Update:
I'm overdue for a bigger update so here goes! Prepare for story time!
WEIGHT as of 2/18/19:
That's a gain of...19.6lbs since starting the cycle on 1/12/19. All I gotta say is.. lol
In all seriousness, I can feel the water weight. I'm getting a little fluffy no doubt, but my strength is unreal, to me, at this weight. More explained below!
Current cycle is still:
45mg DMZ ED
100mg split in 50mg morning/50mg night DermaTrest ED
Current Macros:
~250g protein
~370g carb
~110g fat
I'm literally just making small increases each week in carbs. Some of the carb food has a little bit of fat in it too so my dietary fat just keeps slowly rising as well. I don't see that as a bad thing. I have no digestion issues of sort.
Current "physique":
This was really only a core flex + trap pop pose. Not really flexing, just mostly relaxed here.

GYM thoughts:
With all that said, my gym strength is seriously through the roof. Yesterday I did a set of 4 @ 225lb bench, followed by 2x3 @ 225lb, followed by a double at 235lbs. All this was actually relatively easy too, which I never thought I'd say. Just prior to starting this cycle (or maybe right at the beginning?), my 225lb bench attempt was really lousy. Weak, wobbly, had to "touch and go" it. Now i'm +20lbs body weight and repping it, so take that however it is. I have new elbow cuffs coming in today which will be good for my 1RM PR attempt in 2 weeks. Hoping to hit 250-260lbs for a single! Otherwise everything else feels great in the gym until I get a lower back pump.. Deadlifts are really hard because of this so i'll probably drop them for now. Oh, almost forgot, my I hit 315lbs on squat for 2 singles. Finally got my goal squat and it only took me making my own safety squat bar! I'll have to get a video of this, not only to show off the killer depth I get, but just to show what I'm talking about for those unaware.

OTHER thoughts:
Suppression is there for sure, but libido is still good. For example, on Saturday my fiance and I were having a little "fun" and the next day I had slight nut pain lol. I feel 100% today, but I think it just took a noticeable amount of time to recover, which is not typical.
As mentioned, cramps and pump pain is there. It sucks, but I can work with it.
The extra weight it a bit to handle. In the gym I find myself gasping for air a little more, but at the same time, I also feel like I can keep lifting forever with certain movements and I'm pushing myself more than usual too. I just need slightly longer breaks between sets is all.
Besides obvious suppression that any is expected with really any anabolic, NO obvious side effects from DermaTrest. Zero, zilch. Loving this cycle because I also get no sides from DMZ. I'm not even notably lethargic, just had a few days of it here and there, but nothing I would really say is out of the ordinary. Who's not lethargic sometimes?
I'm currently almost 5 1/2 weeks in now. This may be ballsy and not recommended, but I'm going to stick with this cycle as long as the sides stay away. I have maybe 2-3 weeks left of DMZ stock, and 3-4 weeks of trest left. I have enough support supps, enough SERM, enough AI (still haven't used), enough Inhibit-P, etc. So follow me on my journey as I push my suppression to its limits, test for estro sides, and likely get yelled at by someone here for cycling DMZ
and trest so long lol. I have a feeling my liver will be just fine. My urine is still clear and I literally don't abuse it with alcohol ever. Should be okay, right? Right!
Hope everyone likes the story. Again, I try to be thorough with this in case there's any newbs like me who want to try anabolics as well. I really don't recommend them for anyone, especially at an age before you're fully "developed". Take at your own risk assuming anything can happen.
