Have your friend get a blood test. Prolonged tren use will almost always obliterate HDL levels. I've personally seen my own HDL as low as 11 after being on tren. Now of course things will be dose and duration dependent. But it surely is the tren. Been getting mulitple bloodtests per year done for the last 5 years. So I've got a very clear picture of what almost every aas compound will do to be. Now sure maybe not everyone will respond the way I do but for me 500mg a week of tren is more damaging to the majority of my blood work numbers than 2G of test a week. Coming completely off tren is advisable as in just 30 days with proper diet and cardio those HDL numbers can re generate rather quickly. IME bouncing between 25-50mg of tren per day all year will not provide the break needed for recovery but will have enough of a cumulative effect to destroy lipids and impact other vital bloodwork numbers.
As always the bottom line is getting the bloodwork done. Twice a year is mandatory. Three times is even better. And if you never come off or hop from one set of compounds to another I'd be getting bloodwork every 2-3 months. The more exogenous compounds one uses for a longer duration the more that person needs to know exactly what is happening inside them. Bloodtests are invaluable. Only the worst kind of fool does not follow some sort of protocol for tracking numbers on and off various aas compounds. Its the exact reason I use Excel spreadsheets to tracking my blasts and cruises. Its also what led to modify my blast and cruise methodology twice over the last 4 years to now include mandatory off time and or genuine trt dosing levels. If someone wants to say 250mg a week of test is their cruise they can call it that but that is not a homeostatic recovery dose. Just as 25mg of tren daily and no less, year round is not.
I rarely surface these days to get on this soapbox as so few listen, but perhaps one ignorant person will have their eyes opened that makes this fifteen minute effort of mine worth it in that case.
So by all means by the game. Use tren. But remember the winner is he who has the most muscle the longest. Know what you can take and how long you can take it. Know how long you must be off certain compounds for recovery sake.
Problem is if you chime in you open yourself up to a lot of ridicule and for what? Sharing your experience for others to benefit from.
Anyways.
I have more or less been on tren for 1-1.5 years with 2-3 breaks of 3-5 weeks tops. Doses vary from 50mg up to 300mg ED. Just recently went back on and frontloaded 3-4 grams of tren e/tren ace in 4-5 days. Only sides I got from that frontload was lethargy and sweating.
Going to be running 2100-2800mg a week for atleast the next 4+ weeks.
When I first started tren even 25mg ED gave me alot of sides. Didnt feel right on it mentally, sweat a ton, hard to control my emotions. Now... I dont feel right when I am not on tren. Not to say I require it to function, merely that I feel completely normal on tren now, if anything it enhances my personality and I much more calm and in control while using tren.
In the past I have only used 200mg ED as my max, so cant really comment on what 3-400mg ED will do as this is the first time I have experimented with this dose.
Bloodwork. Only gotten it done twice in the past 1.5 years, once after 4 weeks off tren and once while in the 7th week of 200mg ED. Both times everything came back normal except my kidney values were a tad off on the 200mg ED. That said, higher doses of tren or longer duration runs of tren definately put my body in a vulnerable state. What I mean by that is if I get a cold it will take me twice as long to get rid of it, if I go have a few beers ( this is an example, I actually hate beer ) then it will stress my liver harder then if I werent on tren, if I abuse diuretics my kidneys will get hit alot harder then if I werent on tren. Make sense? For me personally, when I am on tren it doesnt directly negatively impact my body but it does lower my bodys defenses so to speak.
The one true side effect I experience from tren that bothers me is how it effects my relationships with girlfriends. It enhances my all or nothing outlook and if I am given a reason, if I am hurt by a girl or we are fighting etc I can become very detatched and numb and act impulsively. Likewise, if things are good I can become incredibly attatched. Its really hard to explain but all in all you have to really learn to think rationally, not emotionally when it comes to tren and relationship issues.
Hope this helps someone, if you dont believe anything I said or you dont agree... I dont care lol. No disrespect meant of course but its just my personal experience and your all welcome to take it or leave it.
That's a great post! Don't worry about posting, there are a couple of fucktards here that like to argue, just ignore them. But I know what u mean about calming u down, I'm a little hot headed normally not bad but a little, but when I take tren I'm a completely different person. Calm, easy going, I guess it's like Ritalin, for ADHD. I don't know but JMO!
