Low dose test only cycle... Thoughts?

ad

Hello to all,

First a little background... I am 33, 293lbs, 19% bf and have been training for about 20 years. I have used every supplement known to man an have done one cycle when I was 24 of sustanon/anadrol 50. I was recently put on trt at 200mg every two weeks... I was thinking of blasting for a few months up to 300mg a week. Bottom line just want to know if anyone has experience at that low of a dose (test c) and if I should even bother.

I am trying to gain 20lbs of good weight over the next year so I can finally get on stage... Diet down to a clean 260-265

Thanks for any assistance

Low dose cycles can definitely work. It's better to start low and milk it for all the gains possivle. Going from 200mg eow to 300 a week will big a big increase. Assuming diet and training are on point you will see good gains. This also assumes you get quality testr so you're actually getting a full 300mg ew.

20lbs over your first year of cycling is totally possivle. Shit you can put on close to that on a first cycle with such fresh and responsive receptors.

With all that being said it is better to cycle at a lower bf. nutrient partitioning will be so much better and more of those cals will go towards muscle. It's always best IMO to blow up lean. It's not necessary but in my experimce gains have alwuas been better.

So now it's time to do some reseach on side effects, aromatize inhibitors etc and come back with a solid plan for us to look at

Thanks for the insight. Right now I think I am going to just try my test c at 300 mg a week with letro at 2.5 mg eod to see how it goes...

Why so much letro?

X2. Most of us would need to be on 1000s of mgs of test to warrant 2.5mg letro eod.

On 300mg ew I would need probably .25mg e3d.

That would be a perfect addition to low dose test cycles.

I do my injection every week at 100 mg instead of 200mg every 2 weeks. Whole lot less peaks and valleys in your test levels that way. I'm actually down to 50 mg a week with a test level of 500 and no sign of high estrogen.

Trt dose as prescribed by physician may be a bit on the low side(200mg EOW) so you should see some improvements at 300 EW, as thats a good bit more than you're taking now. Im in the same boat as an older lifter. At 47, Im 4 weeks into current set and have gone from 248 to 264 but this weeks dose will be 750mg.Next week same dose then I start the taper and PCT. When you got put on trt, were you feeling not up to snuff? I know I feel much better with the higher levels of test for sure. I awaiting current bloodwork to see how it stacks up against the before cycle bloods
