First Tren Cycle. Dosage question.

[halfwit]

About to order some Tren E for my first tren cycle. Thanks for your thoughts here. This sounds very logical. I cruise with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) at about 1100 with a topical T agent. I can actually push it up to 1300 if I need to by adding two more pumps. Does that sound about right, if my goal is to slowly work up to 300mg a week of Tren E?

Also, if I'm starting at 1100 ng/dL from my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and add 300mg / week of Tren E, once the long esters kick in, how much higher should the T climb?

Does Tren raise T similarly to straight Testosterone?

First off, please do yourself a favor and stick with acetate for your first go. You don't want to be stuck with bad sides if you can't handle them for several weeks instead of days. Your testosterone is not effected by trenbolone at all as you're supplementing with exogenous testosterone. Two totally different compounds with totally different methods of action. Be VERY aggressive with monitoring and adjusting your Aromatase inhibitor (AI) dose to make sure you don't run into E2 problems with a 19-nor. Even though E2 management will help with most sides, I still strongly recommend a dopamine agonist like caber or pramipexole as prolactin/progesterone can elevate independently of estradiol.

If I took 200mg of Tren only, and then got labs, should my T levels be similar if I had taken only 500mg of Test?

No, you'd see your testosterone levels plummet as it suppresses your natural production and does not replace the hormone. This is why you need to have a testosterone base on top of the trenbolone. Anabolically speaking however, 200mg of tren is rougly equal to 1g of testosterone. Keep in mind that the anabolic/androgenic ratios are a rule of thumb and are in no way indicative of actual results.

Be safe.
