Hello everyone,
I’m 42 years old, weigh 195lbs, and have an estimated body fat of around 15%. I’ve been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for about 15 months now and recently adjusted my TRT dose to 100mg of Testosterone Cypionate and 1mg of Anastrozole per week. I had blood work done yesterday to get baseline levels before I start my new cycle, and I'll update everyone on the results soon.
A little background: I’ve suspected for years that I had low testosterone, which probably contributed to the difficulty I had gaining muscle despite regular lifting. It wasn’t until later in life that I got my levels tested. After working with my doctor to dial in my TRT, I feel like I’m in a much better spot, but I’m now ready to take it a step further with my first real cycle.
My goals for this cycle are to gain lean muscle while avoiding drastic size increases (I’m not looking to blow up overnight and have people asking questions). My approach is going to be gradual and focused on steady, clean progress. I’m also cautious about side effects—especially since I’ve dealt with gynecomastia in the past—and I plan to do a “blast and cruise” type of cycle to stay within safer limits and avoid injury.
I also want to keep this process as safe and manageable as possible, which is why I’ve opted for a relatively conservative approach for my first cycle. Below is my plan, and I’m open to any feedback or suggestions from the community!

Cycle Plan (12 Weeks):
- Testosterone Cypionate: 250mg per week
- Boldenone Undecylenate (Equipoise): 500mg per week
- Turinabol: 20–40mg per day for 6–7 weeks (pending delivery)
- Anastrozole: 1mg per week (or as needed, depending on estrogen levels)
Gear:
- Test Cypionate 250 (Geneza Pharma)
- Boldenone 300 (Geneza Pharma)
- Turinabol 20 (Para Pharma) - On the way
- Arimidex 1mg (Para Pharma) - On the way
- Proviron 25 (Para Pharma) - On the way
- Anadrol 50 (Para Pharma) - On the way (just for future cycles)

I’m taking a conservative approach with the Turinabol to minimize sides and will run it for no longer than 7 weeks since I only have 100 pills. I’ll start it as soon as it arrives. I’m also considering adding in Proviron and Anadrol later down the line, but I’m keeping those for future cycles or in case I need to adjust my plan.
Injection Schedule:
- Monday: 250mg Boldenone (EQ)
- Thursday: 250mg EQ + 250mg Test Cypionate

I’m splitting the doses into two weekly injections to keep the blood levels more stable and make the most of the compounds.

Training Plan:
I follow a 6-day Push/Pull/Legs (PPL) split. Sometimes, I take an extra day off depending on how my body feels, but I always pick up where I left off. I’ve been focusing on proper form, lowering reps, and increasing the weight. Lately, I’ve also been experimenting with slow and controlled movements, as I feel this approach has been giving me solid results.

Diet:
This is where I’m really struggling. Nutrition has never been my strong suit, and I know I have a tendency to overindulge in junk food. I’m working on improving my diet by sticking to healthier, cleaner options, but it’s been a challenge. I’m aware that a good diet is essential for getting the most out of this cycle, so if anyone has tips or suggestions for someone who’s not great with meal planning, I’m all ears!

Final Thoughts:
Thanks to everyone who has been so welcoming and supportive on this forum. I’m excited to document my progress here and learn from all of you along the way. I know this post might be a bit rough, but I’m open to any advice or feedback as I start my cycle. I’ll be starting this cycle today! 💪👊
 
Week 6 Check-In


I’m now six weeks into the cycle, and overall, things are going really well. Weight is sitting at around 202 lbs, and I’m starting to look noticeably fuller in the upper chest, shoulders, and arms. Strength is up across the board, and I’m finally starting to feel that “on” feeling everyone talks about. Nothing crazy or unnatural-looking—just a solid, steady improvement, which is exactly what I wanted going into this.

Cycle Update


Still running the original plan:
  • 250mg Test Cyp / week
  • 500mg Boldenone (EQ) / week
  • Turinabol: Started at 20mg/day, bumped up to 40mg/day after 10 days. I’m about 3.5 weeks in on it now, planning to stop at the 7-week mark as planned.
Also started Proviron at 25mg/day about a week ago to see how I respond. So far, I like it—libido and mood are both up, and I feel a bit drier, which is nice.

No signs of estrogen-related issues yet, so I’ve kept Anastrozole at 1mg/week. Bloods will confirm soon if that needs to change, but I’ve had zero bloat and no nipple sensitivity so far.

Training

Still sticking to the 6-day PPL split. Strength has gone up noticeably, especially in pressing movements. Bench is up about 15lbs already, and incline DBs feel way more solid than they did at the start of the cycle. I’m being careful not to chase ego lifts though—form is still the priority, and I’m doing lots of slow negatives and pause reps to stay injury-free.Back day has been the best recently—feeling a crazy mind-muscle connection and pumps are ridiculous lately. It’s probably a combo of the Turinabol and EQ doing their thing.


Diet

Nutrition’s still a bit of a work in progress, but I’ve made some changes that are helping. I cut way down on the junk and have been meal prepping 3-4 times a week to stay on track. Been keeping protein up (~220g/day), and carbs are around 350–400g, mostly from rice, oats, fruit, and potatoes. Fats are moderate, mainly from olive oil, eggs, and nuts.I’m not tracking macros super tight, but I’m eating way more consistently than before. It’s showing too—less bloat, more energy, and way better digestion overall. Still not perfect, but I’m improving every week.

Other Notes

  • Sleep has been solid—7-8 hours per night. Proviron might be helping with that too.
  • No sides so far worth mentioning—no hair loss, acne, or major mood swings. Libido is strong.
  • I’ve been keeping up with regular walks and light cardio 2x per week to help with appetite and general recovery.

What’s Next

I’ll continue with the current protocol through week 12 unless something changes. Still not planning to add Anadrol this cycle—it’s staying in the stash for now. I’m more focused on clean gains and learning how my body responds to these compounds before introducing anything stronger.
Bloodwork should be back next week, so I’ll post those results once they’re in. Really curious to see where everything’s sitting, especially E2 and hematocrit.
Also open to advice from anyone who's run a similar Test + EQ + Tbol cycle—curious how others structure PCT (or cruise) after something like this, especially if you’re staying on TRT long-term like I am.

Appreciate the support so far. Will post another update around week 8.
