From cruise to blast...?

[AndroSport]

If you know me at all you probably know that I am not new to AAS by any stretch but quite new to TRT... so this question is for some of the other bros here who have been on TRT/HRT for some time and have made the transition from cruise to blast and back a few times and IF you have cycled in the past before starting your TRT/HRT protocol...

Have you noticed a difference in the amount of time it takes for your blast/cycle to "kick in" or a difference in the amount of time it takes your body/receptors to begin metabolizing the higher levels of test since it is already processing exogenous test? Faster? Slower? Any differences with test by itself or with other compounds?

Getting ready to run a nice little blast here and curious as to how my body will react to it or process it considering I have been on a cruise/maintenance dose of 200mg/wk cyp for the past 8 weeks or so.

**NOTE: I will post more info on my blast & progress in a separate thread once i start: Test Cyp/Mast E/Var plan to open with about 6-8 weeks of Var @ 50mg/day. I have almost everything in hand and am badly itching to start it all. I may give in and start the var a week earlier than everything else just to see how it interacts with my TRT test base alone. I know some people are looking for feedback on the liquid oral var I will be running as well so id like to chart how it feels as things ramp up

Aww shit Dros bout to get it in! Is it me or does it seem like everyone on this board is on cycle right now, gotta love it.. sorry no trt experience with me.. I'm just a young'n

I wish I had more info for you bro. My situatiuon is the exact opposite. I have experience with trt but this is only my second cycle. Sorry I couldn't help more.

TRT Gray Beard, here. In my experience, 3-4 weeks on "blast" before I can truly feel the new serum levels.

Best of luck with yours! Train hard!

I just finished up my first blast since starting trt. So, I dont have a whole lot of info for you. I am very pleased with my results and now have added some var to my trt dose to lean out a bit more. I will be starting a Primo cycle probably within the next 2 months. The best part of trt is no PCT Woot!

Interesting, thanks Noble "50 Shades of Grey" Beard

I will have to keep some detailed notes/logs so that I can see how things change for me... I would think if anything I would start metabolizing the new levels of test a little quicker but maybe the newly introduced compounds take a little longer to work their magic.

Good questions and looking forward to the answers
If my pct don't take my last blood test base of 206 up I'm gojng
On trt. Or basically doing it my self. So I'll be following this

I will take down as much info as I can on the experience...

I will be moving to cruising on my own after this (going through an in-person clinic now) but only worried about the fact that I travel for work etc so would need be able to travel with it... still trying to figure this piece out but going into see a doctor every week is not optimal.

Im in the same situation, cycling now and then going to TRT myself for a few months before cycling again. I've done TRT before with Kaiser, but i've not cycled until now.

Im also keen to know how to transition from a blast dose to a cruise dose - is it a matter of doing from 600mg test to 200mg test in a week? I take it you dont need to bother with the clomid/nolva stuff and just keep your E in check?

You don't need to mess w/ PCT. It's one positive to being on TRT. Clomid can be used for the cohones if you need them larger etc but you wouldn't use it in a PCT fashion.

I have seen logs for guys on TRT tapering their dose back down to TRT levels but not sure how many do it this way... that is probably another good question to see how most do that piece whether they taper (i.e.: 600mg/400mg/200mg or 600gm/500mg/400mg/300mg/200mg) or just go straight from the higher dose to their normal TRT dose like 600mg/200mg?

In most of my time I have not seen a need, personally, to taper dosages for standard Cycle then PCT so I would suspect most might just drop it back to the normal dose... but I have seen multiple schools of thought on this so I welcome any input an existing TRT/HRT guy may have on this piece of it as well.

I just go back to my trt dose. I have not read anything about tapering down. I'm not sure why there would be a need to do it that way. It's not like your nuts are going to start working again. My only thought would be maybe it helps maintain the blast gains. I'll have to look into it.

Thanks... I agree with the way you do it. Never really seen a need for tapering but have seen people include it in their regimen - never with much of any explanation as to why but there none the less. I plan do do my blast for somewhere around 20 weeks if work travel etc permits and drop back to normal TRT level doses... unless a well regarded MD study or someone could convince me it was a good idea to do otherwise.

It is all about esters just like going from natural. If you use cyp or enth it will take 4 weeks to get the new level stable if you go to prop day 15 you should be full on robot chubby! Now going back down it seems to only take about 2-3 weeks where you feel weird as they are going down but then you are back to rocking the stable levels and feeling good.
I actually lose strength and get really weird feeling when my levels are not stable going either up or down. Stable no matter which way I seem to get stronger and stronger.

My next cruise after this blast coming up I am going to take a longer break and see what I can do on just TRT for a while!

I tapered off last cycle it sucked ass do not do it takes longer for levels to get right.

there's no pct when crusing, I have done a huge cycle before going trt, jumping from a big cycle starting trt on doses of 300 mg of test c every 10 days and never had issues my libido, strength were high,
now you can pin doses of 300 mg up to every 15 days with test c and on test e up to 20 days and still feel great since they are long acting esters and still maintain high test levels in your blood, Im giving a cheaper way on not pinning so often

I'm not sure why more guys don't cruise with Test Undecanoate. It can be brewed at 500 mg/ml or possibly higher and only needs to be pinned once per month for TRT. Even if you pinned a full mL (500mg) once monthly, a bottle would last you 10 months... the sources that I know of that have Test UD have it for less than $100, so that's less than $10 per month for TRT. Plus, with the 1 pin per month, you can just continue that pin even when you're cycling. It becomes more cumbersome when you are pinning twice per week for TRT and you have to phase out that ester if you are using a different one or up the dosage. With the 1 pin per month it's rather nominal.

Another note: people are WAY TOO ANAL about stable blood levels. To be honest it's far less of a big deal than people make it out to be. There is no need to pin twice a week on TRT. IN fact, there is no need to pin cyp even once per week. The less frequent you pin (with the same overall dosage) the better the chance that you will achieve higher peak levels. If any of you have ever seen a chart for testosterone levels in the blood for test cypionate or even undecanoate, you can see that the levels never come "crashing down." In fact, it's a steady decline that's not even visibly noticeable on a daily basis. So, make it easier on yourselves and pin less often

I have tried test UD before it's great stuff but more expensive than test e or c

Hmmm, I guess I was just looking at it from the standpoint of taking the same mg per month no matter what ester. Let's say Test E 250 vs Test UD 500. If you do 500mg per month, then that's 1 CC of TUD and 2 CC of TE. So the UD lasts twice as long. With my current source, 2 bottles of test E only cost $4 less than 1 bottle of Test UD. So the price difference is negligible in that sense

Nice info here, My man Androgoat lol I will do some TRT and Var inject starting this next week (25th Aug) maybe some Mast P with it. Lets try do our best to provice the board best info and feedback possible. BTW post a picture of the goat every week during the log

I'd be curious as to what happens with estrogen levels on UD. My main concern is estrogen because I'm sensitive.
