How old are you, and how much Test are you copping?
ad
Keen to understand how old everyone is and amount of test they cruise on/ cycle on, so I can get a better idea of the 'norm.'
At 39-yrs I did 450 (test c) p/w on cycle, went fine.
40 now. Wanting to to sit on ~125 p/w (test e) for ~6 weeks and then get some bloods, before 'leading in; for 4 weeks on 500, and then hitting 1000 for a full blast/ main cycle, getting bloods at every turn. Keen for some feedback on this.
Understand safe ranges are something like like 300-1500 p/w.
Did a poll below if anyone is interested (Poll = Weekly Testosterone Cycle Dosages by Age Bracket (40+)... not 'cruising')

I am on cycle right now at 250 test e and 300 primo. Best cycle I’ve ever ran. Then I run 125mg test u between cycles. I’m 46
AK8045 this October and only because it's summer right now am I doing less (300-400 Test Prop per week) For bulking in the winter, it's like 600 Sustanon per week. (I have 300+ karma not sure why it says 8)
If you’ve ran 1 cycle at 450mg ew you have no need, and no business running anywhere near a gram. my first 2 cycles were 500mg ew. They were both great. It’s been a long time now but I think my 3rd was still 500mgs plus a some NPP. So you don’t need to go increasing dosages for the hell of it. Only once it stops working. And you’re almost 40..you can’t get away with anywhere near the shit you could have in your 20s.. you need to be much more careful. If you’re just a gym rat who wants to look good and get stronger I don’t think you’ll ever need a gram of test. And 1500mgs is not safe lol. None of this is safe as I’m sure you’re aware but you get up to 1000mgs or more and it starts becoming really unsafe if you don’t have a lot of experience and aren’t very in tune with your body. You don’t go from 500 to 1000 either. You’d run a cycle at 750 first. But again you don’t even need 750. Having your diet dialed in is most important, and this is where most people struggle because it’s 24hrs a day. Then training which is honestly pretty hard to screw up. Then gear.
I'm running 250-300 test E per week now, a healthy TRT dose. Over the hill
40yrs old. I run about 50mg of test cyp every 3/4 days, to cruise. When I blast Ill run either Prop between 400 and 700mg usually, or TNE/suspension. Ill dose between 15-30mg of TNE 3x a day (every 8 hrs)
Im 60. Running g 400 mg of test per week.
51 on 200 Test C a week, hoping clinic is going to up dosage slightly. The hopeful I can attain some Var for a test cycle, along with pct.
AK80The one's down in Florida literally have a menu you can order off of. I got Deca because I said my joints hurt but it was really for bulking a few years ago.
45yr old I run Test no higher than 500mg ew eod pins on cycle and 175mg ew on cruise. Lots of guys take mega doses and there's honestly no point in that at all unless your seriously competing. It's all about diet. 500mg Test goes a long way with proper diet and exercise. It's a mindset thing. A lot of guys think they need massive amounts to achieve goals, but in all actuality just don't have things dialed in as they should. 500mg ew puts my total test at 4k. I drop to 175mg during cruise and eat/supp right between cycles to polish the old androgen receptors. It's all about longevity.
Well that shows everyone is different then
Your 500 mg dose gives you 4,000
My 500 mg dose gives me 2,700 so you can see why people have to run more than 500 at times
I agree...everyone is different. However, that difference depends on the gear your running, whether it's actually what it's labeled, purity etc.... Also your daily life. Food/diet, predisposition, exercise, supps. You have to remember not everyone who posts bloods and results or cycles are actually in truth doing what they say. So take it with a grain of salt.
Thanks for this, sounds sensible. Gonna tweak my numbers.
Fr sent...hit me up when you have a min.
Sensible is the name of the game if your not competing professionally. Longevity is key for guys who are doing this for health, work, to feel and live better. There's so much that's comes into play.
44, 500mg test WK Total T <1500 on cycle do capped test for blood to keep a eye on my lipids ( at home tests are easier for me )
Im 42 prefer my test around 350-450, rarely over 500. Im usually running a couple other things so i would rather let them do most of the work. Cruising i usually run 180-200mg per week. That usually puts my total test over 2k.
I’m 36, Big bro.
