    just curious.. wouldn't your cruising dose be weight dependent? eg: a 6ft 200 lbs guy could cruise on say 100-150mg /week. but if a 6ft 250 lbs guy cruised at that dose he would loose some LBM? so would probably cruise at a higher dose, say 150-250mg/week??

    thoughts?

    Just depends on how fast the body metabolizes it everyone is different.

    250 test e. At that dose it allows me to recover ie BP, RBC, lipids, etc. which is important IMO.

    No AI but my e does stay on the high side.

    Most men can be at TRT 'NORMAL' range at 100mg every 5-7 days.

    Maybe for some. My clinic txs with 200mg/wk. if my blood work shows my testosterone is less than 600, I supplement with 50-75mg to try and keep my test in the 700-800 range.

    True, but for some, that normal maybe 350-450 and some TRT clinics are happy with that. Clients may not be.

    That's the important / intelligent part if your going to cruise. Allowing your body to somewhat normalize.

    Sgt if you E runs high why not drop down a bit? Are you twice per week injecting or once out of curiosity?

    250 puts me in just under 1200. Inject twice a week.

    E stays under 100 but varies a lot. No AI because tbh I feel better when it's higher. When it gets low end of ref range I feel terrible but high end and even a little beyond I feel great.

    Nice. Good level. Have you had your PSA checked in the last year? Was it normal range with your testosterone that high?

    Sarge be careful with the estrogen. It's a killer:

    Interesting thread. I have been at 125mgs once a week for TRT. Self prescribed though, as my doc has me on topical that keeps me in the 350range. Not high enough for my liking, but he likes me there. After reading all if this, I will up it to 200ish, or 187.5mgs to be exact. Good stuff.

    Excellent Sgt. Effects of exogenous test on PSA are often forgotten by many but it is important. Rising E2 levels impact prostate health as well.

    I've read that before, thanks for the reminder.

    I'm pretty sure it's hcg that causes it to be high, I just run it as needed and tend to aromatize a lot from it even when on cycle and AI. If I could just come to terms with having pea sized nuts I'd be fine......

    My TRT dose is 200mg/wk Test Cyp. No AI needed. 400iu hCG twice a week.

    This puts my Test levels around 1,000.

    My total protocol is:

    Cyp 60mg x 2 per week keeps me at the top of the range.
    HCG 250 IU M-W-F
    No AI needed as my E runs inherently low at 16. When I added DHEA micronized it brought it up to 23 which is great for me.
