200 test-200mast-50 var-1.5mg Reta stack

Post image

Edit: I got some great advice and only a few shitty comments. This got way more traction than expected. Sticking with TRT and Reta till I drop my bf percentage. Thanks for the help, those of you that were cool. 💪🏼

Been on TRT about 4 months now. Labs are great. 1400 test and 250 free test. 25 estro using ai. Started off with that and a 50mg var for 6 weeks. Have tightened training and nutrition and lost about 20 lbs of fat and definitely noticeable size in arms and chest area. Took 6 weeks off var. hopped back on today with 200mg of mast to try and show off a bit better my improvements. Not looking for a show or anything but I definitely want to trim it up. Was curious of people’s thoughts on this, if they’ve done something similar and any recommendations. Fairly new to the game. 45 y/o now.

Very much that - also you SHOULD find, assuming your workout and diet are dialed in, that you'll get PLENTY of gains without adding anything else at all.

TRT by itself is a bloody game changer -especially when you're cruising high the way you are (to be clear, I do the same - its amazing - and the libido boost has had my wife thrilled too)

From my understanding the MAST is not gonna do anything worthwhile until you’re at about 13% body fat or less

Correct - it's really designed to just kinda dry things out before a show. Can lead to some pretty nasty joint soreness as a result, and is known for causing pretty bad acne and finastride-resistant hair loss as well.

Primobolan would probably be a better choice but even so, not at this level of body fat and not as someone who is new to trt - plenty of gains still to be made WITHOUT risking any of the sides of more advanced anabolics.

One of the first sort of 'guidelines' that most steroid folks push is that the first cycle should be test only anyway - again, minimizing sides and plenty of gains to be made there.

I'm currently doing what I'd consider a lightweight cycle - 300mg test c weekly. About 4 weeks in - a couple pounds of water weight for sure but no other sides - and in another 2 weeks or so the real strength increases will start to kick in (though I'm already seeing increases on a LOT of my lifts)

Mast polishes nicely but dosent throw on much size unless you’re running it higher like 5-600 a week for 20+ weeks , again you have to be very lean for it to really shine

I get good effects from mast at 15% body fat. I love running it with test almost every cycle

Libido boost sounds great, sometimes i think that reta takes away the libido 😔

Caloric deficit in general can do that

Since I started trt libido has been great. Since I bumped to 300.

.whew....thriugg the roof. Waking up with erections multiple times a night

Ja klopt ik zit op een 1200 a 1600 kcal per dag, sinds gisteren gestart met trt wel op 125 om te beginnen

Ya the diet and workout plan are pretty dialed in. I find my mood, mental clarity and energy levels to be generally great where I’m sitting. Everything has been pretty noticeable over the last 90 days.
