First off...Hey Rodja! :wave: How you been bro?
I guess I'm a mutant half-vet/half-noob nowadays cause I never heard of Trest till now. I found a bit of info on it from Google but would someone that's used it kindly link me to some solid/accurate info on it...or copy/paste info in quotes as a reply on here if linking is bad. Thanks.
I've run 1T-cyp @ a gram a week along with closer to 2g/week of 4AD-cyp/4OHT-cyp blend (Sledge Test!! Lol) for a few months (it's been 10 years, forgive me if I don't recall exact length but it was on the longer side of cycles in general...). With a small dose of Letro I really enjoyed it...felt great, looked amazing, every workout was incredible, etc. 2 complaints that I'd attribute to the 1T-Cyp: F'd with my prostate. Admittedly I didn't take any Saw Palmetto, etc. for prostate support and my dose was high so ymmv, but I've ran other gear at high doses before (also no prostate support supps) and never had any issues. When I say it F'd with my prostate, I mean: Elevated PSA level, stung in my chode/grundle/taint
lol: at words not the stinging) during urination and ejaculation (the latter was the more sever of the 2), and I even had WBCs in my urine sediment (I work as a lab tech for those that don't know). So learn from my mistake and at least plan on maybe needing prostate support if using it. 2nd complaint: I have no idea of knowing if it was the particular gear I was using or if this is a property inherent to 1T-Cyp itself, but...once injected (sorta speculation because I couldn't literally see inside my muscle lol) the 1T-Cyp itself would come out of solution and maybe crystalize(??) inside the muscle. This may sound like bs, especially if you don't know me, but it was like clockwork...gear was crystal clear, pinning was silky smooth, but starting in a few hours and lasting days the muscle and surrounding tissue would SWELL and HURT. I'd describe the pain as not being "injury-like" but more like imagining doing 50 drop sets of iso work on that muscle...along with being tender to the touch. Swelling and tenderness was both in the muscle and surrounding tissue. It may very well have been the gear, but at the time I used it it was legal and the same guy that brewed that brewed plenty of other "legal sterile oils" at much higher concentrations and there was absolutely no issue with any of the others. Nowadays I would discontinue using it, but hey I was young and obsessed with my body. I'm sure I may get flamed but I'm just mentioning it so you guys can keep an eye out. The only thing that really seemed to help at all was injecting the muscle that I was gonna work that day, and the closer to gym time the better. And then making sure my workout was brutal with extra concentric iso work (ie. If I injected a pec it'd be on chest day right before I hit the gym, and I'd make sure to do a ton of cable crosses to end my workout...complete with triple drop sets, holding concentric and squeezing/flexing the $hit outta my pecs and holding that for a few sec. on each rep.) Extensive stretching at the very end too. The more blood flow to the pinned muscle the merrier.
Having said all that :rant: .... I've used tren twice and I'll never use it again. Don't get me wrong I half-LOVE the stuff, but the mental sides were a bit much to say the least. I can also do without waking up in the middle of the night freezing and my entire bed/bedspread being soaked.
I've done some wild cycles in my day, nowadays I prefer (for many reasons) to basically just cruise on 500mg/week of test. I've never run deca or NPP but that's something I'm strongly considering adding in the near future. Rodja if you have any more thoughts on Nandrolone, particularly deca vs. phenylprop, I'd love to hear em (either here or shoot me a pm if u want).
