4 wk on/off cycles or TRT?

[Cakalac]

I went to Dr and had my bloods done and my total T came back 381. All other checks were spot on. My question is at that # would you guys opt for 4 wk on and off cycles that would total 4-5 a yr with standard PCT instead of doing TRT? As far as what I'm looking to gain out of this is more energy later in the day. Yes some lean muscle mass but that's not my main objective here. I'm lean and fit already. The slow steady gains in 4on/4off would make me happy with minimal shut down. Or the hell with it and just leave it be. For now he gave me 60mg troche to take 2x/day. Not sure how I feel about those yet after research. Seems they will just be a yoyo effect on my system. Idk.

How do you figure minimal shut down with 4 week cycles?

That is a mistype. That should have been "sides". May have been thinking about shut down when I typed it out.

doing 4 weeks on/off is going to lead to you eventually being on TRT......



so whats the point?

Feeling decent for 4 weeks, and then feeling like shit for 4 weeks?
Or just feeling good every week on trt

Well that's why I'm asking for advice on here. I don't know the "best" point. I'm trying to decide that. I do however think if I'm going to do trt with a 381 that I want it to be enough to get me in the 800-1000 range. 5-600 I don't feel is worth it. Not to mention building muscle in that range could still be challenging. Then again I don't know what 5-6 feels like because I don't have a gauge so I will see what the next bloods say in 8 wks.
