Diet consists primarily of high protein, fair carbs, very low fats. Lots of chicken, tuna, egg whites, veggies, brown rice, protein shakes, etc.
I have used Test (Cypionate not Enanthate) by itself at 500mg a week x 12 weeks (first cycle 6 months ago).
Goal: To gain a little bit more muscle (not a lot) but be able to retain most of my gains.
I just did my second shot of a new cycle, prescribed and under MD supervision, of Test Enanthate at 220mg/ml per week. When I used Test Cypionate I gained a good amount of muscle weight (water) but lost most of it when I finished the cycle. I want to be able to retain muscle gained a bit more than I did the last time. So my three questions are:
1- What is the best gear, combined with Test Enanthate, to retain most of the gains? Anabar, Winstrol, other? Not looking for huge bulking then losing it all, instead looking for mild gains that will stay after cycle. If possible, gear that is less damaging to the liver and/or other organs.
2- Is Test Enanthate at 220mg a week (combined with something else) enough, or should I up the dose, and f so, up to what?
3- If you make a recommendation, could you please (very briefly if you want) indicate what, what dose, when to start/stop within the current Test cycle?
My MD is a young, cool guy, whom I told my intentions to possibly up my Test dose or add gear to it. He understands my right to chose what I do with myself.
Any and all advice is welcome. In advance, I sincerely thank you for any help you may be able to offer me.
