Hey all, I'm on TRT protocol with Cyp, AI, and HCG. If anyone has any questions regarding TRT or bloodwork feel free to PM me or start a thread and I'll be sure to check it out. Been doing a lot of talking with all kinds of docs and basically been soaking up as much info as possible!

"Soaking it up".

That is our Spongy!

You're way ahead of at your age then I was at 40. So good to have all this information and guys like you sharing it. I've learned allot from my TRT and like to get some one on one with you and compare notes sometime.

hmmm, many doctors out there right now are freaked out at the prospect of prescribing any sort of treatment because of the fear of reprisal or being called a "steroid" doc. Your best bet is to educate yourself and find a doctor that is willing to hear you out, or to go through a clinic. I go through a clinic and the guys have been incredible. I know enough to self TRT, but I like being legal and having a second opinion when needed.

I just started this week, and I can definitely tell a difference! I will keep you updated, but It feels REALLY good. Can't beat this feeling of "well being" as they put it.

honestly I haven't had that issue, but from what I've heard it will definitely speed up recovery time! Maybe talk to CFM about that, I know he's practically worshiping his kits on a daily basis!

Spongy, are you then going to stick to your scripted TRT dose or are you going to blast and cruise?

that's a good questions Nble. I am actually one of the few people that never cycled or used exogenous hormones before starting TRT. I was just lucky enough to be one of the few chosen dudes with testosterone levels that fell off a cliff at the age of 25.

That being said, I'm seeing some great gains on my TRT dose of 210mg E5D and see no need to go higher at this point. I know that it will come to a point where I blast and cruise, but right now that is no necessary. Zeek, CrazyFMike, and I all agree that it is best to work what you have to its max potential before stepping it up.

I do, however, add other things to my trt such as HGH, IGF LR3 (not anymore, see my results), and Anavar. I also plan to run Masterone next year some time.

But to answer your question, for right now it's just straight TRT doses with a few extras along the way.

Great perspective, Brother. Sounds like you've got a solid plan.

I'm on TRT also (I'm a bit older than you are :) ) and candidly it was the TRT which got me back into the game as far as tightening-up my training and diet. I literally felt alive again, after being in a fog for about 5 years due to low Test.

From there, I did exactly what you are doing: maxed-out my potential slowly. Your Doc sounds like he knows what he's doing and has you on a decent TRT dose. Mine started me off at just 50 Mg per week - enough to shut me down but not nearly enough to get my Test levels back to good. From there, I more or less took control of my own TRT and then began incorporating other compounds (Mast, Tren) and the rest is history.

FWIW, I'm in the best shape of my life right now, my diet is tighter than it's ever been, body composition is best ever and my 40-something self would kick the snot out of my 20-something self in a cage fight :)

Best of luck, Spongy!
