Been ON for 26 weeks, Wanna tame it down

[Bullishness]

Hey guys gotta quick question. I have been on cycle for 26 weeks straight, Test 300 mon - 300 thr .Deca - 150 mon- 150 - thr. This is my 3rd cycle and i am 48 yrs 6'0 at 215 lb and approx 10% bf. Carrying lots of muscle.

I want to slow this ride down to a more normal range and cruise for awhile and then blast again down the road. My last blood test showed my Test serum level at 4005 ng/dl.

Normal range shows 348-1197. I was thinking of running at 200 or 250 of test cyp once a week, Pinning every Friday. Does this seem like a normal protocol ? And then in a few months blast at 500 for maybe 12 or 16 weeks?

Thanks,

200 would be a normal testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) level for a weekly dose, how's your blood looking after all those weeks? Hematocrit get high?

I should ask your stats, height and weight as you might be ok at 250 , really what makes you feel ok as long as your blood work supports it

Out of curiosity, which lab did you use for your hormone panel? I've used quest diagnostics and labcorp and both only show >1500ng/dL for supraphysiological levels. (Same reference range for labcorp as what you have stated though)

I had bloods done through Private MD Labs, Lab Corp. Female Panel, I feel great with no sides i uped my Adex from .5 e3d to .5 eod because my estradiol hit 76. Everything else was in check. I give blood every 2 months to keep things in balance. At my age i need to weigh Risk vs Reward, I thought about just coming off completely and doing a proper post cycle therapy (pct) and let thing get fired up again naturally. Not sure if i wanna cruise at 200-250 or just come off and do a cycle later.

if you can get back to a normal production and feel good thats the best route, do the PCT and get off for a while

Weird! That's where I normally get mine done too! It must be a regional thing...

Totally agree with this. Pinning 2x a week for the rest of your life just so you can skip PCT on a cycle isn't that great of a tradeoff. Granted, if you happen to become hypogonadic - it's an upside.

I also get my labs done from private MD labs, lab corp and it only says >1500. Yes, this is a rough cycle I'd get off asap to try and recover hcg and pct protocol. Did you use any prami or caber with the deca during cycle (just curious)?

Well if you plan on being on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for life than just cruise at 200mg or so for a while. If not, then you will need a very aggressive post cycle therapy (pct). At your age I would think about your goals and everything and consider that you may very well be end up on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) anyways. My opinion is at your age if you are going to continue cycling for many years then its probably better just to cruise and go for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) rather than continuing putting your body through trying to recover and being shut down. Very good that your giving blood and staying on top of blood-work and everything.

I do have Prami on hand but never felt the need to use it this time around. Is pinning once a week enough to make any gains while training? Or would it just be a maintenance level? And what if i ran at 300 test cyp per week, pinning every friday?

 

[lakers0812]

Pinning once a week is fine. You'll still make good gains. 300 is obviously more than a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose but if your cruising for a bit that's fine. If I were you I'd cruise on 200. Just watch your hematocrit and other things. I'm currently cruising on 200mg of test-e per week pinning once per week on monday.
