Question! Did you put these two protocols together or a TRT specialist did?
The reason for my question is because I am on TRT under the supervision of a specialized clinic.
The dosage of my TRT is similar to option 1 but the timing is different.
What I was told that the Adex should be taken 24 hours after your shot. The ratio is, for each 100mg of test cyp, you take 1mg of Adex

I actually put it together myself with research. i didnt know that 100mg of test c needs 1mg of adex, seems a bit high and could crash my e2? could anyone else chime in on this... i thought .25-.5 would handle e2 graciously.

Well, you will be diving the dosage into 2. So you will take 0.5mg 24 hours after the 1st shot and another 0.5mg 24 hours after your 2nd shot.
My E2 before the therapy was 29 and after 8 weeks, it became 26. So it really didn't crash it.

those are pretty good numbers... i guess bloodwork will tell...

You always start low with ana, 1mg can easily crash E2 or do absolutely nothing, bloods are the way to tell how you respond to AI.

Test C peaks in about 24h on average, so it is reasonable to schedule adx post-pin day. Go for 0.25, if not enough, 0.5, if still inadequate, move to EOD.

That's quite a "generous" range.

whats the strength of the 0.5ml testosterone?

100mg of test

[Charger Hemi]

I think you need to double that to bring your test to the upper mid range.

100mg of test

sounds like a good starting dose for sure- i'm using 150mg a week, you are at 100mg a week.

you should change up your days to suit your lifestyle, if you are a mon-fri office worker like me, pin tuesday Pm and sat AM.

Also consider dropping the AI to 1/4 tab instead - one day after pinning.

Best to start low, and adjust only one variable until you get a stable reading.

i didn't use an AI until 6 months of bloodwork showed excessive E levels.

Id start with T and HCG first as written and add the AI only after blood work shows it too high. You may not convert so not need it- its cheaper and easier to do it that way.

Dont guess it, test it.

Good luck.
