    I'm not sure if it's been discussed earlier in the thread but is there a certain timing for taking hcg . I know it's twice per week and so is the test e but is it OK to do both the same day as in Monday and Thursday.

    Timing does not matter. Just be consistent in fairly even intervals. Twice weekly.

    Just had some general blood work done for my primary and they said my cholesterol was great. Overall was 140, triglycerides was 74, buy my hdl was 42. Would this be a concern for cycling? I have read cycling can lower hdl and am afraid this would be bad.

    That's was a great read. Really opened my eye as far as injuries, over protein, expected gains and everything else.

    I feel like I am left with more questions than answers after reading this. As someone who has a degree in biology, I would have never guessed cycling would be so complicated.

    Ask what you need to ask. If the thread didn't answer your questions, we can assist you further. But leaving a comments saying you have questions won't really get you anywhere.

    I'm very curious what questions you have that aren't answered. The majority seem to have found this thread very useful so you have peeked my interest.

    Welcome aboard by the way!

    He's off-line but the proper first step would be full BW. There's an example of it in the Finding A Doc Sticky thread at the top of the HRT Forum. It may simply be time for hormone replacement. Google the "ADAM" questionnaire and see how you do.

    I agree with Kelkel. Blood work would be a great deciding factor. You're either at or approaching the inevitable late-onset hypogonadism. TRT could take you to the next level.

    that being said, you can cycle if you want, wouldn't hurt but be sure to observe blood work as outlined.

    The "Low T" centers that have opened up..are they all basically doing the same things???...or are there substantial differences in the services, testing and treatments they provide??

    If different what should I be looking for?

    prop PCT timing is in the article in segment #6. 8 weeks at 100 to 150 EOD.

    hey fellas, a little bit about myself. i'm 29 yo, 6'2 and around 200lbs.. ive been lifting weights for around 5 years on and off, highest weight i was on 230lbs. last few month was a bit hard for me so I lost some weight, but finally i got a better job (cctv security) so i can have a normal routine, eat anytime i want and train always on the same days. I did two cycles 1 year ago, was 500 test e/12 weeks and test e and deca (500/400) for 10 weeks. sadly i couldnt manage to save my gains because of too much stress in life, not looking for excuses now, just want to go back on track. next month i'm planning to start a new cycle, definitely for mass. what would be your suggestions? i was thinking about 12 weeks cycle of 750g test e, 500 deca and 50mg dbol ed(6 weeks), bumb up my calories, eat, train, sleep and grow... any help appreciated!

    Bro, I'm no expert, so I'll let the experts like Austinite reply, but it seems that the theme is use the lowest amount possible to get gains. You set the bar real high with that cycle. You could probably get sick ass gains from just 500 mg a week of test. Especially after two years.

    i was thinking about a 2nd cycle of test only hopefully test e maybe test sustanon ..but i was going to run it 500ml week for 10 weeks plus i have 1cc left of test 400 from my 1 st cycle,i will take that at week 11..
    do you think the test 400 is still good? it has been in a room temp room since dec?
    i will take arimidex .25ml every other day..i must ask though if i take arimidex is it really needed? because my first cycle i did not have excess water retention or sore nipples etc...

    Crashing is when you see little crystals floating in your gear. It happens over time, it separates and can be fixed by heating in boiling water. There is a whole section in the stickies I believe on crashed gear and how to fix it. Just check it before you use it, and if you see crystals in it, check out the thread .
