long, low dosed, test cycle

[nii]

Just posting my experience with a long low dosed test bulking cycle (my first cycle). Hoping maybe this can be useful to someone else thinking about doing it.

I originally planned to do a 25-30 week low dosed cycle(250mg test EW). My thinking was, why not take the dose of a typical cycle (500mg test 15wks) and spread it over a longer period of time. As you can tell, I had no clue what I was doing. I honestly tried doing as much preparation as possible, but clearly not enough. Truth is, I was freaken amazed by gsxr’s progress and it inspired me. I didn’t realize the implications of TRT.

Results were almost as expected, slow and steady, but doesn’t even compare to being natural. The reason I upped the dose at the end (wk 16) was because for some reason the gains started slowing down dramatically. I wont get into lbs gained cause I personally think its useless (unless u have a damn good BF gauge) and pics are a much better tool. Too bad im a pussy and don’t wanna post pics lol. The sides were very minimal for me, to be honest, if I wasn’t going to the gym, I wouldn’t know I was on test. Didn’t feel ‘amazing’ or ‘on top of the world’, wasn’t a walking erection, had zero effect on libido and zero effect on aggression. Only side I got was acne on my chest.

Things I learned from this cycle: never do a long low dosed cycle again. Should have listened to Praetorian’s advice. If youre gonna run a cycle, do a min of 500mgs for a max of 16 weeks. Anything lower or longer, the sides outway the benefit. I’ll stay away from orals, theyre just not worth the price I find. I hope that ill be able to recover decently because of my age and cycle experience. If anyone wants to give me some advice on my PCT im all ears, I really have very little experience with it.

Thanks to Praetorian, Gustavo, gsxr, Drummer and Geo for all the solid advice (I know there are more but I have a shit memory).


Week 1-15 250mg test e EW HCG 500iu EW
Week 16-21 500mgs test e EW Anavar 80mgs ED

PCT
Week 22 Nothing
Week 23-24 HCG 500iu E2D ( so that’s 3500iu over the 2 weeks) Aromasin 12.5mgED
Week 25-26 Nolva 10mgs ED Aromasin 12.5mgED


Age: 24
First cycle
Oct 1 is the start of WK22 for me

2 weeks after last shot (HCG during those 2 weeks)
clomid 100mg ED for a week followed by 3 weeks at 50mg ED
aromasin 25mg ED for 5 weeks

assuming your on Test E/C, HCG 5000iu during week 22-23

this worked really good for me (25 weeks cycle 750mg taper down to 250mg the last few weeks)

Glad to be of help nii. Your PCT looks fine...its debatable whether 500iu will be enough to sensitize you to LH but being that your young and the dosage was relatively low its worth a try. The aromasin doage is perfect. I would suggest clomid over nolva as it has a more direct affect on the pituitary...use 50mg twice daily for 3 weeks...start after finishing the HCG.
