I’m currently 7 weeks into a 500 mg/week Test Cyp cycle. Around this point, I had to start using Arimidex at 0.5 mg twice per week on the same days that I pin because I was getting really puffy and my nipples were becoming very sensitive.
I’ve also been eating around maintenance calories while training harder and focusing on progressive overload. It’s crazy how I look leaner now than I did 3 weeks ago, even though I’m still the same weight.
I only have a few more weeks left in the cycle. The gains have been somewhat mild, but this was also just a first cycle to see how I respond. I think next time I’ll probably run somewhere between 300–400 mg. Honestly, the 500 mg wasn’t that bad. I didn’t experience much acne or hair loss. My estrogen was definitely getting high, but the Arimidex came in handy.
My planned PCT is Tamoxifen for 4 weeks: 40 mg for the first 2 weeks, then 20 mg for the final 2 weeks, followed by bloodwork.
One major thing I noticed is that I’m getting more hair on my upper back and shoulders, and my facial and body hair grow back way faster than before.
I could definitely cut down further and really make my abs and jawline pop, but I don’t feel like I’m at the size where I’d be comfortable doing an aggressive cut yet. For my next cycle, I really want to keep growing while staying lean. I was considering Test, EQ, and Anavar or Test, Masteron,
& EQ for a longer duration this time as well like about 24 weeks.
I’m also considering peptides haven’t picked out which ones specifically but am looking mainly at ghk-cu and selank. Also Retatrutide when the time comes will def add that to the gear stack. I’ve never had to diluent peptides before but the process doesn’t seem that complicated and i do have experience pinning though it was Intramuscular, SubQ looks easier anyway.
Any suggestions or thoughts and advice on this log would be appreciated. Thanks.
