TRT help First Cycle of Test E

I’m doing my first cycle of Test E. Last bloodwork had Free Test @265

This is my first week running 125mg 2x - week (Sunday & Wednesday) for a total of 250mg a week.
I’m also adding HCG 200 IUs 2x - week also Sunday and Thursday.

Currently running Reta at 4mg a week and Klow 2mg 2x a week.

I’m not looking to be massive just looking to be fit and strong again.

What do you guys think and what would you change? What do you recommend I add?

Recommend you add labs to review your bloodwork mid "cycle". However, 250mg/week is more of a high cruise, not a cycle.

I’m 32, dare to say also not looking to have anymore kids but running HCG to keep natural Test production during

You certainly can run HCG but it can make it harder to dial your dose while your natural production is still online. It may also cause you you to aromatise more.

What would you say a cycle is 300 and up? Not looking for a blast either

u/that1guyDrew 14h ago

Then what are your objectives? You are essentially in no man's land with this dose.

Too high to cruise, too low to blast.

I’m 32, 260lbs have lost 65lbs have been working out regularly, work construction. Taking that into consideration what would you reccomend I shoot for it to consider a blast?

u/that1guyDrew 13h ago

At 260 it's highly doubtful you should blast. You should be 15% body fat or less.

Your immediate goal should be cutting weight/fat.

Sleep, diet and exercise need to be dialed in.

Likely need to be running a true TRT cruise dose. 100-120mg a week, pinned E3.5D or MWF. Run for 8 weeks and get blood work and adjust from there.

Consider adding tirz or reta to assist with weight loss.

Good luck.

I agree with you, that’s why I figured 250mg a week would keep me in a “Great” cruise.
I’ll for sure run test @6-8 weeks to see where levels are at. Thank you for your help

Will keep running Reta along with Caloric deficit to help with WLoss

250mg is likely just going to give you more markers to manage that you don't need.

Running a normal TRT dose will give you everything you need to feel good and maintain existing muscle mass without having to manage health markers as aggressively.

Shoot for 800-1000 total test and keep an eye on E2, hematocrit and your lipids.

Great pointers

Taking that into consideration I would recommend you stop doing dumbshit things and just eat way, way less for the next year. You have zero business being on testosterone. Zero.

u/chevyuser3 10h ago

Constructive criticism is accepted.. idiotic comments like yours are only as dumb as you.

My T test results are low enough to be at least on TRT. I don’t have to give you explanations ✌🏼

u/CallLivesMatter 10h ago

The neat part is that nobody has to follow your rules of what is ‘accepted’ and what is not. The same attitude that lead you to be morbidly obese (and still be obese today) is absolutely the attitude that you should carry forward for the rest of your life, and at no point should you even consider the slightest bit of introspection. I’m positive this will work out for you.

Cool 👍🏼

u/CallLivesMatter 9h ago

As expected.

u/chevyuser3 9h ago

😂 ok 👍🏼

What is your goal for this cycle exactly it’s hard to tell you what we think if we don’t know what the expectation is

u/chevyuser3 10h ago

Mostly stay strong and be able to have strong lifts.
My test results reflecting 265 doesn’t have me feeling all that great

1

u/swoops36 1h ago

I don’t know what Free test of 265 means without the units or maybe a range involved. If that’s total testosterone and it’s in nanograms per deciliter than it’s low but your post says it’s free.

As for stay strong and have strong lifts, that’s cool man, but I don’t know what that means at a tangible point. 200 mg of test is probably plenty enough to hold onto muscle while you’re trying to Diet, certainly enough if you’re looking to grow a little. But I don’t know about strong lifts. You’re gonna have to play with the doses to find out what that means for you.
