Advice?

Hey everyone. I'm 230, 6 foot, about 15% body fat, and on my 8th month using test. I started at 200/week split into 100/twice weekly into my glute. I did this my first 3 months, then went to 300/weekly, now I'm at 500/week. I get 200 in one deltoid on Wednesdays, then 300 into the other on Saturdays. I never used any anti-e or other gear this entire time; however, about 3 weeks ago my face and hair became extra oily, even after showers, my wife noticed my hair thinning in areas, and I was experiencing nausea and vertigo. A former coach instructed me to take Anastrozole every 2 days until I felt better.

I now am better, but wonder if this means my test dosage is too high?

Also, do I need to always take an anti-e regularly? Or only in such instances side effects present?

On a final note, I am looking to get my test level checked soon, what is an ideal level to be at for a 33 year old bulking bodybuilder, healthily?

Any other advice is highly welcomed. I use 23 gauge 1/2" needles in deltoids, one in each per week, 2 injections total per week, totaling 500mg/weekly.

I started TRT in January after blood testing showed 3 consecutive low test readings: 180, 140, and 230. I once stopped treatment for 3.5 weeks and it was 84.

The form of test I use is testosterone cyponate. 200 mg weekly from my physician, 300 mg weekly on my own mid-week, imported.

Thanks!

What are you trying to do here? I think you should stick to your trt protocol and get that sorted out before considering cycling. The normal range for testosteron at your age would be 300-1100 ng/dl for the total testosteron reading. Yes it's important to run an ai to keep estrogen in range

Thank you for your response. I understand your concern. I was thinking that the 200 weekly prescribed for me was only bringing me to low range of normal. I thought getting to a higher anabolic range would be ideal?

So, if I stop my weekly 500 to 200 this week will it affect me dropping so fast and so much? Or should I step down?
