Testosterone Cypionate - Dose and Other

[FRITZTHEBADASSCAT]

Lifter for 25+ years and first time ever using gear. Not sure what took so long...

I am 4th week into testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and at 300mg of 200mg/mL Cyp each Friday. A few items:

1. I am 205 working my way to 190 over next 2-3 months: any comments on the dosage would be helpful. I think I notice a small difference in mood and pumps are a little stronger but nothing being knocked out of the park at this time (meaning physical appearance and strength). I spoke to a few people and advise is at 300mg/wk, it will take a while to start to see results.

2. I use my thigh and a 1". No trouble as my thighs are meaty. Recently did 200mg and realized I should have done 300mg so I did the other 100mg as soon as I noticed. I selected a site 2 inches from prior site. No aches noted. Any comments on this item would be helpful.

3. I feel as though I am a little bit red in the face and chest (a little flush) - anyone have a similar reaction?

Thanks!!

1.5cc of what... C, E, 100mg, 250mg, 300mg, etc, etc?

You need to provide quite a bit more info if you expect intelligent answers.

what your test dosed at? 250mg/ml??

if so that means your getting 375/wk. personally I would split the doses up into 2 a week for more even blood level. so .75ml Monday and .75ml Friday. but that's just be

seeing your on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) you could continue at 1.5ml a week (weather it be one in one or 2 shots) and see how that works for you. if you wanted to cycle you would need to up that dose to 500mg per week (that's 2ml if ur cyp is dosed at 250mg.ml) and run that for 10-12 weeks then go back down to your testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose. keep in mind that if you do up your dose you will need an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) like adex or aromasin.

but ultimately diet will decide weather or not you can reach your weight and appearance goals so that will need to be in check, if you want to cut decrease your calories by 300-500 for the week and as you lose weight continue to decrease .

as for the 1" pin, if you don't have much fat on your quads that's fine, I use 1" for my delt and 1.5 for glute so If I were to shoot in my quad id probably go for a 1" pin

the red could be high bloodpressure, imo its doubtful only being 4 weeks in, cyp takes 5-6 weeks to really kick in, possibly longer at a lower dose. I to got a red chest/face and increased my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) dose any everything was fine and haven't had any problems since

im not on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) so Im not sure about this but you may want to consider an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), I don't know if it is needed with a small dose (although from what ive read 200mg is average for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) not 375) maybe a more vertern member can chime in on this, halfwit? I know you have experience with this

good luck man

thanks - this was a helpful response

 

[bignewf]

just to make sure what is your test dosed at? per mg/ml?

 

[FRITZTHEBADASSCAT]

correct 200mg/ml

 

[bignewf]

so if its 200mg/ml and ur doing 1.5ml for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) that 300 a week ... if u wanted to up it for a 12 week cycle, with that test it would need to be atleast 2.5ml per week(2 shot of 1.25ml, one Monday one Friday) and that wuld give u 500 ml per week, if u wanted to cycle

 

[FRITZTHEBADASSCAT]

confirms my understanding - thank you again

I wouldn't expect much growth or strength gains at testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dosages

 

[FRITZTHEBADASSCAT]

If 500/wk of cyp is needed for growth and strength gains, would 500 once per week work considering half life of cyp is fairly long? I understand twice a week keeps levels higher, but curious to know if the difference would be more than negligible.

Thanks!

I think it depends on a number of factors, including your natural production. Someone who already works hard in the gym and eats well but was getting no results due to low natural T levels (like me) could see a dramatic change from 200mg/week.

Twice a week bro is the way go...
