Hey everyone, been lurking around for a while, and soaking up everything I can. Of all the forums, this and one other seem to be the most rational and fair minded on here so I look forward to sharing my experiences.
I'm 29 - 6'1" and been bodybuilding for 5 years. I started as a skinny 147lbs twig at 15-16% bf and now at 190-192lbs and 14-15% bf.
First 3 years I bulked up to 179lbs and 15-16% bf. Hit a wall, and began a slow decline to 170-172, my heavy compound lifts dropped 20-30 pounds as well.
After a year not making progress and trying different diets, I went to a TRT clinic. Got my hormones checked, and my T levels were in the mid 300s.
I started TRT January of 2017 at 150mg per week, gained 10lbs in 6 months, and got my lifts back to where I was before the decline. I also feel better than ever.
From June to August I leveled off at 180-182lbs and 15% bf. I started a 10 week ostarine cycle in late August and gained another 8-10lbs. Been hovering at 190-192lbs and 14-15% bf since October.
My current TRT dose is 175 mg per week and it looks like I'm going to stay here since my last two blood works over the last 6 months showed the best results at 175 mg per week.
I'll be fully dialed in next month, from there all my bloods will be taken every six months. So, you know where I'm going with this. I want to blast. And have been patiently putting my work in and waiting to be fully dialed in my TRT.
First Cycle Options
Option 1: 500mg Test Cyp for 10-15 weeks
Option 2: 500mg Test Cyp for 10-15 weeks and 25mg dbol per day first 6 weeks
12.5mg aromasin or .25 mg adex will be taken 2-3 times a week and will adjust after week 6 bloodwork
After the cycle, I will cruise at my 175mg TRT dose.
Questions
1) Most people seem to gain about 20lbs off their first 500mg test cycle. Can I expect the same results having been on 175mg TRT for a year and gaining 10lbs off that, plus gaining an additional 8-10lbs off a 10 week ostarine cycle just a few months ago?
2) Given my TRT and Sarm gains, would it be beneficial to add 25mg dbol per day to my first 500mg test cycle for the first 6 weeks, or strictly do 500mg test like most recommended first cycles?
3) For the first 6-8 weeks, would it be wise to do 125-175mg Test Cyp on top of my 175mg TRT Dose for a total of 300-350mg per week. And then increase to 500mg total per week for the final 6-8 weeks?
