So here is my story,
I've been on and off of TRT for 2 years now. I was on a 100mg dose for over a year and had to switch doctors because I was no longer a student and I couldn't use my student insurance anymore. Doctor number 2 took me off, and the entire network of doctors he worked with backed him, including the only endocrinologist that was local. My levels dropped from the high 800's to the 200's and I was pretty miserable for about 6 months. I moved to a new city and was able to get a new doctor, number 3, to approve me for the 100 mg dose again, with 1mg of anastrazol per week. The thing is, number 3 wrote me a script to do the injections at home, and after not really being able to get the nerve up to take the shots myself, I got another doctor, number 4, to let me have weekly nurse appointments. So I am getting my shots there in the 4ht doctor's office weekly now... however, once a month I go to my pharmacy and for the past 3 months they have had 2 200ml bottles of testosterone waiting for me to pick up, presumably from doctor number 3. I am on medicaid because I have a congenital disability, so I don't have to pay for my script. I am wondering how long this will continue to be available like this...? Should I maybe just keep collecting it until they say a new scrip needs to be written? Should I maybe wait and see... then do a blast and cruise? for example.. keep getting my weekly injection and take an extra 200-300mg a week for 10 weeks? I'm not worried about shutting my shit down, its already shut down and I have 6 kids already. So, then I could just resume my regular dose after I've used up the extra bottles and keep most of the gains, right?
side note: So... training...
I train on a modified SL 5x5, but I peaked my lifts at 500 DL, 400 Squat, 300 Bench/Row & 200 OHP and now I am just adding reps to my sets. I kinda started my weights so that they would end up at those poundages, as it seemed to be a balanced ratio for strength. So now I am going up to 5x6-8 using the same weights. I feel like adding more weight was causing stress on my joints, and I am a small guy only 5'4 and being 40 years old ... I don't have aspirations of going pro powerlifting or bodybuilding. I do accessory work when I am not too beat. I do 1 day on, 2 days off because I don't get DOMS until that 2nd day. I hit all 5 exercises each workout. I do the 5x5 Reg Park style, with 2 warmup sets at 60% and 80% then 3 work sets. so for example I bench warmup with 180x5, 240x5, then working sets 3(300x5) and I try to add as many reps as I can to the last set. If I hit 8 reps or more, then I add reps to the 2nd set the following workout...
I get 3 workouts in a week, 2 the following week and just repeat that.... so it rotates

feedback on the TRT, blasting with the extra T, and the training... would be appreciated.
