Need help balancing test and estro

I'm new here but not to training. I haven't taken anything synthetic since I was about 24 yrs old, and I didn't take much then. I competed as a natural powerlifter until I was 31 and actually totaled 1200lbs in the 165s... That was decent back then :) Set a Tx state record in the deadlift in 95'... I just say this to let everyone know a little bit about where I came from.

I'm now 49 and have monitored my blood work closely for the last 5 yrs. My Test has consistently dropped each year to the low of 221! My Doc has me on 200mg Cyp and i'm taking 1/2cc every 5 days and I know that's not much? But it's seems to be plenty for me:) My last blood work showed my test at 1083... I'm also taking Anastrozle 1mg tab every 5 days.

Now for my question: I tore my extensor tendon 8 months ago and went through 4mos of PT. It's better, but seems to have just stopped healing? So I just got a bottle of Deca 300ml and thought I would stack it with my Test but I'm not sure how much I should take for therapeutic purposes only? I'm thinking a 1/2cc every 5 days like my Cyp?

I know you need to watch your Test and Estro balance more closely when on Deca.... Don't want no DD!! So I'm open to suggestions?

Dosage of both the Test and Deca?
Increase or stay with the same amount of Anastrozole?

Thanks!

Welcome!

Maybe Kel or Austin will recommend how to dose the deca and the rest. Think they both use some, they were discussing it not long ago.

Few things. At 100mg test every 5 days you are taking 1mg adex? That's a lot of adex quite honestly. I say that as the average amount used for a 500mg per week test cycle is .25 mg EOD which equates to the same amount. Hence my question if that much is really needed and if it's based on BW?

A normal therapeutic dosage of cypionate would be 100-200mg per week. A bodybuilding dosage would be 4-600 per week. Yes, you can take it exactly how you said, every 5 days and in the same syringe. Just load with a different pin to avoid dulling the needle and increasing PIP. Now, deca is not test and vice versa. Deca is a 19Nor. It won't aromatize but since it's a progestin it can elevate prolactin levels. But for that to occur it has to be in the presence of high estrogen and I can't imagine that happening with your adex dosage. Point to take is that if your estrogen is in control then you won't have prg / prl issues. If not, you may and in that case many will run Cabergoline (Dostinex) to help keep it in check. I can't imagine you having an issue at such a low dose and blanketed with 1mg of adex.

No reason to increase test dosage at all. You may also want to look into TB500 which is a peptide with significant healing properties. Search it here as there are some good threads on it.
