Question on testosterone dosage

[tkeaton1334]

I have been lifting consistently since I was 17, I'm 28 now. I consistently eat well and live a healthy lifestyle.

11 years in and I'm going to start a cycle of Testosterone Enanthate. I've been gathering information for the past few weeks and have been talking to friends who have cycled test. Right now I'm considering 250 mg. of test enanthate every 3 days with .25 mg of Arimidex every other day. Then PCT.

I will not be competing in any type of bodybuilding competitions, I'm not choosing to use test to excel in a sport or strength competition. I'm just a gym goer who loves to lift.

So what I'm basically saying is I would still like to look and feel great and keep the side effects to a minimum. Summer is coming up and I would prefer not being bloated, having to worry about gyno, etc. (I'm a single dude, cut me some slack). The few guys I know that have experience with test think 500 mg. of test will give me the side effects I'm trying to avoid. Some of these guys say to keep it to 250 mg. and that that dose is plenty. But I've seen some guys online say 250 mg. is basically just enough to suppress testosterone production and give me very minimal benefits.

I'm not sure if it matters or not but I have healthy levels of testosterone already. I had them recently checked and my total testosterone was 760 ng/dl.
If I could get any advice, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

500mgs is good. Nobody can say what will give you side effects at what dosage. Everyone Is different. I've done more than that as I'm sure many others have without any sides.
But the main thing is to be prepared with proper products if and when these sides come up. To make sure you have a proper AI if they do etc

That's key.

I think 250mgs is low and 500mgs is good.

Run test at 500mg. Also if you want to cut up a bit for summer I would throw in anavar or winstrol on the back end but that's up to you

thats about .75mg of adex a week. I take about double that and I am on 100mg test a week for TRT. I would seriously consider using a couple mg a week. Then a few weeks in get labs and adjust it as needed.

EVeryone says test is best for a first cycle but I disagree. I'd recommend something milder like Primo or var with just enough test to maintain libido. 40 mgs of var and 250 of test for 4 weeks for a first timer is plenty.

Test at 500mg sounds good should get great gains

Everyone responds to things differently, but 500mg of test per week works well for most on a first cycle with minimal sides as long as you control estrogen
