Advice for my upcoming cycle

Hey folks, apologies if I mess up here. I’m Italian and seeking some guidance on my next cycles. Right now, I’m on testosterone enanthate (500 mg/week) along with 30 mg of Dianabol. I’ll wrap up this cycle in two weeks and want to maintain testosterone as my foundation but switch out Dianabol for another compound. What do you suggest? I’ve experimented with various compounds without any bad reactions. I’m not overly worried about my body fat percentage at this point; I actually want to gain more mass, even if it means adding a bit of body fat temporarily. My current weight is 83 kg, I’m 180 cm tall, and I’m 35 years old.

How long have you been on this cycle? Are you getting labs now? You need to understand the effects this cycle has had on your health, and you should take some off time. Don’t rush into replacing the Dianabol.

I’ll run this cycle for two months (before this, I’d been off for about three months), finishing around mid-September. So, should I just stick with testosterone for a while?

Once you finish, get your labs done. Then, either reduce to a true TRT dose (~100 mg/week to start) or go for a proper PCT cycle. The time between cycles should match the length of the previous cycle or until your lab results are all good again. For now, focus on finishing what you’re currently doing before deciding to cruise or go TRT. But if you’re not getting regular bloodwork, none of this really matters; you’re just taking chances.

I’d recommend cruising on a standard TRT dosage for a bit before going for a long-term oral. Gotta keep your health in check, brother.

If I get blood tests, can I share the results here for your feedback? When do you think I should get them done? Right after my cycle ends, or a few weeks later?

Yeah, you’ll get a lot of feedback if you share your bloodwork. I prefer to get it done right before starting a cycle and immediately after. You don’t want to delay; you need to check if the AAS has negatively affected any markers, which will help you decide how much more or less to take next time. Or if you need to think about adding some ancillaries. But definitely get the bloodwork done right when you finish and share the results.

I’ll handle that; I’ll post them as soon as I get the results.

Yeah, consider dropping down to a TRT cruise dosage (100-125 mg a week). It's important to learn how to keep your gains after a cycle. You will lose some of them, but if you keep training hard, eating right, and resting well, you’ll preserve a good portion of what you gained. The best move would be to get some lab tests done. In any case, take a break for a couple of months to let your body reset. Continuously pushing high doses isn’t good. Even if everyone else seems to be doing it, prioritize your health.
