Cypionate or Enanthatate?

Come on man that's clearly not true. TRT dose is 100mg/wk. No doctor can give 300mg/wk and still keep his licence.

Agreed. Most will get good results from 300mg/week on a first cycle, since it is probably at least tripling their test levels.

I understand that 300mg/wk dose is triple that of natural test production but this was not my point here. I was simply implying that 300mg is so close to trt why not just run the genrally suggested cycling dosage at 500mg?

Trt is typically prescribed at a dosage between 100-200 mg wk and ive seen as high as 300mg wk! If a person here is taking testosterone to build muscle at a decent rate, why would they start off in a range that doctors prrscribe to patients to assist in treating sexual dysfunction?

Because 300mg/wk is an unusually high and uncommon dose for TRT.

TRT is not simply "treating sexual dysfunction". There is much more to it than that.

300mg/wk is actually a fine starting dose for a cycle. Use the least amount of drugs possible to get the job done.

I understand 500mg/wk is always used as a guideline for first time users, but I've known people who did very well off 300mg/wk.

You can probably have good results with as low as 300mg per week but 500mg is the general starting point for most first time users. If you wanna be on the safe side, start off at 300mg, if no side effects occur increase up to 500mg after 4 weeks.

Just to give you an idea, my stats are:
Age 24
5'5
160lb
12-14% bf

I did a 500mg/week cycle and about to finish in a couple of weeks here, no major sides. You have close to 20lbs on me, you should be fine at 500mg
