Howdy y’all! Just a quick update 2 weeks out after discontinuing the tren.
Definitely lost some but bubbly muscle hardness/fullness, but the look is cleaner now. Extra water is fully cleared- was about 254lbs before the cycle and jumped to 260-261 through the cycle despite continuing my same defecit and increasing training volume. This week weight is clustering just under 250 in the 249 area. Anchor lifts are still holding- not losing strength but didn’t noticeably gain any on the tren cycle.
Waiting about 4 more weeks to get a full blood panel- dropped the 80mg deca/week two weeks ago and dropped the 150mg mast too- Monday was the last mastP pin.
Still on 300-350 Test/week with 75 aromasin but about to drop back under 200 and pin the test Cyp Tuesday/Friday instead of 3x/week. Should be in the low 15% fat range now so anticipating low or no AI on true TRT- when I was fat and doing clinic 1x/week 190mg pins I was on .5 anastrozole which was a stable low 30s e2, and while cutting the stack plus 25x3 (MWF, 75/week total) aromasin was 20 e2. Gonna give TRT with no AI a month to settle and see what the bloods say. I’m comfy from 20-60 e2, with nips getting spicy in the low 90s, so I’d rather let it climb and react if I feel high symptoms than overdo AI and crush it. Flying blind for a bit though.
On the fat loss the last stubborn spots- titties and lovehandles- are really starting to meaningfully deflate and already decently lean extremities are getting definition and vascularity. Feeling pretty great and enjoying the end of the cut, looking forward to bringing food back in and raising TDEE when I get close to 12%.
Finishing the cut will be based on dexa numbers for bodyfat but calling it done for now will be more of a decision based on wanting to be as lean as possible balanced with extra skin starting to look worse not better after a tipping point of leanness. I’d like to see top 4 abs in the mirror when I wake up and brush my teeth.
