Hey guys,
Long-time lurker here. I’m 21 years old and have been training consistently since I was 15. I’ve always been on the leaner side with a poor appetite, which made bulking extremely difficult in my early years—especially being tall. For reference, I went from 72 kg at 6'5" at 15 years old to 100 kg flat at 6'7" at 21.
Putting on size never came easily, and appetite has always been the limiting factor more than training or consistency.
At 19, I first experimented with enclomiphene (12.5 mg) and MK-677 (15 mg) for around 3 months. The results were excellent—I went from 88 kg to 93 kg while staying relatively lean (~15–16% BF). I genuinely believe the biggest driver was appetite improvement, as food intake had always been my main bottleneck.
Fast forward to now at 21: I still use these compounds periodically and run consistent bloodwork. Below is a summary of what I’ve tracked over the past year (I’m missing a few minor entries):
Yes, the Anavar cycle was longer than ideal—I was overseas in Europe and wanted to look my best consistently. Not optimal, but being transparent.
Enclomiphene consistently pushes my total testosterone to ~1600 ng/dL, with elevated E2. I don’t experience gyno or other estrogen-related sides—just some facial bloat, which I’m not overly concerned about (especially since MK already causes some water retention).
More recently, my testosterone has taken a hit due to a temporary testicular torsion, which led to exploratory surgery where I was diagnosed with bell clapper deformity. I believe my testes are still recovering from that event.
Additionally, my reta use has clearly contributed to lower T, as I’ve been significantly underfed. Even with MK, appetite has been poor—I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight. I understand that running MK alongside a strong appetite suppressant like reta is counterintuitive; this was purely experimental and didn’t pan out. I’ll be discontinuing reta and likely moving to straight GH instead.
Appreciate any feedback and looking forward to contributing more going forward.

Background & Compound History
At 19, I first experimented with enclomiphene (12.5 mg) and MK-677 (15 mg) for around 3 months. The results were excellent—I went from 88 kg to 93 kg while staying relatively lean (~15–16% BF).

Fast forward to now at 21: I still use these compounds periodically and run consistent bloodwork. Below is a summary of what I’ve tracked over the past year (I’m missing a few minor entries):
Enclomiphene
- 12.5 mg ED, 1 month on / 1 week off
29/03/25 – 26/09/25 - 12.5 mg EOD, 1 month on / 1 week off
26/09/25 – 07/11/25 - 12.5 mg ED, no breaks
From 18/12/25
Anavar
- 20 mg ED – 09/05/25 – 02/06/25
- 40 mg ED – 02/06/25 – 07/07/25
Yes, the Anavar cycle was longer than ideal—I was overseas in Europe and wanted to look my best consistently. Not optimal, but being transparent.
MK-677
- 15 mg nightly – 29/03/25 – 02/06/25
- 15 mg nightly – From 09/11/25
Retatrutide (Reta)
- 1 mg – 24/11
- 1 mg – 30/11
- 1 mg – 06/12
- 2 mg – 12/12
- 1 mg – 18/12
