What’s your ultimate cruise or HRT?

[i_SLAM_cougars]

Everyone always talks cycles and blasts, and yeah that’s a lot of fun obviously. I love being on a fuck ton of gear, but obviously we have to slow down and maintain at some point or take breaks (except OBS, but he’s not human).

When it comes to cruising up until recently I was a 250mg/wk test kind of guy. Seems a lot of us go that way. And it kind of sucks. Then I’ve noticed a lot of guys (particularly the older guys) had some pretty intricate cruises, or HRT routines. At some point GearHeaded brought up that maybe the real thing to do if you can swing it is just run some permanent combo of low dose test/primo/deca forever, and occasionally blast some Tren /Mast when you need to look like something. So for the last 6 weeks or so I’ve been running 250mg of test and 400mg of primo, and I like it. A lot.

Now the only issue is I’ve been off of nandrolone for 6 weeks and my joints, and in particular my shoulder feel like dog shit. So I want to incorporate deca back in. So I’m doing so at 250mg/week. I also added Tren in at 200mg/week because... Tren. And I might throw some Var on this... and I just realized I’m not really cruising anymore with a gram of gear a week in me. So That’s cool, I’ll smack out the mini cycle for a
minute, but at some point that will end...

So what I really want to discuss here is what everyone’s optimal cruise/HRT compounds and doseages are.

I forgot gh and slin..love slin on low doses for full look..absolutely great it how I feel, libido and no sides..my joints feel good..
Keep it mind the transition from the blast for awhile will keep you depressed a bit and workouts are not greatest at first..

What slin are you running and at what dosages? Every day?

[wavefunction]

20mg Cardarine

GW501516 (also known as GW-501,516, GW1516, GSK-516, Cardarine, and on the black market as Endurobol) is a PPARδ receptor agonist that was invented in a collaboration between Ligand Pharmaceuticals and GlaxoSmithKline in the 1990s, was entered into clinical development as a drug candidate for metabolic diseases and cardiovascular diseases, and was abandoned in 2007 because animal testing showed that the drug caused cancer to develop rapidly in several organs.

Why, why, why would you take that?

What do you notice from Tren at 30-50mg? Does that combination hold muscle well? Overall feeling of well being? It seems like something you dialed in over time

Helps getting over plateaus with adding some androgen load since rest of the HRT is just anabolics.

It is also helpful for priming prior to a boat as well as recomp

Almost exactly what I am now - add 50mg more test and 10mg var/day and yep.

[< <Samson> >]

Best? If I stop thinking about long term health, 100-200mg Tren E + 300mg of Test + 25-50mg daily Var + maybe 50mg a day of Proviron , alongside 250-500iu a week of HCG

How’s this Work out for you?

[Proximal]

Gentlemen, I love everything above & will be going similar routes. I know it’s an elementary question, but do you worry about estrogen levels? Do you take nolvadex as a precaution? TY.

I don’t personally, but I’m not estrogen sensitive either

[< <Samson> >]

and if you were thinking about long term health?

What I’m doing now,

Test - it’s best

And, adding in mild shit for short bursts(a month at a time) - Var, Prov, maybe some dBol - at 25-50mg or so a day

I have little estrogen issues..no gyno and only flare ups are deca and tren together..
ALWAYS have nolva on hand


“The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing” Socrates

[Windex]

I'm working on an Anavar script then I don't think i'll need to blast. Maybe with Tren base for 3-4 weeks here and there. I've found doing an upgraded cruise, using multiple compounds at low dosage have been way more beneficial than cycle/blast. A lot easier to have consistent sustainable muscle growth

[Windex]

Gentlemen, I love everything above & will be going similar routes. I know it’s an elementary question, but do you worry about estrogen levels? Do you take nolvadex as a precaution? TY.

If I was concerned I would add in 100-150mg of Masteron per week before Tamoxifen . At a low dose of Test, there shouldn't be any estrogen concerns.

Trest as in MENT?

[m314]

Trest as in MENT?

Yeah. It has been my favorite compound since I first tried it in 2016. I run it at 20 - 25 mg/day on blasts and drop to 10 mg/day on cruises. It keeps me full and strong, gives me tons of energy in the gym, and gives me the sex drive I had 30 years ago (I'm mid 40s now). It has no negative effects on my bloodwork or blood pressure at 10 mg/day.

