Post your experiences with the compound listed in the title here. Anything from doses, sides, gains made, gains kept, mental sides, etc. Try and think to write your post from the perspective that someone totally new to AAS is reading this post.

Recently decided to go back to basics with a classic high testosterone cycle. After so many years of running combinations of different compounds i forgot how amazing, and I say amazing in the sense of anabolism, lack of side effects, and the overall good feeling that high test provides. I’m about 3 weeks into a 1g/week cycle and will titrate up until the sides outweigh the gains. Feeling great and strength is going up. Recovery is A+ getting 8 or more hours of sleep a night. For an AI I’m running 6.25mg asin eod but will increase if needed. Haven’t done bloods yet but feel better on any cycle that I’ve ran in years.

Pure test is highly underrated.

Buddy! I just upped mine to an all time 1.5, shoulda done it a year ago but instead wasted time trying to get something out of nearly all other compounds, everything but test gave me too much sides in the end.

Cypionate: Feels great, easy to pin and get dosing down with 200mg/ml vials. My trt is 120mg, or bumped up slightly when blasting (180mg weekly usually, or 300mg while bulking).

Enanthate: Can't use it, had some for my first cycle and opted out for propionate due to the fucking PIP and lumping up. Even plugs from here I lump badly on enanthate, so cyp has been my main chick..

Propionate: I keep going back to it, it's my all-time favorite. Tend to run it 300mg weekly when I do run it, also use it for a jumpstart when I come off TRT for a month and it helps me get back into things.

Test Base/ No-Ester: Didn't use suspension back when it was largely water based, heard many horror stories of pip and crystalizing in the depot. Oil-based fare these days are pretty fun to play with for a pre-workout punch in the nuts.

Acetate: Slight lumpy effect, but feels good like prop. The lumping isn't even painful, oddly enough. I do like pinning delts and having that inflammation make my delts look stupid dense.

I would like to run: Undecanoate (hard to figure out dosing), Phenylpropionate, Isocaporate, Methyltestosterone and Dihydrotestosterone (found raws, just need time to order and make a pre with it).

honest question but what do you get out of running test at 300 when bulking? seems just too conservative to be worth it.

I tend to do better with blood pressure with test under 400, also I don't care to be a mass monster so I train with an idea of how I'd like my physique to appear.

Not to mention, injectable L-Carnitine and Proviron can augment the body's use of testosterone. I try to stay on LCAR as often as possible.

Also, I look like this using less than 300mg test per week.;):sneaky:

looking good!! Thanks, makes more sense now. I’m kinda on the other end of spectrum where I’m still seeing what I can grow from and whatnot. By this point i’m not progressing much but i’m happy. 300 Test is what i’m going to cruise on when i’m done with my blast, it’ll just feel wimpy for me cause i’m running high test now.

High test is best, is what they say.

I don't convert much and I've always been a big fan of high test only cycles. I'm talking about like 1-2g a week. I've never in my life gotten bigger than on 1800 test e a week. I literally had to buy new clothes 14 weeks in lol. Felt awesome. Slept great, hungry as fuck, strong as am ox. Took BP meds and 1mg arimidex every 3 days kept my e2 around 100pg which I feel best on. I luckily don't get much acne but I was pretty oily on this cycle.

Test is best ran high for me. 750-1250 is nearly side effect free for me as long as diet is clean. Hematocrit never above 49, I never donate blood, my blood is expensive. Mentally feels amazing, strength and pumps are incredible. Libido through the roof. 25mg aromasin m/w/f on injection days. Bloodwork is impeccable on test only cycles for me.

Fucking love hearing this. I'm getting tired of all these other anabolics and want to do high test next. Masteron gets me on edge and I want to snap at everyone. Primo makes me feel like I'm not all there. Deca/npp makes me lazy. Deca/dbol only makes me lazy and slow/dumb mentally. Won't touch dhb or trest. EQ and tren have been the only all stars so far outside of test. No issues there.

I'm genuinely curious to know if the guys running super high doses of test have any hair at all?
I actually lowered by test dose because during my first test only cycle I started shedding like crazy and that scared me.
So, now on my second cycle I lowered the dose to 400mg/wk

It's just not an issue. Not genetically predisposed to lose it. I'm on 900mg a week with zero increase in hair loss.

When you say “won’t touch DHB or trest”. Can you elaborate for me? Been researching DHB heavy and would love all thoughts..

Trest doesn't do anything you can't get with something else but it can cause high BP and gyno.

Dhb seems to raise c-reactive protein in a large majority of users meaning inflammation which is also bad really bad for the heart and organs

I want to run higher Test, but planned Msteron or Primo to hopefully modulate e2
Im surprised to hear that Tren would be preferred over Primo.
Never understood why EQ has a long ester instead on Enanthate

cause it was developed for horses and they didn’t feel like injecting a horse very frequently.

There’s no Boldenone Enanthate but you can find bold-cyp. SHA-Athletics has it but he’s closed atm for a restock.

This may not be what you're looking for but I can share my experience with TRT. I was hypogonadal (less than 300 total test) and had most of the common symptoms: low energy, extreme anxiety, bouts of depression, unable to handle high stress, fear about things going wrong, low confidence with women, etc. My Doc tried to get my on an SSRI, which I refused, so I went the TRT route with one of the classic "anti-aging" clinics. They started me on 200mg cypionate injection once per week, which brought my levels to 650 ng/DL at the trough on injection day, I'm guessing over 1000 after the injection.

Literally everything in my life improved. Anxiety diminished greatly, more energy, able to talk to people without being as self conscious, less fear about life. One of my biggest fears was fucking up at work and losing my job and about 3 weeks into TRT I had a sudden realization: it I get fired I can literally just find another job. Why am I even stressing over this? TRT didn't solve all my problems in life but it gave me the confidence that I COULD solve them.

I'll cut my personal blog off there, but yeah it was life changing. Amazing what healthy hormone levels can do for you.
