    Blast and Cruise, how safe is it??

    I've been on TRT (Test C) for about a year and a half now. It's apparent that my body isn't going to produce "natural test" as I used to. Before going on TRT my levels were around 240 or so. I get regular bloodwork done through my doc and all seems to be going well. My question is, how safe is it to blast and cruise? Are there huge risk(s) involved in doing this, versus cruising all the time on normal TRT. Here are my stats:

    Age: 45
    Weight: 189
    Height: 5'5"
    BF%: 20%

    As long as you keep an eye on your lipids, blood pressure, E2 levels, liver (supplement with NAC daily if not already) and hematocrit levels, you should be good to go since your already shut down and on TRT for life. Once your blast is up, just return to your normal TRT protocol (no pct).

    Any suggestions on a brand of NAC?

    I use NOW branded and have verified they work with blood labs. Fairly cheap on amazon. I take 600mg morning and night (daily), but would up it to 1800mg during a blast.

    Any reason for this or just do to the saying 'time on = time off'?

    And to be clear, I'm not disputing, just curious...

    What do you take NAC for? This is the first I heard it recommended for TRT.

    Liver support. It has a lot of other benefits too but primarily liver protection.

    So these injections elevate my liver readings? Is this common? I really don't want to mess with that. The liver is a serious organ to mess with....

    Obviously a blast involves the same risks and strain on your body as a normal steroid cycle. Just subtract the issue of shutdown and PCT drugs, since you won't be doing any of that.

    I havent seen anyone mention yet, get the body fat down before blasting. Work on diet first.

    Below 15% for sure. 12% is much better and will yield much better results.

    I might have enough test cyp saved up for a 200 mg a week blast for 8 weeks but that's about it. Not sure that is even worth it. Besides im pretty happy with my ipam/cjc peptide run and might just see how it goes. It seems to be really leaning me up without losing weight. I'm 6 ft 4 and 222 now and getting leaner while holding the same weight.

    NAC - Amazon.com: NOW Foods Nac-Acetyl Cysteine 600mg, 250 Vcaps: Health & Personal Care

    Helps protect the liver.

    200MG of test a week is not a blast.

    Diet, exercise and TRT will take you a long ways without having to blast. You will already have the test of a 20 year old. You just need to use it and kick the bad habits you have developed over the last 20 years.

    I had no libido, erectile dysfunction, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and on anti-anxiety and anti-depression medication.
    All of that clear up within a matter of weeks upon my first injection of deca -durabolin .
    I've been on since January 6, 2006 and I have no plans to stop or pause my injections.
    I'll probably die with a needle still stuck in my butt! LOL

    Sorry to give you the bad news but deca is not TRT since it has no testosterone .

    I forgot to add that I use deca 200, Super Test 450, The Test C from the clinic, and Test E all mix together for a super shot at about 2,000mg-3000mg every 2 weeks.

    Is that too much? LOL

    Why are you here? You just trolling or what? Look at your post history...you said similar crap 6 years ago. You are either an idiot who practices very stupid steroid use or you are just an idiot. Not sure which yet.

    Ill go with just an idiot... If he was babbling 6 years ago he'd be a goner by now.. Guess it's time to be treated like a kid sister... In one ear and out the other. This forum is for the educated and uneducated alike.. And somehow we mysteriously learn from each other. I'm not sure how much time you had to take away from eating pizza in your parents basement to make such ridiculous posts but I'm sure mommy is missing her man child by now, so please Mr. Deca TRT go back to the computer monitor from which you came and don't disgrace this board or the fine folks on it.... :-)

    Someone I work with goes to a doctor in the suburbs of Detroit. His TRT injection consist of test cyp, deca , b12 and stanozolol . It is well over a 2ml shot. To make my point, deca is being used more by the clinics.

    I just loaded up a 20ml. syringe with Test E, C, and Super Test 450. After I get through with this post, I'll take a 3,500mg. injection. That's 7ml. if you failed math.
    I have no problems with such injections every two weeks and I've been doing it for 8 years, but it seems like some others here don't like it. Too Bad.
    Take your puny dose dude and have fun.

    Why every 2 weeks? You should split that up to 1x a week at least or better yet into 4 injections 2x a week.

    Are you going to use an AI? did you get your blood work done before starting? Do you plan on testing during cycle? I would at minimum check your E2 and test into week 3 or 4.

    @ LT75 yes some doctors will prescribe deca low dose but it's not common. It's for joint issues.

    He's a troll - every one of his posts are uneducated dribble and promote bad practices. Not sure why he is even on this site, doesn't contribute any knowledge and promotes TRT done in cycle amounts. Very dumb. I think he would be better off just doing 7grams once a month.(sarcasm) Idiot.
