Okay I finally did a cycle, just a small one the first time - 250 mg test cyp/wk and 200 mg eq/wk with double EQ frontloading the first two weeks. I'm really satisfied with the results, 5 1/2 weeks in and I'm up almost 13 pounds, with no visible loss in body tone. Also, I got the test flu really bad the first two weeks and couldn't work out, so gains would probably have been higher if I hadn't been sick. Anyway, what puzzles me the most is the fact that there doesn't seem to be any/much supression. I was waiting for my balls to turn into little raisins, but it just didn't happen. Actually, they feel the same. Maybe slighty atrophied, but not so much I can notice it. And ejaculatory volume feels the same as before too. Has anyone else noted similar results? Should I use reduced HCG post therapy ( 1-2 shots total ) or maybe none if there doesn't seem to be any atrophy@week 8?
I wouldn't expect noticeable atrophy at 5 1/2 weeks. Also, there is not necessarily a correlation between atrophy and test suppression. Keep your PCT as planned.
250 is right, your balls may not shrink at all. Mine dont until I hit about 12-16 weeks, and then not into "raisins"... Your body WILL shut down regardless of what your balls are doing. PCT should be as normal.
