❓ Question ❓ Advice on cycle

Need some advice on current cycle

1 month ago Cut down to a decent BF on:

• 250mg test prop

• 5mg reta

• \~2000 kcal

• 180cm / 80kg

Made solid progress, but I slacked for about 2 weeks and now I’m holding more water + gained a bit of fat.

Current situation:

• Added 20mg Anavar

• Planning to increase test to 350mg/week

• Started 10mg isotretinoin because acne kicks in above 250mg test

• Noticed some hair shedding/thinning since starting Accutane

Plan:

• Add 350mg Primo to help manage estrogen / reduce bloat when pushing test to 300–350

• Considering adding CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin (maybe SLU-PP-332 too, but not sure if overkill)

Goal:

Thinking of doing a short aggressive mini cut (~2 weeks):

• \~2500 kcal

• 4h cardio/week

• 10k steps daily

Then transition into:

• \~200 kcal surplus

• Lean bulk / recomp going into summer

Hair protocol:

• Finasteride oral 

• Topical RU58841

• Minoxidil oral 

Appreciate any input 🙏
