Curious what amounts and type of T folks are using for TRT
ad
I know I know, everyone is different. But, would like to hear how others are doing on TRT in terms of what dosages, frequency, and type. This is for cruising.
I'm doing 200mg Test Cyp once every two weeks, plus pellets.
Feeling ok, not bad, not great. One would say that's a good place 
I'd like to hear from others, share ideas, always like to hear what didn't work well!
thanks.

Been on TRT for over 2 years. Before I started my T was 75. Yes, that is not a typo. In my 30s, it was always boarder line but never below the line for 2 months in a row; so I learned to live with the effects of low T. Then in my 40s I decided enough was enough and was tested again. Started at 50mg 2x weekly. Worked out with my doctor the dose over the 2 years and now I have been on 300mg weekly (split in 2 doses) for about 7 months. Mood, outlook and sex drive have all been great. Have a rare case of ED but have something for that. My doctor wanted to change me over to pellets but when I do a cycle that would be a complication so elected to stay on injections (I do myself).
The trick for us old bastards is moving from routine to cycle and back. All but one for me have included test C.
mazar125mg test-e e3.5d + 2*250iu HCG e3.5d (one day before test shot) + 6,25mg ed aromasin
I was using 300mgs of test cyp per week, that got me to a leveled off feeling to where I was getting my sex drive back, its a big step from androlgel but to be honest, androgel aided to the problem, but did not fix it. This is a good safe dose, what your doing might be working but seems to me like it just isnt enough
300mg of real test is a cycle. sounds like underdosed gear. 150mg a week puts my test over 1,000mg.
mazarTo retain gains you will find you need a bit above a trt dose. If i wasnt into bodybuilding/vanity i would use 125mg per week but in order to maintain as much gains as possible i use 250mg. Thankfully no need to use more i feel like a million bucks at that dose and my strength is the same as if on cycle.
AnonWhere does that put your test levels at?
mazar800-1200 mark going to switch to 200mg test c the next couple of weeks
AnonI was thinking that 125 would be enough to cruise on considering that over time you have that build up.. might have to rethink that though..
do you blast? if so what kind of dose?
mazarLast cycle was around 1.75g of oils and 400mg of orals per week (18 weeks), next time around i am going to go for much less. I hope this way i can blast two/three times a year before i was blasting almost year round which is not good.
I know what a cycle is partner, I can promise you my gear wasnt underdosed. Im saying thats what it took to make me feel normal.
Don't even try it Popeboy, You ain't never gonna be "Normal". LOL
I agree with your point of that's what it takes for you. Everyone is a little different. Let's not forget that.
To all you guys .....how long have you been on TRT?
I really would love to hear from someone with several years under their belt. All, including me, seem to be around the 1 year point.
lol thats why I said "for me", im not one of those who is big on argueing, I do understand that everyones different, im not doubting that. I did several years of TRT and I can tell you I never felt 100% until I started the cyp, Androgel was ok but it didnt seem to completely do the trick, 300mgs of test cyp is still a relatively low dose of test, you can actually dose at your own comfort level, start at 2 weeks, if you feel that you need to go up then dose every week and 1 1/2, and then so on, even my wife said I looked healthier, I gained a tremendous amout of weight since I had so much musce waisting. ;)
test E 75 mg every 3 days keeps levels stable and sides minimal with adex 0.25mg and hcg 250ui all on same day is my HRT. i plan to blast 400 MG a week of NPP for 2 months this spring.
I just started 12 days ago 1 iu HGH ed, 50mg Prop eod (upped to 100mg eod 4 days in, to get up quicker, will probably back down after Urologist visit tomorrow for IM Test) Definite all around improvement (attitude, drive, marital responsibilities :-), workouts.... Friday Family doc prescribed Androgel 5mg ed, and a Urologist visit. I'll update you in a week or so after I see the urologist. My blood work they pulled 2 weeks ago showed a test level of 71. Apparently PCT is very important! I abruptly stopped an extended "cycle" after an injury, with no PCT. I just didn't know! That was before I found Eroids! Thank You Eroids Community for showing me the light!!
Well I saw the urologist as referred by my family doc for IM testosterone. Unfortunately, this urologist doesn't really like Test shots and thinks I should just stay with the Androgel for a few months and come see him again, even though I explained my concern for testosterone transfer to my teenage son and wife. He didn't seem to care, just felt the Boys, probed my Ass and took my money. I'll try a second opinion, this time from an Endocrinologist, at least they won't probe me!
