Its my third week running the above performance enhancing drugs. I intend to keep the testosterone at 250mg throughout cycle.
*Before cycle, I used to have amazing sleep. Deep quality sleep. I monitored my sleep closely by removing caffeine, consuming ZMA and trying as many natural remedies as possible. I've had great sleep over the past 2-3 years.
Its my third week on cycle and my sleep has been absolutely terrible. I wake up around 20 times at night and my body is unable to get into a deep prolonged state of sleep. Im also sleeping later around 1-2am in the morning as Im struggling to drift off to sleep. There has been a noticeable increase in my body rate and heart rate. I leave the window open and use lighter duvets to help remedy this.
*The only interesting thing is, I feel like I have a lot more energy and dont feel as terrible during the day as I would if I was not on steroids. For example, if I had two nights of poor sleep (before steroids), I would literally have very bad mental health. E.g paranoia and over thinking, lethargy etc. Having said that, I still do not feel 100% and dont feel rejuvenated whilst currently on steroids.
Any ideas how to improve sleep? Im thinking of adding in Reta next week and maybe I should remove the Primo? Im not sure. Im also prepared to stop the cycle all togethor as sleep is very important to me. I wanted an improvement in overall health.
I was considering moving the primo up to 300-400mg but im also considering against this due to the bad sleep. My preference is to use low doses and rely on solid training, a good diet and sleep to support gains. Also since I havent done a cycle in 14 years, I wanted to see how my body responds to these low doses. If you would like more details please see below.
Age-32
Height-6ft
Weight-94kg
Carrying quite a bit of bodyweight around midsection and chest. But look athletic, smart in clothes.
-Training history:
-been training since 13 years old.
-Been lifting weights and exercising for most of my life consistently with a good idea of nutritional requirements and training requirements.
-Cycle history:
I did two cycles when I was 17 and 18 respectively. Both cycles were: Test, Tren and Mast. The only difference being the longer and shoeter esters. One was a bulking cycle and the other was cutting.
-This is my first anabolic steroids cycle in 14 years. I've been training naturally since and have plateaued.
Current cycle:
-250mg Test Enanthate
-200mg Primobolan
-HCG 500ius per week
-All doses are divided into 2 shots throughout the week.
-Cycle length-16-20 weeks
Cycle aims and goals:
-Body recomposition/Cut
-Lose body fat and ideally gain muscle
-Develop an aesthetic and athletic physique
-Gain more energy in order to be more productive as I am a business owner
-To obtain stable mood levels overall as my mood is up and down
-Im also considering TRT in the near future as I have been slightly under the low end on the reference range for arpund 6 years now.
-I will do a PCT and see how my body is for 6 months or so at lower body fat levels and will assess things. I have already explored TRT with online clinics and may commence this journey in the future.
I will carry out bloods every four weeks.
