Im sure yiu guys get tired of this but here i go anyway.
Age: 26 HT: 6’ WT: 175lbs
Im a veteran. I suffered a TBI and was cooked by microwave radiation so my nads literally got cooked. After two years of debating with docs bc of my age and the wife bc of severity of treatment i decided to start trt. My labs were as follows:
Current protocol:
Test Cyp: .3 ml 3x a week subQ @ 200mg/ml
Anastrozole .125mg : 2x a week as needed for side effects
HcG: .3 ml 3x a week
Treated my thyroid first then landed on trt. Been lifting simce middle school football. And continued while i was active duty. Never went longer than a few weeks without the gym most my life. When i started trt i read alot on yere about body fat and how it can be harful on testosterone. So i spent my first year cutting. Down from 215 to now 175 roughly 13% bf now.
Ive never done a cycle however. I want to bulk back up just a cleaner way. Got my diet tuned and wanted to do a blast. I just hit my 1 year on trt in febuary and plan to do a test only blast. Docs accidently sent me 2 10ml of test e @250mg/ml
Any recomendations for a good blast with just test e ontop of cyp? Also is test e safe for subQ injections? I did IM the first 4 months of trt and the pip was horrible for me…
Wow man, cooked by microwave radiation. That sounds bad. So glad your OK now.
IMO 1 additional 10ml bottle of T is not going to be enough for a real blast. I’ve been on TRT for about 7 years and I have blasted twice a year for the last 3 years. I have tried many different T amounts starting my first was 300/wk I did this for 6weeks and I honestly felt no stronger. Only when I tried 500 TE only for 8 weeks did I feel a noticeable difference in my strength, endurance, and recovery time.
So you’re on 180mg/w as of right now. And you’ve got an additional 5g at your disposal. I say run your usual dose + 400mg for the next 12 weeks. Eat right and you’ll put on slabs of meat.
Somebody was tired of us once. Don’t worry about this.
If I understand you correctly, you’ve got an extra 5,000 mgs of test E on hand, on top of your TRT regimen? That’s a good amount of stockpile. What you do with it is totally up to you, but…
To give you some options…
Because you’re on TRT for life now and shutdown and PCT are not an issue…
you could run 300 mgs a week for a very long time a make nice steady progress on it with minimum risks. As long as you are eating a big surplus and lifting really heavy, it will keep working for you until you are over 200 pounds. It won’t be dramatically quick like some people want, and many guys even scoff at 300 saying “why do 300 when you could do X?” You’re probably smart enough to know that you could make that argument about any dose. It’s just silly. But if you are eating and training correctly, 300 will work. John Meadows said in a video of his I was watching one day, “If you’re new to PEDs and can’t grow on 300mgs of Test, your diet and training are crap.”
At the other end of the spectrum, you could adopt the GO BIG OR GO HOME attitude and run up to 600 total mgs of Test a week for up to 20 weeks (12 weeks with the quantity you have on hand) and not be in any real danger. There are studies backing this. Since you are on TRT and PCT is not a concern, the long cycle is not an issue so long as mid-cycle labs don’t show any detriment to your health. If you choose to go this route, know that there is a little bit more risk and possibly more side(albeit not much) and I recommend bloods mid-cycle, just to be safe. I also recommend having an AI on hand, and I see you have one from your TRT protocol.
Best of luck to you in whatever you choose. Any more questions?
What was your weight when you started TRT and now? How has your body comp,changed? At the one year mark, if utilized properly, most TRT benefits are achieved by then. Question is… have you utilized the full,potential yet? If not, I would wait. Your are kind of a light weight at 6’ tall. I’m 5-6” shorter than you and cut right now DOWN to 185.
So which in all honestly would be better? I get my blood work done every 6 months so i gotta plan the blast between them… figured if i started the day i do my 6 month draw 20 weeks might be an option. But would 6 weeks be enought to get levels back down for not next 6 month labs?
Yeah P-3 aircraft radar… Watched a water bottle sitting on the cart infront of me water start to boil within about 30 seconds then pop before i started to feel dizzy and sick haha. I had GI and vision issues for about 3 years after because those things cook you inside out still dealing with plenty of other tuff too. Wouldnt say im ok but im alive and thankful so thank you!!!
insulin resistance, which occurs in type 2 diabetes.
hypothyroidism.
Cushing disease.
nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
acromegaly (too much growth hormone in adults)
androgen steroid use.
My SHGB used to be 34 and after several years of TRT it dropped to 26 but since I have been blasting twice a year now for the last 3 my SHGB has hit the dirt.
I had a TBI and was irradiated. I had patuitary damage and my igf was low too as well as my thyroid being shot. Im being treated for a pleathura of things my E2 was low too. Just about all my hormones have ceased production… but my last labs everything was back in the green except my T its on the high side but im loving it and doc doesnt have an issue last blood draw was
Serum: 756 ng/dL
Free: 32
SHBG: 28.6
So ive rebounded. Those tests were my diagnoses test.
20 weeks was recomended by professor hulk. So i was asking about it. Also i have no issues with 20 weeks. Seings ass im on trt for life and e plenty of stock of e2 supressors. And seeing as im not stacking with tbol dbol or npp seems a heavy blast may be better in this case.
If you’re patient, 300/wk for as long as you wish + a well designed lifting program + lots of food. If you’re impatient, 600/wk x 12 weeks + same.
I didn’t recommend it, per se. I just said up to 600 x 20wks has been proven safe. If I recall, you only have enough Test to go 12wks at 600, no? See above. If you’re impatient and want to have to buy a whole new wardrobe in three months, go 600x12. But make sure you really know how to train (no stupid fucking bro splits that I see most guys your age doing) and eat correctly (clean 4,000+ a day) so it isn’t wasted.
More than enough for bloods to stabilize back at TRT doses. This slow and steady return to TRT levels over six weeks is what’s generally recommended.
However, You can get T levels back down in a matter of days, not weeks if you have to, though. In a pinch, you could just not inject anything at all for 10-14 days and be back down to abysmal T levels for labs. The stuff clears out insanely fast.
No insult to you OP, but if you were 215 at 16%, at your height, BEFORE TRT, you have incredible genetics and you were fucking jacked out of your mind.
Not very as people carry fat in different places. For example: I carry a lot of fat in my mid section, but not as much in my arms and legs, so they get shredded pretty quick even though I might not have a full 6 pack visible. My former gym partner could look soft AF in the arms and legs, but still have a full 6 pack.
Plus, the measurements depend on how tight they’re taken, where on the waist they’re taken, how accurate the height measurement is, etc.
As long as they’re consistently taken it’s an easy and quick way to track progress, but not very accurate for absolute bodyfat measurement.
