Hi all. Would appreciate thoughts on my first cycle. I’ve done a decent amount of research but I figure that you might be able to steer me in the right direction.
Stats:
My primary goal is lean gains. I’ve always struggled to gain and maintain weight, so bulking might not be too effective
Cycle Idea:
I’m considering increasing my testosterone to 400mg/week and adding Masteron at 300mg/week.
Questions:
Stats:
- Age: 31
- Height: 6’3” (190 cm)
- Weight: 163 lbs (74 kg)
- Body Type: Naturally extremely lean/skinny
- Eating clean with a daily intake of ~3,000 calories and ~160g of protein
- Only real vice is 3–4 glasses of wine per week
- Currently lifting 5 days per week. 4 days heavy, 1 day light. If my body has recovered well I’ll do a 6th day as a 5 mile/8 km run
- One year of weight training experience
- Prior to that, I spent 12 years as a competitive long-distance runner (marathon focus)
- Consistent 8 hours of quality sleep per night
- Recovery feels solid
- 120mg Test Cypionate weekly (split into two injections)
- 20mg MK-677 daily
- 300mcg BPC-157 daily
- Fish oil, iron, calcium, multivitamin
- Free Testosterone: 1100
- Total Testosterone: 44
- Estradiol: 166
