3 week, pre-cycle blood work shown https://looksmax.org/threads/3-week-cycle-update-at-22.1818203/#post-25577082

5.5 weeks https://looksmax.org/threads/5-5-we...-changes-are-beginning.1850824/#post-26279531

Cycle Updated
- 325mg of Testosterone Cypionate with Grapeseed a week (SubQ, 4x a week) upped by 25mg
- 5mg of Cilias
- 25mg of Clomid EOD ( 12.5–50 mg/day or EOD) has shown it can start stimulating LH/FSH while on cycle, helping reduce the severity of suppression.)
- 350mg of L-Carnitine EOD
- Accutane 40mg
- 2.5mg Minoxidil
- 1.25mg Finasteride
- 2600 Calories a day, 200g of protein.

6'2
206 lbs (Gained around 20-25 lbs)

Fixing the siding effects from 5.5 weeks

Bloat Fixed ✅

The bloat has been completely fixed, now I do not know if this was because of me getting off Anavar and MK677, or the fact I increased injections from twice a week to 4 times a week, but I'd like to imagine it's a combination of these factors.
SubQ Injection Oil Lumps ✅
The huge welt lumps are now gone switching from T Ethanate to T Cypionate, worth the money it cost to do it.
Hormonal Acne ✅
The start of it has begun, my doctor thankfully prescribed me Accutane which I am now on day 8 of.
Oily Hair + Oily Skin ✅
Accutane will fix this eventually but for now, spamming cologne has been the go to.
Smelly and Musky :no:
Okay I used to shower every other day, but that's just not possible anymore. Even when I do shower everyday, even the little bit of sweat has a stronger smell, not like an Indian but too much imo. Showering every day helps obviously but still, one workout session and I reek.
Really Good Energy

Honestly, I'd take Test for the energy benefits alone, the drive you get and energy is pretty incredible. I came from a repressed T level of 280ng, so the energy results are very pronounced.


I've seen more progress on steroids, doing only Push/Pull 4 times a week, for 8 weeks, than I had doing 5x a week, natural, for 2 years.

You can finally see muscle group definition, triceps have increased in size, forearms are more vascular and hard, bicep is larger, and deltoid is beginning to form its proper look

I am pretty happy with the results, to fill out my God damn monkey arms I am pretty happy, and I am now certain that steroids only make sense long term. The people doing 6-12 week cycles, like I was intending to do, is just ridiculous. But I am glad I see that now.

Note I've not went to a gym once, I use resistance bands (which I went from 70 > 90 lbs) and I've now moved to 30 lbs dumbells.

I was doing low weight (cause I don't have heavier) and high reps to reach optimal hypertrophy (1-2 sets before failure, 3 minute rest between sets)

It has gotten so ridiculous that Im doing 3 sets of 30 on hammer curls because of how low the weight is, so I've upped to 30 and have a maximum of 50lbs dumbbells now so I hope to have much less reps to reach optimal hypertrophy.

Most noticeable changes have been in the arms and forearms. I will post next update in 8 weeks, I have lowered my calories back to 2600 from 2900.

I've documented this so other people who are wanting to get on steroids can see realistic growth and not have the view I did of a short cycle. I went through the Ashwagandha cope, the SERM only cope, all roads appear to lead to Test. Blood test later this week for T, Estrogen, and LSH. Will reply once I have the results. After blood test will bump Test up to 400-450mg depending on results

Remove the clomid 💀
 
No. 12.5–50 mg/day or EOD has been shown for stimulating LH/FSH while on cycle, helping reduce the severity of suppression.
Why would you care about “suppression” on steroids ❓it’s what’s supposed to happen.

Clomid isn’t healthy to use like this
 
Inject IM 💀

I see little reason for it, there's no clear benefit. More pain, less stable levels, slightly higher risk VS subQ.

If you can quantify the actual benefits sure.

Clomid is dirt cheap, I have a lot of it, and it's EOD.

Clomid can be taken long term. Only 8% get side effects and it's very low risk long term.

Grapeseed is a carrier oil, better for absorption, usual test is using cottonseed oil. Grapeseed is less thick.
 
dude thats pretty bad

One of the many benefits of being 5'10 is you guys can put on muscle easier.

My arms hang almost to my knees

Don't really know how much is muscle exactly, I went from 185 to 213 when I was on Anavar for the first 4 weeks.

There has been clear muscle gains.

Dude your liver has to metabolise this shit just for something not important at all, and no clomid has side effects especially long term

I do not see the literature that supports this. There was a 400 men study who were taking clomiphene for 84 months (7 years) with no significant adverse events and no liver issues.


You are for some reason more concerned about my SERM on cycle than my steroid usage?

If you can show the evidence that points to Clomid being significantly hepatotoxic I'd read it.

Vision problems, still needs to be metabolised, mood problems added, all to support something utterly useless on cycle
 
25mg of Clomid EOD ( 12.5–50 mg/day or EOD) has shown it can start stimulating LH/FSH while on cycle, helping reduce the severity of suppression.)
The increase is insignificant, you dont need lh and fsh now anyway os even if it wasnt it would be unessesary

I don't have vision problems, and none were developed long term in the literature. Yes it has to be metabolized, so what? No mood problems.

This is most likely the case. Although it's significance will depend person to person. I'll get my bloodtest later this week, see where my LH and FSH is at, then I'll stop Clomid until my next blood test.


From what I've seen, whether it helps or not is basically irrelevant, since not a single young man has ever become irreversibly infertile from Test, I've tried to find anecdotes or any sort of literature on this but I cannot.
