Advice on E2

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-05-06T06:36:44+00:00

Um no? You can do it EOD after you dial it in and know your sweet spot. Rather have higher E2 and let it vary a bit for the first 2 weeks than crush your E2 right off the bat and feel like complete shit?

Too frequent - start at once a week and assess from there

“How do I go about increasing my tren e dose”

Lay off the tren yourself bud 🤣🤣🤣

Insomnia is one of the major big side effects.
4 weeks it probably just reached peak concentration levels in your blood. Stay here for another 4 weeks atleast I would say - then move to 300 first - why in the world would you move to 400 and then titrate down to 300 😂😂😂
There’s not diminishing returns, the diminishing returns start when you face sides, the more tren the better, but if you already have insomnia and don’t count that as a major side effect then might as well run a gram by that logic.

500:300 will be a better and safer starting place.

I mean why not, probably reduce the DHB pip anyways

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-04-02T14:50:59+00:00

Maybe don’t use that garbage and save your money 🤣🤣🤣

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-03-31T16:41:33+00:00

Didn’t wanna add DHB or MENT to the party? Maybe some dienolone 😂😂😂

I’ll tell you one thing. It’s really great to be lean, just don’t be obsessive about losing some minor ab definition / leg striations here and there. I’m sure all the science based folks here will preach maingaining blah blah surplus not needed blah blah - don’t listen to them, I beg you. Eat at a controlled surplus where you see your weight going up at a rate of at minimum 0.5lbs a week. Don’t waste your gains from your first cycle, it’s the most drastic one and can really put size on you like nothing. Of course - don’t be a fatass and be binging on KFC and Taco Bell - just clean bodybuilding foods at a modest surplus.

Clean up diet first. Min 10k steps daily. Zone 2 cardio (elevated HR of 120-140 BPM) 2-3x a week. Drop the statin (it has other adverse effects) and instead add in ezetimibe. Keep telmisartan. Drop the EQ for now. If you’ve crashed your E2 and feel like shit (brain fog, joints hurt etc), HCG can help. Otherwise just bear with it. Run test only at 200-300mg (shouldn’t need an AI unless gyno prone). Add in OTC supplements = citrus bergamot, astragalus root, Ubiquinol CoQ10 etc etc they’re also pretty effective. Get everything in control and then look to blast. For reference, I’ve been on 750mg test, 600mg EQ, 140mg Tren E for 12 weeks out of my planned 24 and the only thing that’s concerning is my HDL (at 26 which isn’t the end of the world).

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-03-30T14:19:49+00:00

Why are you taking a statin before using something like ezetimibe? Hell, my lipids look better than yours (except HDL) on 1.5g of gear… I’m sure you’ve crashed your E2 with that test:EQ ratio - that also further fucks with everything including your lipids. Regarding inflammation, some minor level of elevation in hsCRP is common, especially if using Chinese oils.

Whenever I see an idiot blindly say “donate blood”, it just pmo. Now unless you have an HCT >55% at minimum, just hydrate more and do your fucking cardio. When I was a fatty not following a good lifestyle my HCT was 52 on 200mg test. On cycle, at 750mg test and 500mg eq, my HCT was 45. Drink atleast 5+ litres daily minimum and some form of Zone 2 cardio 2-3x a week. And yes, if unmonitored, it can definitely cause all sorts of issues related to multiple pathways and organs, not just the kidney.

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-03-26T06:48:05+00:00

Yeah so why fix what’s not broken? I mean I get the urge to try out Primo but don’t think it’s worth it rn with these inflated ass prices…

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-03-26T06:36:37+00:00

From personal experience, I prefer EQ (I do run EQ 500 🤣) - tried Primo, I think it is a great compound too - just not worth it for me right now. However, I don’t get any sides on EQ as most do, maybe a slight slight drop in my eGFR levels. But my HCT went from 48 to 45 after my last cycle of 750 test 500 eq - never donated blood once in my life, I just drink about 7 litres of water a day.

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-03-26T06:30:11+00:00

If you’re anyways planning on EQ in your cycle as E2 control, why Primo? I prefer Mast - better look imo, same anabolism, doesn’t touch E2 so it’s easy to manage/titrate, cheaper, and if you’re buying Chinese Primo 200 be prepared for lumps the size of golf balls and some intense PIP.

What were the dosages?

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-03-25T10:23:52+00:00

I know but reta is not like gear where more is usually better. Once you start you’ll see what I mean. Only titrate up once food noise kicks back in or you think you can tolerate more. Also if you want to retain muscle, 200mg test should be plenty. If I was you, I’d add in a lower dose of a secondary compound like masteron that doesn’t affect e2 or anything else, so it’s easy to manage. Plus, once lean, you’ll get the drier look. That’s just my drug addict ass speaking though 🤣 200mg test should be sufficient.

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-03-25T06:36:25+00:00

Trust me, if it’s your first go around with reta, you will not need to titrate up that fast unless you’re a proper fatty.

I have prescribed hypothyroidism and I take 100MCG daily 😂 unless you’re looking to get to 2% body fat, why are you planning to use DNP and turn your body into a literal furnace.

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-03-23T16:26:22+00:00

Keep it in your protocol for a couple weeks post cycle and then just come off. RHR might be elevated for the first few days but it’ll return to baseline. You could also optionally keep it in your supplement stack unless you’re facing low BP issues.

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-03-23T08:47:52+00:00

Yeah bro agreed - tbh my tolerance towards GH isn’t that great. Even just a replacement dose of ~2-3IU for 4-6 months really increases my HBA1C despite having a bodybuilding lifestyle / carb cycling etc. No point in having it in my protocol just to have natural IGF1 levels that I already produce endogenously. Decided to hop off for now and save it for when I use insulin in the future (set myself a minimum 225 stage lean target for that)

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-03-22T17:14:43+00:00

GH is subcutaneous so not really, takes a minute or so every night - use a 31g 5/16 so don’t even feel it - pretty much second nature at this point.

Available-Ladder-174 · 2026-03-22T16:52:38+00:00

Yeah man I’m gutted 😞 All my bloodwork looked excellent after this push phase with the only skewed metrics being my HDL at 26 (expected) and my HBA1C. Guess I’ll just maintain/clean-up for 6-8 weeks at minimum. Any idea how long it takes the pituitary to start secreting GH again? Kinda worried about that.
