Testosterone Protocol

I wanted to get some opinions on a Testosterone protocol that was just recommended by a clinic in Florida. I was really happy with the clinic and the doctor. He seemed very knowledgeable and was a patient himself. He also said that I could do the injections myself and that they would make adjustments based on symptoms instead of getting new bloodtests every cycle. I personally like that approach.

My info:
Age: 39 Gender: M
Athletic, but not a body builder. I do mostly endurance-type events like marathons, adventure races and long-distance biking. I mainly want to get my energy & libido back and lose the extra 20-30lbs around my waist.

Testosterone, Free 7.09
Testosterone, Total 218.5

IGF-1 222
FSH 2.68
LH 2.60
Estradiol 17.04

T3, Total 100.8
T4, Free 0.938
TSH 1.23

(Let me know if you need any more info)

The Protocol is this:
Cycle 10 weeks on, 4 weeks off

1. Testosterone Cypionate inject (1)cc per week
2. Anastrozole take (1)tab per week
Off cycle(complete after test cycle start 2 weeks after last test injection)

HCG inject 2000 units 1st 5days, 1000 units next 10 days.
Clomid take 1 tab daily

How does that sound?

sounds like you have a very fair doc--you wont have crazy bodybuilders type test numbers but it should work fine for you

If this is legitimately for TRT, then you will be good.

I would actually recommend Test C to be taken 1/2cc 2 times per week. This will level you out a little better.

But that dose should get your numbers between 850-1000. Which would make you feel great. Like TapOut said, thats not huge body building numbers, but you will benefit from it in your size.

Are we talking 100mg/ml here or 200mg/ml for the test cyp?

I don't think you should be going on for 10, off for 4 etc... I've talked to some very good TRT docs, and they seem to want you at constant steady levels at the high end of the spectrum constantly. That 4 weeks off is going to be a crash.

I'm not positive about the HCG. That seems like a high dose to be taking every day. Mine's much smaller. You might want to these forums, and ask about this. http://*************.com/forum/male-anti-aging/ . replace * with a n a b o l i c m i n d s . Sorry to say another website but the doc there gives good advice.

There is one of the best TRT doctors in the USA that posts there. Also a lot of very knowledgable people.

Sounds like a bad idea to cycle HRT.

I think that 1cc = 100mg, correct me if I'm wrong.

The reason they gave for cycling the testosterone was so that my boys don't turn off forever. The off-time kick starts them back up.
Of course if I go from a 1000 level back down to my current 218 level that does sound like there could be a big crash.

Hmmm... something to think about.

1cc = 200mg's.......from Signature Pharmacies anyway. i went to pick up my script and they were out of their compound test so i bought a 10cc bottle of brand name cyp and it was also 200mg per cc.

Another question I have is what would be the free-market cost of that protocol if I went and got it through another source? I just want to compare it to what I'm paying to make sure that I'm not getting shafted too bad.

Sorry,. but we cannot discuss prices in an open forum. I have no idea what it would cost anyway.

Seems to vary a lot from one place to another.

From what my TRT doc says. Taking HCG while on TRT can stop you from being shut down forever.
