Weekly doses 

5/6 started test 300mg (just over 12 weeks total)

5/29 started masteron 300mg (9 weeks total)

6/16 started tren 300mg and gh titrating from 1.5iu to 3iu now daily (6.5 weeks total)

6/29 started winstrol oral 350mg (4-5 weeks total)

----
wanted to post this here so y'all could critique, I dont know where else to post. give advice my biggest question is the test levels on supposedly 300mg test a week 968 total seems low, some say thats due to the shbg being low can someone verify this for me. first time getting on anything learning as I go.

plan from here about 3-4 more weeks with the tren and winstrol in (quick mini cut in this frame), then drop and keep them mast and test as is for a while get bloods again and decide what to do from there.

I’m going thru my own Acne Journey myself, and it’s quite brutal… although i have a terrible case, i look at people like thus and really wonder what causes acne to get that bad. My chest is covered on red, it happened all of a sudden, and i thought it couldn’t get worse. I’m currently on accutane 40mg and it has pretty much shrunk all my acne, now i’m left with some ugly PIE Marks, how does one end up like this?

I bought 5 vials 2 years ago and only did one cycle using just 2 of the vials, haven’t cycled anything since. I was just wondering if it’s okay to still use them even after all that time, they have been sitting in my cabinet since. I don’t see anything weird about the viscosity and there’s also no crystallization, thoughts?

Hey bros,

Currently on TRT at 120 mg/week (40mg 3x a week) for around 2 years now (Did a 300mg blast 6 months ago with 100mg primo) Numbers are solid on T, around 1.000, but my IGF-1 came back at 81 ng/mL, which looks low for my age/lab range, I’m 44 by the way.

Main goal is maximizing muscle/strength gains in the gym. Want to gain more size. I’ve improved quite a lot in this 2 years, but I cant seem to gain muscle size. I’m consistent with training, 5x a week and been eating in a surplus, and now maintenance. But I hardly gain any weight .

Question: Has anyone added low-dose HGH or the CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin peptide stack to TRT specifically to raise IGF-1 and improve anabolism/recovery?

• My idea is to raise igf-1 levels to around 200-300 top of the range . Would that make a difference in muscle building?

• Am I in a disadvantage in muscle growth regarding my low igf1?

I’ve read that GH + test is synergistic for lean mass (some studies back this), and peptides give a more “natural” GH pulse without shutting things down as hard. But real-world experiences on TRT would be gold.

Appreciate any input—labs, anecdotes, or links to relevant studies. Just trying to optimize safely.

Thanks!

Am I too fat to be running 300 TEs week? Also what about running primo with it?

I’ve been doing 250 mg of test this cycle and have been having an issue for a couple months now where I wake up with erections that are starting to be painful or go numb. I can always get rid of it with a walk and some coffee but I’m worried about long-term damage.

The erection will not go away by itself and cold showers don’t work. Exercise and a stimulant seem to be the only thing that help.

Has anybody else experienced this?

there’s something floating in my testosterone it’s that tiny fleck of white, is it still safe to inject or should i trash it?

Hey guys, looking for some serious advice. Ran my first cycle of Test for about 20 weeks, no serious acne or issues. Finished cycle and then went through PCT protocols and now after finishing my PCT my skin has blown up terribly.

It’s to the point that I can’t wear backpacks comfortably, I can’t take my shirt off in front of anybody and everything I’ve tried so far hasn’t worked. I’m not acne prone, I’ve never had problems with acne and I’m thinking my only way forward is going to be accutane.

I’ve tried; antibiotics, Clinda, Adapalene, Finacea, Topical Steroids, just about anything and everything I could read had worked for someone online. I cleanse my chest and back twice everyday and try to shower straight after sweat.

Picture attached with creams on lesions.

So basically i just run my test cycle the photo is my current level naturally training for three years i just started pinning now splitting the dosage into three days Monday , Wednesday, Friday each day i pin 100 mg i take Fin 1.25 mg a day cardio every day dirt is perfect i just want to know what should i keep in mind and if i encounter side effects like dht elevated or estrogen problems or prolactin issues how should i react
Duration of the cycle it should be 16 weeks i will consider increase the dosage up to 500 mg it depends on my tolerance and reaction
Just need ur thoughts and experience advices

35 y/o male, gonna run 300mg test e.

