I'm going to go back on Tren a few months from now, and I'll probably do a cycle of about 8 - 12 weeks. I run my Tren with the minimal amount of Test as follows:
Trenbolone Acetate 150mg EOD
Tren is the beast of steroids. 500mg/wk is a lot of Tren. I'm assuming this is your first Tren cycle. I would recommend you get 5 or 6 cycles under your belt before you run Tren.
Testosterone Propionate 25mg EOD
At 27, your body is producing about 70mg/wk of Test. You're going to shut down your natural production of Test for less than 100mg/wk of exogenous Test? Not a good idea.
I don't use an AI, DA or hCG. I've used them in the past but I don't feel the need for them with my Tren cycles. I might use a little bit of hCG during cycle next time just to keep my balls alive.
Take AI and HCG, read this http://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-s...%2A%2A%2A.html
I've been thinking about how I should start my next cycle. In the past, I have started my cycles with a jolt. There have been times when I've begun a cycle by injecting about 1g of Tren A in one go. The idea was to give myself some sort of jolt.
1g of Tren will give you a jolt alright. "There have been times", so you've run high Tren before?
I've been thinking does this actually make any scientific sense. Anabolic steroids work by binding to androgen receptors... so if I give myself a jolt of 1g of Tren A right at the beginning, then will I just end up down-regulating my receptors, meaning that future injections won't be as effective?
Sounds like you're thinking of Beta receptors.
Would it make more sense to start off with a single injection of 50mg Tren, then next time do 100mg Tren, then 150mg Tren, so that my receptors don't think "Oh holy crap I've just got bombarded with Tren so I better downregulate".
