First blast, any suggestions?

[wldb33rz]

I've been on TRT now for about 9 weeks now, getting my 10 week labs on Friday. Based on what I expect to see on those labs, I expect to be able to do a first test minicycle/miniblast.

I have been on 21mg/daily (147mg/week) which I dropped to about 3 weeks ago with my 6 week labs showed a 1490 total test. Once I have these labs for the TRT clinic checkup, I plan on jumping on to 250mg/week for about 8-10 weeks to see what my response is and how I handle things. I also plan on throwing some anavar to close out that mini blast, expecting 20-30mg/day depending on response.

I have been actively working out and increasing my cardio daily to 3 25 minute sets. Fasted on wake, at lunch, and while not the most consistent, I try after work but pre-workout on training days. On the workout days I will push the fasted workout to about 35mins instead of 25 mins just to be sure I hit my goal for the day, and my lunch will also be bumped to 30 mins....hence the inconsistency.

Still working on a Upper/Lower split M,Tu, Th, F. As my intensity/weights have gone up on legs, sometimes that 2nd leg day is on Saturday, depends entirely on recovery.

Ive been working to optimize my labs, so HDL i'm expecting to see around 44-47 range, LDL is hovering around 80, and total cholesterol has been around 135. Kidney function is back to 123 eGFR, and liver enzymes are very consistently at the lower quarter of the range. So, depending on what I see on Friday's labs, I'm expecting to be "clear" to jump onto this mini blast.

Any advice or throughts on this plan?

blast where? where blast? when blasting? huh?
this is barely a high dosed trt protocol. I would just continously up the test by 50mg every 4 weeks starting at 150mg/wk and monitor blood markers. no funny bsuiness, no orals. just up the test and see where it leads you

I did mention that it's a miniblast, to gauge tolerance. It's also shorter than a full blast as well.

I started my dosing out at 175mg/week and wound up at 1490 total test, so I lowered that to 147mg/week and expect the labs to show somewhere between 1250-1300 on friday. So, by jumping to 250mg/week that's an extra 100mg a week over current dose. I'm not in a hurry to jump to more than needed, so even a full blast for me is likely to top out around 300-350mg/week.

I’m curious about his too albeit a ways away in my case. Some guys ramp up the test levels and then return to base doses. Some guys utilize increased test and secondary compounds, or orals, then drop back down.

Aside from the health issues associated with orals in general is there a reason to not incorporate them with moderate test doses?

If you're trying to gauge tolerance, then stick with just test. How do you know what you tolerate when it's two separate compounds. Or at least do your max test dose solo for a bit then add the var.

imo I'd stick with one compound.

Personally I'd up my test to 500mg weekly before considering adding another compound. If you need an AI use aromasin not adex (Arimidex). Adex will kill your lipids fast.

If you handle 500mg fine then maybe some anavar.

Uh, how bout you give your current regimen some time? What's the rush?

Blood work? How about give it 6 months and see where your safety panel sits?
