Using EQ to boost endurance

Hey all, I'm considering adding EQ to my TRT to try and improve my running. I'm on about 65mg every other day for test (roughly 195–250 mg/week) and plan to take tbol on heavy gym sessions or threshold run days. I've never actually run a proper cycle with tbol, but I really like it and haven’t had issues. I know EQ can mess you up a bit and it's long‑estered so it hangs around, which is why I was thinking about using cyp instead. Mostly I'm wondering if anyone has experience using very low doses of it — like 100–200 mg. I don't want to crank my test way up to offset AI effects. If anyone has run on low‑dose EQ and can share how it felt or what happened, I'd appreciate it.

Can you explain what you mean by "EQ can mess you up a bit" and "counter the whole AI effect"?

I don't know first‑hand, just stuff I've heard — people crashing their E2 while on it. Folks usually run 1.5:1 or 1:1 test:EQ to try and prevent that, but if the minimum effective dose is 300 mg I don't want to push my test up to like 450. That's why I'm asking if anyone has used low doses for endurance. Anyone tracking this?

You'll probably crash at a 1:1 ratio. Start at 2:1 and get bloods.

Do you think 100 mg EQ would even do anything? I respond really well to test derivatives, so maybe that'll help. I want to be a beast — figured I'd experiment with these horse drugs.

I'd expect it to have some effect, but not sure that effect would be easy to quantify. Try it and report back, haha.

The idea that you need 300–400 mg EQ minimum is old bodybuilding bro‑myth. You can run it at 100–200 mg and still notice effects.

Hell yeah, that's the idea. Do you think it's worth trying cyp? I've heard it can cause nasty PIP.

At 100–150 mg I'd personally go with cyp. PIP shouldn't be bad at low doses and it gets into the system quicker.
