500 mg test and Bloodwork

[Deleted member 2268]

How can I run 500 test for 4-5 months while maintaining decent bloodwork? I have had my cholesterol levels elevated (not sure if from diet/lifestyle or blasting) so I'm trying to maintain my health while also gaining some muscle. If I eat health, limit alcohol, etc. should I be good to run this dosage?

Make sure you stay lean and do cardio couple times a week.

How can I stay lean while bulking? How is your bloods?

Ideally you want to begin at 10-12% that would be a perfect base for bulking.

Your aromatization rate would be very low.

You could make a lot of gains while gaining a bit of body fat here and there if you're bulking.

It’s hard to separate the two even on roids, especially if you don’t want to waste your cycle, it’s good to eat in a surplus.

But if your starting point is 10-12% it won’t be detrimental to your looks or physique at all, assuming you don’t eat in a massive surplus, but something more moderate.

No clue. Inshallah it's good

But to stay lean just eat within reason and don't stuff your mouth with garbage

Forgot the name of the supplement that keeps your blood lipids in check. Either berberin or something that sounds like citron idk.
At that dose you’ll need AI and fin too, if you are worried about hairloss ofc. Have accutane on deck in case of massive acne blowouts. And if it’s a test only cycle, extend it for 6-9 months minimum

Citrus bergemot? I have already ran a 500 test cycle before. I used Dutasteride and RU58841, but I did not need an AI because I am a low aromatizer

Why 6-9 months?? The standard cycle length is 12-16 weeks

Yeah exactly. Look up the dosages on mpmd. Dut and RU are fine. How did you detect that you are a low aromatizer??

The standard cycle takes into account that you are pinning multiple substances at potentially high doses and may include orals too. You need to shorten those cycles because of the stress they put on your liver long term. But test put very minimal stress on your organs and is very well tolerated in doses double what you are taking. That’s why you can get away with insanely long test cycle that would kill you if you included tren in it. Imo it’s pretty dumb to only do 16w if it’s test only. Get some hcg and clomid to maintain testicular health tho. They will absolutely atrophy if they are left instimulated for that long

I knew I was a low aromatizer because the standard advice is to have an AI on hand and ONLY use it if you get high e2 sides such as puffy nips, etc, which I didn't on 500 mg. This is very interesting I thought test would also stress the organs as well as have effects on lipids. I will look into citrus bergamot. What body fat % do you think it is good to get down to before starting a blast cycle?

10 to 15%. 12 would be ideal. And maintain a slight caloric surplus. Test has effects on the lipids especially with high E2 it will fuck up you markers pretty well. But not nearly enough to make a long term impact if you handle it well. There is also an ancillary that can get rid of plaque formation in the arteries but forgot the name too
