Long term side effects of a higher/cycle dose?

[MrWest]

Does anyone have experience with or know of any repercussions of cruising on a higher dose of testosterone like most pro's? Say for example, 1 gram of Test E a week.
Once you're shut down, you're shut down right?
So if you bumped your testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to a much higher dose, but kept things like estrogen under control, would/could there be any long term side effects?:

Hey I'm all for cruising at a slightly higher than normal testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose, but if you think 1 gram a week is ok to cruise on I think you might need to do some more reading, lol.

I can't think of the medical term off the top of my head but in the car-world, we call it "slushing." That's when there is too much oil in the oil pan and it isn't being distributed throughout the engine. Same thing happens with your blood. Too much red blood cells accumulates and leads to "slushing." Another thing that I would be concerned about is have your internal organs extend from your belly. I'm not sure to be honest, when that comes into play with high long-term doses.

The gut they develop is definitely from very high dose insulin and high dose GH combined along with god knows whatever peptides those freaks are using.

I don't think a gram of test a week is "okay". I think there would be some kind of trauma or damage to the body from long term use of such a high dose, hence why I'm asking.

I don't think "slushing" would be an issue, the injections would be spread out throughout the week in pieces and in different injection sites.

What you are referring to is a "gh gut" which is a result from peptide/hgh/slin abuse + massive amounts of food cause the stomach to stretch with the addition of internal organ growth.

MrWest, you are off on the red blood cell slushing concept. Testosterone increases your RBC count so your blood slushes. It gets thick and harder to push. It doesn't matter where you inject it, it is going to have the same effect on you over time. RBCs are produced in the bone marrow, not locally. lol That problem is easily solved by donating blood on a regular basis. That is more of a problem with higher doses but nonetheless everyone is different so monitoring or regularly donating is good. I don't personally know anyone taking testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) doses that high. That is a steroid cycle question for the steroid forum. I don't see the point in taking that much testosterone for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) purposes unless you are trying to be Mr. Olympia and you are in the wrong forum for that. As far as shut down, that is debatable. A lot of factors play into that. All I know is my testosterone was 200-300 something and I was shut down before I got on testosterone. I know someone that has been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for over 20 years and he is healthier than most people half his age.

A gram a week is a good cycle dose for an experienced person, but even then it wouldn't be for more than 12 weeks or so. And blast and cruising really aren't a part of TRT. Your doctors sets your dose and you need to follow it. Unless of course you are self medicating. In which case, the best of luck. I personally wouldn't even consider it.
