I’ve learned for myself at least that the two times I tried out 4 andro’s that I’ve never been able to get my total testosterone level up even for a short period of time. Only thing that has gone up during cycle for me is my free testosterone. And naturally results I had last before ever messing with my endocrine system was 9 pg/ml for free t. Looks like brutal4ce was able to get me into the 40’s and previously with andriol I was able to get into the 60-70s. Now cool thing I noticed was the mental effects came sooner from brutal4ce than it did with andriol which makes sense for the difference in andriols undecanoate and brutal4ce multi ester blend. Now chosen-1 was pretty badass. I really liked the hardening effects from the 1 andro. I would definitely run this again and maybe at a higher dose as well. Just double it up. After I finished this cycle I already planned to start working on diy a trt dose for myself so I’m currently doing that right now. On my second week of 100mg testosterone enanthate injected twice weekly subq. Will get labs tested again at the month mark to see where we’re at then act accordingly from there. Once I can get this dialed in I’ll try out chosen-1 again at double the dose and maybe throw in pink magic as well as I really liked the feeling you get from it with the epi andro.
