Thank you guys for taking the time to reply.
White Widow- I agree with upping the GH during the cruise, probably to 8 iu. I am considering switching to pep's gh for my next big purchase, because it is cheaper, frankly. And it would be affordable to run up to 10 iu of his stuff, so after my kigs I might do that, but I will definitely up the iu to 8 during my cruise, and then reflect upon whether or not to lower them again to 5 or to remain at 8 once the blast resumes.
Aesthetics- You bring up a lot of good points. At some point this kind of "cruise" really does become another man's cycle. My issue is that I am at a point where I don't respond to small doses of AAS anymore, and due to ignorance, I never understood the importance of GH. I listened to all these morons that told me that GH would do nothing for me, and I also was burned twice when I was young with fake blues (this left a bad taste in my mouth about GH, although obviously I was just bitter about getting burned). However, I did have a very positive experience with a run of 100 iu of serostim in my early 20s. However, I digress... I am very interested in how exactly you run tren as your cruise dose? Do you also run some test with it? I think I want to try this. I agree with you fully in theory that anadrol is too bloofy for the cruise. On the converse, running tren at a low dosage seems perfect for a cruise. I am not worried about getting "shut down". I am going to be shut down for life and I am a permanent HRT patient when I get older; in other words, I'm all in.
What does your cruise look like exactly, like what dose of tren do you take, and do you shoot ED, and who much test and what kind do you run with the tren (do you run test at all with it in your cruise?).
PS. After the cruise is done I plan to do a heavy EQ based cycle for 6 months or so (gram of EQ; test e dose not decided yet; possibly a third compound which I have not decided upon).
well, cruising isn't really that complex, i think you are over-analyzing it and over complicating the issue. i feel great on tren, and i like the effects it has so i prefer to run that over other compounds for HRT. since it's tren-a i dose ED or EOD, yeah, but i can understand if you want to take a break from pinning though, it can be tedious. if you wanted to cruise on tren then tren-e would be a more ideal.
my dosage is a lot higher than what a legitimate "cruise" or hrt dosage would be, i run about 200-300 a week, depending on how often i pin. with tren-a you can keep your blood levels pretty stable pinning EoD but for me i get a placebo effect when i pin ED so i prefer it that way (even though it probably doesn't make a meaningful difference). with a slin pin it isn't a hassle, just backload one and the oil actually flows easier and faster than through a 3cc syringe.
i don't run test anymore, i've effectively sworn off test and i don't think i'll ever run it again since no matter what i do on test it gives me worse hairloss than any other hormone while only giving 1/2 the gains. i use HCG pretty regularly, and it mimics the effects of LH, which will actually produce endogenous test and the subsequent conversion to estrogen, so that area is covered and i don't feel the need to run anything else during a cruise except tren + hcg. admittedly, i haven't been lifting very consistently or seriously lately, when i do lift it's been very sporadic but if i anticipate a real heavy workout, on the day prior i'll double my tren dosage and then on the day of lifting i'll run 50mg d-bol and 100mg var. since, at the moment i'm only lifting occasionally, it works pretty well to simply dose orals on the day i lift and then abstaining until the next time. that way i can reap a lot of the benefits from orals without as great of a negative impact on the liver.
anyways, ultimately, what dosages people should run is not a quantifiable answer that will apply to everyone. people will respond and react to steroids and dosages differently. there's no realistic way to use one person's steroid dosage and apply it to everyone with the expectation that it will produce the same results. best thing to do is just try different compounds, at different dosages and see how you feel and react. also, i don't think there is any need to run testosterone during a cruise because like i stated previously, HCG will yield estrogen if you were running a non-aromatising steroid for hrt.
few things i want to add:
my dick works perfectly fine when running just tren by itself
my libido actually goes down more from running high dosages of hgh due to the increase in prolactin
if you are going to run a gram of EQ or cruise on EQ bridged into a high dose of EQ, then try to eat a grapefruit a day as it will help keep your hematocrit levels down. my hematocrit was perfectly within range (slightly on the high side) when running over a gram of eq for a few months, but then again i don't know if it was due to the grapefruit or simply that i don't get high hematocrit levels from EQ. however, i know that grapefruit does help to keep hematocrit levels within normal range.
