Hello, I'm 5'11 and weigh 152, with a body fat percentage around 17-19%. I'm still young and have some experience with peptides. I'm looking for guidance on how to effectively use testosterone enanthate. I'm planning to use it for bulking, which I struggle to do naturally. My plan is to start with 100mg for the first two weeks, then increase to 250mg from weeks 3 to 12. I think I'll inject subcutaneously. I also monitor my calorie intake, aiming for 3100 calories with 160 grams of protein. I'll be doing monthly blood tests to see how my body reacts. I'm a bit worried about estrogen or E2 levels increasing. Since I'm only taking 250mg of testosterone enanthate, I don't believe I will need an AI or HCG, but my blood work will confirm that. What do you think of this plan and any thoughts on a PCT?

Hey, have you done any baseline blood work yet? If not, that's the first thing you should do. You might want to reduce your body fat a bit before starting too. Keep an AI on hand just in case your E2 levels rise. With that dosage, I wouldn't be overly concerned, but it's better to be prepared. I would recommend starting a bit higher, but I understand your reasoning for beginning low. Some people experience post-injection pain when injecting subcutaneously, but I haven't had any issues with intramuscular injections. Feel free to reach out if you have questions.

Your muscle foundation isn't quite advanced enough yet. At your height, you should aim to naturally reach at least 200lbs. And maybe wait until you're older.

Thanks for the tips! I actually had blood work done about a month ago; my free testosterone was at 444, and the test was done at 3 PM. I'm also aiming to gain around 15-20 pounds.

I feel like I've hit some natural limits; I can bench 225, which is pretty solid for me. I've also tried to go above 165, but I can't seem to break that barrier.

Also, I'm actually at 15% body fat, not 17%.

Yeah, I had to do a double take at 5'11 and only 152lbs, just saw the body fat percentage.
