Great post Zieg, possibly questioning your own regimen? I get it.

56, 6'2", 258lbs
Test C-250mg/ml-500mg/10days
No AI
1500>
Been doing it so long I honestly couldn't tell you from a mental standpoint what it does for me (no data for comparison). From a physical angle, muscle mass remains intact, and solid as long as I keep training, again no data to compare to when not using test.
Many will say 500mg/10days is not TRT, it is a cycle, but I feel like its the sweet spot for me after much experimentation.

53 y.o., 5'-9", 220
Test Cyp. 200mg/wk, one injection.
No AI on TRT- no hcg
Being TRT, I test the valleys and will not go below 600. Peak is about 1,000 but that's only been tested maybe twice.
My E2 will hold at 30 on 200mg/wk with no AI
Prior to TRT about 10 years ago I didn't realize how low my energy dipped; just thought I was getting older. After 3 months of TRT it was easy to see I had more energy. Sex drive prior to TRT was good and didn't have any brain fog. I was still relatively strong but TRT did help the way I looked.

please answer the following questions

age height weight -- 29 5,10 220lb

ester - mg per ml - dosage per week per 5 days etc. - Test C 100mg/wk

ai dosage if any - hcg dosage if any - 0/0

where that puts your testosterone & estrogen levels - Test somewhere between 400-550 (Dr wont Rx it higher). Estrogen dont know exacts but no issue

things it helps you with mentally physically- general sense compared to the lower end of the 100 test levels. overall in the gym feel much better soon as stabilized levels in "normal" range

37yo 5’10 and 180lbs

Test Cyp 200mg/wk. split into 2 injections
1mg Arimedex split with each injection
hcg 500iu with each pin (pretty sure)

Test 1300-1500 E2 25-30
Makes me not come home and sit on the couch and give in to lethargy.
like snake I had no symptoms with sex drive, thinking or depression. Just laziness.

32yo and 5'10'' 195lbs
Test C 200mg/wk
.5mg/ Arimidex day of pin
1500> and E2 30-50

Mentally: more confident, decisive, self-assured, prone to action. I used to procrastinate a lot and now I find myself just doing things because they need done

Physically: More reactive to the gym, my body responds better during bulking/cutting phases - mass remains more intact during a cut.

Sust @ 125mg once a week.
No AI, hcg maybe once a year or less

I've recently lowered my dose down to 125/week and have not run bloods at this level. I'd say 175-200 feels better, 125 seems to be the bottom end of feeling just ok.

40 - 6’1 275lbs

100mgs/ml Cypionate 1ml/week

No AI

Not sure where that puts me yet, the young lady at the clinic was giving me 200mgs/week by mistake... which put me at >1500 and 41 free (8-24 range). E was over 100, no symptoms though. I have begun TRT through my pcp and have 2 weeks at the correct dose, doing labs next month.

Mentally, I’m a lot more motivated. Physically, my arthritic joints are feeling better, and libido is on fire. Recovery is fast, fat is melting. In 11 weeks, gained 11lbs while tightening a notch on the belt.

200 mg test cyp/week taken 100mg on Sun/Wed

Arimadex 1mg/week taken 0.5 mg Sun/Wed

Puts test levels at 1100 and estradiol at 34

TRT improved sleep, focus at work, mood, and wood. And honestly I actually feel better most of the time on TRT overall then on a cycle, but then that's probably because on cycle I'm either packing calories in or cutting calories, both of which suck after a while.

age height weight:
42 yrs old, 5'10", 185lbs

ester - mg per ml - dosage per week per 5 days etc:
62.5 mgs per week of VERY overdosed 250 mg/ml Test Enanthate. Split into two doses, Monday and Friday. The following results are roughly what I used to get on about 140 mg of RX Test Cypionate.

ai dosage if any - hcg dosage if any:
No AI or HCG for me anymore.

where that puts your testosterone & estrogen levels:
Test level is about 825 ng/dl and Estradiol is about 20 pg/ml, blood drawn the day after an injection.

things it helps you with mentally physically
or both if any that you are aware of:

Prior, I had ZERO desire for sex, always cranky, always felt tired and beat up, just felt bllaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. Had my test level checked, it was low but in range, free test level was low and out of range. Primary didn't care, so I visited a Men's Health clinic.

52 years old - 5.10 180cm) 198 (90Kg)

Sustanon 250mg/ml vial
125mg/0.5ml every 3 days
Arimidex 0.25mg EOD

Before:
Zero libido. Severe ED, I couldn’t get a boner even with viagra or cialis (soft boner and not lasting).
Lethargic all day, no will, no energy, no focus.
Testosterone was in the 240 to 370, Estrogen 50 to 80.

Started auto TRT last month. No TRT doctors or clinic in my country, so I just bought the only thing available in local pharmacies over the counter: Sustanon 250/1ml vials.
I pin in the belly fat with 27gauge half inch needle.

After 14 days libido was back and ended a 8 month nightmare.
After 3 weeks, Test around 1200 and Estrogen 60 so I added 0.25mg Arimidex EOD and will control again in 2 or 3 weeks.

I was planning to lower my dose from 125mg every 3 days to 100mg and finally 75mg every 3 days to cruise on TRT with minimum doses, but I changed my mind and want to experiment 250mg every 3 days and see the effects from this week.
I will eventually cruise on a low TRT later, I just don’t know what to expect at 500mg/week and it seems safe enough to try.

age 46

height 5' 11"

weight 245 pounds

ester - cypionate 200 mg per ml - dosage per week .43 ml every 3.5 days

ai dosage if any .25 mg of Anastrozole 2x per week, then 3x per week. Essentially I alternate between .5 mg of Anastrozole one week and .75 mg of Anastrozole the next week week then repeat the cycle

hcg dosage if any - 500 iU every 3.5 days

where that puts your testosterone > 1500 last time :32 (6):, and usually around 1200 total & estrogen levels 52.3 pg/mL estradiol sensitive

things it helps you with mentally physically:

It removed the brain fog because I used to not be able to concentrate for shit and concentration is key to what I do in life!

I have motivation to do stuff now whereas before, I thought I had clinical depression because EVERYTHING was a major chore with me. I once didn't want to turn a computer on to do work because I knew I was going to have to sit through windows updates. That just goes to show you how even the simplest task was a major hassle for me prior to TRT.

I no longer sleep 12, or more, hours per day, whereas prior to TRT 12 or more hours was the norm

Sex is the greatest it has been in quite some time even though FD says it never was bad from his perspective.
:confused:

I recover faster from my workouts

I can lose fat without churning through more muscle than fat when I diet, which I need to do again.

It also eliminated some of the minor aches and paints associated with aging and exercising while at the same time giving me new aches and pains in my joints from lifting heavy shit

Quick update. I just had labs run and came back at 546 TT and 39.5 E2. Blood draw was morning of pin day, or seven days from last pin. 550ish is too low for me, I just don't feel right. I'm going to bump it up a bit after my next Dr appointment.
