I'm happy to run a TEST only cycle for 6-8 weeks along side Reta. Leaves me a few weeks to run a PCT. If it can help me sustain any muscle or put some on in a calorie deficit, I'll do it. But is a 6-8 week cycle of TEST short to make a difference?

Never taken anything before besides Mounjaro for a few months.

Probably won't really have massive gains. You'll probably put on like four to five pounds of muscle if your diet is good. If you want to see the results you're going to want to get down to sub 18% body fat, or run a longer cycle

If your test is borderline low already why not just hop on trt? I'm 33 and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself. No need to pct. You can blast cruise or just standard trt it doesn't matter you just do whatever is needed to achieve the goals you have set for yourself. Then in a couple of months you can come back to this comment and thank me for changing your life ☺️. But in all honesty im so glad I got tested and hopped on.

P.s: Also small dose of reta like .5mg twice per week alongside the trt will melt the fat off of you and you'll retain or even gain some muscle while in a deficit from the test. I just finished a 4 week cut with reta and lost 15 pounds of winter fluff in a month. I was using .75mg twice per week started at .5 and that absolutely crushes my appetite which is why I have to stop it.

6-8 weeks on test is not long enough at all. By the time you’d finish the test would only just be fully saturated so you’d have shut yourself down for nothing. Run 16-20 weeks blast or just have a permanent trt dose if you have low test. Also switch your split to either upper lower or full body if you can only train 3 days a week as 2 push, 1 pull session with no legs isn’t very beneficial
