My long term Super TRT plan

Now that I think about it, I'm not totally on board with your approach. You're pushing for taking anti-androgenic meds preventively no matter what. I think that first we need to admit that not everyone needs to take finasteride. It should be checked out with a dermatologist first. I believe that the fewer drugs and the less we mess with nature, the better. Honestly, even if I needed it, I'd rather be bald than deal with the side effects of finasteride and post finasteride syndrome.

I am saying this as a natty, if i were on testosterone i wouldn't mind because i would have a shit ton of androgens in my blood anyway.

What's your alternate approach to preventing hair loss? A condition the vast majority of men suffer from, natty or not.

First the basics (sleep, diet, exercise, stress...) then take care of your skin and scalp, use coconut oil weekly, have it cut short and clean...

If it has to happen to you, then so be it. Be a good man, have good body and good financials.

You speak from a position of deep ignorance. Sleep, diet (aside from malnutrition) exercise and stress are not significant causes of permanent hair loss.

While the sentiment of "compensate in other ways that offset your balding" sounds really nice in theory, it has little bearing in real life. Anyone advocating against the only two effective, FDA approved treatments for Androgenic Alopecia on baseless or exaggerated fears is setting men up for needless suffering later in life, both in terms of self esteem, and in the very real way society perceives and treats men with hair loss.

My father got bald in his late 20s, he was already with my mother and she didn't care at all, so neither he did. Never took a drug, never thought much about it, he is happy and has a good life.
 
I don't want to pct or go natural unless I absolutely have to, I love Testosterone and I see no point in coming off for now. I like the gains and advantage in life it provides me. Besides muscle gains and body composition of course. The boost in noticeable both physically and mentally.

You don't have to come off, test alone is relatively benign at the levels you're testing at when compared to other environmental factors. You'll actually be doing less stress to your system staying at the same levels constantly, which you're accomplishing with deca/undeca ester in castor.

Stats:
...
-6 years of blast and cruise (came off thrice now, natural life ain't for me anymore).

What non-test gear/auxiliaries have you taken? Aromatase inhibitors, etc.

limit energy drinks to 1x can 250ml red bull per day.

This'll be a glycemic spike on a daily basis (check the sugar) that you can afford to cut out, try to find a lower glycemic alternative.
 
I'm trying to figure out how and why lisinopril is much more effective for me than telmisartan. Everywhere I read they are supposed to provide similar results, yet for me lisinopril knocks down 20-25 systolic points while telmisartan only about 10-15. I understand they're different class. Just wondering.

Example:
Lisinopril 120's/60-70 (rarely gets in to 130's zone)
Telmisartan 135-140/70's

It could be that your angiotensin II receptors aren't as active as others such as your beta-adrenergic receptors. Meanwhile lisinopril is relaxing your vessels across the board, regardless of receptor activity.

I would ask your doctor about adding a beta-blocker. They are also relatively benign and act to reduce the total amount of heartbeats that occur across the day. I'm your age and on the same one as my doctor, 50mg of metoprolol. That dose got me within range.

Finasteride will be what's responsible for 90% of hair protection. .25mg is NOTHING. It's absolutely minuscule and can not possibly crash your DHT levels.

If you have male pattern balding in your genes, you will want to start this before it gets visible.

Some changes to my protocol:
-Test U 150mg/week (used to be sesame oil based, now I got it in castor)
-Cialis 5mg daily

These dosing schedules and doses are fine for long term

Two things I'm slacking on is losing weight and cardio. Weight seems to be locked at 225-230lbs no matter what I do, I lose fat all right and get leaner visually, I just can't go lower in weight which sounds good, but I kinda feel too heavy.

As hard as it is, but I'm gonna cut gym to just once per week now. Lose some size, even 5 pounds would help and replace gym time with more activities outside.

Any time you go into a caloric deficit you have to increase your protein intake from baseline. I wouldn't do any more extended fasting as its highly catabolic.

Protein heavy breakfasts and dinners will help prevent excess muscle degradation.
