That’s wild man. With your TT so high I’d get the most out of this gainz-wise while you can, before deciding to blast
Your Total and free T are already very high, you are very strong and therefore almost certainly have an appreciable amount of muscle, and you have proven that you have the discipline to lose fat.
I worry about three things for you:
-
For someone at your advanced level, bumping up Test to 500 doesn’t usually offer the dramatic increases in size, strength, gains one would expect. Sure, it works well for a small, natural guy’s first cycle, but you’re already pretty advanced. I think it may disappoint you, at present. If you wait until you are really lean, you might appreciate the 5-10 additional pounds of muscle, because you’ll actually be able to see it.
-
It will almost certainly dramatically increase your appetite and therefore potentially derail your amazingly effective diet strategy and derail progress.

I am somewhat high body fat, like you. Tape measure and skin fold tell me I am at 19%. I might actually be more. I can tell you that the more Test I inject, the worse I feel, and the more sides I get. The point of diminishing returns for me is at about 250 mgs/wk. Reading the experience of many, many other guys tells me that this point of diminishing returns is higher, the leaner you are. You will almost certainly tolerate, maybe even enjoy, the 500mgs much more if you wait until you are leaner.
But I know it is hard to wait. Best of luck to you in whatever you decide.
Hey mate, I did my first 14 week cycle of Test E I’m currently running TRT 250mg week Test E and sit around 19% BF also.
I was doing recomp on the cycle with calories around 10% below maintenance and still put in around 3kg while losing 2% bf.
On TRT I’m not running any Arimidex and have no sides apart from some slight hair loss but I’ve been prone to that anyway.
I’m now trying to cut down to around 12% to 14% before going on another cycle. Based on your comment, would adding an AI help boost fat loss? I don’t have any bloods.
good question.
