TRT and first Test cycle at 48yo

[MisterSandman]

Sorry guys, I 've been reading tens of forums with all kind of stickies on how I should start my first and I am more confused than not.

I am 48 y.o., been lifting for 3 years, 5'10" 170lbs 10%bf
Been on TRT for 1 year now (low T), 100mg/wk Test cyp, 100iu HCG 2 times a week, I have anastrozole but have not been using it as my bloods didn't show too much aromatizing.
I would like to do a Test cyp cycle now, then go back to TRT.
Would also like to keep it simple.

Any advice?
Would this be ok:
wk 1-8 500mg/wk T cyp
wk 1-8 250iu HCG 2 times per week
wk 1-8 .25/wk anastrozole

wk 9.... back to TRT (100mg/wk test, 100iu HCG 2 times week, no anastrozole)

I'd run the test for at least 10 weeks preferably 12. 8 weeks is not enough for a long ester. .25mg arimidex a week sounds on the low side. I'd start at .25mg EOD if you feel you are not estrogen sensitive.

BTW if that is you in your pic you are shredded and look great. You'll love the blast.

thx for your input. at 100mg t-cyp I hd no issues which is why i did not use the AI
at 500mg t-cyp you think I need that much AI? 1.25mg/wk ...

I would personally use Exemestane or aromasin (same product) dosed at 12.5 mgs eod or even every three days from either AG-Guys or Superior Peptides, both sell very good products. Research the difference between Exemestane and arimidex you might prefer one over the other. Exemestane has additional benefits I'm sure you'll like. Good luck!

Bump the 10-12 weeks.

Bump the Aromasin from AG Guys.

Bump the "nice job!" if that's you in the avi

Continue to pin your TRT while on cycle

Thats 5x the test. Most people here to get bloodwork done rather than going by feel seem to use between .25 EOD and .5 ED. With a half life of approximately 2 days more frequent dosing would keep things stable.

The biggest argument for arimidex vs aromasin is the possibility of rebound estrogen when coming off it which is a non issue if you are always on.

thx for the answer.
Another thing is that my doc wants labs every 3 months (12 weeks) so that puts me into a difficult position for a 12 wk cycle. I would have to stop the cycle probably 4-5 weeks before labs and go back to my 100mg/wk