[< <Samson> >]

^ I might have to look into this

Haven’t heard much about it at all

If you’re in anyway Gyno prone, MENT is probably not for you.

[m314]

If you’re in anyway Gyno prone, MENT is probably not for you.

I've read that some guys run ralox or nolva to prevent gyno on cycle. Low dose exemestane is enough for me at 25 mg/day trestolone acetate. I don't need an AI at all with 10 mg/day trest along with low dose test.

[GearHeaded]

one of the main purposes of coming off a blast and cruising is to down regulate your androgen and estrogen load. give your body a break from the constant elevation of these. so cruising on something like 500mg of test is not ideal (its adding lots of estrogen and androgen load). neither is cruising on test and then adding in Dbol .

an ideal cruise to allow androgen levels and estrogen levels to down regulate and fall off a little bit while maintaining anabolic load is something like Primobolan or EQ.
150mg test
300mg primobolan
is just about right for most of us.

depending on your situation in your cruise, adding in secondary growth factors that are not androgenic or estrogenic can be of benefit .. like HGH, Mk677, IGF, Clen , T4, insulin . you can continue to grow well and add muscle with these things even though your 'off cycle'.. of course yes while on cycle when your androgen and estrogen load are both very high your going to grow better as well as get the cosmetic effects.

in regards to cruising on deca . yes its a pure anabolic, its going to help you hold onto and build muscle without providing androgen load or converting to a ton of estrogen . but its a progestin , so its going to act on progestin receptors and keep you constantly sensitized to estrogen. thats not good nor bad per se , its person dependent. if your sensitive to estrogen and progestin/prolactin, then it may not be a good idea to cruise on deca year round. if your not sensitive and you get good joint support and anti inflammation benefits from it , then great.
but in general, cruising on 19 nors year round is not as ideal as cruising on Primo


another thought .. theres a difference between a 'cruise' and a 'bridge' . a cruise is meant to be 'off cycle' and give your body a break from the androgen load for awhile, where as a 'bridge' is a transition phase from one blast to the next blast.
so in a bridge, lets say you been bulking for 12 weeks and your insulin sensitivity is now low , you need to mini cut for 6 weeks. well in that mini cut you may want to bridge with some low dose cutting compounds before you next bulking blast.
like
200mg test
400mg primo
30mg var a day
60mcg clen

thats basically a small cycle. its just holding you over for the mini cut 'bridge' .. where as with a cruise you want to run low doses and give your body as much as a break as possible . imo nothing gives your body the most amount of break, yet while still maintaining great level of anabolism, then Primo

[C27H40O3]

My HRT is 200 mg Test C per week, cut into two doses. 50 mg Proviron daily, and 200iu hCG about two times a week. My Test number from bloodwork is too high (1875), but I feel great, and I had to get an old girlfriend back into the rotation because my lady cant take all the pounding I need to do now. I'm 55 and I am hitting more ass than a toilet seat.

I do have to say that cruising on primo left me way better off than my old test cruise only did. I’m a big fan of primo.

How so?


I can get it, but it's not super cheap - I just don't see it, I can cruise on tren e at 1/3rd the dose & a quarter of the cost



Maybe long term health?


The ol' Arnold supposedly loved Primo

Extenuating circumstances are what really made it shine for me. I was was cruising in it when was sick for a couple months between an Upper respiratory infection, the flu, and walking pneumonia. As you can imagine the gym took a hard back seat for a minute. Even eating like shit and not working out much, it kept me full, preserved a lot more lean tissue that test alone would have. As a result all I kept a lot more muscle than I would have, and really just lost a bunch of fat. Unlike how Tren tends to flatten you out, primo seems to keep you very full.

also it doesn’t feel like you’re on anything. I’m on 100mg of Tren Ace EOD now, along with 400mg of primo a week, and 250mg of deca and test, and I’m still rather full, where as normally Tren has a tendency to make me flat when I’m not over carbing

[Windex]

EQ is a budget alternative to Primo so long as your CBC panel isn't drastically affected. Something like 200mg/week of EQ shouldn't be making blood values go haywire. Could even get Vet Grade EQ and still be cheaper.

Anavar is another option at say 10-20mg/day.

Ronnie was another big fan of Primo just like Arnold.

[< <Samson> >]

What’s the least amount of primo worth taking?

I liked my daily Var, at even a low mg

I liked deca too at a therapeutic dose(100-200mg a week) < I did this a few times when my joints were aching - shit really does help
