    Trt guy has question bout cycle dosage

    37
    5'9" 195lb
    Bf15%

    For starters id like to say im currently on a cut and dont plan to do any cycle until i get down to 12%bf...

    Im in the beginning stages of thinkn bout a possible cycle to run prob startn at end of summer ...have a few questions to help my planning...Current TRT dose 200mg/week test cyp. 250IUhcg 2x/week..

    I know 500mg/week for 12 weeks test only is recommended for a first cycle.. Now for me personally would that be my trt dose + 500mg/week = 700mg/week?? Then after 12 weeks just go bak to TRT dose?

    Any TRTers have some input as to ability to hang onto gains better since ill be continuing to inject exogenous test post cycle??

    Also what would be ur recommendation for AI? Im currently not taking one as im only 6 weeks into trt.. But lets assume i get my E2 in control for my trt dose by the time i start my cycle.. Would i then apply the same rule at 1mg AI/100mg test /week?? So hypothetically if im taking 2mg AI for TRt dose would i add an additional 5mg /week to compensate for the 500mg test?

    7mg AI/week seems like alot...

    Thx

    What is your Natty test @ now? 37 is early for TRT imho.I am just curious before I go digging into this further.Yes I am on TRT and no, it would not be 500mgs + 200 mgs for 700mgs total.I would hold off on TRT for as long as possible as pinning every week and HCG X 2 week gets old real fast.What does your last blood work show?

    Most do look toward to the pins. But after 3+ yrs straight of pins it should get old...

    Testosterone (Free and Total)

    This is of course the hormone that you should all be extremely familiar with as it's the name of this here magazine! Anyhow, just as some background info, about 95% of the circulating Testosterone in a man's body is formed by the Leydig cells, which are found in the testicles. Women also have a small amount of Testosterone in their body as well. (Some more than others, which accounts for the bearded ladies you see at the circus, or hanging around with Chris Shugart.) This is from a very small amount of Testosterone secreted by the ovaries and the adrenal gland (in which the majority is made from the adrenal conversion of androstenedione to Testosterone via 17-beta HSD).


    Nomal range, total Testosterone:

    Male

    Age 14
    <1200 ng/dl

    Age 15-16
    100-1200 ng/dl

    Age 17-18
    300-1200 ng/dl

    Age 19-40
    300-950 ng/dl

    Over 40
    240-950 ng/dl


    Normal range, free Testosterone:

    Male
    50-210 pg/ml

    I like adex myself.Alot of people get serms confused with AI's.I am not sure how exactly, but it happens.Letro is for Gyno imho because it kills estro off completely.(also your sex drive,lol).Adex is fine.

    At only 6 weeks into your trt I think you should run your 200mg (which is high) for much longer. Then down the road you can do a blast. I would do the 700mg a week at that point but that is just me.

    Agreed.. Which is why in my first post i stated my plan is to run the cycle at the end of the summer (which is 8 months from now)... Just trying to get everything sorted early... Also need to drop bf 3% and get trt levels hopefully dialed in by then.. I like to plan so thats why im thinking about it now...

    Also curious as to how well the TRT guys in this forum held onto their gains..

    My original question Im still lookn for an answer to: is a 500mg/week cycle for a guy on 200mg/week TRT gonna work out to be 700mg/week?? Considering it takes the original 200mg to bring me up to where most guys r without any test... And i realize i may actually be higher than the average guy but were talking theoretically here...

    Thx

    If its your first cycle 500mg/week is plenty. You need to gauge your reaction to sides. Generally the higher the dose the higher the side effects. Just switch to 250mg 2xweek. My first cycle was Test E only 500mg week and it was great!

    Personally i would lose as much weight as i could so you can eat to make maximun gains when you start your cycle it much better to not have to diet while you are trying to make gains.Your body will also respond to the steroids better. do it slow over a long period of time and it shouldnt be hard to drop 5 or 6% body fat.

    Hey 405 I havent read this whole thread but I have another commment. TRT and Cycles are totally different animals. But obviously the conversation gets blurred in a steroids/bodybuilder website and we're all jabbing test. Most cycles are for one thing....putting on mass/muscle. Its an athletic and aesthetic endeavor. TRT is a medical treatment for older men to restore test and libido. There are thousands and thousands of old guys on TRT who never work out and never will.

    So my point is design your cycle for what it is. Don't worry about how it relates to your TRT.
