Episode notes
Prioritize Fat Loss Before Bigger Cycles
- Get lean before increasing testosterone doses or stacking compounds to reduce aromatase-driven estrogen issues.
- Use TRT (~180 mg) and GH initially for 12–16 weeks and only escalate injectables after bodyfat drops below ~20% (and monitor estradiol).
Use Anadrol Sparingly If At All
- Avoid frequent oral Anadrol dosing; limited twice-weekly low doses likely won't spike liver values but still increase BP, lipids, and hematocrit.
- Prefer Anavar or upping injectables, and reserve orals for short contest-prep bursts if used at all.

- Big Paul described a highs-and-lows contest prep: great progress until COVID and gut issues wrecked his last 10 days.
