hey, currently running 500mgs test E, and 245mgs tren A weekly. im in a moderate (300-600) surplus currently but im considering lowering it to maintenance/150-200 surplus to recomp. im curious as to others experiences with tren recomps. i dont want to go into a deficit as im trying to get stronger and grow a good amount of muscle but i still want to get leaner. i have heard anecdotes of tren lowering bf even at maintenance or slight surpluses so do you guys think i could recomp and lower bf at slight surplus or maintenance on tren? im not sure how that works as a surplus is a surplus and theoretically a maintenance shouldnt lean you out- maybe its the nutrient partitioning? also, i dont struggle much with cutting but i dont want to slow down my muscle growth currently
Checkout the podcast, there is a few really good tren episodes that discuss this very thing. @Mobster often talks about recomping on tren, he may have the exact info you need.
tren can help some people shred even on a bad diet. but that doesn't mean its a good idea
to run tren the best and reduce sides a trick is spreading out carbs throughout the day. that helps balance blood sugar and nutrient partitioning
i see, yeah i wouldnt call my diet bad persay, im just eating alot because obviously you want to maxamize gains when on gear especially at my "blast" dosages. ill make sure to use that carbs tip as a do eat alot of carbs and primarily carbs+protien
okay will do thanks
carb cycling is something that i would look at doing
ive considered it but carbs can take upto 24 hours to restore glycogen so i scrapped the idea- not sure how that would change on tren and gear in general though as i believe glyocgen uptake is increased
let's not over complicate things. the truth is you should keep some quick carbs on hand with tren. i used to freeze homemade pancakes and reheat them as needed with raw honey.
on nights you wake up in a pool of sweat or with shakes those come in handy

welcome to the EVO family
@200leansoonn You are on 500mg test and 245mg tren, so debating maintenance vs surplus means nothing unless we can see your daily weight, calories, protein carbs fats, training weights, sleep, BP and cardio. otherwise its like empty guessing!
Get a full cycle log up now because the EVO family cannot guide recomp, fat loss, carb timing or Tren response from theory, we need the actual numbers and weekly pictures to guide you properly. 15min of your time to start a log and change your life and become EVO VIP
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

Bros, if you're going to use tren, that's good. I like it with some anavar, winstrol, or masteron. That's a good one.
There is no one size fits all with Tren or any other steroid. We've seen people use Tren and get all kinds of different results. You are your own person.
tren definitely has a lot of things it can do. It can do recomposition for sure but a lot of people don't realize it's also great for mass or cutting.
This definitely helped me. No carbs before bed really helped my night sweats
yeah balancing out the blood sugar helps
