I told you 500mg a week of test. Start doing 500mg a week now, dont "taper up" I dont know what you think the benefit of an adjustment period is. Drop the EQ in my opinion. Ive never tried it but everything I have read about it is worthless and needs to be run at a VERY HIGH dose, like 800mg per week. It is not as anabolic as you think and is completely different than test, like I was trying to tell you before. Water retention is dictated by your AI, water intake, and diet so if that is in check you dont have to worry too much about the temporary water retention

Sorry if you dont like my answers, but I am willing to bet all the other people you are waiting on to respond will echo the same things im saying.

Good luck
