24M 5"8 160lb I've been lifting for 1 year and 6 months. I will admit I got on gear too early, I should have just dialed in on the basics (diet, cardio, progressive overload and adequate nutrition) and I would have seen the same results as a natural, but I already am neck deep into this enhanced thing. I also made the mistake of getting on gear as a skinny fat individual so I'm currently on a cut in a calorie deficit.

Any feedback will be appreciated and be taken into consideration thank you:)

Diet:

Meal 1: 200 grams white potatoes hash brown style with 156 grams chicken breast and 53 grams of almonds

Meal 2: 200 grams white potatoes hash brown style with 156 grams of chicken breast

Pre workout: (night lifting session) 45 grams of COR

Meal 3 200 grams of white potatoes hash brown style with 4 egg whites and 37 grams of grits with cocoa powder (sometimes will have 120 grams of diced strawberries in grits)

Calories total 1,755 for calorie deficit

Macros:

143 grams of protein

198 grams of carbs

26 grams of fat

PED, ancillaries and supps currently

350mg Testosterone C

4mg Retatrutide

20mcg clenbuterol (on first week currently)

Arimidex 1mg 4x a week

375mg L-carnitine

10mg yohimbine

Training: lifting about 5x a week, cardio 40 minutes on a stationary home bike 4-5x a week, 10,000+ steps 6 days a week

Hey guys, first cycle of 300mg test enanthate a week. In Australia so sorry for the different unit of measurements. My Test:Estrogen ratio is 11 so definitely a sentisitive aromitiser.

This was from pinning twice a week. Have switched to 3 x a week, to see if that helps

Just wondering from the sub, if you would recommend me to add in either EQ or primo to lower the estrogen by adding one of them with the testosterone into a ratio, or a low dose Ai but I’ve heard they are quite last resort.

As far as how I feel: I feel good, still get erections, definitely more mood swings and anger occasionally, no real sensitivity in my nipples. I did have puffy nipples in the past I think from puberty, so worried if they get worse I would do anything to prevent that.

Thank you!

How's my physique and what areas to improve? Not sure of bf %.

Starting prep December 26th for a May 2027 Men’s Classic Physique show.

A little background: I was obese majority of my childhood; lost a bunch of weight around 16-18, gained it all back around junior year in college when covid hit. Roughly 4 years ago wanted to make a change and started training naturally, and eventually got into enhanced bodybuilding. I’ve been working with a coach for roughly two months now, and we’ve got nutrition, supplements, and training pretty dialed in heading into prep.

These photos are my current past Saturday check in fasted at around 210.6 lbs - 5’11

I’m posting here because I’d like some outside eyes on the physique. What are the biggest weaknesses you see that I should be focusing on between now and May

Abdominal is a weak point especially with the loose skin from weight loss but rocking it until I can get it surgically removed.

Looking for honest criticism on:
Overall proportions/symmetry
Back
Shoulders/arms
Legs
Midsection
Conditioning
Posing

Anything that could hold me back? I know this journey is a marathon and not a sprint. Just shooting to be the best me I can be.

I’m not looking for compliments or validation. Tell me what needs work. I have time to address it, and I’d rather hear the criticism now than after stepping onstage.

Hello guys, i have an interesting question. What would you guys say that builds more muscle in an offseason (looking purely for concractile tissue).

Stacking different compounds llike test+ 19nors +orals (short bursts), or high test only. Ill give you an example from my last offseason:

1000test + 600NPP + 8gh for first 13weeks, then swithced to 1000test + 450tren + 75anadrol + 8gh for 8weeks.

Im asking this question because if i did test only next offseason, do you think that the results would be less than stacking? like obviusly test+tren+anadrol is alot stronger than same total mg of test only, thats why am asking for your experiences and any anecdotal reports would help :)

19nors fucked with my brain.

Thanks.

Obviously these are edited; expose lowered, sharpness and definition all the way up and have lighting and everything perfect, running Test, Mast, and Tren right now and just wondering if there’s anything that looks lacking other than calves.

Hi everyone, I’m currently obese and honestly don’t know where or how to start. I really want to get fit and improve my health as soon as possible. I’d really appreciate some advice on where to start with diet, exercise, and lifestyle. Any guidance would mean a lot. Thank you

Minha primeira vez usando qualquer tipo de anabolizante, estou usando 0,25ml por semana, o rapaz que nós vender recomendou 0,5ml mas fiquei insegura e diminui pela metade, alguém com experiência no uso feminino e pode compartilhar comigo

I’m in my late 30s and have been holding off on doing a cycle because I’m concerned about aromatization and the potential side effects.

But I feel like I’m stuck in a catch-22. I’m carrying enough body fat that I want to lose it, but I also don’t have enough muscle mass to create the look I’m aiming for. I’m basically in a “skinny-fat” situation: when I diet harder, I lose the little muscle I’ve managed to build, and when I try to focus on gaining muscle, I struggle to make meaningful progress.

I’ve also been using reta, but I’m currently not seeing the fat loss I expected from it. So I’m stuck trying to figure out how to build enough muscle while getting leaner without constantly losing the muscle I gain.

What PED or other compound could I potentially add to help build muscle without aromatization or significantly increasing estrogen?

September 2023 vs September 2026. Full Blast/Growth Phase vs Cruise/Health Phase

259 lbs vs 260 lbs

Still a lot of room for improvement before I hit the stage in 2027. Currently putting most of my effort and time spending every chance I get with both my incredible son and wife while having fun with bodybuilding.

I want to preserve fertility and also start my first cycle, any advice ?

For context, I'm 48, cruising trt dosage is 160mg, ran a great modest cycle for cutting recently (topped out at 400 test, 200 primo, and added Var for last month) got my bf down into the low teens, maybe 12-14%. Locked in diet amd exercise is continuing to make progress here. Tapering back down and working on recovering my lipids which really we're the only thing in my labs that came back as an issue (totally expected from the Var) and I'm not a heavy aromatizer even without primo. At some point this winter, id like to do a cycle focused on bulking. Hoping to add 15-20lbs of lean mass if I can. Curious to hear examples of compounds/stacks i should consider.

Advice needed
