- Starting Point
- Before beginning my current cycle, I was running testosterone enanthate at 250 mg per week for about six months. This was a recovery phase focused on healing old injuries and pulling myself out of a state of chronic overtraining. My training intensity during that time was significantly reduced: I trained twice a week, using full-body sessions with basic compound movements, mobility work, corrective exercises, and rehab protocols. The main goal was to “reset” my body — restore postural control, eliminate functional imbalances, and allow lingering overuse injuries to heal. This stage was crucial. Once I felt that my body was truly recovered and structurally balanced, I decided to gradually increase training volume and bring PEDs back in.

- Protocol
- Currently, I’m using 500 mg of testosterone enanthate and 250 mg of boldenone per week. This ratio is deliberate: boldenone helps me keep estradiol levels under control without needing to rely on aromatase inhibitors. This matters for me personally because I have a genetic tendency toward gynecomastia, and in the past, when I used anastrozole, I sometimes experienced unpleasant hot flushes as a side effect. I generally avoid using oral AIs, and with this 2:1 ratio of test to boldenone, estradiol stays comfortably in the mid-reference range, naturally.
- Subjective Experience
- Subjectively, the results have been great. Within the first week, I felt a clear boost in energy and drive — especially in everyday life, not just training. There's a noticeable dopaminergic effect: I feel more decisive, more focused in the morning, and far more goal-oriented throughout the day. In the gym, strength is climbing steadily, particularly in legs and compound lifts. I train 5 times a week, focusing on powerlifting and MMA, and even with high training volumes, recovery is strong. Some days, my training partner and I go through 15 heavy working sets for legs, and I’m handling it with no signs of CNS fatigue.
Libido is very high — almost too much at times, which can be a bit disruptive day-to-day. But in general, that’s a good sign of hormonal balance. My emotional state is stable, I feel confident, centered, and generally just “switched on.” I’m able to function productively and clearly both in and outside the gym. No anxiety, no brain fog — just steady momentum.
- Objective Data
- Weight: bodyweight is climbing steadily and cleanly. Before starting the cycle, I was around 98 kg. Now, after 4 weeks, I’m sitting at 102 kg. Most of the gain is lean, with no signs of water retention or bloat. My arms and shoulders are noticeably fuller, and vascularity remains intact, especially through the arms and delts — another good sign of estrogen being well-managed.
Blood pressure: consistently around 125–130/80, no issues with hypertension.
As expected with any AAS cycle, hematocrit began to rise. This is a usual response for me. Once it crosses 54%, I typically donate 500–600 ml of blood. I usually do this every 6 months, particularly when my total weekly PED dosage exceeds 1250 mg. Liver enzymes and lipid markers remain within normal range due to appropriate support.
- Product Quality and Credibility
- These compounds are absolutely legitimate. Effects are precisely what they should be — testosterone delivers strong psychological support, boldenone adds clean strength and endurance, and helps manage estrogen without AIs. Progress in the gym is linear and sustainable, with no sudden crashes or unexpected dips in performance. All signs point to high-quality raws and proper dosing.
- Side Effects and Injection Feedback
- Side effects have been minimal. The only consistent one is increased hematocrit, which I monitor and manage proactively (as explained above).
In terms of PIP (post-injection pain): I use G23 needles for glute injections, and in most cases there’s no significant pain. Occasionally, I seem to hit areas with a bit of fibrotic tissue — which is no surprise given my long-term use of injectables — and mild soreness might show up the next day. In those cases, I just take a basic NSAID like ibuprofen, and that resolves it quickly.
I’ve also experimented with subcutaneous injections using an insulin pin (0.3 ml per shot), but ended up with small lumps and local tenderness. Not a serious issue, but it felt suboptimal, so I decided to drop the subQ approach entirely.

This cycle has been stable, productive, and well-tolerated. I’m seeing consistent strength gains, strong recovery, and a clear psychological edge. The testosterone + boldenone combo is optimal for me — not just for growth, but for managing estrogen without AI side effects. The products are legit, effective, and predictable in their action. Energy, motivation, and progress are all there. At this stage, I’d call this one of my most balanced and effective cycles to date.
