Question on upping cycle mid way?

[BBrownOrphen]

Ok, so I have been running a low dose of test e 300mg weekly for 9 weeks. I planned on going off after 12 so I can start my next cycle with more for better gains. So my question is since I have been running a low dose of test e can I at 10 weeks up it to 250mg Monday/ Thursday for a total of 500 weekly for another 10 weeks to get more growth? Or should I be smart and stop at 12 do my PCT and then start back up with more? Complete noob to this shit so I would rather ask.

You will get more answers and this is my two cents and I have only run 1 15 week cycle this far and have been cruising since. My thoughts are finish off the 12 weeks, PCT as you planned. Take the time off to plan you next cycle. Once you have recovered and ready to go then go with the higher planned dosage of 500.

I don't think you'd have time to get anything extra in 3 weeks, you'd have to run a really short ester and even then extend the cycle. I've seen plenty of cycles include bumps in the middle but they were planned. I'd personally finish the cycle as is then just plan another.

Always keep your body guessing, blast the fuck out of it

What I meant was increasing the cycle to 20 weeks with last 11 weeks at 500. If it isnt smart I will jus do as recommended and end it as planned and run second cycle heavier.

Let’s start with your stats, is this your first cycle, how old are you. Answers to these will help us answer you.

I am assuming your younger, this is your first cycle. This is just an assumption though. That said give your body a break, restore your HPTA and then blast off once your ready. Note make sure all need hormone and ancillary are on hand before blasting.

35 , 195#. First cycle in 15 years yes. I got nolva and adex on hand. I planned next cycle going 16 weeks test e. 250mg Mont/Thursday. Dbol daily 50mg split into 25 / 25 , 4 weeks at start with .5 adex eod. Am just wanting more gains. Why I was here wondering if I can push to 20 week cycle now with last 11 weeks at 500. Then post for 12 weeks before going with above cycle. Currently am just pinning 300mg weekly on Mondays.

If that’s confusing sorry late night!

All good no worries. Basically you can extend it if you want. I am just saying what I would do but it is always your call, to me 20 weeks is a long run.

What type of gains have you seen in 9 weeks on 300 per week? Another thing I would look at if gains aren’t great is your diet and programming, without them spot on the gear won’t perform as you wanted. Second thing would be is the gear dosed right?

Lots of questions and things to consider

Doubled weight wise just cut back due to tendon pain. Increased gym time from a weekend warrior to 4 days a week about a month before i started 300mg weekly. The brand is top notch dont want to break any rules so i wont say what just that it is one of the most counterfeited brands but all the research i have done appears its legit. Diet I get 150 grams protein daily i know its supposed to be 1/1 ration to weight but im hoping to lose some of this belly fat. Running a calorie deficit trying to slim. I just know running cycles in the past off Deca i went from Steve Rogers to Captain America in about 15 weeks. Very noticeable, now not so much just stronger. Have not done bloods but I was tested low T several years ago but getting test from prescription was a pain in the ass required alot of visits and insurance bitching. So i gave it up.

Other than strength I have received no noticeable gains. Cant tell I even started anything. Since I have started I have maintained at the least the diet I listed above.

How many calories you eating per day?

I guessed your height at 5 foot 11 and maintenance with 3-5 days in the gym is just over 3000. You won't grow or shouldn't grow keeping cals down. Your strength may go up but not size. Eat to grow as they say. I think that's why you aren't seeing what you want to see.

I tried recomp in the past and found I would just spin my wheels. It appears to be happening to you.

If you want my personal opinion. Finish this run at 300 and work on burning fat and keeping strength and current size. PCT and recover then blast as you want but make sure to keep cals up. 3250 to 3500 and check it every couple weeks as you grow your calories will need to come up. I found out on my last blast I dropped weight at 3500 once I got bigger. I finished my blast just over 4000 a day.

That’s exactly what I will do then. It gives me time to run all the numbers and plan my meals. Greatly appreciate the advice.

On a side note. Got some serious PiP and a small knot at injection site. Only difference I can think is I worked glutes and hams hard yesterday since I have to take Friday off. Has that happened to you before if you work the muscle your injecting into?

I only pin quads and have pinned the day before, the day of and the day after working the muscle and for me makes no difference. I get minor pip most times regardless. I dont generally get a knot unless I knicked a blood vessel or vein. The area will bruise up good and the knot goes away within a day or two. Always keep an eye on it though, not to the point you freak yourself out but for infection. They area will get red and warm to the touch, you may even start to get a fever. Even pimple looking if it abscesses. Odds are you gave yourself a bit of a hemotoma which should go away no issues. Pip is just par for the course.

I was thinking about doing this; I'm running at test e cycle; with mast and anadrol(I switch out two tabs of anadrol with winstrol 2x a week just to control water retention if I get any). My last pin is coming soon; and while I am waiting for the esters to come out I plan on running prop 50mg eod for 3 weeks(esters to clear) then I'm going straight into pct for 4-5 weeks then off for the rest of the year or say 3-4 months. Or should I just extend my test e injection to two more weeks make it 12 weeks of 250mg test e per week; then last 2-3 weeks keep running HCG keep running orals with an AI and go into PCT 2.5-3 weeks after last pin?
