Just food for thought.......
A lot of guys assume the negative side effects of test such as excess bloating and what not is directly related to the exogenous testosterone's fault when in fact they are missing the truth and key factor. Yes, taking testosterone can cause you to bloat more than normal, "CAN" being the key word, the word isn't "WILL" it is "CAN." The simple truth is nine times out of ten the excess bloat can be avoided and/or eliminated. When you're taking exogenous test, keep your diet reasonable if you're susceptible to uncomfortable bloat. If you're taking in more carbs than you need you'll bloat, if you're taking in more carbs than you need and taking exogenous testosterone you will bloat even more...this is just the way it is.
Simple solutions, if you're taking exogenous testosterone and I don't care if it's 500mg/wk, 1,000mg/wk or whatever number you want to throw in there, if you're bloating you can correct this very easily with diet, a small dose of an AI and you can be a little more lenient with diet when it comes to bloating.
Best off-season cycle on earth IMO, Test, Tren-a and dbol, add in HGH and then it's the real deal. And I don't care what anyone says about "this guy they know" or "this guy they heard about" yes, some guys will look good on cycles of no test or very low test, but when it comes to hardcore bodybuilding, national level or pro, they are taking testosterone and taking a butt load.
