What do I need to know about a cycle on TRT.

First, I am not planning on a cycle anytime soon. I don't even have my TRT in check yet. I'm just looking for future reference. I haven't found a good thread on this subject. If you can direct me to one by all means, otherwise here it is. I'm just looking to find what I need to know about a cycle while on TRT. I know that I obviously need to do some research before doing a cycle. That's what this is about. Just haven't found anything on TRT and a cycle together.
 
Same principles apply as if you weren't on TRT, except no PCT required - just drop back down to your regular TRT dose.

Awesome. Thanks. Do I need to taper off the Testosterone, or just complete the full cycle and go back to normal? I assume their will still some spike in estrogen, even with the testosterone not dropping completely off. If I am not using an aromatase inhibitor for TRT before the cycle, should I be prepared to use one afterwards for a period of time?

Just drop back off to TRT dose. You'll definitely need an AI on cycle, as for tapering off to not using one again (if that's what your TRT protocol has you dialled in with) that will be purely individual and you'll have to go off how you're feeling and blood work to know for sure.
 
What is your trt protocol? Dosage? Pinning frequency? Hcg? Depending on all of this you may end up needing an ai just for your trt. Once you get your trt dialed in and you decide to blast, either add an ai or up the dose you're already taking. Bloodwork halfway through the cycle will let you know if your doses are good. Then I'd say go back to the original ai dose about 2-3 weeks after you stop blasting.

Example (assuming no ai for trt)

Weeks 1-12 test e or c 500mg/wk. arimidex .25mg eod (starting dose, may need more depending in bloodwork)
Weeks 13-15 back to trt dose. (Continue dosing your ai through these weeks until the high levels of test clear your system)
Weeks 16-on. Trt dose (no ai)

Again this is assuming you were not taking an ai to begin with. If you were you would go back to the original dose you were taking at this point.

Hope this helps. Gotta get off the toilet now.

Just started TRT. I have only had one injection. I'm working on getting that straightened out first. Good info. Thanks.

I believe this question is within forum rules. I'm not asking where to find gear. I'm just asking what kind of gear should I be looking for, for my first cycle. Something not to hard to find, but effective.
