42 YO, New test cyp cycle feedback requested

[newb@42]

**This is a re-post from another section (recommended from a member). Any feedback appreciated.

42 yr old male
5'11, 187lbs
Bodyfat 14%

Not a bodybuilder. Just a 42 year old male that has been hitting the gym with a very clean diet for past year with little results, at least not those i noticed 10 years ago with less effort and a horrible diet.
I had blood work done at test, serum came back at 368
Estridol at 34.2

Prescribed:
1.test cyp 200 MG/ML (10 ML Vial), 1 milliliter IM injection 1x per week.

2. Anastrozole 1.2MG Capsule 1x per day

3. HCG 500 IU Lozenges under tongue 3x per week

I have an athletic build, an increasing 4 pack that i am still working on with diet, lifting and maybe not enough cardio.

Much of what i have read/seen on this site and others seems to make my test cyp dose very low...I think.

First time using anything other than creatine , whey protein and pre work out drinks.

I am curious and would appreciate any and all feedback. Hope i have provided the proper amount of info.

200mg per week is plenty for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), definitely not a low dose. Way to much anastrozole, 1mg per week is a common dosage.

I think what u got is good for a start

I agree with this, that 1mg of anastrozole a day is way too much. your going to crash your E2 down to zero on that much.

super low estrogen is just as bad as too high estrogen.

I'm on 140 -160 mg a week and I've seen big gains in the gym in 2 months. I'm 41 6'0" 180#.

I agree way too much adex, that's a huge amount. that'll bottom out your estrogen and cause joint pain and you'll feel like crap and be walking like a 90 year old.

I started at 1mg a week then .25 eod. Even that has my knees hurting. I've now began taking my injections twice a week e3.5d and I may be able to get off adex completely as my e seems to be staying lower on its own with more frequent injections.

Thanks to all!

Just got off the phone with the doc.

Misprint from Pharmacy (disconcerting on many levels). Shot on Monday followed by 1 pill of anastozole on Tuesday another on Wednesday.

I really cant thank you all enough!

Just have them keep an eye on your e as that's still a lot for some people, but it may be ok for you.

 

[newb@42]

Thanks. With this feedback I surely will. Cycle is 15 weeks and I am scheduled for a blood test to be done before my last injection.

So stoked I found this site, and those of you who reply.

reply.

Cycle? Trt isn't a cycle. It's not something you should be planning on getting off if you have a deficiency its for life. Of course you can get off it but you'll have to do a restart like pct after a steroid cycle. otherwise you'll feel horrible, lose muscle, put on lots of s of fat etc.

Thanks...should have been more concise on the "cycle". I know this is a life long journey, what I meant was that the initial 15 week "cycle" is going to be done, and then i am going to have my blood work done again. This second blood work is my choice and with the feedback i have received regarding the estrogen issue I am happy that i made that decision in the first place. Sorry for any confusion.
