Just got my Test, AI and hCG, and was about to start his protocol (start with 100mg/week. 1mg ai/week. Weekly hCG) untill I realized KSman hasn’t been around in a while, and that his absence might be due to his protocol being “challenged”.
So, now I’m wondering - before I start - if there is a different, updated, protocol that’s being recommended.
Start with just T. Make sure you get labs done before you start if you haven’t already. Don’t take an AI or HCG. After 8 weeks or so you can get labs again and compare to how you feel. Adjust dose accordingly. Once you are where you want to be you can add HCG if you need to. 100mg is a very low dose. Unless TRT puts your SHBG very low you’ll likely need a higher dose to get where you want to be.
I agree with that guy. T only to start. Give it 8 weeks. Inject at least weekly, 2-3x a week works well for a lot of people too. See how you feel
AI’s are rarely needed.
HCG, some people on it feel better, some worse. Best to keep it simple in the beginning and see how you do on just T
Start with Test only. IMO 1mg AI is way too much for 100mg a week. If you do have to start an AI. Start with a low dose and be patient. Arimidex is very strong and will knock e2 down very effectively.
KSman was a broken record.
Without ANY regard for the nuances of peoples situations, he’d recommend the exact. same. thing. to everyone.
I’m sure he’s a well meaning guy and what not, but it’s better off for everybody here that he’s not spewing his cookie-cutter advice anymore.
I agree with the homies here. Start with test only and take it from there.
Have you tried chugging orange juice?
No one size fits all approach to TRT.
