Never go off?

[CaboDH]

Hey guys, looking for some thoughts here....
47 years old, 6' 235, approx 18% bf
First cycle was 23 years ago, been doing about 1 to 2 cycles a year for the last 8 years.
Recovery has always been good using typical PCT, but last few times it took longer each time to get back to a slightly lower endogenous test level each time (blood work at 6, 12, and 18 weeks post cycle in each case)
Current level is 411 ng/dl
Given my age, I amconsidering just going to a (permanent) maintenance dosing schedule after this next 6 weeker.

Thoughts?

When I wa 20 years old I was placed on HRT and have never came off since then.

my shits at 311 and im 36. If i would not get zits and acne I would take aas all the time. I always have had blood work. The only thing that fucked me up was beastrol at 20mg and 20mg of tbol. Very bad. So yes I would just stay on. But 411nd is actually pretty high for your age. U can raise it naturallly still. Also the lab results will very on a bunch of different things

TRT/HRT should be a last resort only.

411 is fine for your age.

It still depends on your Free testosterone. Maybe with a good UNLEASHED cycle you could get into the high/healthy zone for a 30 year old. It depends on what you want.

There's nothing wrong with HRT if you need it. But recommending it to someone who doesn't need it would be like suggesting someone go on thyroid medication without needing it.

Thanks for all the responses,
I think after this cycle I will intensify the PCT and see what the results are...
I'll do a follow up post in about 12 weeks....

Happy birthday kid. May the next 59 be the best yet.

I've been on HRT for years. At age 34 my levels were unacceptable to me. It;s only 100 mgs test every 7-9 days. Keeps me happy. I'll toss in a cycle once a year or so as well.

hrt at 20? is that going to affect your fertility when it comes to having kids?

 

[ghettostudmuffin]

I honestly wouldn't think twice about going on hrt at 47, but then again I wouldn't think twice about going on full time by 40 either.

It's a serious choice, but it really comes down to what you want and how you feel.

I have no problems with running a 16-20 week cycle atm, but I wouldn't seriously consider staying on full time until my late 30's and that also comes down to wanting to be abit above high normal levels in the first place due to wanting to carry enhanced levels of muscle mass.

 

[stevesmi]

^^^^^ I agree.

gonna wait till atleast 40 or 45 to even think about it. but if I can pull what RADAR did and look like that at 60 without going on then that is what i will do

 

[caribeman]

Its a personal choice. I should have started 9 years ago.

Your total testosterone isn't terribly low. Need to look into others as well such as estradiol, free test, etc...

My total test wasn't much higher than that at 22 years old, having never used AAS before that. Explore all your options before jumping on HRT. Not saying it's bad, but it is a lifelong commitment.
