I’m running an exploratory tren cycle- not for gains but to gauge my tolerance. I decided to do it now because my bloodwork is the best it’s been, and e2 is steady in the low 20s.
I’m in a long cutting phase, done mostly on trt but I have a few months on a higher cruise stack that I’m planning to stay on until the last 20-25lbs of cutting are done. 300 test, 150 mast, 80 deca, 6iu GH are the basics.
The 80 deca came in maybe a couple months ago- I have noticed some help with joints which was the point, but no strength or other effects. Still, I’ve heard using deca & tren at the same time described as driving a car by hitting the gas and the brake at the same time. The mast can only help with gyno and sides, so there’s that.
I figured that my tren experiment would make sense despite possible interference from my existing (mild) stack, but honestly the decision was influenced largely by the idea that I would probably encounter uncomfortable mental and physical sides from the tren before I even titrated up high enough to get into decent nutrient partitioning let alone see strength gains.
I planned a maximum of 4-6 weeks if no sides make me drop it, and a top dose of 300-350. I never thought I’d get to 150/week but I’m close to 300 now and starting to see glimmers of strength gains with no real sides.
Maybe the poison saturation will build and I’ll see what a bad idea it was. Maybe I’ll have a great run, then find out my bloodwork is lowkey fucked up. Really the scariest outcome would be gaining muscle, losing fat, and not experiencing much sides at all. Not trying to fall in love with tren.
All that said, even if I have a flawless run, which I still doubt will happen, I don’t think I’d plan to run both as primary mass builders at the same time. But while my current experience can be useful as an example of what could work, and might turn out a cautionary tale, I can’t say that I am experienced- just over here trying some dumb shit.
I will say that I really hope you report back after and let us all know how this worked out for you!
