Hello everyone,

I am 35 years old and have been on a cycle when I was 22 years, when I was younger I was not researching enough and ended up with injecting Testosterone Enanthate 250mg / 1ml every 7 days, had some really good gains with but have been exposed to high blood pressure and high libido.

On my first cylce, beside the side-effects, I only benefited from it, had really good gains, had good mood all time, high libido.

I have low body fat, which is really good for testosterone, since I am a hardgainer, fast food burner, fast shitter.

This time I go for a different approach, I researched the hell out of this topic and that's why I registered here to ask the pro's, If I am on the right track or just delusional.

What I already prepared for this Cycle and would recommend everyone else to do (I am hard gainer btw):
- Optimized my eat schedule / Excel Sheet with all the food, prices, where to buy and what I gain from them
- Optimized training routine / training is on point
- Optimized sleep schedule (had Insomnia before) / Sleep 23:00, Wake-Up: 07:00
- I'm doing cardio training by jogging and cycling for 60minutes a day, I think its important for the heart on a cycle!
- complete blood count still missing the full blood count tests (right now I only have money for the small one, where I live its expensive)

The Cycle-Setup I have in my head and thinking about:
- 200mg Testosterone Enanthate every 7 days, E3D = 100mg (0,40ml)
- Injection Method (Question here): S.C Injection or I.M Injection, is there a big difference? S.C. seems more appealing to me (have no1 to inject for me)
What do you think about my plan? I also though about getting 150mg Testosterone Enanthate per week, E3D = 75mg (0,30ml)

Days to inject would be Monday / Thursday for me, you think this is fine? I have no problem with injecting, not sure If I need to learn the I.M Injection technique, please help me here.

I plan to get my Enanthate from Driada, what are you experiences with them.

Would you add something to the cycle, did I forget something? I heard lower doses dont need aromatization, is that correct?

I dont want to bulk as heavy, I just want to have a better mood, better gains and higher libido, I want to look more like athlete, not like hulk or something!

Thanks for helping me out!
 
Hi,

Let’s go through it step by step.

The idea of using testosterone only and at low doses is very reasonable. But the cycle itself doesn’t end there. You should add HCG at 250 IU three times a week or 500 IU twice a week.

As for aromatization, just keep an aromatase inhibitor on hand. You’ll need to do blood tests during the cycle, and estradiol is one of the markers to check. If it rises too much, you’ll have a tool to control it.

Regarding blood pressure — if testosterone caused high blood pressure when you were younger, I recommend starting now by measuring your blood pressure every morning for a week and writing the readings down. Do you know how to measure it properly, or should I explain? This will be an important baseline to understand how much androgens affect your blood pressure. It’s possible that your blood pressure isn’t ideal even now, and that would accordingly affect how you structure the future cycle.

As for structuring your diet and training — that’s great. Cardio is also an essential component and will help reduce cardiovascular risks.

Injections on Monday and Thursday — yes, that’s great. As for the method, learn how to do both and then decide for yourself which one suits you better. Of course, SubQ injections require daily administration.

Regarding your insomnia — have you completely resolved that issue, and is your sleep back to normal now?
 
Hey,

I'm really thankful for the fast answer and I had to research a little more after your answer.

I have read a lot about HCG and I think for me it's not necessary, I dont care about my balls or being able to create a family, that's simply not me, small balls are fine, bad sperm is kinda good for me =)

If I understand what HCG does, it's mainly used to keep your testicles normal and let you keep your sperms intact, which I really don't care!

For the aromatization I choosed Tamoxifen, for the first cycle when I was younger, all my friends on same dose got bad gyno (one even had to pay for operation, to get rid of it). I was the only one without gyno at all (14 week cycle, 250mg, E7D, 1ml / 250mg T. Enantathe).

I just gonna have some Tamoxifen on hand, it might be different this cycle, so its better to have it.

My bloodpressure (not cycling right now) is in normal range and I got a complete health check from my doctor the past 6 months, because I was unsure, If I am healthy or not and wanted to know. We tested everything, stomach, intestines / bowel, the lung, kinda everything. Im sure I am not sick.

My hematocrit last month was: 40.5
My hemoglobin level: 14.3

Im going to buy a blood pressure machine for home, to do exactly what you mention, get my small blood work done, before I start the cycle. Going to make another small blood work after 3 month to see hematocrit, hemoglobin and some other variables.

About administration/injection:
- I watch some nurse videos and going for I.M , If s.c. has to be injected everyday
About dose I start:
- 150mg Week, 75mg E3D i.m

My insomnia is fixed after I started to go back to the gym, just had to much energy and didnt use it at my office job.
Going to the gym and doing cardio fixed the Insomnia and If it gets worse or I have a day (what ever reason I cant sleep) I have some medication for it (Melatonin).

Thanks for your answer!
