What to Expect from a 100mg/week HT Cycle

[Xavier99]

So I just started hormone therapy treatment through my doctor 2 weeks ago. 100mg of Test E every week.

My natural T levels weren't super low, just borderline. I believe the normal range is between 8 and 27 nmol/L, and mine came in at 11.4. Free Testosterone was not bad though around 350.

I'm 37, 6'4" and weigh about 212. Tanita body fat scale says I have 22% bodyfat. I've been working out consistently since I was about 20. Arms and legs have some decent definition, but chest and abs are looking a bit smooth.

My reasons for doing HT therapy is just for overall well being mentally and physically. Not looking to get super huge or anything. Losing about 20 lbs of fat and gaining about 10 lbs of muscle would be nice. So a goal weight of about 202.

I know this wont happen overnight and will still take a lot of hard work. However the goals I've set can be accomplished naturally, and I was curious to know how much "assistance" 100mg of Test E every week will provide to achieving these goals, and how much quicker can they be achieved assuming diet and workout regimen is decent.

How did you go about finding a doctor to prescribe the HRT?

It will probably take 8-12 weeks for your system to normalize as your natty production falls and exo test hits the blood steam. After that your blood levels on 10mg/week will probably be mid lab range so I certainly wouldnt expect any miracles. Its all going to come down to your diet and traning....as it always does regardless of what your taking.

I agree with Zyglamail about your levels. expect your doctor to adjust your dosage as you find your "sweet" spot. It took me about 6 months to get the dosage right to keep me at the top end of the scale. My body was able to keep the estrogen under control, so no additional stuff needed for that. I've been on for 2 years now. I'm 47 and have always been an ectomorph. Gains have been very noticeable for me. the little bit of body fat i had has gotten even smaller and I have gained just over 15lbs. my recovery in the gym is great and it has done wonders for my appetite. people have been asking me constantly what I'm doing. I will tell you that consistency in levels has been a big thing for me and maybe it has something to do with the speed of my metabolism. I have found that splitting my dosage so that I'm injecting twice a week is a good thing. So after you get use to pinning yourself and get the dosage down you may find that useful.
Good luck

Almost every guy we work with closely we monitor with blood work on a very frequent level.
MOST men on a 100mg every 7 days will be in a high normal range of around 600-700ng/dl.
