How Much Test Does It Take?

I'm running about 120mgs/week of test cyp for trt. Would bumping it to 200mgs/week have any noticeable anobolic affect? How about 250mgs? Risk of sides?

Not really, Brazen. If you want to blast through your TRT dose, run 350-400mg if you're using your prescription, or 500mg+ if you're running UGL junk. You'll need to increase your AI accordingly. (or simply use one if you aren't)

I think it could depending on what range the 120mg/week puts you in.

Last lab had me slightly over top of range. I do plan to run my first cycle (maybe as many as the first three) with test C. All I will need to get is an AI although at my current dose I have zero estrogen sides...

It is prescription. I'm just getting a little antsy to put on some muscle without running a full 400mg cycle but I can wait if that is the way it needs to be. I will need to get some form of AI when the time comes.

what about adding a different compound that doesn't aromatize on top of your TRT?

Personally I think you're doing a great job cutting right now. Keep that pace and worry about cycling later. You've taken a big step to reach ~17% BF. To add muscle, you'll need to eat at a caloric increase, and that will just add more fat with the muscle. Stay the course and cycle later, you'll appreciate it later and you won't feel like you'll be fighting a never ending battle with body fat.