Your the patient does not matter what he likes. Tell him you have small children in the house. Small children and androgel is not good. Thats the first question my doc asked me is if there were any children in the house. He said he did not want my 4 year old with a beard at 6. If that does not work just say that is what you prefer and you don't see how thats any different. Just tell him you dont want to rub cream all over your self everyday..If you have any other questions feel free to pm me. You have the right to request injections.
Thanks, Good news! I did my follow up with the family doc Tuesday and told him it was messing with my husbandly duties having to keep my wife away from the arm and neck, stopping to wash it off in the heat of the moment. He wrote down what to say "I want injections, I can't tolerate the jel". I called the urologist and told them that. I had to follow up call today, they called me back 20 minutes after and told me they were mailing me a script for testosterone, when I get it come into the office monthly and they'll inject me. I told them I'd rather inject myself. Success, now I have to see what the dose is and work on that. But monthly, really? Thats gotta be some long estered stuff boy!
500mgs of test enan
500mgs of tren enan
per week.
2nd month and starting to feel the difference aside from night sweats, lol. It's good to be back, as I've been off for about 7years.
AnonYou are running this for TRT?
OE2000If this is his cruise, what does his blast look like? damn!
My question exactly.
Johnny...how long do you plan on doing this routine?
6 months or so. I'll reevaluate and probably lower it to what you all refer to as a cruise. And I think I wrote this in a hurry, since I only recall the thread title reading what are you running , so sorry for the confusion. I must have gotten excited or something.
Anonyou run TREN for a cruise cycle? or were you excited?
I run tren all the time with test, so yes.
AnonI guess you aren't understanding the question then.. You run tren "off cycle" while you are cruising? not on cycle while you are "blasting"... I would hope you run tren with test..
OE2000Wouldn't 6 months on Tren @500mgs per week be a little unhealthy? Or am I missing something?? :/
What would you consider a correct dose, or a safe dose?
Well they give an 800 pound steer about 100mg and he's dead with in 6 months.
So there is no available data on long term health effects of Tren.
Just my $0.05 worth.
Possibly you could draw conclusions from information on Parabolan (Tren Hex) or Hexabolan. Clinical dosage was 3 amps/month or 76mg e10d. For Body Building they rec 152-220mg/wk. Source William Llewellyn's Anabolics.
AnonIf you want to say a LITTLE so be it .. yes
No apology necessary. Thanks for the input. Just seeing what works out there for different folks. Thanks!
OE2000Bi-weekly injections @200mgs don't work for me, got tired of the rollercoaster ride. 250mgs once per week makes a HUGE difference, or 125mgs every 4th day, but I'm lazy, so 1 cc every Sunday.....
Test E?
OE2000Sorry, I should have stated this in my post.... Test-E, or Test-C, I prefer Cypionate, seems like it gives me a little less acne, probably all in my head. ~~~~~later
Thanks!
I'm trying Test p, 100mg eod. Not sure if this is considered cruising it blasting but I like so far. I'm just in my first week so still a little early.
I will try test c once a week at some point, especially if I have to travel. Probably like you, around 125mg to start.
The doc has me at 200 mg of Test Cyp a week.
I am supplementing with approx 300 mg of T Prop a week split into 3 doses..
That regiment got my test levels from sub 200 to right at 600. I do more blood work in Jan so will be curious to see my levels. I have been on this low dose first run for around 2 1/2 months now. Feel better, looking better, workouts better and longer, sleeping better, increased stamina and lifts across the board...libido up - ALL good!
Also doing low dose Anavar nor for a bit just upped to roughly 20-25 mg a day as I am watching my BP and sides.
Do you stop your supplement dose before your blood work, or just let it roll?
I did not stop last time - that was the 604 level. I think I will stop this time...
So at 604 they are still prescribing for you. My level was 71 and he wrote me a script for Androgel :-(, went for a specialist referral to a urologist today, and he told me he doesn't like injections, stick with the Androgel for a few months, even though I am concerned with transfer to my teenage son and wife! I have to find an understanding specialist for a second opinion!
Not sure if where you live they have anti-aging drs/clinics. They are likely to do injections.
200mgs Test cyp a week. 100 mgs every 3.5 days when I start to cruise. Blasting now..
tread-mProp eod @ about 100mg, only way to go in my opinion. Adjustments are so quick and easy as you learn where your levels are based on how you feel. Sounds like quite a bit at first glance but when you figure one shot is dead in 48 hours in free test levels compared to your norm its about the same as the 200 weekly on long ester. Not for everyone if you dont like the needle so much.
AnonGoth is running 100ng of test week on cruise
100mg cyp every week been doing it for about a year and I do it on top of any cycles I do. My clinic takes my blood and gives me adex and hcg as needed and I feel great my TRT is what made me start cycling
