question: I'm on TRT but want to gain, please read:

I figured this would be better posted on this board instead of the testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) based on my question...sorry mods if I'm wrong.

So I'm on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) Test Cyp (200mg/cc, 10cc vials, to the tune of $10....eat your heart out! haha). Anyway, so my T levels were at 214, got the shots and my doc was cool w/ me doing 2 cc's per week. well, I've saved up some vials and I'm lookin to cycle, BUT, what's the point if I'm naturally low? I can't get my hands on anything other than what I've got (for now), so what do ya'll suggest?

I'm about to start doing 500mg/week, but I was previously doing 400mg/week, so you think this is just not beneficial for me?? I've got just about and endless supply of Test Cyp, so if anyone has any suggestions on how I should cycle it, please let me know. Also, post cycle therapy (pct) isn't a problem considering I'm always going to be on it.

(past cycles included test 400,deca,sustanon,and some other injectables, but this was all like 7 years ago)

Thanks guys!

This is an interesting question ... I'm naturally low test and am always interested in what others like me do.

Personally I'd do nothing first ... just run your testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for an extended period of time while making note of training, diet and sleep to see what kind of results you get. It's possible that may be all you need.

You shouldve been able to gain at 400mg a week... Thats damn near a cycle... What is your Test level at 400mg a week?

What are your stats bro?

i agree . if he cant grow on 400mg ew then there is something else wrong unless hes allready a physical monster which is unlikey with naturally low test levels.

hey thanks for the replies guys.

well, after 400mg/week, i had my levels rechecked after taking two weeks off and they were right around 650. so 14 days after my last 400mg shot, i was still floating in the mid 600's, if that can tell you anything. i dont know if it's too presumptive to assume i'm gonna stay at that range with just having a shot every two weeks though, b/c i was shooting every week until i stopped for those two (does that make sense?)

anyway, im 5'10, 200lbs, about 20% bf. i know this is gonna sound stupid, BUT, hear me out.

i was 320 at 48% bf, i had gastric bypass surgery and w/ diet/exercise, ive lost 120lbs. so, after the fact, i thought my energy levels would increase, well, they didnt, so i got tested and low and behold, low test levels.

so one of the posts above made sense, ill just stick w/ the testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) plan and go/grow from there, b/c i dont know if its the test or me just getting in shape that's making my gains. all i know is, i LOVE gear and everything about it and im just happy to be getting it for 10 bucks a vial!

sorry for the rambling post, im like freakin valentino (without the synthol.....idiot)

Why did the doc test your levels after two weeks when you usually pin every week?
He shouldve tested you on day 6 of your last inject...

I bet your levels are much higher. Probably 1500+

oh whoops, sorry, shoulda clarified....i told the doc that i had injected a week before (to preserve the scripts) when in reality, i had injected two weeks prior (that way, if it came up insanely high, he'd think it was b/c it was 6 days prior, not 14....and of course, it came up mid 6's, so he told me to inject every other week.....

so that was why, he thought it was 6 days later, but in reality, it was 14!

thanks again everyone!

Sounds like you need to tune up your diet and training. IMO key points for you.

I see... yeah you should be gaining at 400mg a week....

Nice avi ythrashin nice.. lmfao

i appreciate the help guys, thank you. im gonna stick w/ 500mg each week and go from there. its basically what im supposed to be on anyway, so ill stick w/ it and see how it goes. ive noticed a lot of good gains while being on it, but again, i dont know if its muscle memory/natural gains or the help of the gear itself. i guess time will tell, but ultimately, gains are gains, so ill stick with it and go from there.

thanks again!
