    So long as you know that there’s always a gamble that could result in your being on TRT for life, enjoy the experiments. I rather enjoy being married to the needle, but the prospect freaks some people out. As such, I’d rather they know it’s a thing.

    Yeah I hear you. Sifting through all the knowledge found online is a beast, so it’s good to hear from people directly on the forums. I feel like I’ve done a lot of research, but that research definitively told me I’d have zero results on my last cycle, but I gained 15lbs of muscle, so I’m trying the forums this go-around. I appreciate the heads up on TRT, though.

If that’s the case, even a short ester 8 week run could result in him being hypo, in which case he’ll be far worse off than now, within a few months.
    One of the nastier myths that still goes around is that “proper PCT” works all of the time. There are some people that it just flat out doesn’t ever work for, and they end up being TRT candidates for life.

    I actually just had blood work done and everything is fine, including normal test levels. It’s been a full year since my first cycle. It sounds like a short, test-only cycle is good for a temporary bulk- almost like a reverse crash diet. I also spoke to a doctor about it (risky I know, but this guy was a champ) and he said a short 5-6 week cycle is fine. If I don’t see any gains over the next 9 pins, at least I’ll add that to my knowledge base and try for a longer cycle in the summer with some more tried-and-true compounds.

    This makes sense. I’m wondering if that’s why I exploded on the cycle I did after just a few weeks last year and then lost all the gains within a month.

    Do you mean doing a cycle with only test? (apologies, still v new to this)

    Valuable advice. Thanks, All. I might just treat this like a short Test-only cycle, since I have it, and look for more gear later in the spring. It was originally supposed to include tren but the bottle smashed (!). If I see results I’ll post them here. 🙂

    Ah. Good to know. Thanks for the advice. I might still experiment a bit to see if I can get any results but, yes, it seems like a very small amount.

    I did one short 5-week cycle of a Test blend with Equipoise last year pinning 275mg Test and 200mg equipoise every 4 days. I tolerated it like a champ and the results were pretty spectacular as I looked like the damn Michelin Man (in a good way). Unfortunately I deflated like a popped balloon within a month afterwards.

    Trying to decide if I should load Masteron in the first half for its cutting properties and then just coast on the Test until I’m out. I only have 10ml of each (250mg/ml Test and 100mg/ml Mast)