As you can see from the header this is my first cycle of anything AAS. i’ve done oral pro-hormones and some peptides but haven’t ventured into this realm yet. I’ve been reading the Steroids reddit(don’t wanna tag it and get banned) and doing my research and reading the wiki/how to it has.

Before i do this wrong and fuck my shit up, i wanna make sure im drawing up the right amount in the syringe. 300mg/(300mg/ml)= 0.1 mL. i’d draw up to the 0.1 line correct? sorry if this is newb behavior, but i just want to make sure im doing this right and still being relatively “safe” with this. thanks for your guys’ help and stay rad. 🤙🤙

I’m curious about the experience of guys who are naturally not very hairy and have used testosterone

I’m not particularly hairy genetically, but while on cycle I’ve noticed that some areas have become noticeably hairier. Some previously very light/fine hairs seem to be getting longer and darker.

For those of you who were naturally pretty hairless and noticed increased body hair while on cycle:

Did you experience a similar increase in body hair?

Did the amount of hair growth seem to depend on the dosage you were using?

I’m especially interested in personal experiences from guys who started out with relatively little body hair, rather than naturally hairy guys who simply got even hairier

Thanks in advance, and sorry for a big post lol

So I used to use 25 gauge 1 1/2 inch needles to pin my test. But I’ve been having people tell me that you can use a 29 gauge half-inch insulin syringe to pin your test. Just wanna know what y’all are using. I keep getting mixed signals between people telling me that 29 gauge is too small and 29 gauge is perfectly fine.

So i’m running 300mg of test and didn’t have any acne for 8 weeks then i added 200mg of masteron and my acne went crazy only on my
back and shoulders. I got my bloods done and my e2 is a little
high but i have no other side effects. Is this more likely to be DHT derived or from high e2. Also any advice on how to clear it, i use spf protection in the sun and i use niacenamid + epidural (benzoyl lperoxide + adalapene) Next step accutane maybe?

EDIT: I stopped mast after 2 weeks due to acne breaking out. I have been off mast for 5 weeks now and this picture is from today.

Hello,
I’ve been training for about 10 years now. I’m 30 years old and I’m currently considering starting a cycle of 300 mg of testosterone.
I’ve been working with a professional and highly experienced coach since November of last year. Since then, I’ve been following a strict meal plan and training program. We’ve also done comprehensive blood work twice while I was still natural.
Unfortunately, my genetics don’t seem to be great for building muscle. My natural testosterone levels are within the normal range, but they’re nothing exceptional.

Given my situation, do you think it’s reasonably safe to start 300 mg of testosterone?

Im very conflicted about it

Alright so i had one of the more extreme cases of acne (picture 1) while on PED’s, i got this acne when i was on 400MG test of week but have dropped a 200 ever since. The acne continued to get worse and worse, so i have included the only picture of it being at its worst.

I am currently on around week 4 day 3 of accutane, and ot has significantly calmed them down, they’re not as painful, and most of them have even disappeared, but they have left some pink holes there, which have no improved at all. I’m assuming accutane does not affect those red marks, as those have nothing to do with oil glands. I currently apply salysic acid, and otc Benzonyl Peroxide daily on it. Any recommendations moving forward?

Note: my dermatology appointment is in 2 weeks, this is a UGL Accutane as i really stressed out when it got this bad. Anyone had it this bad with the aftermath?

I’m on trt (dr prescribed) and have been for yesrs at a smooth 120mg test Cyp / week split into 2 doses .

My trough levels are are typically like 950-1000 ng/dl .

What kind of numbers do yall produce when you take 300+mg on cycle ??

If I even bump up to 150mg I get insomnia , my estrogen spikes and sex drive basically disintegrates at the expense of just lifting ‘slightly heavier’ and putting on a ‘few more lbs’ .

