Thoughts on low dose test e cycle
This is a long one, for the pertinent shit, read the bold. Thanks.
About five years ago, I did a cycle of test prop only. The even cc worked out to about 105mg eod, which was around 420mg/wk. I had Liquidex at .25 eod and a good PCT. However, while the cycle yielded incredible results, I had some terrible side effects. Night sweats were terrible, it was like someone threw a bucket of water on me while I slept. I would get mild compartment syndrome in my calves and lower back - which I though was just cramps. The pain from that was awful. Speaking of pain, the pins were a mofo. I had three sites, both glutes and one quad. 24hrs after pinning it was almost impossible to sit and sometimes I couldn’t walk. Worst of all, I started to get a bit of gyro - that eventually went away with my PCT and time. Anyway, this whiny list could go on for a while, but I digress. In the end, I put on excellent size and strength. Plus I was shredded, which was totally secondary to a strict clean diet - thanks diet forums.
My point here, even though I had good gains on my first cycle, the shit I went through wasn’t worth it. It felt like I was taking too much of a dose. I got the prop from a buddy at work, whose cousin made it at his house. It was dumb. But I saw his results and some other co-workers and thought I could trust it.
Fast forward five years and I’ve been sticking to a fairly strict diet, I’m in the gym almost daily training my ass off. I recently purchased Test e from a reputable source - not made in a kitchen sink. I’m looking to do my second cycle - test e only. I’m not trying to put on a bunch of mass. I just want to get my strength up, shred up, and heal some injuries common to most 36 y/o’s like myself. What’s the thoughts on doing a low dose test e only cycle? I’m thinking about 150mg e4d, for only 300mg/wk (that’s .6cc’s every pin) for 12 weeks. I’ve read plenty of people on here and other places saying you get more bang for your buck with 500 or more, that low doses are a waste of money. Still, I’ve read excellent articles on low doses and guys having great results. I feel like my first cycle was too much and I really don’t want to go down that road again.
