Starting a log for my first tren cycle. I will do my best to update along the way.
Current stats:
Age 31, 6'4" 250-255lbs, appx 17-18% bf. I train and compete in strongman and have been for the last 4-5 years, so being super "lean" has not always been my goal. Two years ago I was competing at a bodyweight of 290-305, I cut to 275, then again to 265, recently coming off a final cut down to 245-250 which is the best I've ever felt performance and health wise.
Cycle:
10 weeks, (possibly 12 depending on sides and blood work) of my standard TRT dose of 200mg/wk Test C and 200mg/wk Tren E. I know, first time I should be using ace; however, I don't want to be injecting that often, I do Monday and Thursday as is and wanted to add tren to the mix for an extra bump. I am aware of the long ester and if bad sides come up I'll have to wait it out when coming off. I just did my second injection this week so technically only 1 week in so far.
I have pharma grade prescription aromasin for TRT and have been running it at 6.25mg 3x a week. Current e2 on TRT alone is at 37.4 pg/ml with a reference range of 7.6 - 42.6 pg/mL. I may bump to 6.25mg 4x a week spread out, but I feel good at this e2 level right now. I also have caber on hand; however, see my previous post where my prolactin is already on the bottom end of the range. I do not plan to touch the caber unless labs indicate I need it.
I did a full blood panel before starting the tren including metabolic, lipid, thyroid, test, e2, prolactin, progesterone, etc,. I will recheck after 3-4 weeks and compare.
On top of my daily/nightly supplement regimen I have added Udo's oil at 2tbsp a day, cranberry extract, as well as 1000mg citrous bergamot for lipid support. I'm curious to see if any of these help while on tren, as the Udo's oil has done wonders in the past for balancing out my lipids after anavar cycles.
Training:
I train primary strongman/powerlifting with bodybuilding accessories. 4x a week, sessions are at least 2hrs per day. I do 15-20 minutes of LISS cardio after each session. I have a very reputable strength coach who I've worked with for years who does my programming.
Diet:
I have been staying right around 3300-3500 cals for maintenance depending on training days for last few months. I follow the vertical diet and eat very clean minus one cheat meal on Sundays that still stays within calories. I also do a minimum of 16hr intermittent fasting on Thursdays, and drop carbs a tad on my days off from lifting
Goals:
My goal is to gain strength and put on some lean mass. Ideally I want to stay at or below 265lbs and shed a little fat if possible. I plan to stay at or just slightly above maintenance calories for the first 3-4 weeks to see how things progress, I will add cals if needed.
Pic attached is at 250lb a week ago
Only question I have right now is should I go ahead and add another 6.25mg of aromasin now or just stick where I'm at? I don't want any estrogen issues to come up but I also don't want to drop my e2 if I don't need to.
