Switching from TRT to a cycle.....

[hardcore holly]

My TRT is....
125mg/wk of Test Cyp sub Q every other day
25iu hCG every other day
.25mg Arimidex Mon - Fri (total 1.25mg/wk)

I want to do a 10 week cycle of Hexavir 300 (like sustanon) and wondering if I should keep my AI (arimidex) dose the same?

*I will be switching right back to my TRT protocol after the cycle is over.

Any thoughts/feedback appreciated.

I am 44 5'11" 180 lbs with low BF. All labs done every 2 months and everything is A - OK.

I would keep the Arimdex dose the same unless you start to have sides...then increase.
Hell I dont use it at all.

I have a question, at 125mg. every other day what were your test level's at? Reason why i ask is when i was at 250mg. e7d my test came in at around 3200 and my Doc. said thats way too high. I'm guessing your's is pretty high and your Doc. is OK with that?

Edit: opps just reread your post "125mg/wk of Test Cyp sub Q every other day", thats 125mg broken down to every other day.

[hardcore holly]

125mg/wk total.....injected every other day. My test levels are a nice 1000ish.
I'm on TRT Bro not a cycle. 250/wk is not TRT, it's a light cycle and yes your test levels are way too high!
What were your E2 levels?
800-1000 is the sweet spot for TRT. TRT being full time, no breaks.....for life. Of course all other labs need to be inline or that number means nothing.

[hardcore holly]

The AI keeps my E2 levels in check.....no sides @ 1.25mg/wk.
Without it my E2 went through the roof.
All about balance.

I can't remember what the other numbers were, the only ones that stood out were the ones that were too high, test and colesterol. I've since cut my TRT in half.

I don't feel much at 125mg per week.

^^Same. Thinking about bumping it up some. I'm 52 whats the worst that could happen, sterility? :shock

[hardcore holly]

I found I felt best great @ 150mg/wk but my testosterone levels came back too high for my Doc to be comfortable.

Personally I feel pretty good @ 125mg/wk (+ 50mg/day DHEA) Labs at this dosage are all good and Testosterone is a little over the high "range" which is exactly where I want to be.

Sub Q with insulin pin is the ONLY way to go......unless you are doing a big cycle with large amounts of injectible in which case you just can't fit enough in the syringe.

Easy, no pain, no scar tissue and can do your quads or shoulders (I'm sure other places to but that's where I inject) Also for anyone doing frequent shots (like every other day) you can just preload for the week.

Doing more frequent shots keeps your Test levels balanced. I feel much better doing it this way than once a week.

Lots of info out there on this subject.

How the hell to you have the patience to suck the test out using a insulin pin? I tried it takes to long.

[faller]

Probably wouldn't be that hard, at every other day that comes out to about 41-42mg. I wouldn't have clue how you would figure that out in a regular barrel. I've never seen a insulin pin, is it easier to measure that low with one?

Yes,takes a little patience,maybe some warmth.

[hardcore holly]

Dude I take it on the toilet with me...by the time I finish my morning poop it's full! That easy. Of course I am only drawing 18iu of test enanthate per injection. And yes warming it up a little helps.

^^^Sounds like a nice sterile situation.

[hardcore holly]

Not like it's coming in contact with my turd! Can that stuff go airborne?
So maybe my gains are coming from test and turd.......might be onto something here!
Either way, it's my system and it works.

[faller]

Can that stuff go airborne?

Lol, mine does :shock

Just messing with ya, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Me, i'm just paranoid, after 4 years of problem free pinning on HRT i've had two sterile infections in my last two pinz. I'm overly cautious now.

[hardcore holly]

Wow that sucks! I've been on HRT for about 18 months with zero problems AND I even use the same pin for my hCG as I do for my Test. ......... Cuz I'm ****ing cheap! (I knew you were gonna ask)
Where are you injecting?

[faller]

When i had the infections it was delts, alternated left to right each week. At first i thought it was maybe too frequent pinning in the same area so now i do quad's, delts and VG.. I was down to about 3 pin's worth in the vial and now supect that some how i contaminated the last bit. I threw it out and opend a new vial and it's all good.

Sub Q for Test? I use Test E for TRT....after a while too much scar tissue builds up in delts, glutes, quads. If Sub Q works the same all the better. My doc mentioned something about pinching the skin to inject it. Never did it though as I was not experienced to do so. Anyone know what pins I need to ask for from the pharmacist, what's are good spots to shoot in for the sub q shots of Test?

I would appreciate the help.

I don't feel much at 125mg per week.

Me neither, my doc last year put me on 140 mg/week and told me to increase to 180 mg if I saw fit.

Definate here's a link to a thread that is pretty long but tons of info there..
