Started 12 Week Blast today - Log

[ripped_82]

Gentleman - I thought I'd start a log regarding my 12 week Test-C blast. I will update this log once a week at a minimum for those that are interested in my progress. I'm currently on 80mg/week Test-C, and 700IU of HCG /week with no AI.

As some of you know, I lowered my dose from 100mg/week of Test to 80mg/week, and results have been great in terms of well being/libido. At the 100mg dosage split @ 3.5 days, and 100IU of HCG/day, my Total T comes in at 778 with Total E at 27 (blood work 72 hours post injection). I have no idea what my blood work is at using the 80mg/week dose split @ 3.5 days, but I've been feeling great (better libido, nips less puffy).

Although this is a very light blast, I'm doing it as I've had good results with low dose cycles in the past. Plan is:

1) 200mg Test/week split every 3.5days
2) 80iu HCG/day
3) 20mg Nolvadex /day
4) No AI
5) Stats are 32yrs old, 6'1 height, 207lbs, 13.5%BF

My thinking with the above is that I should get my Total T around 1500, which will improve my recovery time, muscle building/anti catabolism given that I'm dieting. The reason for no AI is my thought is that my Total E should be around 50-55 given previous blood work. I'm running the Nolvadex since I am prone to puffy nips/gyno since I developed lumps during puberty. I feel the Total E @ 50-55 is still within the range, and it's always best to avoid an AI if possible. I need Nolvadex since even when I was at 100mg/week (Total E @ 27) nips got puffy, so 200mg/week will really cause nip/gyno issues in my case.

I'd like to hear your feedback regarding the above, especially my thinking with the no AI / Nolvadex given my blood work reference and where I believe my Estrogen should be around.

Thanks in advance for your comments

Post it here ripped MEMBER'S CYCLE RESULTS this is the HRT section. Some one will move it for you.

I should mention that my desired results with the above are to have a 10% strength increase, drop to 195lbs, with 8%bf.

My diet is in check of course as an FYI, so no worries there.

My apologies on the wrong section as I thought that the TRT folks would be interested given that it's a blast related to a TRT patient. Sorry for posting in the wrong section if that is the case

Ripped.

I'm very interested in this as I was considering a similar blast around the first of the year. What are your diet macros?

Thanks!

No AI??? Should run an AI from the start...

I've come to learn my body rather well in terms of "rapid weight loss", so for me it's more important to watch my intake after 6:00pm. I want to emphasize the time as I don't consume any solid food post 6:00pm (may run a little late depending on work etc).

Meal #1 is 500 cals, 35grm Protein, 33grm complex carbs, all good fats

Meal #2 is 650 cals, 40grm Protein, 36grm mid glycemic carbs, all good fat

Meal #3 is 500 cals, 35grm Protein, 33grm complex carbs, all good fats

Meal #4 is 650 cals, 40grm Protein, 36grm mid glycemic carbs, all good fat

Meal #5 is 285 cals, 55grm Protein, 8grm carbs, 1-2grm fat

Call it 2600 Cals / 205grm Protein / 146grm carbs (non workout day), and Cals slightly decrease on workout day as I have a PW shake that is less cal, more protein, and higher carbs to spike the insulin . So my meal #4 is generally consumed no later than 6:00pm

I appreciate your reply, but can you elaborate why I should run an AI given my assumption of being at a range of 50-55 Total E? What are you concerns with the range I mentioned justifying the need for an AI?

Also, I'd appreciate/welcome the feedback of a vet as it relates to my linear thinking as to where my Total E will sit given the blood work I mentioned on the 100mg dose. And of course feedback if the range of 50-55 is a concern

Thanks

I'm also going to post this in the MEMBER'S CYCLE RESULTS , so a mod can feel free to delete this thread as I think I'll get more feedback there

i like the idea of a low dose blast!

what kind of results would 200mg/wk give you vs a 4~500mg/wk cycle aside from the guaranteed ai on the higher dose?

I can't compare as I've stayed around the 300mg/week dose with nice results when doing a serious cut. This time around I was going to go down to 200mg to see if I could avoid an AI, but I'm being advised against that.

What I now plan on doing is adding Adex @ 0.25mg X 2/week on injection days. Given the increased dosage, I may end up at the 300mg/week dose I've traditionally done.

What I may do is run the 200mg/week for 8 weeks, and up to 300mg/week for the last 4 weeks if I plateau or simply don't see the desired results @ 200mg/week. Again, my emphasis here is on prevent muscle loss during a serious cut that I'm doing, while increasing strength/muscle hardness.
