In the past six months, I've seen an increase in the number of HRT guys who, for whatever reason, are going the "Blast and Cruise" route.
If that process brings you closer to achieving your personal goals then by all means consider it as an option.
For your decision-make process, I'd like to offer you a couple of points for consideration when evaluating the "Blast and Cruise" model as part of your HRT program.
1) The goal of HRT is all about improving health and quality of life.
I always get concerned when I see guys doing things that are contrary to their health and well being. For us older guys in our 40's or 50's and beyond, we know better and should act accordingly. The older guys are the ones I'm preaching to with this point. If you have risk factors like high BP, skewed lipid profile, excessive body fat, pre-existing health conditions, ect, don't ignore those things and think that shooting some test is going to make those things disapear. Address those issues head on and work to rectify the conditions. If you are drinking, smoking, have a poor diet, take the steps necessary to remedy the causes. Don't even think about a "blast" until you have those issues properly address. All you are doing is compounding risk factors by blasting.
2) If you have been on HRT less than a year don't "Blast and Cruise."
Look, you started HRT because you had a health issue - you felt bad enough to seek out help and try to alleviate the source of your illness. Let your body acclimate to your HRT protocol and give yourself some time to evaluate how it has impacted your health and well being. I hate to see guys 3 or 6 months into a new HRT protocol start "blastng." Heck, 6 months is nothing in terms of HRT. For most it will take at least a year before the full effects and refined protocol actually are realized fully. Give yourself time to establish a new baseline before you go tinkering with your program and screwing things up.
Okay, rant off.
