No sides from MENT - what’s my next move? (cycle report)
Currently 20 weeks into 250 test, last week I decided to throw in a low dose of MENT thanks to seemingly positive anecdotal reports.
3mg Trestolone Acetate daily, pinning delts with a slin pin 1-2 hours preworkout, so around 20mg MENT weekly. Eating at true maintenance.
Over the past 7 days I have noticed:
-Insane size and fullness. It looks like I’ve put on 5lbs of lean tissue
-Looking 1-2% leaner despite no weight gain and negligible weight loss (within a pound or two, varies)
-Dry AF idk who calls this a wet compound but even at 15-16% bodyfat it makes my muscles look fuller and harder, more striated.
-Stretch marks growing at a faster rate than before
-Negligible strength gains, but stronger muscular contractions & can flex way harder
-No increase in appetite
-Mild increase in BP (only up to the low 130s sys normal dia) but I also ran out of bp meds this week so that may have contributed.
-No anxiety or high E2 mental sides
-No gyno
-Higher libido (frequency not intensity) and no ED
-Very minimal aggression, no rage just getting pissed off more frequently.
-Mild blue / melancholic / anhedonic feeling, but also started 5mg accutane last week so that could be contributing
-So obviously no acne
TLDR if the positives are brutally outweighing the negatives at 3mg day / 21mg a week, how long should I sit at this dose before titrating up? And with the short ester it should be pretty easy to drop my dose down if I accidentally go up too high correct?
Does increasing in 1mg increments make the most sense? For example 4mg daily/28mg weekly next week, then 5mg daily/35mg weekly the week after, etc etc
