100mg test cyp/week 12 weeks
1500 iu/week HCG Mono
160mg test cyp/week last 4 weeks
I started 80mg test cyp every 3.5 days (160mg/week)4 weeks ago after discontinuinh 1500iu/HCG Mono which didn’t do crap for me.
The only advantage I notice of 160mg test vs 100mg
-Faster strength gains
I feel crappy and irritable possibly down or numb all the time. Kind of reminds me when I had the ‘flu’ on my only cycle I did back in 2012 which was 500mg/12 weeks.
Check SHBG - Low SHBG men feel out of whack on higher doses something to do with insulin resistance and throwing off thyroid. Also any new protocol give ur about 6 weeks for body to stabilize before judging it
You’re just now at 4 weeks when the changes start mentally and physically. Follow up labs are usually taken 4-6 weeks after a new protocol. Take those and report back. E2 is always my culprit.
You’re on the lower end your body might possibly be urinating your T before it can build up properly. Try going EOD shots and throw some DIM+CDG in there clear away excess estrogens this helps me a lot when I get high e2 symptoms irritability etc. Most importantly BE PATIENT - take a look at my older threads freaking out 2 weeks in about all the same things you’re stating, things WILL level out but you have to be patient this is a VERY delicate system we are taking under our own hands the body needs time to adapt, until then learn to deal with the rollercoaster ride with adaptgens like Ashwagandha and use your conscious mind to avoid your emotions from taking over until things settle down in example when you feel like crap tell yourself rationally what is going on and that it will take time and not believe all the crazy shit that pops into your head (yea it really does get pretty nutty sometimes lol).
I noticed strength change as well on EOD I’m not too sure what it’s all about it could be less E since E would cause water retention in muscle and raise strength that way.
