Trt / starting a cycle help

Pharma

Hi,

Tldr 2 questions:

I have test C and I’m injecting every 10/11 days (Friday then 10 days later Monday, then 11 days later Friday) for TrT. Never had issues. But is it worth swapping to e7D? I’ve seen conflicting info.

In the winter I plan to bulk and run a moderate cycle. I’m planning on moving to 150 e7D. Then every week rumping up 50mg for 6 weeks and then staying at 400mg for a 6 weeks. Before coming back to to a cruise of 100mg/week. Any flaws thoughts on this? And any pit falls I need to be aware of?

Longer write up.

I was put on TrT last year (October 25). I was given gels. Worked for 2 weeks then it went to shit. So I spoke to a guy and got some test C. Now taking that for TrT. I read up and the advice was 100mg/week. Administered every 7-10 days.

Due to work I administer:

155mg then 11 days later:

145mg then 10 days later 155mg. So 300mg/3 weeks. This was done to avoid pinning during runs of shifts. But this is no longer an issue.

I’m planning to move to 100mg e7D. As it’s simpler to track. Is there any reason not to?

To date my bloods are fine. My endo still thinks I’m on the gels. So reviews my labs for me every 3 months. And they are looking good. Good T, sightly high red blood cell count. But I was mildly dehydrated on test day so this would account.

Cycle:

My endo has me on 12 weekly bloods. But assuming everything is good, I’m going to 12 months bloods as of October 26. So I want to start a cycle. Or more accurately a blast on my TrT. I’m a long term lifter. Done a few strong man events in the past. Could still maybe still pull off a 220 push press. Or a 190 log. After a summer of low T weight gain and felling shit I’m making an effort. An effort to be able to look at myself and feel proud. Am I taking a short cut? Yes. Do I care? No.

I’ve never run a cycle before. I’ve had some advice from people I know. But I want to run the advice past more people.

2 trains of thought.

Jump straight to 4/500mg/week for 12 weeks. Sides are likely to be minimal. And I can drop back to TrT at any time. I know I’ll come off and lose some of the gains from the blast. But I’ll still look and preform better that before.

Second idea ramp up over time. Increase T by 50mg/week for a few weeks. Hit 400/week. Stay a while. Then drop. I’ll gain less. But it will be easier to manage sides. Which I’m conscious of.

Thoughts on these ideas?

Height, wt, goals, age?

I would suggest simplifying your post - it’s hard to track all of what you have going on and are asking.

I would switch TRT to E7D or less and see what happens, but your current stats and goals would be beneficial.

I’m almost on the same boat, looking for advice on how to start a Sustanon cycle while on TRT.

Right now I take 70mg of testo C 2x week and 500IU of hcg 3x week.

I am planning on keeping the same dosage protocol of test C and HCG + 125mg Sustanon 2x week.

Im stacking with 20/20mg of Anavar a day.

I will be taking 12.5 mg Aromasin eod.

Because I will be still on my trt protocol when the 10 week Sustanon cycle is over, I don’t think I need any PCT….do I?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Sorry for the delay. I have intense and something unpredictable work commitments.

Stats:41 years old.

Height 6 foot on the dot

Current weight 225/228

Lifts? A nasty accident in 2024 left me unable to squat/deadlift (disk injury) and straight bench is like wise out (rotator cuff partial thickness tear on side the other side had a clavicle displacement). So I can’t give you a SBD.

The lifts I measure for progress are :

Pull ups 3 sets of 7-8.

One arm rows sets of 10-12 with 100lb

Seated press 8-10 with 135lb.

Close grip bench (using the Swiss bar) 175lb for 8-10.

I do sled pulls,leg extensions and curls. But honestly - and sort of load down the spine. Even sled pushes and I’m bed bound for days.

The goals? Look better naked. I want to pop my shirt off and not feel embarrassed.

Simplified. Is it best taking test c every 7 days or every 10/11. Which you answered,thank you.

And then a cycle. Aim to start in the autumn winter once / if I hit sub 190lb. Is it best to jump from the 100mg/week I’m on, straight to 400mg/ week or slowly increase the dose?
