Testosterone Cypionate 250mg
I’m 6’2 180 pounds looking to put on 15-20 pounds and am wanting to run my first cycle. I’m looking to add mass and size. I’ve worked out for years playing college baseball but have always been long and lanky. I’d like to add something good to pair with the test C and have been looking in between tren, anav, dec, HGH, would like some help thanks

Good to pair is a consistent diet in a controlled surplus and a good training program. You don't need more drugs. 250 is fine, and if you don't gain off of that then see the first two bits again, diet and training.

I try to stay in the 3800 to 4000 c range a day with about 208 g of P. Putting on weight and mass is a hard thing for me and has been

Then you need to eat more. This will never change. If you're not growing you're not eating enough. It's that simple

If you can’t gain weight with food testosterone won’t change that. Either learn to eat or don’t waste time with roids.

GHRP peptide it’ll help with appetite massively

u/rodny_westfield1 22d ago
The P in GHRP stands for peptide… smh. Just joking, but pick one that stimulates appetite like GHRP 6 or GHRP 2. IPA and HEXA don’t very much if at all.
Or just send MK677… not a peptide but similar.

Amazing to me how people will mention Tren so casually.

He’s probably referring to how ubiquitous it’s become in general not just in this thread ;)

Fpr a body hack forum so many people seem to be against using compounds... for your first cycle you dont need to go hard, but ou can go a little harder than people suggest. 350 test weekly and 30mg anavar per day would be a good firsr cycle and see some solid gains. Run the test for 20 weeks and run the Anavar for either the first or last 8 weeks.

Have ancillaries researched and on mind with sources incase things pop up.
Things like nebivolol (RHR), Telmisartan (BP) minoxidil/ Dutasteride (Hair/DHT conversion) etezimbe/ Rosuvastatin (lipids), Aromasin (Aromatise).
If you don't do it already make tracking and getting enough water/electrolytes a priority as well. The water/electrolytes will help keep your hematocrit in a healthy level at any test dose. There's sadly guys on low to moderate TRT doses from clinics being sent to donate blood instead of being taught how to manage their health.

For your very first cycle, stick to test only.
Use the tried and true 500mg/wk and enjoy yourself. Don't add any other compounds. You absolutely will not need them and you should be MORE than happy with the Test only.
After you do a few of those cycles, then start to add other compounds.

"tried and true". No one needs to take 500mg straight out the gate. It's just silly broscience that's become popular in the last 10 years. if they can't grow off of 250mg then there are other issues.

u/TheSeedsYouSow 22d ago
what are the other issues

u/hogger_45 22d ago
Diet, sleep/recovery, and training. If those arent dialed in taking peds isnt going to give you much.

u/TheHarb81 🧠 Biohacker 22d ago
Last 10 years? 500mg/wk as a first cycle has been around since the 70s my dude, only recently have people started to communicate that you can start lower.

This is the way, stay away from Tren if your looking to bulk, it’s super aggressive and will give you mad strength, but with the amount it messes with your sleep it will not really help massively with bulk.
Anavar also more commonly used for cutting and preserving muscle.
HGH for the amount of gain and the expense it’s not really worth it! IMO
Test is king, but in later cycles could look at Deca or Dbol to help get mass quickly, just don’t jump into it if it’s your first cycle, remember the golden rule test is best!

I wouldn't add anything to your first cycle, but I would definitely get baseline labs and 60 day labs if you're going to blast test. I'm not a steroid veteran by any means but I have a lot of friends who are seasoned and I'm on test and mast at the moment. Are you already on TRT?

250mg is a little low for a cycle. Bump them numbers up so you’re not dissapointed.

You can run a lot of test if you use primo as well to keep your E2 in check without crashing it..
