Hello everyone,
I'm excited to join this community and look forward to both sharing my journey and learning from all of you. A bit about myself: I'm a 44-year-old male, standing at 6 feet tall, weighing 210 lbs with approximately 15% body fat. I have been on TRT (240 /week) for several years.
In shaping my 12-month transformation strategy, I'm targeting a dual-phased approach to align with the seasons, optimizing for a leaner physique during the summer months and focusing on bulking during the winter. My summer goal is to sculpt my body down to around 10% body fat, emphasizing definition and vascularity. Concurrently, I aim to increase my muscle mass by approximately 10 lbs, striking a balance between lean muscle gains and maintaining a trimmer waistline.
Currently, I am three weeks into my first advanced cycle and have been motivated by the positive outcomes so far. This plan is a careful calibration to not only meet the aesthetic benchmarks I've set for myself but also to ensure that I am able to transition into a bulk effectively as the colder months set in, which will involve a tailored increase in caloric intake and adjusted supplement regimen to support mass gains.
This cyclical approach is designed to be responsive to the changing needs of my body throughout the year, with the understanding that goals are dynamic and the methods to achieve them must be adaptable.
Current Regimen: (3 weeks in)
Thank you in advance for your support and guidance

Current Regimen: (3 weeks in)
- Testosterone: 440 mg weekly
- Anavar: 20 mg daily
- HCG: 25 units weekly
- January to March: Discontinue Anavar and introduce a peptide (CJ-1295), maintaining 440 mg of testosterone and 25 units of HCG weekly.
- April to June: Resume Anavar and cease peptides, continuing the current cycle.
- October to December: Drop Anavar and implement a Deca cycle for additional bulking.
- Is it advisable to maintain my testosterone at 440 mg weekly, or should I consider lowering the dose during certain periods or PCT (Post Cycle Therapy)?
- Am I engaging in an effective PCT strategy? I am looking for Harm reduction. I am fine being on Test for life… trying to dial in the right balance to provide breaks for my body.
- Is my HCG dosage sufficient?
- Should there be a specific ratio of HCG to testosterone that I need to follow, or is the dosing more subjective and tailored to individual response?
Thank you in advance for your support and guidance