Usually cruise around 300 test + 200 primo or mast depending on bloodwork… sometimes just 400 test solo and call it a day. (Or mini blast, IDK)
Blast dosages though… only God and my laboratory rat personality truly know at this point
Still experimenting, still learning, still trying new things in the most responsible way possible lol
Highest test dose you ran?
@Teeeethreee 1.5g was the highest I’ve personally pushed.
Honestly from 1g to 1.5g I didn’t notice some magical insane difference … neither for better nor worse. Could be that systemically that was already beyond what my body could really make productive use of, or maybe I simply didn’t stay there long enough to truly evaluate it properly.
For context, I was increasing the dosage every 8 weeks and only stayed around the 1.5g mark for roughly 4 weeks. So realistically, if I had held that dose for 8-12-16 weeks, I’d probably have a much better understanding of how my body truly handles “high test” territory.
Well… I’m still alive.
Maybe winter bulk season will bring another scientific experiment lol
Hahaha hell yeah let us know what shenanigans you get in to this bulk
Pinky promise to tell the truth
Shit I’m running the highest amount right now lol
Im 36 and run 140 on cruise 400 on blast that’s plenty for me. I had total T 2800 on 350mg.
I wasnt sure if i supposed to vote under 48-50 or 50+. I am exactly 50 so im in both categories. But 48-50 sounds younger lol
I’m not old yet, yay lol I’m 32 tested low at 30 (250) got on trt. Taking 450 test E with 300 primo weekly and it’s going well!
Geezers
You old fucks lol @press1
Pikey Cunt
No Category for a micro plastic filled 30 year old?!?!
44
I did the poll but my cruise and cycle are 2 separate numbers
Cruise: 250 max
Blast: 500-700 (unless I’m using tren then it’s 250)
What is the ultimate total testosterone levels to have in a cut cycle.
I see people stat how many milligrams they run but is there a total testosterone number that is ultimate
Makwa was always hinting around 2500 minimum while on. I think he was spot on with that assessment too based on results I have experienced in the past. Honestly, I haven’t ever tested when on large amounts of test… I don’t think I experienced any different results outside of hypertension lol. Obviously the higher the blood pressure, the more calories you burn… but at what risk? Especially with a high RBC.
I’d rather have a conservative test level and run a split of clean and EC while monitoring BP religiously. I think synergistic effects of other compounds is much more important. I am also a proponent of free test over total test.
I’m 46 I’m running 700mg Test E a week pinned daily running 70mg Var along with 5.0 of Reta a week
What are your test levels at running 700 mg aweek
I hit 5k total @ 750/week recently. Felt great at first until it didn’t. BP shot up and got headaches. Had to drop back down to 600 and felt way better. Not 40 yet, but not far off.
Thanks for the reply I’m debating my 500mg gave me 2,700 total. Was thinking of adding and making it 750 mg. And estrogen is 70 at 500 mg. Just undecided where to go with these numbers
Unfortunately the last blood test I had was capped at 1500 so tbh I’m not sure what it sits at currently

I’ll be 37 next week.
Sustanon I’ll run 700-800 week
Prop I’m gonna try 75mg daily soon (been a long while)
Test E/C around 600mg…
Im 58 and 200mg of 200cyp puts me over 1500. Im running 150mg now pinning 3xweek.
Range 500mg 250cyp for 8 week blast and my e2 went crazy high. Meh
How high ?
Bro...122 No fkn bueno
Are you going to lower the test dose or add an ai or you can take 20-30 milligrams aday of eq
Yea, this was in March and April. I need another blood done to see exactly where I am but Im pretty sure Im closer to my norm.
Post blast Im at 150mg tedt cyp a week pinning 3x. Took my ai and p5p. I wasn't aware of EQ lowering e2.
Mother fucker I’m 29. Don’t age me with this poll lol
Haha not sure where else the poll popped up but I meant this to go in the "Over 40 & TRT" forums brother!
So you and Pete aren't even Bloody 30 yet??!! Ohh what it is to be young LMAO
All that really happens as you get older is you become more responsible and accountable - but the way you generally feel and act stays the same, such as when ya see a sexy bird you still fantasize about drilling her ass!!
Yes
Yup! I’ll be 30 in July!
Fuckin youngins... I'll tell you what youngster. Was just yesterday that I turned 30. Those 10 years go by damn fast.
