Very Short-term HRT?

[ToyBob]

I was on HRT until several months ago when some prostate issues popped up. I have a powerlifting meet coming up this weekend. Would there be any benefit, or detriment, to going back on AndroGel and HCG for the next three-four days? This is an APF meet, so there is no testing involved. It's not as if I'd be cheating. Would short-term use of HRT help my lifts? Also, on the other side, is this something I should not do because it would exacerbate whatever prostate problems I have? I've been getting PSA readings in the 4s and 5s. A biopsy a few months ago showed high-grade PIN but no cancer. I'm due to get another biopsy in a month.

The extra T might help in your recovery but I doubt that there would be any gain in your performance.

However, how in depth did the doc look when you started having prostate probs? I only ask because it has been shown that T and DHT don't have as negative an effect on the prostate as was once believed and that it is actually E2 which is the culprit.

Did he ever check all of your labs or just drop TRT simply because of a problem? What I'm getting at is if he didn't do all of the lab work you may still be able to be on TRT if the E2 is controlled.

Just my brain shooting out ideas.

Hope your meet goes good!
