Cycle Help

[Genius]

Hi everyone, I’ve been on testosterone for 9 months.
Before going to the gym, I weighed 59 kg and had a hand circumference of 27 cm xD
But now i feel i big not enough
I started with 250 mg. Height: 183 cm. Weight: 70 kg. Arms: 35 cm, chest: 104 cm, shoulders: 118 cm. Now I weigh 88 kg, my arms are 39 cm, my chest is 112 cm, and my shoulders are 126 cm.
I’ve been taking 500 mg of E for about three months now, and a couple of days ago I finished a six‑week course of Turinabol at 40 mg per day. My results seem really poor to me, even though I have about 16–18 % body fat and a waist size ranging from 86 to 91 cm. Looking at the guys on Instagram, it seems like I’m doing something wrong. I don’t want to use cycles involving Trenbolone and more serious drugs, because I’m not aiming to get huge at any cost.
I have full control over my test results; I’m taking ezetimibe and donating blood.
I also monitor my diet and track my weight progression — tell me, have I achieved a normal result during this time?

honestly bro I feel you I was similar for a whilel I hink the biggest thing is body fat, if you are lean you build muscle infinitely faster due to better insulin sensitivity, and anecdotally its the kind of insulins sensitivity that cant be blood tested, so your hba1c might be fine but youre not gaining as fast as you could be if you were 8-10%, also some people just have worse androgen receptors, so thats a genetic component but you could also give some more insight into diet, training etc

I train every other day, sometimes I take a long break if the workouts were very intense.
My working weights are slightly above average for the gym xD I can’t say that I train like a weightlifter. In my life, I do all the basic exercises except for the deadlift.
I often get enough protein from sports nutrition. I don’t always have the opportunity to eat a lot of protein‑rich food, so I use Optimum Nutrition protein. Perhaps this is also a problem.

Hey bro. Glad you're hip to Ezetimibe, but I gotta point out that lipid-lowering therapy always starts with statins, and Ezetimibe is just an add-on for when monotherapy isn't cutting it or bumping up the statin dose doesn't make sense. Those are the guidelines, my bro. We gotta stick to 'em and actually understand how our protocol impacts long-term outcomes.

Not gonna ramble forever about progressive overload - it just needs to honestly happen. Real talk, bioidentical hormones are the absolute best move for a beginner's cycle. You could easily supplement your test with growth hormone... literally just 2 units. And throw Primobolan into your stack as a clean, mild DHT derivative and solid anabolic. No need to keep upping the test dose, just optimize your cycle smartly and you'll grow exactly how you want.

Thanks for the advice, bro. I brought up ezetimibe mainly because my diet wasn’t very clean before and I wasn’t doing much cardio, so my lipid profile wasn’t ideal. I’m working on both of those now, and I’m also consulting with my doctor about the lipid-lowering side of things rather than just self-medicating.

Regarding GH would 2 IU day be considered safe if I have two kidney cysts? They’ve already been found on imaging, so I’m wondering whether GH/IGF-1 could potentially affect their growth or whether I should avoid GH altogether because of them.

Glad you're seeing a doc, bro. The main reason guidelines strictly put statins first isn't just to drop LDL numbers on paper... it's about actual clinical outcomes. Statins have decades of research showing they directly cut heart attack and stroke risk by stabilizing plaque and reducing inflammation. Ezetimibe just blocks cholesterol absorption in the gut, giving you maybe a 20% LDL drop, which is why it's strictly an add-on if statin monotherapy isn't cutting it or if you get side effects.

This gets even more critical when we talk about all this in the context of steroids. We gotta target atherogenic particles and real world outcomes, not just settle for nice numbers on paper. Definitely run it all by your doc, but guideline wise, statins do the heavy lifting for long-term protection. Just looking out for you, bro.

As for GH and cysts, yeah... the risk of triggering growth is pretty high. Either way, cysts need to be monitored periodically. You're spot on there.
