I was going to post this in the 35+ section, but as its about Test E then I will post here
So I am 37, been in the gym, diet and nutrition is on point for at least 10 years, I was on and off before the last 10 years.
The last 2 years have been bad, no matter what Im struggling to keep weight off, I am struggling to make and hold muscle⦠I have been tested and its low test, however the NHS wont do anything.
So I have kids and have not desire for more, I will be seeking help from Test E.
I dont want to get on a cocktail of gear, I want it to be simple⦠ideally just test E, just to be able to keep building muscle and not all turn to fat
but where do I start 200mg? 1x a week? for 12 weeks? I have no idea⦠All advice is from 20 year olds doig test as āmy first roidā then get on a cocktail ⦠and have 20inch arms⦠Where my criteria is basically test replacement.
If thatās your goal then you have a pretty clear path ahead of you. I assume you have blood work already (since you said test is low), so what youāll need now is a dosage and the gear. The gear part is up to you, but the dosage is easier. Most TRT is run between 150-200mg/w, usually split doses. That should give you what youāre looking for. If youāre planning to run it at replacement levels then 12 weeks is sort of out of the question. Youāll do more harm than good in the long run. Youāll get 9-10 weeks of good mood, increased libido, added strength, and overall better gains. Then youāll come off and have to recover back to your baseline, which is already low. Youāll end up right back where you are now. Itās one of the reasons that guys in their mid-late 30ās are on a blast and cruise schedule or just run TRT straight away.
Basically youāre talking about self treatment of TRT. You need a reliable source, otherwise you just have to do it. Need syringes.
I pin 125 mg twice a week for a 250/week dose. At that level I donāt take anything for estrogen control but everyone is different and you should have tamoxifen in hand and be ready to take 20 mg EOD.
If youāre going on itāll be for life. At your age, no need for cycles.
TRT doses are dependent on the person. I dose 250/wk which is definitely the higher end of a TRT dose (donāt think itād be considered a TRT dose to be honest). My endo originally put me at 100mg every two weeks - waste of time imo but heās just looking to put me back to normal.
First blast cycle would be typically 400-500mg/wk depending on how your test is dosed per cc. Blast 12-16 weeks then back to TRT dose.
