Protein synthesis on TRT?

[Jonbana]

We all know an advantage to running high does test if the protein synthesis increase you get but when running TRT 200mg a week does it still increases it to a level just wondering ?

Of course it does as opposed to a much lower, natural level of testosterone . It's why cycle's are much larger than a TRT dose.

Yeah I was just wondering cause I'm going to lower calories a little before next blast to lean out a little and I was just debating if I should keep my protein at 1.5g per lb or lower it , if its just going to get wasted but I guess being on TRT I should be able to use it all training hard , maybe just lower my carbs than

I imagine. That's till way more then average natural production

When leaning out, you drop your carb/fats a little. I mean just about 10% or so. You don't want to go crazy and drop 50% or anything. I don't do big swings because it is hard on the body. I just drop my carb/fats by 10% or so and keep my protein the same. This will shift your overall % or macros so your fat/carb/protein ratios will lean more towards protein. Increase your cardio while holding down carbs/fats and you'll get leaner and lose minimum muscle tissue. I've done the carb rotation/water cycling in the past and discovered that if i just adjust my carbs/fats just a little and add cardio, I can lose fat and keep muscle. It's a lot easier to maintain this type of eating for a longer period of time, for me anyways.

What macros you go buy usually ?
right now im
protein 1.5g
carbs 1.5g
fats 0.4g
all this per LBS

I don't like dropping fat to low for reason but I guess on TRT you don't really need to worry about low fat intake

My TDEE is 3650 cals/daily. When I cut, I drop my TDEE by 10% (or so) to about 3200cal/daily. My macros ratios are, fats: 16%, carbs 30%, Protein: 54%. I add 20min to 30min on the StairMaster after workout.

Sounds good inalways went by grams per body weight not ratios or percentages usually works out 40/40/20 for bulk 50/30/20 cut
