for 12-16 weeks until my next blast but I try to cruise for how long I blasted for.
When you cruise 150-200 how much Ai do you take?
Id be surprised if anyone needs ai on that dose… I can live with no ai on 1g…
Do you find yourself making linear gains throughout the entire 16 weeks?
I definitely needed ai on 500. Had to take aromasin 12.5 tablets everyday to maintain my estrogen level and I’m currently taking 6.25 to maintain my estrogen level just for 250 a week.
Yeah from 12-16 is when my gains really shined and just kept going up
My next blast will consist of test cyp 500 and anavar 50mg either the beginning of the cycle or towards the end . What do you recommend?
Do you need it or does the paper of bloodwork says you need it?
I need it regarding my side effects, oily skin, acne and ever since I been doing the dosages that works perfect for me all the side effects have gone away. Blood work would definitely be more effective which I’m going to be getting tomorrow. I had issues with slight gyno when I was taking no AI. Had a bump behind/under my nipple. Had to take nolvadex everyday for a month and it finally went away and once I got my ai dosages right , haven’t had any issues knor any gyno symptoms
Its ok, im just checking cuz my bloodwork can show 300 e2 but i get no sides so no point of ai in my case.
Damn must be nice! If I don’t take Ai my face gets really oily And the pimples get out of hand. Had to learn the hard way
Would you recommend me doing 500 test cyp a week and var in the beginning of the cycle or the end? Should I increase , lower or keep the test at 500 if I’m going to combine it with var?
Honestly unless you are very lean i dont see any use of var. As anabolic it is shit. If you want mild, add primo or even better - add eq and your e2 problems will be solved as eq kills e2 good.

I also could add that i never got the point of taking a certain steroid at the start or the end of a blast. I mean, no drug will make a noticable difference in 6 weeks. Either you take it or you dont.
The whole concept of using some extra oral at some point of the blast comes from getting ready for bodybuilding shows where things like var can give you the finishing cosmetic touch, but unless you are lean and ready to step on stage, you might not see the cosmetic effect and var is too weak for males to grow any serious tissue unless again, the guy taking steroids is small and has no business taking steroids in the first place.
I also believe some people are stuck on var because its supposed to be “mild”. Keep in mind that the mildness comes from comparing miligram for miligram. Also remember that people report taking dbol at doses like 20mgs up to 50mgs while same people would take var up to 100mgs. So the mildness goes out the window when you use more of the mild drug to actually get something out of it.
Also, i would use var only for cosmetic benefits if already lean, OR as a bridge between orals. Id start stanazolol for cut for like 12 weeks, then switch to var for 12 weeks and then go mass blast with anadrol or dbol, for example. Id use var just to give my liver a break because it is milder on the liver.
As far as HDL goes, mine is 0,49(normal range 1-3) as soon as i up the dose on anything, and it stays there no matter how much of anything i take, so the only concern is organ damage, and thats why var is a good bridge.
