I had GREAT results with Test-P Tren-A last cycle with Test being about twice the Tren dose.

QUESTION 1: I'm just now reading that the Test dose can simply be a maintenance dose to keep body functions normal, while allowing the Tren to do most of the work, and not compete for the same receptors. Can I drop my Test dose to 300 mg/ week?

Question 2: I have increased acne on my back and shoulders. Thus far this is the only side effects issue I'm having. Will lowering the test dose possibly help?

yes you can lower the test.
well lower the test may help a little for acne. you are running a compound 5x as powerful. get some benzoyl cream and scrub away

Very cool! For some reason I was thinking you had to dose test pretty high to keep your libido... But it does make sense - once you're shut down by a 19-nor, you only need enough test to keep you going, because they're two different things.. Right?
Yeah - and OILY skin! Gonna need two showers daily I guess.

Anyone have any different opinions on this?

It just depends on what your goals are from the cycle. Tren can make you look very lean and vascular while adding LBM. But if your goal is to grow as much as possible then there's nothing better than test IMO.

Lean growth. Hard and vascular is good, and lean muscle that I will keep after cycling is what I'm after. Pure size is secondary to high quality for me - Genetics say I'll never be a "big guy." ... Does that make sense / sound reasonable?
