Consider upping my test prop dose

[coasta007]

Hi all. I've been injecting test prop 100 twice a week at 1ml each time as part of my self prescribed trt. I read somewhere on this forum that one of you regular poster wrote that the disadvantage of such a low dose was that I'm shutting down my own testosterone production and only injecting a small dose.

If I increase my dosage to 3 x 1ml a week of prop 100, will I need to inject estrogen blockers? Would I expect to notice a difference?

that is still 200mg a week

you need to run blood work and see where your levels are at.. if it is good gear 200mg a week is plenty.. but what if it was underdosed?

The whole point of TRT is it replaces your now not working production of testosterone and NOW you wonder if it'll shut you down?? Again - kinda the point!!

You seem to be injecting 200 mgs per week already - that dosage is plentiful for TRT, where the average is 150 mgs per week. Ideally, you should get your blood work done, to see where this dosage takes your testosterone levels to, and adjust the dosage accordingly in order to keep your T levels within normal limits.

Most guys use 100-200mg/week for TRT. 200mg is a pretty generous dosage for TRT. Your testosterone levels are probably above the normal range at that dosage.

Yes - you need an AI. You won't need a large dosage but a low dosage AI when on TRT is a smart idea to keep your estrogen levels in check. 5mg EOD of aromasin is a good dosage.

200mg per week is a TRT dose so if your goal is just replacing natural testosterone production then that is a good dose. If your goal is to run a cycle for mass then you want to be closer to the 500mg per week mark.

 

[coasta007]

Good stuff guys. Thanks for the clarification

I'm after upping my testosterone levels to that of natural or just above natural so 2 injections a week at 200mg total is probably ok. I'll go and have some blood tests done soon and make dosage adjustments from there.

When I switch over to EQ/Baldenone would my dosage stay the same or is the strength per ml different?

Makes sense to me

That depends on the brand - each brand will have a different content of the active substance per ml, so it is hard to tell right of the bat. However, EQ might not be as good for TRT. Although I got to admit that you are not losing much by giving it a try.

 

[stevesmi]

EQ will not sure up in blood work in that way

 

[muskate]

I find that the sweet spot for EQ is 300-600mg/week. You could run EQ by itself but you would get the most out of it by stacking it with a testosterone base. Instead of replacing your test prop with EQ, I would add the EQ into your test prop.

 

[MasonicBodybuilder]

It would be trial and error.

[coasta007]

Ok. So I've ordered EQ so I should receive it soon. I was thinking of this dosing.

1ml test prop 100 Monday

1ml EQ Wednesday (I think the EQ is 200mg/ml)

1ml test prop 100 Friday

I suppose it is a good idea to have some blood tests done prior to running EQ? What should I have tests for in particular?

Seeing as though the test prop 100 has relatively short half life, what day would be best to have a blood test? I currently inject every Monday and Thursday.

Thanks in advance

Muskate made a suggestion here.

 

[coasta007]

Yep. Thanks for that. I was asking more about the Monday Wednesday Friday timing of the Test Prop and EQ

Eod is a must to keep steady level of prop
EQ is good for cruise or bridge but after a while you might develop anxiety
Best

Thanks for your reply. Ok. So I'll inject 1ml of test prop 100 on mondays and Friday's and 1ml of EQ on Wednesday's for 12 weeks and see how that combo goes

test prop you want to inject EOD or MWF so inject 1ml of test prop MWF.

Add 1ml of eq on one of those days OR add 0.33ml of EQ into each injection.

 

[MasonicBodybuilder]

I agree that with prop you want EOD injections. With EQ, once per week is fine. Just base your schedule around that concept and you will be all good.

 

[coasta007]

Perfect. Thanks guys

Self prescribed trt is a bad idea. Using prop id even worse. I dont go more tha EOD injections with propianate. Whether on cycle or trt you will achieve best results by maintaining stable plasma levels. Learn half lives. Makes a huge difference. Switch ti cypionate. Makes life a little easier

Sure, give it a try, and act from there.
