i know it's not totally relevant, but look at the track athletes from the 80's.
most didnt use test, they used stanolozol or nandrolones solely, based on the drug testing results. they had big performance jumps, were muscular and lean, worked out crazy hard, and didn't suffer from the sides mentioned when on test.
personally i did tren cycles only back around 7 years ago and felt fine. in fact i got such good results it kinda scared me at the time.
