TRT to first cycle advice

[Wrenchhead80]

Hello guys looking for advice.

40 year old who's been exercising for a few years. Started TRT three years ago. Got more serious lifting this year in January when I started to go to a gym five days a week. But since that came to a end I bought a complete gym setup in my garage now and I'm continuing to go five days a week. My TRT dose is 232mg of Test C a week and I take .25mg pill of arimadex two times a week (Mon/Thur). I can go with only one dose of the AI pill but get more agitated easily so I usually take the two. Either way I have killer night boners and a great sex drive and that's what I base the dose on. I do get labs threw out the year though. When I take three the sex drive and night boners aren't as great. So I feel 2x's a week is my sweet spot. I also take three shot's of HCG (450iu's each shot) a week for the balls. My body fat % when I started at the gym in Jan was 15.3 . I used their machine. Since then I've lost more fat and my abs are more visible but have no way of knowing the exact number now with them closed.

So for my first cycle I'm thinking (and after reading different post here) I should keep it simple and raise the Test dose by 300mg a week so I would be in the 500 to 600 range (532 to be more exact). My prescription is for three doses of the .25mg AI so I have extra in case I need it and figured I'd buy one kit of the arimadex 1mg/50 tabs to make sure I'll have enough in case I have to take more then I thought.

Or those arimadex tabs breakable to take a smaller dose?
Does adding the 300mg of Test C sound good?
How long should I run it before I go back to TRT levels per week?

I also learned about Anavar here and I sounded like something I'd like to try. But should I wait till I do my second cycle down the road?

I'm looking to put on some muscle and stay lean or leaner if possibly. I'v done both already since being on my TRT dose I just want more of those results lol. I'm not looking to get to a size I can only maintain by doing many different things threw out the year. Or at least not now lol. I enjoy having no sides and sleeping like a baby every night.

Thanks for any help and guidance.

This is only my opinion based on things I've read. I'm a newbie and on my 3rd cycle. Been doing trt for a while.

The best advice I was given is to keep it simple and only add one new thing at a time so that if it reacts bad you know what/which "it" is. You simply dont know how you'll react to a new compound.


For a first cycle it seems most people say between 12 and 16 weeks. I stick to 12 as I'm a newbie to blasting.

I was recommended to do just a high dose test e so I did that my first. I was told that dbol or anavar are good for second cycle. Dbol good for mass anavar good for lean.

That's all I know from what others have told me and what I have read. But I would trust others with more experience than me as I said I'm a newbie and on my 3ed cycle. Other dudes here on like there 30th cycle. Trust those guys.

That theory makes sense. I was thinking since I already take the Test C it's not a new thing so it shouldn't count. But then again Ive never taken a little over twice the amount. It sounds like anavar is mild and I liked the sound of the strength gains it gives too.

Thanks for the honest info.

No problem.

I forgot to add that along with my TRT plan mentioned above I'm also prescribed threw my doctor T3/T4 medication. So my thyroid levels are kept at optimum levels. I have hashimoto (autoimmune disease) not bad the number wasn't that high to begin with and with the T3/T4 meds and taking a selenium supplement my number has dropped to the low 100's. I also take LDN which may have helped too but definitely helped with the awesome sleep quality I get since I started taking the LDN.

500mg (250mg x2)

AI is up to you

If you haven't already, My first piece of advice for you is to educate yourself as much as you can, read through the stickies here and learn as much as you can about the compounds you're wanting to use.

But, I think that's a good first cycle. 12-16 weeks is great. I personally run both my blast and cruise at 16 weeks and I've been doing that for a long ass time. I'm of the opinion that you don't need anything over 500-600 Test a week, especially as a base, but your milage may vary.

Concerning the AI, I use as needed, pay attention to my body type thing, just as you alluded to with the erections. As previously mentioned, as you get more pumped about trying new things, make minor adjustments to your cycles in the event things go sideways.

Best of luck!

Sounds like everyone has the same idea. Makes sense to play it safe.

This may sound funny or stupid but when I start the cycle do I stop taking the real stuff I'm prescribed and switch totally over to the other stuff or go half half?

If it were me, I'd use the p harma grade first before I used the UGL

Any reason?

I was leaning over to the UGL completely. So I can save the trt stuff if down the road SHTF I can have a emergency stock of my trt meds or if buisness's or shipping shuts down for weeks or months with current events. The trt stuff I have logs showing what my levels are at different doses and schedules. So I know what to mostly suspect if labs can't be done for a period of time. Less of a guessing game.

Mixing seems like added work with no benefit I can think of.
