Look you seem like a nice humble guy, but you and I live in two completely different worlds. I live in the entertainment business where I’m selling my face and body, both of which must be perfect. I want to have that most aesthetic face possible with the best body. I work modeling and OF
Unlike you I can’t do the sam sulek deal of putting my head down in a hoodie and baggy pants while bulking and lifting. I need to be 6’0 210 single digit bodyfat. Is high test necessary for that or not? But I can accept being smaller as some “roles” require me to be more of a taking. Taking “water” or “candy rain” bent over
Don't get me wrong either, I'm all about doing things more moderately now. If you dig my older posts, then yes I used to do 600-1000mg Testosterone and orals like dbol and/or high dose anavar with Equipoise. Strength gains and size were phenomenal. I loved it back then.
Now, I use 30% for my mini blasts. I don't go over 600mg of combined stuff anymore. So, it's not like I don't give a shit and abuse steroids.
What can I advise you, given your goals to look hard and lean, is to limit your Testosterone to 200-300mg/weekly, no matter the ester. Pick one dose and stick to it, I like 250mg per week on a cruise for example, I look leaner and more athletic without any significant changes in my body fat %. People then say wtf am I taking, I say dudes I actually weight a bit less now. It's all about visuals. Compared to 500mg I look a lot better, less massive and overall presence is not as intimidating to non fitness people.
I like eq for that cosmetic effect, but it doesn't look natural. Primo gives me more fullness, but quality not bloat and more acne for some reason. Anavar possibly being the best out of all, but since it's oral you it's not sustainable look long term.
So if I were in your shoes or role, I would do the following cycle:
1.Testosterone 250mg (however long bloods allow, I cruise on it so for me indefinitely)
2. Anavar 30mg (4-6 weeks, depends on blood work)
AI as needed, since Anavar is dht I would need quite a bit less than usually.
P.S. given this, I know my body very well being in my 6th year since starting this enhanced lifestyle. Your mileage might vary and as always everybody's different.
