Looking for Advice on My Second Blast

[saitama]

A bit of background: I'm 25 years old, 175 cm tall, and currently weigh 73 kg. I've been training consistently for 9 years.

Earlier this year I ran my first cycle: 300 mg/week of testosterone, and gained around 7 kg. After the 3-month blast, I switched to 125 mg/week TRT and did a 2-month cut, going from 13% to around 10% body fat while keeping most of my gains. My weight went from 77 kg down to 73 kg.

Right now I'm eating at maintenance and getting ready to start a lean bulk along with my second blast.

The two options I'm considering are:

• 300 mg testosterone + 200 mg Primobolan
• 300 mg testosterone + 200 mg NPP, with 0.25 mg anastrozole twice a week since I tend to aromatize. On my first blast, my testosterone was around 1890 ng/dL and my estradiol was 115 pg/mL.

My bloodwork looks good overall.

What would you recommend for a second cycle, and why? I'd really appreciate hearing your opinions and experiences. Thanks for taking the time!

Hi.

How did you manage your e2 in the first cycle?

Consider another option before going for a 19nor:

To bit more of test. 500-600mg. and MAYBE primo to have your e2 in range. Or an AI for this second cycle. Only test is very potent from the beginning of PEDs journey.

Other reason to that.
It is always important to evaluate in your journey at the beginning with the peds the maximum testosterone that you can use and tolerated without AI or other DHT derivated.
It can then be the basis of any cycle, and then adjust according to the second compound used (more if primo with for example, to find your own ration)

So. That's my advice and my thoughts.

Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it.

On my first cycle I didn't really manage my E2 because I had very few symptoms. I felt good overall, so I never needed an AI.

I understand your point about finding the maximum testosterone dose I can tolerate before adding a second compound. My main reason for considering NPP is that I'm looking for a bit more anabolic effect without having to push testosterone too high. But your approach definitely makes sense, and I'll keep it in mind before making a final decision.

If you want to do nandrolone opt for npp. But 300mg of npp won't be waaaaaaay more anabolic than 300mg more testosterone. You will get "size" but not from a muscle grow. Npp is not heavy superior to testosterone.

It is also important to do your evaluation of e2 with blood tests. Not by feeling...

Cause right now if you don't know how was e2 at 300mg test. Npp can be the worst thing to add. It can trigger problems that you didn't have before.

Learn how manage test and e2. That's the basis of everything else. Don't try to rush the process. Otherwise next time it's trenbolone and gynecomastia that awaits you.
