Testosterone Frequency ?

[VintageStrat]

I have read 1000's of threads about this subject. I am trying to stay completely true
to Doctor's orders....but
Should I do Test C, once a week or should I break it up to every 3.5 days?
And, if I do end up doing it twice a week.. then how the hell am I going to do my HCG on the 2 days before I do my weekly test shot as prescribed ??

I know some of you Guys have been doing this stuff for years, I'm only a beginner in my 3rd month of seriously keeping to a regimen.
Had all the blood work and this regimen seems to be doing fine for me on paper, but I am experiencing some highs and lows, not as much as at first, but nonetheless still there.

50's
210
6'2"

200 mg Test C week
HCG 250 mg twice a week
Adex MWF
HGH 5 on 2 off

So, whats the best way for me to go

Thanks in advance

Well, that schedule of injecting once a week, is just a common agreement only because is "good enough", having the half life of Cyp being 14-16 days. However, more frequent injection WILL produce more stable levels. There's no question about it. You can even take it to a mathematical graph, and you'll see as a results that the line produced by frequent injections, is more straight and even that the line produced by once a week injections. So if you are able to do it, try it. Monday morning and Thursday night.

About the hcg 2 days before injection, I honestly don't know the science behind that 2 day before schedule. I assume HCG will do its job yes or yes. However, remember every 3.5 days, your test levels will be more even; there will be no big spike as before. So the hcg schedule shouldn't be affected.

I'm going to try it....thanks

250mgs Test C week is very very high for TRT - was this prescribed or are you self medicating?

 

[theemperor]

HRT doses should be at 100-125 mgs/ml a week. Those are true to HRT.

He never mentioned that dose.

 

[VintageStrat]

Yes its true, that dosage was never mentioned, probably got it mixed up with the HCG.

For the record though, I wouldn't do anything like this without the supervision of my Physician who is specifically trained in Anti-Aging, and that includes prescription medications as prescribed
by aforementioned Personal Physician, thanks for the concern though

just because the "normal" trt dose is 125-150 mgs per week doesnt mean that its the right dose for everyone. Your blood results will tell you what your dose should be at everyone is different

Yes, thats true but a large portion of people don't need 200 mgs and more to get good HRT doses. I was on 200 mg/ml a week and in a couple of months I was at over 1300 ng/dl on Test blood levels. Just my share....

Without complete blood work results no one can intelligently help you.

So, if I'm reading this correctly.....You are saying that blood work results every 10 weeks will
intelligently help me with how I FEEL with either Test injections every 7 days or every 3.5 days?
Please elaborate, I'm not picking up how having a "snapshot in time"...ie, blood draw on an odd day of the week each time could be a true compass as to how I "felt" on any given day during a long term AA- HRT Plan.
I purposely waited years to begin this, and truthfully its all about Me and how I feel at this stage of the game. If results can be a basic Rule of Thumb as to where I am generally, thats cool, but I'm interested in the maximum amount of days I can feel great. Hence the question.

how you feel + what your blood levels is how the dose should titrate. Different people get different results in both spectrums. Some people end up with less test when going on androgel then before and some get pushed to 1000ng/dl. Several different factors. On the other spectrum some guys feel great and make gains when their test levels are only 450 or so. Some people need less test to feel great and make gains, others need more. Some people can inject 50mg 2x's a week and stay at 900ng/dl and others inject 200mg a week and don't get much more than that. We all respond different. Which is why people can't ask how much they will gain on a certain cycle or how much they will keep. It all just simply depends on you. For instance I can gain alot more on 25mg dbol a day than my friend does at 60mg a day. Same thing goes for sides too, although in general the higher the dosage the higher the chance of them. And although I can gain on much less than my friend I suffer the acne sides at significantly lower dosage than him and he gets none no matter how much he takes or what he takes.

Now THERES something I haven't heard spoken of much.....Pimples....I have got the worst since I was a Kid in High Sschool! But on the flip side, my libido is through the roof and I'm lovin' it for sure
Thanks everyone for chipping in, this is a great place

Hang on ... deep breath ....
IMO and Experience you are running a cycle. So, there is the reason for the ups and downs, zits, power surges and hardons.
Decide if this is what you want or true HRT. I like cycles but know that pure HRT is best for health.

100 mg of test p/w ... one injection a week.
0.25 mg adex twice a week
1 iu of HGH eod
9 hours sleep
Low sugar (starch) diet
two full body w/o's a week

Let blood pressure, test/esto, psa and cholest be your guide. Get within range and stay there.

Do a real cycle 2-3 times a year as a reward. Try simple ones like 250 test c twice a week with 0.5 adex and i iu of hgh M-Fri. 10 weeks. Note the differences, esp sides.

I honestly thought what I was doing WAS long term HRT, as prescribed by a Nationally known AA Doctor based on my individual history, age,stats and bloodwork.

That said, I do appreciate your advice and enjoy reading your comments and will take this advice to heart.

Yeah that is a good HRT protocol. Although as mentioned before, blood tests will tell you how the protocol is working for you, an based on that you can tweak it to perfection. it takes some time, but with patience and knowledge you get there.
