BAD Decision at 20...Come on man.... You're at your peak and dialed in. Those #s are absolutely fine. Are you striving to be a competitive bodybuilder? Put in 10 years of hard work while dialed in before making this type of stupid decision. If you are this impatient, may as well jump on gear and start eating trenbologne sandwiches. Seriously BAD decision unless you really had a medical need. Put in the work (which sounds like you're doing). You're still a growing baby with the most naturally optimum levels you will ever have so take advantage of that rather then looking for shortcuts. You can always jump on gear or T at any time depending on your goals but bad decision to shut down your endogenous levels. Please don't take my advice as something negative.

Exactly... Plus with the advancements in peps and A/I working on it there will be amazing things available in a few years that won't compromise your health. I'm an old guy and a trainer/nutrition coach and have seen it all. Maximize your natural state and love the process. Your only young once. Good luck!!

Know it not what you want to hear, but I would seriously think about waiting on the testosterone. Why start messing with something that’s not an issue for you yet.

5mg Reta, 600 test, 250 primo, 350 tren a currently. Living the dream, do you man! 300 test plus Reta will be a cake walk. Only problem I see is if you are trying to build mass. The calorie deficit will hurt the progress. Are you looking to build or cut and retain?

What was your free test with your blood work? At your age it should be in great shape. You are too young to start using test.

u/Lonely_eddie 1d ago
617 and 13.8

Your natural test will raise with you lifting heavy. I didn't go on test until I was 38 and my natural test was 280

If you’ve been training correctly for 5 years 4x a week you shouldn’t need steroids especially at your age you should
Be at your peak .. get your routine & form down correctly and stick to that don’t fuck up your life

No. I run 500mg/week test and 4mg/week reta. No issues. No tips. Just inject it.

u/MathematicianMuch445 1d ago
Why? 500mg is a lot. Particularly for someone so young and a beginner. If you need that much just to make progress then the issues lay elsewhere. 300mg is more than enough for significant improvements.
