50-75 sounds right to me. The only reason why I said 150-200 is because of the ester. I would probably do Test E @ 75mg 2x/wk.
I would like to do this as long as possible without shutting myself down permanently.
On the other hand, I most likely have hypogonadism anyway.... When my T levels were tested at 16 or 17 years old, (I'm now 30) they were in the low 200s. And I've always had libido issues. The Dr. wouldn't do $h!t for me cus they were still considered in the "normal range".
Normal for who? A 90 year old man?
So shutting down my test production permanently wouldn't be much of a loss. But the question still remains...
Are there any other known risks besides shutdown of sperm and test? Cus I'm OK with that.
At the dosage u are going to be taking for the cruise part of it 250mg/week all at once, once a week should suffice fine. The moment u start introducing hormones into your body is the moment you start getting shut down, 250mg once a week will shut you down, there really is not way to stay on any amount of a steroid and not have suppression. Permanent shut down is generally the largest concern among users since the majority are young and dont know about having children.
There are health risks involved with testosterone, more prevalent at higher doseages however, i suggest you just sit down and do some research since you know your medical history better than any one on this board. Acne, irritability, hair growth, hair loss, increased cholesterol, as well as some people report that test makes their vision a bit foggy (happened to me when i was on). These are some possible side effects u may get all of them you may get none of them it depends on your response to the drug. However it is argued that blasting and crusing can actually be healthier than cycling because the drastic hormone changes every so often, and a more consistant controlled blood hormone levels. Im not going to say it is healthier but u go and do the research and see what you think.
However please do understand that if you choose to blast and cruise this is a pretty big step and you will (not going to say NEED but you will WANT to VERY MUCH) stay on steroids the remainder of your life.
Also take into account cost and risk vs. reward other than that the homework and decision are up to you.
