Is it safe to cruise on 250mg test?

I like it haven't had too many sides but want to preserve my health if that makes sense is it safe to cruise on this amount or should I lower it?

TRT, in and of itself, is not 100% "safe." Water is safe. Any synthetic hormone you put in your body is going to have some consequences. The higher the dose, the higher the potential consequences. 250 mg/week is not TRT imo. 150 mg/week is more like TRT, but even that is probably too high. One of the biggest problems with staying on even a low-ish dose like you described is the phenomenon of increased erythropoiesis. Basically the blood tends to get thicker. This is damaging to your heart and kidneys. Once it gets too thick, you risk things like blood clots that could lead to a stroke or heart attack. I can almost guarantee the blood thickening on 250 mg/week. Mine thickens on just 150 mg/week, maybe even less.

If you plan on staying on 250 mg/week, I'd advise you get regular bloodwork that tests your RBC, hematocrit, hemoglobin, cholesterol, creatinine, egfr, etc. You must know all of the (known) effects of what you are taking before you go and ruin your health.

I agree with TM, though he spoke to the concerns much better than I could.

This is one of those things that some people DO and seem to get away with, but they likely aren't being as disciplined about blood work as TM suggests. In other words, they may be operating on borrowed time or be just fine, there is no way to know for sure without bloods.

Makes sense I get blood work every couple of weeks it comes out just fine still worried though I try to do a lot of cardio every week tho

Also I compete professionally but in powerlifting that's why my cruise is so high

Makes you want to analyze his lab schedule, doesn't it?

200mg seems to be a good amount for me

Sometimes I’ll drop to 175mg or so -

+ I’m almost constantly on Proviron & usually something else(deca , var, dBol , etc.) - var daily right now

Is it safe? - well, I know it ain’t good for me. . . Is it safer than other things I have done? Most likely - considering I ran six+ month tren cycles

I get blood work as often as possible now + donate regularly

Haven’t done a tren run in almost two years tho

Can’t say I recommend this to anyone - coming off sucks ass & I’m sterile af

200 to 250 is considered "sports TRT" whatever that means. Honestly without monitoring levels through bloodwork theres no way of knowing. My doc and i try to keep me above 900 and below 1200 total t, with free test being in normal ranges. The ester your running has also something to do with it. Undeconate at 200mg a week is not the same as enanthate at 200mg a week as the ester is heavier in one and is less actual testosterone per dose
