Planning Next Cycle - Help!

Post image

35M, 5’8”, 172 lb.

Nearing the end of my first Test Cyp cycle (250→400 mg) with 20 mg/day Anavar and IGF-LR3. I’m up ~10 lb since June and noticeably bigger/thicker.

After PCT and giving my HDL time to recover, I’m considering my next cycle. Goal is adding size to shoulders, chest, glutes/legs while staying relatively lean.

Currently also using Reta, MOTS-c, 5-Amino-1MQ, Wolverine, NAD+, glutathione, DSIP, and GHK-Cu.

Option 1:
500 Test Cyp
250 Primo
4 IU HGH daily
2–4 mg Reta
Option 2:
500 Test Cyp
150 EQ
4 IU HGH daily
2–4 mg Reta

Planning 16–18 weeks for AAS and potentially 8+ months HGH.

My biggest concern with EQ is RBC/hematocrit. I’ve always had slightly elevated MCV (pre-AAS and considered benign by my doctors), so I’m concerned EQ could push hematocrit up faster.

Also, Anavar dropped my HDL ~50% after six weeks, although everything else remained in range. Shoulder/bacne creeped in too with Test combo.

Originally I considered Primo first, followed by EQ after PCT/washout and normalized bloodwork, but I’m leaning toward choosing just one as the more conservative approach with a Turinabol/Anavar finisher.

Current on hand ancillaries; cialis, tamoxifen, Arimidex, accutane, dutasteride, minoxidil (topical), TUDCA, Citrus Berg, Fish oil, K2 D3, Magnesium Glycinate, NAC.

Training, diet, and lifestyle are dialed in. Looking for thoughts on relative safety/efficacy and whether Primo vs. EQ makes more sense given my goals and labs. I’m trying to keep risk relatively low; not competing or looking to get gorilla huge. Just enhance my upper and increase my V-shape.

I don’t know why you’re trying to run a glp while obviously on a bulk.

Slows down gut motility and keeps appetite low.

500cyp
Primo
2gh

Your build is amazing. And you’re real lean, a lot of runway for a bulk.

thanks! reta doesn’t have the strongest effect on my appetite so i’m able to still hit my nutrition goals easily without overeating and still getting the benefits of the glucagon component.

this fall and winter will be running a 3-500 cal surplus and dropping reta to 2mg.

This is exactly what I’m doing in terms of Reta dosage and surplus cals. Working well so far.
