Compound Guide
Ester: Acetate -- 2-carbon chain ester. Very short half-life requiring daily or EOD injection. Peak levels within hours, allowing rapid dose titration.
Dosage:
- Low dose (recomp): 150-250 mg/week
- Enhancement: 300-400 mg/week for 6-8 weeks (experienced users)
- No TRT/cruise application -- Tren is not a base compound
Injection Protocol:
- Inject daily or EOD for stable levels
- 27-29g needle, 0.5-1 inch, delts/VG/quads
Key Notes:
- One of the most powerful AAS -- 5x the anabolic and androgenic rating of testosterone
- Does NOT aromatise but has strong progestogenic activity (can still cause gyno via prolactin)
- Monitor prolactin closely -- have Cabergoline on hand
- Known side effects: night sweats, insomnia, increased aggression, cardiovascular strain, "tren cough"
- Severely impacts lipids -- HDL often crashes to near-zero; limit cycle length
- Acetate ester preferred over Enanthate because sides clear faster if dropped
- Not recommended for first-time users or those prioritising health
