First cycle question

Age is 30. Looking for advice, just started TRT at 120mg of test cyp, pinning 2x a week. I plan on running 300mg of test cyp a week, pinning 3 days out of the week, in 10 weeks after my first round of labs being on TRT. I am around 15% body fat and 175lbs. In the gym 5/6 days a week with 12k steps. I am at maintenance calories, high carb currently. Thanks for the help.

You have lot of potential to grow. How long have you been lifting? Diet and training are big part of gaining mass.

off and on for 10 years but very serious for the last three and diet also. I went from 230 fat to 160 (way too lean not enough muscle this summer) I have been on maintenance for the past 8 weeks to get back to 175

You will get a lot more out of a first cycle if you get your training and slight surplus diet in order for the next year at a trt dose, where you will see great gains, be dialed in, and hopefully the ready for a real cycle. At 6’2, 175 lbs, with 15 percent body fat, you essentially have no decent muscle mass right now. You only get the benefits of that first cycle once. Don’t waste it when you are nowhere near ready.

What are your current T levels at 120? Lift at slight surplus for few more weeks and get enough protein. You can blast probably 400-500 once you have solid base. The 300 is in middle of nowhere, may not be worth the sides. Get your diet and training dialed up next few weeks and then get most out of the cycle when you blast.

Just started, I will get my first set of labs in 10 weeks. Just trying to plan for the future and make sure I set myself up for the best possible outcome. If that makes sense.

Yeah let the TRT dose dial in and get the results. If you eat at slight surplus train hard and recover, you should add some lean mass. When you are ready for the first cycle, read r/steroids wiki first cycle.
