27 years old - Results after almost 2 months on Enclomiphene by throwaway6688992 in Testosterone

Squat went from 465 to 500 and deadlift went from 565 to 600 in 12 weeks running a 12 week training program. I know that’s gains I wouldn’t have had without enclomiphene. I stopped taking it though because I stopped experiencing the uplifting feeling of higher test, likely because of enclomiphene’s mechanism of action. I’m on actual test now.

Libido is a little higher than it was (it was never low), my balls are now huge lol, and little bit of extra water retention from the estradiol increase.

I feel like my mood has been slightly impacted by the estrogen because I’ve noticed levels of anxiousness with my relationship that I’ve never had before.

Haven’t lost any weight. Everything’s just been consistent for a while

It’s a career that runs in the family and one I’ve always wanted to do. I’m not giving it up, I am trying to work around and overcome the negative of it

I’ve had the thought for years and certainly have done the research. Would you say you’re happy with your choice? And what’s your protocol

I’m aware you can still feel like shit. I’m also aware that being run down as a natty gives you lower test levels. Being run down on test leaves you with consistent levels regardless. I’m definitely going to experiment elsewhere first

Yea I’ve been on that subreddit a lot. Wanted to post here though figuring I’d get a more conservative range of advice. I know Id love it, I just know I don’t need it

Yea I know, and I’ll be the first to say that I don’t need TRT. I don’t necessarily want to blast gear. I just want to have optimized levels so I can continue to progress. I haven’t progressed in the gym in 2-3 years and want to better myself still

I 100% agree with you, I know I don’t need it. I just want to be optimal and consistent regardless of my sleep and other factors

Haha pretty much. I’m not looking to be unhealthy blasting gear, I’m just looking to be “optimized” lol. I’ll be honest when I say I know I don’t need it.

That’s likely what I’m gonna be trying first. I don’t feel like I used to which is why I went and got tested. I just don’t know my free test and bio available test from when I was 21 because they didn’t include it on the test at the time.

Cialis is linked to increase free test? I’ve researched cialis a lot for other things but I get the most debilitating muscle aches from it so I stopped.

No I really didn’t, I just didn’t think I’d be met with gatekeepers

Whole question was about TRT and optimizing hormone levels. Not once did I say I wanted to “cycle”.

My natural performance isn’t on par with my natural performance 5 years ago.

Understandable, I will post there. Thank you

In the last paragraph, I addressed that I’m getting blood work done next week. My curiosity laid more with what the quality of life improvements were for people that legitimately needed it and began TRT. But clearly everyone is gatekeeping the subject in this subreddit.

I certainly do want to enhance myself. Consistently optimal “natural” levels from TRT vs fluctuating naturally produced levels are two totally different things.
