Compounds used: Testosterone Enanthate 250 mg/week, Nandrolone Decanoate 200 mg/week, Trenbolone Acetate roughly 20 mg/week (microdose). Running it 8 weeks so far. How I feel: energy is solid, libido stable (had to manage E2 with a small AI). At 20 mg Tren I haven't noticed wild aggression or paranoia — just a slight increase in focus and a bit more of an "alpha" gym presence. Sleep is alright with magnesium. Weight/size: put on about 4–5 kg of lean mass. Strength, especially on compound lifts, has gone up a lot. Muscles feel harder and denser (credit the Tren). Appetite has increased (mainly from Test/Nand), but the Tren keeps metabolism up so I'm not accumulating fat. Body fat has edged down a bit — Tren seems to help with nutrient partitioning so I look drier and more vascular. PIP/acne: no PIP from Test E; got some back acne flare-ups, managing that with skincare. Other notes: recovery between sessions is great. Shipping to France took exactly 10 days, packaging was discreet. Gear appears legit based on strength improvements and bloodwork.

Two 19-nors on a first cycle is a bold choice, even if the doses are low. Test-only for your first run so you can judge how you respond to a dose and dial in E2 — that becomes your benchmark for later cycles. Highly unlikely (almost impossible) you put on 11 lbs of pure muscle in eight weeks while dropping body fat. Sorry man.

Could be newbie gains — guy was born in 2007, right? Also there's no info on how long he'd been training before starting the cycle.

20 mg of Tren A per week isn't going to do much. With that half-life it'll clear too quickly. If this is real, your gains probably came from the Testosterone and maybe the Deca — I'm calling BS on the Tren effect. Also, first-time users should run Testosterone only to see how their body reacts and to set a baseline.

Maybe a dumb question, but why did you pick enanthate over cypionate? I thought they're pretty much the same. Is it just that cypionate is more common in the US and enanthate in Europe?
