On HRT… Thinking about Blast and Cruise

Hey guys. I normally post over in the HRT forum, but for this topic I thought I would get better responses and be more on topic over here.

First a little bit about me. I have been on HRT for about a year now. I am Current Stats: I am 46 years old 5’7 166lbs. (12.2%bf)

Current Protocol:
Cypionate - 100mg a week (split into 2 shots a week)
Anastrozole – .25mg 2x a week.
HCG - (250iu 2 times a week)
Armour Thyroid - 60mg daily
Vitamin D3 9,000iu
Zocor 5mg
DHEA 50mg
Donate Blood every 3 months.

I am thinking about trying a blast starting in the middle of Feb. after my next BW/doctor visit. My goals is to gain the most muscle possible. With my current prescription I will have enough extra Test Cyp. To do up to 500 mg for 8 weeks and then could do 200mg indefinitely based on my prescription.

Questions:
Is a blast something worth considering?
What kind of bad things could happen?
What kind of results have y’all gotten with a blast?
What kind of calculation do you do to figure out what your AI should be given your cruise AI amount?
I wouldn’t have access, but just wander if you ever add anything else to your Blast protocol?

Thanks for any input!

500mg EW for 8 weeks would be a nice blast. Your AI could be bumped to EOD to start at your current dose and moniter.

Results will be based on your diet and commitment to the gym!

Bad things...there are some known sides associated with excess test but most can be kept under controll by the use of the AI. Keep an eye on the BP!

You can drop right back down to your TRT dose after your blast!

Oh, forgot to ask in the OP as far as diet, how may Calories should I be looking at getting in a day for maximum results in the blast?

I would post that up in the nutrition section for the most informed answers...obviously it will depend on your TDEE and your goals!

If you're bulking, at least 2700, if you're cutting, 1700. These numbers are based on your stats (if they're accurate) uisng LBM x 15 formula. But you will need to play with it to get it perfect. You'll need the nutrition sections help to break down macro nutrients.

Wouldn't a 40/40/20 method on macros be best in this case?

You can achive good results with a blast as long as diet and exercise are on point

Would like the idea of trying for 12 if everything is going okay, but I don't have enough on hand on my script.

I am currently taking 100mg a week, but my script is for 200mg. After the 8 @ 500 I could do 4 @ 200 before I go back to 100mg.

4 weeks at 200 is still a trt dose...waste to even mess with it. 8 weeks is fine!

HUH? I have no idea what this comment means but if you are trying to get my attention..... You have

Tman the initial advice by Lunk is all you need. Choose how much you can do and go from there adjusting your AI accordingly. Remember your gains are determined by your nutrition and training. All the aas out there won't help if those two items on on point. You'd see a nice difference just doubling your TRT dose with the proper training & nutrition. Totally your call.

Kel, Thanks for chiming in. As far as the AI. Is there formula to take what it takes to control me at 100 MG and project what it would take at Say 500?

No. We all aromatize at different rates based on many physiological factors. People only have so much aromatase enzyme within them. It does not exponentially increase with the amount of aas used like many think. Avg AI dose at 500mg per week is .25 eod. This is where BW, even through a private lab is worthwhile.

I blast and cruise, I take 100 mg ew on cruise, and 300 mg a week on blast. I tried the 500 mg a week and didn't see much difference. I also take .25 eod of adex when on blast. I can always tell when my Estrogen is going up as I lose my sex drive.

By the way, why are you taking the thyroid meds

So for my first blast would you recommend 500 for 8 weeks or 400 for 12? What are the differences likely to be?

The difference between 400 and 500 is negligible but there are significant gains that can be achieved in those 4 weeks between 8 and 12...so for me it would be 400 for 12 weeks

Run with Lunks answer. Now is also the time to nail down your nutrition and exercise routine. Without it you'll have a lot of extra aas not doing anything for you and you will have wasted your $$$.

Forgot to ask... with a 12 week blast @ 400 a week, what type of gains should I conservatively be looking for?

You control your results, that's all it boils down to.
