Thread: "Blast & cruise" does this mean the blast has to be higher than those who only cycle

I would like to hijack this a little bit and get some opinions tailored to my situation. I am on a tiny dose of TRT myself; prescribed to take 0.25 mL of a 200 mg/mL test cyp (which ends up being 50mg every 5 days- 70mg a week if my math is all correct), which is obviously SUCH A TINY AMOUNT (been on for 2 months)! However, I have gained 10 lbs of muscle in the last 2 months just with that (and that I had atrophied due to multiple back surgeries and am getting back into it), and I actually do feel better with energy and libido. I already took a blood test so I should have 5-6 months before I have to take another one to get it refilled.

Before I got prescribed TRT I had ordered a cycle from a sponsor on here, so I have some stuff sitting around. I have 20 mLs of test-200 and I also have 90 tabs of anavar and a bunch of HCG/aromadex for PCT. I have used before, but it was one cycle many years ago. Considering my cruise dose is so low, does anyone have advice about a "blast" cycle? I'm concerned about the large disparity between a normal cycle and such a low cruising amount of test. I know you wouldn't normally PCT back onto a cruise, but with such a low test amount, I wonder if that rule would change. I also don't know much about orals- though I've looked up what anavar is, I wonder if someone with experience could weigh in on what ONE cycle of it would do to my cholesterol levels- will they go back to normal after a while off of it?

Thanks for any advice!

I accidentally hit thank and can't undo it, so I might as well respond, haha!

You're right in saying that's a tiny amount for trt. For an example, my trt is scripted at 200mg test e/week. (Doc is pretty cool) But it sounds like things are better for ya, so that is what's important.

Anyway, as far as a blast is concerned, I'd recommend the basic beginner cycle of 500mg/week. The arimidex I would try running at .5mg every three days to start, and then adjust as needed after you get your mid-cycle bloodwork done.

The HCG can be used if you want to keep the boys full, but won't be necessary.

Your cholesterol levels will be affected by running high test and the adex, lipid-stabil or red yeast rice are good OTC supplements that can help keep your lipids within range. My doc was actually pretty surprised with how good my lipids looked while on cycle and using the lipid-stabil. After coming off and going back to trt, I continued running the lipid stabil and after about six weeks we pulled blood again and my levels were great.

I wouldn't worry about a PCT. (You don't seem to have the right stuff anyway. I'd recommend getting it and keeping it on hand, just in case) You're introducing exogenous hormones into your body, so you're going to be shut down. Just go right back to your trt dose until your next blast.
