Testosterone Cypionate advice

[Cmoore]

Hey guys, any response would be greatly appreciated. I want to put on more muscle. I am 30 years old, 6'2, and roughly 180lbs. Yesterday I received my 4th injection of testosterone cypionate from a low T Dr in N Texas. The injections r once weekly 160mg. From what I've read online that's not enough to do much. So my thoughts are simple. While I am under a physician’s care and they are monitoring estrogen levels and doing blood work every 6 weeks , why not take this opportunity to beef it up a little. Buy some testosterone off the web and go for another couple hundred MG or so per week? Now seems like the perfect opportunity to amp it up some or even stack it with something else?



Thanks for your input !

I think that If you are seeing a trt doc, and you up the dose, the BW will come back super high and he will know something's up.

Best to first get your trt balanced and stable, then do a blast. Also allow your body enough time when done to return to trt blood levels before your next scheduled blood work with the trt doc.

Once balanced, I think most trt docs do bloods every six months or yearly. So you should have time between to blast.

While 160mg of test is lower than most test only cycles, you'll most likely still be at average to higher than average test levels at that dose. You're pretty light for your height, so I'd recommend getting your diet situated first as you'll put on plenty of weight with a good diet and with the TRT you're receiving. Once you get to a suitable weight for your height to run a decent cycle, then you could up the dose and really note the results. Unless your diet is decent, you're going to have some difficulty holding on to your gains.

Thank u both for the reply. I want to say it feels great talking to someone besides my wife or coworkers about this topic (never mind the fact the u guys actually know what you're talking about).

Trevtrev- I was just going to tell them. Why would they care they just want the big money we pay for a years worth of service right?? If u think that's a terrible idea let me know. And if I do decide to juice under the low T docs radar thanks for the timeline precautions


JayMoe- appreciate it. I know we've all heard this before but I feel like it's impossible for me to gain much. When at my best and meanest I was just off a year or so of Crossfit and probably only weighed 170, very cut though. It seems to be ok to post photos so I think I'll do that. And I am open to any suggestions. I wish I weighed 190lbs and still had at or below my current BF. Maybe put a couple pounds of muscle in my legs and glutes

Guys thanks again for talking

T-prop would be a good ester to blast with. Ur levels should be back down to trt levels in 6-8 days after last pin. That is if ur worried about high levels on bloodwork.

Really take time to get your program dialed in and figure exactly what dosages put you where you should be and go with that the first year.

As a TRT guy you would be surprised to how much you physique will change just being at a state of balance.

Get to that point first. You will be happy you took the time.

Thanks guys, I think I like the idea of going just trt, diet, and exercise for quite a while, see if there's a benefit. My free came back at 9 and my serum came back at 450 I think. What two numbers should I be looking for? And I'm told at my 6 week mark the dose will go up to 200mg per week, think that'll make a dif?
