First Cycle - Test / Deca / Mast

[wasabi]

Getting ready to start my first cycle on top of TRT and would love to hear some experience from the group.

I’m a 45-year-old male, currently on prescribed TRT at 200 mg test per week, and feeling great on it. Labs are all clear and in normal ranges. I’m looking to add some size and planning to run Deca + Masteron alongside the test. From what I’ve read, Deca seems great for steady size and joint support, and Masteron seems like it could help keep estrogen a bit more in check. Right now I don’t really have any estrogen issues on TRT.

For those who have run this combo before, what ratios have worked best for you?

I’ve seen a few different recommendations floating around like:

1:2:1 (Test / Deca / Mast)
1:1:1

Curious what people here have actually run and how it worked out in terms of size, sides, and overall feel. This will be my first time adding anything beyond TRT so I’m trying to keep it fairly balanced and not go overboard.

Would appreciate hearing some real-world experience.

Imo instead of stacking 3 injectables, just take more testosterone and add an oral.you are taking 200mg for trt , up it to 300mg testosterone enanthate

16 week blast
Testosterone enanthate 300
Tbol 50mg 1st 4 wks
Anavar last 4wks
Week 17 back to trt


I prefer Anavar and tbol over deca and masteron.
Deca gives me prolactin gyno over 100mg a wk.
For me masteron is a cosmetic drug for contest prep and very mild ai.


I am 44y old and on trt since 2012. I have been running test and deca for many years.
A simple blast i am running now
Testosterone enanthate 360mg
Eq eq 300mg
Deca 80mg
Proviron 25mg oed
Going to add tbol

Once I finish up my open items. I am switching thing up

A healthy trt plus plan going forward
Testosterone cypionate
Hgh
Anavar

Testosterone and Proviron

Little much for a first cycle but I would do 2:1:1 Test /Deca/ mast

welcome to the EVO family @wasabi
Start the log today, it takes 15 minutes and it’s the only way the EVO family can actually help you.
Post daily bodyweight, calories and macros, training lifts and sets, sleep, steps or cardio, and any sides so we can stop guessing and start dialing it in.

HOW-TO LOG?

Why is a Log Journal important?

• Doing a log will actually help you way more than just dropping random updates. When you lay it all out week by week you start to see patterns in your body that you won’t catch otherwise.
• Other guys here run logs all the time and there’s no privacy issue, nobody is asking for your name or anything personal, it is just training, diet, and how the compound feels.
• The feedback you get is also way better because people can follow along and spot things you might miss. It also helps the next guy who is thinking about running the same compound so you are giving back while you learn.
• Even if you think you might not stick with it, just starting the log makes it easier to come back and add quick notes. That way you get more out of what you are running instead of keeping it all in your head.

To really guide you we need more info from you:

• Please share your diet, training, cardio, sleep, supplements etc log with us in a NEW thread, full log journal so our guidance is based on facts you provide.
• It will take 15-20 minutes max.
• We have 100s of years of experience between us, so you need to post a LOG Journal with your stats (weight,height,age, years training, cycle history) diet, training, cardio, supplement, sleep details. If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.
• Please post a Log Journal asap for us

If you've only ever run test why not just run more test. The usual would be to go to 500mg

 

[rizzlekdizzle]

Hey brother - it is widely known that usually the best first cycle is just a pure Test cycle - 400-500mg/week for 12 weeks - will probably need an AI. Mast doesn't really keep E2 down, just masks the symptoms.
Save the multi-oil cycles for further down the track -
Test+deca is generally a bulking cycle - mast is better for leaning out or using when you are lean

 

[Noah Wixx]

My question is why did you pick these specific compounds what is the reasoning behind the cycle and the choices so i can understand what your looking to get out of a cycle. I kept my first cycle fairly simple test and primo as they stack well together and i knew the chances of bad sides of a bad cycle was low

So here is my view on this. If you need to run something to keep estrogen in check while on a cycle, then that tells me that your TRT dosage on your testosterone is just too high. Now, it may seem beneficial to run testosterone higher, after all, it's more gear, right? But in the end, you're just going to strain the hell out of your kidneys and thicken up your blood, and it can lead to major problems. Problems as you get older. So it's not something you want to do long term.

Bros, I think you're gonna be okay on this. I would run proviron instead of mast. I think that's a better investment.

You can certainly get tremendous results on a cycle like that. I would go with 300 or 400 mg of Test + deca. You'll really grow like a weed.

 

[Ulter]

Imo instead of stacking 3 injectables, just take more testosterone and add an oral.you are taking 200mg for trt , up it to 300mg testosterone enanthate

16 week blast
Testosterone enanthate 300
Tbol 50mg 1st 4 wks
Anavar last 4wks
Week 17 back to trt


I prefer Anavar and tbol over deca and masteron.
Deca gives me prolactin gyno over 100mg a wk.
For me masteron is a cosmetic drug for contest prep and very mild ai.


I am 44y old and on trt since 2012. I have been running test and deca for many years.
A simple blast i am running now
Testosterone enanthate 360mg
Eq eq 300mg
Deca 80mg
Proviron 25mg oed
Going to add tbol

Once I finish up my open items. I am switching thing up

A healthy trt plus plan going forward
Testosterone cypionate
Hgh
Anavar

This is quite a good layout that you put together, man. I really like it from top to bottom.

Honestly, I've run that type of stack many times, but I always prefer to run proviron. It's much more flexible and you don't have to inject as much stuff when you're using it.

Starting a log and sharing the journey will be awesome.......

We have a podcast on Test only cycles. Higher dose Test-only cycles are best before you jump into multiple compounds.

If you start a log we'd know more about you and what would be best for you having all your information

I’d just up the test on my first cycle

 

[Cronus402]

If you've only ever run test why not just run more test. The usual would be to go to 500mg

This makes a lot more sense for a first cycle. Glad someone said it.

 

[Oowua]

Brother, drop the Deca

Up the Test instead and keep the Mast…

The Masteron will keep things clean and help maintain E2 also keep libido high.

Deca has a reputation of “Deca Dick”
AKA , ED

Let’s not ruin the fun of being a Testosterone jacked superhuman
