HRT - Blast

[double chicken]

I want to read up on 'blasts' while on HRT. I did a search and didnt come up with much. I am sure it has been covered multiple times over. Can anyone point me toward some threads where I can educate myself?

[NOSUPERMODEL]

I would also like to know more about this. For future use. I am too early into TRT to do it right now.

[bass]

i am interested too!

I don't remember an all-inclusive, go-to thread for blasting. I have read every thread I have come across that talks about it, and it sounds like it is the same as any other cycle, but you don't do PCT. You simply go back to your TRT dose. Easy peasy. The good news is it seems to be a great way to keep gains as we don't go through the "shutdown" phase others do when they end a cycle and need to get their body producing natural test again.

You guys have it easy then! Cheaters...lol

Sounds Amazing!
1. How long do you blast for 12 weeks? or longer cause it doesnt matter?
2. Does one get consistant continuous gains just being on HRT?

That's it in a nutshell. You run your blast for your determined time 8, 10, 12 weeks or whatever and then you return to your TRT dose. It's wise to be back on TRT for the same time as your blast, but some men just go back on TRT for 4 to 6 weeks.
You have to keep future TRT appointments in mind so that you stop a blast in enough time that your doctor will only see your TRT test levels and not your blast test levels when he/she runs your bloodwork.

Didn't work that way for me although I know everyone is different. I would still lose some strength and size when I returned to TRT doses.

A. Roughly how many weeks does it take for the Test level to drop to TRT level -or- how many weeks before BW should you stop blasting?
B. Does one taper the dose when blasting?

[zaggahamma]

good post...lot of good questions...

sum it up johnny vegas and bigd89 together summed it up pretty much how i see it

I am no expert, but if you blast on a long ester, you should allow a month before getting blood work done?

I have never understood why anyone tapers for any reason. Plus, it isn't like we need to ease our bodies back into making our own Test, because even our TRT dose has us shut down, doesn't it?

Precisely. When I was doing the blast and cruise, I would give 4 to 6 weeks off of the blast before I went back to my doctor.

I never tapered and none of the guys I talked to at the time tapered, we just went back to our TRT dose.

Sounds Amazing! Sign me up...

What was your experience when you first stated HRT as far as BW. Did you have to go once a month while the doctor tried to find the sweet spot or was it once every 6 months?

[funkymonk]

For me, any time my uro changed my script we would schedule BW in 6-8 weeks. If the script stayed the same between checkups, ~3 months. Just remember, they can't force you to get BW (you can "forget" for a few weeks/months), but then again you may need to go in more or less frequently depending on how large (as in refills) your script is.

My doc wants blood work every six months or so. Same when I started. They haven't done any tweaking with my dose as my levels are good and it hasn't adversely effected any of my other levels.

[bass]

i started a light blast due to gear limitation. 200 test (my normal TRT dose) with 200 deca for 14 weeks, also will be doing hCG for 20 weeks! this is my first real blast, not sure what to expect!

What are your doses?

[kelkel]

BASS, let us know how you do. I just started deca @ 200mg ml on top of my normal TRT (A-gel). Waiting for some more gear to arrive (tren ) too. Joints (elbows) killing me. Wondering if it's E related as my endo does not check for it even though I've had the conversation w him. I will present some more facts to him on the next visit. Hoping he'll script me adex/hcg if I can educate him.

i can't believe how many "doctors" don't pay attention to E2! unbelievable!

[JohnnyVegas]

They haven't changed my TRT dose, which is 200mg/week.

[kelkel]

I will keep you informed. Gotta see the GP tomorrow for my son and I'm gonna see if he'll write me a script to check for E levels since the endo isn't interested. His quote was something to the effect of "no need to worry about it. It would just lead to more problems and more medicine." Question for you guys: I've heard conflicting statements here. Deca will or will not raise your T level as it's not testosterone ?

[bass]

i did blood work while on deca and test then did another blood work weeks after i stopped deca and test levels were almost the same!

I have been wondering this same question as well.

Thanks BASS!

I too would like to get updates bass! Not to hijack this, but what are you running the deca for, and how did you come up with 14 weeks?

the last time i ran deca at 100 mgs for 5 weeks and loved it, it helped my joint, 80% pain reduction and staid that way, still not 100% so this is why i am running it again. the 14 weeks is due to the amount i have, i thought of doing 9 weeks at 300, but thought since this is my first blast I'll keep it light!

cool thanks!
