My first blast on TRT suggestions anyone?

**JohnM1987** · 02-22-2015, 11:20 AM

Hello everyone.

I am currently doc prescribed trt at 100mg/week of test e.
I am blasting Deca at 400mg/week split into two pins on thursday and sunday.
So my injections look like this- 200mg deca + 50mg test e twice per week.

This is my first cycle of any kind as I naturally don't produce enough testosterone .
I will be using the deca for 15 weeks at the above stated dose.
I believe the results will be good (Bulking) as my diet and training are on point. I will be starting at a 500 calorie surplus with my macros at 450g carbs, 350g protein, 100g fat.
I have arimidex but will only start to use this if needed.

Quick stats:
27 years old
6'3
195 pounds
12% bf

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm no trt expert but to get more advice. ...

How long have you been on trt?

I would have chosen this for your first cycle:

My First Cycle: Planning and Executing a Successful First Cycle

What is your AI protocol?
Are you running caber?
Curious what put you on TRT at 27?

Thats a lot of decca for such low test. I know most pros look at 2 to 1 testosterone to decca and most on trt are around 1 to 1.

Haven't been on trt very long. I realize I should be waiting to be dialed in but I am ok with starting now so that shouldn't be an issue for anyone else even tho I assume it may be..

Yes I have read this article.

As stated above I have adex but was going to not use it unless needed. I have read from numerous people that if you take deca at a higher dose then test you "shouldn't" have any sides or minimal at least. I figured I would try this out and see how my body reacts to it.
I am not running caber but I do have prami.
Well I am not sure what put me on trt. I had an MRI last week and will be seeing doc this week I assume to go over results (possible Pituitary Gland trouble/brain tumor)

Yes I have read that too, a lot of people would agree with your statement. But I have also read that a lot of people dose higher deca to low test with great results. Many I have read tried it and will never go back. That being said, I am trying this out and will go with how my body reacts.

Wait, so you're not even dialed in on TRT and you've started this already?
Any past cycle experience?

It seems that there is no quandary here.

Thats what I got out of all this also, plus that my guess the TRT was just a precursor to getting test to cycle due to age.

If Im wrong then please explain how you ended up with low T at your age? What you did to try to increase it naturally or re start it?

This isn't a blast OP, this is a train wreck. Very poorly thought out first cycle and is much more of a detriment than a help. I would cease the deca immediately and wait until your TRT levels were dialed in and you felt good.

How your body metabolizes testosterone is going to be subjective, as it is to all of us as individuals. 100mg may only bring your levels to baseline, while running deca, something extremely suppressive, you're never going to truly know how your dosage works for your body.
