What's the largest test only cycle you ran, and what were your results?

[JoeTrogan]

I'm curious what the highest test only cycle people have ran here, for how long, and what y'all's results looked like.

I searched the forum but didn't see any topic dedicated to this, and since I've seen a lot of people pushing it as one of the best options as of late in terms of balance between gains and health, it'd be nice to have some data in one place!

Why do you not think it's good?

I’ve only ran 500mg pw for my first blast 2 years ago and have never gone beyond that. I went the direction of adding in other compounds in smaller dosages to reach a greater total dosage — first primo, then mast, then mast/npp.

I made great gains on that first cycle, but also had 10+ yrs training and diet under my belt. I think most people could stick to 500-1000mg their entire juice journey and build a great physique with E2 dialed in. I just like the look I get from DHTs and so far have loved the addition of npp.

250-750 is what I have run for the last two years. I’ve put on 30lbs at the end of cuts. I will usually fill the rest of gear with other compounds.
Personally I don’t see the point in running test only except for health phases and trt.
This time i will run more than 750 so i will see if it’s worth it or not. Im gonna guess it will be more muscle though because why wouldn’t it be lmao.
I can’t say how many weeks because I titrate up and down. Maybe 16 weeks though in a surplus at 750 test, not counting other injectable anabolics added here and there

always bloat regardless of leanless or estrogen. i think there is diminishing returns just using more of one compound.

 

[Thatguyfromoverthere]

A couple decades ago I ran 2g/week. I made it 10 weeks before the nosebleeds really began to scare me and haven’t gone above 750/week since

I will say it was about the best I’d ever looked besides my tren/superdrol/gh/slin period

I've always ran high test with another compound but I've gone up to 2 grams for awhile, I honestly can't say if there was any difference between 1500-2000 but I do think more was better until around 1250-1500 its just so hard to quantify. I'm a low aromotizer so I didn't use an AI.

When ur low a aromatizer/tolerate compounds well I swear it's hard to resist the temptation to not raise the doses.

For sure the only downside is eq / primo I have to run a lot lower or my E2 goes into the gutter, sometime's I pop dbol just to get my estrogen back in range.

Exactly, I was on 720mg test/600mg mast e. I know mast doesn't lower serum levels but I actually have bloodwork proof that shit tanked my e2. E2 was at 25pg after taking out HCG.

Tried a gram per week before and then realised that I have no business ever running such a high amount and then I reverted to 500mg a week for a blast. I’ve been cruising now for months, maybe even over a year.

 

[Banana Joe]

I have never done more than 350mg of just test, LOL. But sometimes I dream of running grams of just test, train my ass off, shovel food like when I was a teenager, while growing like crazy.
Then I wake up, realise that I am 40, and chronically injured at this point.

I spent years using test at 500-600mg and then using lots of other anabolics.

Last year I was convinced to experiment with running test at higher doses (1-1.5g) and using anabolics in 2-300mg ranges.

Look ain't necessarily as pretty, especially if you're used to low test and lots of DHTs. However progress in the gym is night and day. Feels better too.

Definitely a high test convert now.

 

[Drtonybig]

Im currently on my highest cycle i ever tried.
1.5 test
600 eq
150 eod npp

Do you guys bulk or try to recomp when taking these insane doses. Cuz I can imagine u can just build muscle with eating barley anything. Ofc if it’s your highest dose which means you respond better with a new stimulus/record high dose. Also depends on how many yrs you’ve lifted,

Personally bulk

Man… u did a full 180 lol. Some of your high test arguments from back in the day is what got me up to a gram of test today. But I am a lower aromatizer and keep pretty dry on a gram. With .5mg adex M/W/F of course

yeah i recant my previous statements.
unavoidable water retention in the face and other areas.

no bloat face = no progress tbh

you won't bloat up on mast and you won't gain shit on it either
gh is the worst offender
