test e recomp

[GearHeaded]

Recomp is very very dependent on diet strategy. if you get that wrong you simply won't recomp properly . however, the right "drug cocktail" and drug strategies employed can make a very big difference as well.

but no doubt, if you got the right diet in place you can recomp with just testosterone at supraphysioligcal levels


however , eating at maintenance, training at maintenance, and taking a maintenance dose of test will leave your physique at , guess what , maintenance

Im just wrapping up a test e only cycle and got away with a pretty decent recomp. Havent gone back for a bf% to provide exact numbers but the evidence is in the mirror and how my clothes fit. I ate for the most part at a 500cal deficit and train hard af 6x a week. Probably would have better results if I had better sleep but Im averaging about 4-6 hours a night.

Hmmm... seems kinda high fir a recomp... I was under the impression that if you wanted to recomp on aas you should stay at a trt-ish dose . Can anyone chime in?

500mg per week is NOT very high at all , its quite low. its a cruise dosage. (it does however work as a 'cycle' for new users). you wouldn't want to recomp using only a trt dose of gear. all trt dose does is provide you with normal ranges (just like a natty) of test,, you need to be in supraphysiolgical ranges to upregulate protein synthesis, nitrogen retention, and other anabolic traits. trt dose does not do this.
especially for recomp being your calories are going to be at maintenance or below. you can chance losing muscle if your dosage is too low. you need the positive nutrient partitioning that come from higher dosages.

yeah but I've seen people take 250mg of test a week and literally have test levels of 1500-2000

Any gain in muscle vs lbs of bodyfat loss?

Any gain in muscle vs lbs of bodyfat loss?

Definitely, mostly in my lagging body parts from prior to my cycle... but still very noticeable muscle gain all over. Mid section fat has gone down drastically... no more nasty spare tire. Just super satisfied overall..

Id say dismiss all doubt and negativity from your thoughts, be consistent with your training and clean eating, hydrate and work hard af... itll be impossible to not be happy with your results

yeah but wouldn't a recomp involve eating at maintenance since your trying to build muscle and lose fat at the same time. I mean I have done this naturally before; just wondering how it would work if you use test.

It's still dependent on diet and sleep first, training second, and gear last. People that transition into TRT coming from low Testosterone are going to have artificially inflated results. I only recomp, never cut/bulk yo-yo and I never eat at maintenance.

There are a lot better compound options than just Test for recomp goals.
