About to finish first cycle

[augor]

1/4 lb a week, really? that seems low
as for what body fat % i`m at now, not sure, if i were to guess i`d say 15% right now
i`m on trt, and decided to try the cruise method, 250mg test cyp a week ( normal dose is 125mg a week from the doc) but i know that dose only puts me slightly above mid range , mid range for a guy my age that is , dont know bout elsewhere, but here they have ranges set based on age

wait did you mean how much weight you can lose during pct or just while cutting??? also what are your stats? bf% and cycle play a big part in the amount of FAT you can lose without losing muscle

 

[augor]

i`m on trt , so i wont be doing a pct
just finished a 10 week cycle of test cyp 500mg a week
the last 2 weeks doing 250mg a week normal trt dose is 125mg
was thinking if i do a cruise of 250mg, this will make it alittle easier, to cut some and hold onto muscle as well.
currently about 15% body fat

I believe that even if on HRT, you should do a PCT after a cycle.

The reason is that the HRT just puts you at a normal/high healthy level. When coming off, that dosage is actually a little less effective. Getting natty levels up (even if you don't get them back to normal) is still a good thing. Plus, there's also cortisol, estrogen, prolactin and LH issues.

I also think that's not the best time to cut. Stabilize for a few weeks, then you can cut with better results and less catabolism.

Def agree that now is not the time to cut....

so wait about 4 weeks on the 250 a week before doing any cutting?

5 weks of dropping down to 250 a week, must say i think i feel better on this amount.
now im gonna start increasing cardio and lose some fat

hey guys , off topic of my original post but.....
how do you know if your estrogen has gone too low from arimidex?
i know the usual stuff , is supposed to be similar to low test , lower sex drive and such.

i`ve read it affects the joints as well, at the moment, i`m not suffering from lower sex drive or dry oragasms as some say, but i find i`m achy , both hands and wrists are sore, and neck.

i stopped taking arimidex 5 days ago, have no idea how long it takes for estrogen to climb back to normal numbers, that probably is a person specific thing.

any thoughts?

thanx

what was your dosage of test and arimidex?

 

[augor]

when i was on cycle 500 mg test a week, i was taking .5 arimidex every 3 days, and it was working great, now im cruising at 250mg a week,
