New at HRT. Need your help.

[SolidJoe]

Hello All,

I just received my forst bottle of CYP. It's 200MG/ML made by Sandoz. The doctor's instructions are to inject 150MG every two weeks. I've already given myself one shot. My question is: Is the amount I'm receiving every two weeks going to be enough to help me build mass as I work out? I've seen some pretty high dose numbers from others and I'm wondering if 150 MG every two weeks will have any effect at all? I'm new to this stuff so please offer up any help you can.

Thanks

Building mass isn't really what Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is about though you should get more motivation to workout and with optimm testosterone flowing, you'll gain muscle and lose fat . However, you should really focus on a proper Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) protocol. Injecting every two weeks is well beyond the half life of t cyp (8 days printed on the paper that comes with your sandoz). So it isn't an effective Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) treatment , you want to inject e5d (7 days absolute max). and test should be accompanied by an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and HCG.

You'll end up worse off than u started with that protocol. Forget mass, get a proper Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) protocol going.

As always I strongly encourage u to contact Chip with Maximus - there is a sticky thread with his info or just read around these forums..

lol nowadays 100mg/wk is the industry standard for a starting dose of testosterone. Once a week or e5 days like deus says is ideal. Idk I mean testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is not steroids. I wouldn't expect to get jacked or anything on 100mg every week, though it can be done, just like someone can get jacked without injecting test.

Correct dosing requires a blood test to see where you fall if you think for some reason your body is abnormally metabolizing it.

If you want to add lean body mass, get your protocol straight and contact 3J for a proper nutrition plan.

If your hormone levels are optimized and you have a proper nutrition plan and you have a solid training plan, you will see gains.

Everyone responds differently to hormone therapy. Can we assume your test levels will increase? They should, however without further testing it would be hard to see what exactly your body is doing with that extra test you inject every 2 weeks. Are you taking an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) of any kind?

150mg injected every 14 days isn't going to get you the results you are expecting. Without knowing you or your body, I would suggest 150mg a week at a minimum. Ideal would be every 5 days. Injecting every 2 weeks is going to create a 'hormone roller coaster' effect in your body which is something you should try to avoid. Once again, my advice is purely on theoretical basis as I am not a doctor that is treating you.

I am currently on Chip's protocol. It consists of:

200mg Test Cyp every 5 days
250 iu HCG day after test shot
1mg Anastrazole day after test shot
25 mg Danazol every day

I have been on this 3 weeks only and my libido is off the charts, my shoulders seem to be getting wider every day, waist has gone from 33 inches to 31 creating the illusion of a more visible V taper and my body is just hard all over. I weigh 187 lbs and 12% BF at 5"11. I workout 6 days a week with 30 minutes of cardio performed after each training session. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. If this is how I look and feel after 3 weeks I am looking forward to 3 months, hell 3 years from now. I am looking forward to reaching my goal of 190 lbs at 8% BF. Pay attention to diet as this is often overlooked by a lot of people. No fad diets, 5-6 meals a day getting in all your macro's.

Good luck to you.

Just hit your macros, meal frequency and timing is irrelevant