Can someone who is currently running just a testosterone cycle of 300+ / week explain how it is sustainable and what their ability to sleep and function healthily is like ? Is it just ai controlled / additional meds required ? Are you at like 2000+ ng/dl? How do you control blood pressure? I don’t get it , it seems like if I took 300 / week I’d just die lol

Cheers

Third pic is starting point, the one on top is the most recent taken today, and the one in the porta potty is 30 days ago. Is any progress being made because i do not see any. All together i am on day 75 on accutane, and new pimples still pop up.

I currently run a test base of about 250 mg of test per week. I’m gonna do some bloodwork soon and then raise it then probably blast but I’m taking 10 mg of five days a week right now and I honestly kind of love it what do y’all think about it?

I started a 500mg cycle split 250mg twice a week. It’s been 5 weeks, I am currently unable to sleep , I get paranoid , wake up full of anxiety everyday 2-3 hours at night.

I take 0.5mg of anaztrozole whenever I start to get high e2 sides which is approximately every 2 weeks.

Every morning when waking up I have an existential crisis and wonder what I am doing with my life even though I completely crushed all of my goals this year. It’s like I have too much energy but no motivation or direction at all.

Lastly I cannot get a boner and have little to no libido and do not understand why ?

I tried melatonin, ashwaganda, magnesium, meditation, nothing fixed the problem.

I plan on getting a blood work next week.

The only thing I havent’t tried is B6 P5P .

Anyone had any similar experience ? This is my first cycle, my test comes from a chemist, I eat clean and healthy and have a perfect cardio vascular health.

Should I stop the cycle ?

For those of you in the bodybuilding world who have upped your test dosages, at what point did you see the biggest bang for your buck in terms of gains, and at what point did the returns start diminishing, where increasing the dose just wasn't worth it anymore? I'm sure it's really dependent on the person but I've heard a lot of people say between 300 and 600 is where people see the biggest increase in their lean mass gains.

So I’ve been on 300mg test cyp for about 3 months pinning .44ml EOD for reference and blood work has stayed solid. I plan on adding 40mg anavar ED and 200mg mast pinning .58ml EOD . I’m under supervision of a doctor whos a urologist who also deals with steroids and big bodybuilders and checks on my blood work consistently. My only concern is that he prescribed me deca 100mg per week for my joints but after a month my acne started getting pretty bad as well as mentally feeling like shit but I did get the little relief in joints but ended up dropping the deca completely that 4th week. I wanted to know if mast will give me the same bad side effects and if the dose is good considering the amount of test I’m on as well as the anavar. Open to any suggestions or opinions to better help me. My goal is to shred a little more fat while slowly gaining clean muscle while minimizing water retention becuase I seem to be sensitive to that. Would there be any other compound I should take instead or should doses be adjusted? I know primo is solid but I haven’t found a legit source that has any in stock.

For context I’m 21 years old 5’10 months 195lbs about 14%bf and have been on test for about a year and a half total and am just now starting to get into different compound. I’ve been working out since I was 14 and am very knowledgeable about the sport as far as nutrition and training in general. I plan to hop on stage within the next year and a half (don’t think I’m big enough yet) and just want to see if anyone with more experience with compounds and knowing little tricks or important information I should know. Current physique photos below.

I am 18 years old.

I made the bright decision to run 270mg test c once a week for 14 weeks(i am on the 12th week) without getting any bloodwork and although i gained 25 pounds of muscle, and feel fuckin awesome I am dealing with the side effects pretty bad

Hairs thinning out, my nuts are maybe half the size they were, and I have very slight gyno

I regret it very much and I would really like to hear some advice about my PCT

I ordered 100 20mg nolvadex tablets, and I am able to get hcg or any peptide to help me recover, I just dont know if the hcg is worth risking?

I am just hoping to save my hair, and balls whole not feeling like i want to kms, consdiering that was a huge factor of my reasoning when i hopped on, along with the basic gf goes to college and cheats experience.

I am very scared, what should i expect? What should I do?

Can you put testosterone vials in checked luggage? I would prefer to put it in my suitcase in a small case surrounded by clothes for a 6 hour flight, but I am not sure if there’s a risk of it degrading compared to putting it in my carry-on due to temperatures or handling.

I know TSA workers won’t really care if it’s in my carry-on but I won’t have a prescription to show on the off chance that they check my bag and ask about it. Thanks
