I have personally considered some ill-advised cycles before as well, including deca-only. I can see where you are coming from wanting to minimize side effects. Just keep in mind the main risk you are taking with deca is very strong shutdown and uncertain recovery after the cycle. Many...

I agree as well. You never know what kind of physical/mental sides you are going to have. Enjoy your spring break. It would be good to get a week off heavy training right before starting your cycle imo. You'll have something to look forward to right after you get back and you will have given...

I'd probably start 2-3 weeks into the cycle and run it via swale's protocol. I don' t know any better suggestion. Some start as late as week 5-6, some as early as week 1-2. Just use your best judgement.

For a short cycle like this one you could just go with nolvadex. Arimidex dosing is a bit lower (and sometimes like EOD or E3D due to the longer half life). That ends up saving money/being more efficient. Nolva may completely prevent gyno anyhow so you are probably fine with just it. In that...

1a) I'd suggest taking arimidex or maybe even letrozole throughout the cycle (some Aromatase inhibitor (AI) anyhow) to prevent gyno. Keep nolvadex onhand if gyno starts to crop up anyway. Then dose it really high (like 80mg ED for the first few days) to try to make sure the gyno goes away or...

OP, I'd also say put it at the end of your cycle. 6-8 weeks is perfect. That said, why not cut to below 15% before starting a bulker. Run a prop/tren cutter for 6-8 weeks. I think you'd be happier with the results if you cut first then bulk. Going straight into a 800mg Test/week bulker...

I think you can make some pretty good prop using a mix of ethyl oleate and oil rather than just straight oil. Tons of people find prop painful Anyone remember/use QV prop. Notorious for pain. Then you viromone which is notorious for no pain. It is all in how it is made. Sometimes it is...

Typically if it is literally a chest infection (diagnosed by a doc...not just having chest congestion), I'd stop working out at least for a week. But if it is mainly in your sinuses (head cold for example), I'd keep going with the workouts. In any event you can add my vote for not stopping the...

I'd probably be looking at EQ or I'd do a month long oral cycle of something.

Why not just go with test enanthate or cyp rather than the slightly longer ester of test? Or extend your cycle to at least 12-14 weeks to take into account the longer half life of decanoate. You also didn't make it clear when you ran the tren (throughout I suppose?). If I had tren acetate...

Remember to take into account how much active hormone you get from the longer ester. @ 200mg E3D, you'll be using much less than you have in the past. Nothing wrong with that at all, just making sure you knew that.

@ 400mg EW alone, I am going to experiment with this as a bulker/recomp drug. Specifically I am curious how high I can take the calories sans gaining fat and whether it is even remotely possible to give a recomp effect at high calories. I'll have pics, but given that it would be me you are...

I am not sure I like the alternating short cycles idea. I think you could get away with running the acetate ester for 8 weeks, followed by something milder or by pct. As a matter of principle it might be a good idea to give the body more of a break from tren than you have planned.

I think about 320 mg every week of Tren E would equal 75mg EOD of Tren A taking into account esters and such. I was using 83/100 for the Acetate and 68/100 for the Enanthate So (75mg * 3.5 shots a week * 83) / 68 gives about 320. You can run it all the way through 12 weeks. Some people...

I am probably lucky that I have never been super muscular. Apparently people seem to think I look best at a fat 230 (15%+ bf). If I get down to 210, it doesn't matter how lean I am. With clothes on I look like a walking stick (I am 6'2"). No wonder I never got anything at 185 lbs, hehe...
