My doc has had me on TRT for about a year and a half now. On this go around, he put me on a Cypionate/ Propionate blend. It is 200mg cyp/ 50 mg Prop. (Per ml). His instructions to me are to take .75ml injections twice weekly. I guess this equals 300mg Cypionate/ 75mg Propionate per week = 375mg total per week. My injection schedule will be Mondays and Thursday's. I know that Propionate is a short ester with a short half life....That being said, here are my questions: 1. What do you guys think of that blend (Cypionate and Propionate) with that injection schedule? How effective do you all think that will be in terms of keeps test levels stable? 2. With that dose per week, will I be able to maximize my muscle mass or put on more? Of course, I always train hard and eat plenty of calories as well. I really would like to add more muscle mass with the help of this TRT as he has prescribed it. Your thoughts are great appreciated!
 
Yes, it's a blend. It says it's 200mg cyp/ 50mg prop blend per ml. The way the instructions reads it says "inject .75ml twice a week". My test was at 193 this last time. I don't know what my level are while on this blend just yet, He just prescribed me this dosage schedule Thursday.
 
That's correct. By the time I had my blood taken I had been off my TRT for about a month (that's why it was low). He knew that, because I told him I wanted to take a break.
 
I actually was the one that asked him about it. I straight up told him I wanted to be able to increase my fitness level/ muscle a bit. But wanted to make sure we did it in a safe manner (if there is such a thing. Then he suggested this.
 
Yeah, he's actually an Aesthetics doc here in Houston. He did prescribed me some Arimidex to go with it. Although, I mentioned that to him, I made sure I emphasized that I wanted to do it safely. Hey bro, I appreciate your comments and suggestions.

It might... Try massaging the injection site a bit. Some people are just prone to it, while others get very little... The only thing that gives me bad pip is winstrol

Had my second injection yesterday and this one left very little soreness. I am switching to the 3x injections of .50ml = 375mgs per week. The first one hurt like ****! I shot .75ml the first time (was going to do .75ml 2x per week).
 
How would you suggest me take my Arimidex on this regimen? The doc suggested a generic "take 1 pill on the same day of the injection" (this means 1 pill, twice weekly). Of course, when he prescribed that he was assuming I was going to do two .75ml injections a week. What are y'all's thoughts? Of course, now I switched my pins to 3x .50ml.
 
Until you have an E2 lab number, (that is too high) I would hold off on the ADEX.
If in a few months, if your E2 is elevated, then I would try some ADEX. (I prefer Aromasin)
Depending on how high your E2 was, I would start with 1/4 of a pill, twice a week, and blood test E2 in a month.
If you crash your E2 level, it can take a while for it to recover, so SLOW and EASY with blood tests.

Well, thus far I've taken 2 injections on the new regimen and my nipples are already feeling a little sore, which tells me my E2 is already going up. I may just start with 1/2 twice a week? Or is that still too much too? I won't do a blood test until 3 more weeks.

Blood tests are always helpful. This is also where experience comes in and knowing your body. I don't want to over complicate it but basically everybody is different and the way they synthesize hormones are different. Some people run there AI from the get go, and others will wait between 2-4 weeks until they "feel" they need it. I don't believe there is a right or wrong way, but I can say what works for me. I like to run mine from the get go. .25 eod or e3d. You do want to be careful not to crush your e2. That's not good. For me the first 4-5 weeks while my levels are climbing is where I have the biggest problem. As my test goes up, e2 wants to go up with it. So I basically like to control mine from the start rather than play catchup later. If you notice achy joints, low libido or lethargy they are all signs that your e2 is too low. Estrogen is a good thing, you just don't want it to be too high. You also don't want it to be too low either lol. It's kinda tricky but once you know what to look for and how to listen to your body you will know. There is no substitute for experience. Def keep the dosage to .25 eod or e3d. I'm not the greatest at explaining this, it's more of a learned science for me. Maybe someone else can explain it better

Godstrength - So you think to start out at 1/4 of a pill eod or e3d is the best bet? Then tweak as needed from there? I want to be careful not to over suppress
 
Godstrength said:
Yes, watch for the signs that I posted above. If you notice joints are getting dry, libido crash or lethargy back off a little. Also I find the best natural ways to help are to drink LOTS of water, and do a little cardio 2-3x week to knock out excess water. .25 e3d and if you think it's not enough I would bump it to eod

Awesome. Thanks dude. That makes sense. Appreciate the feedback brother.

I inject Test-C 1xW, and take .5 mg Arimidex the fourth day after injection. That's supposed to be when estro peaks for Test-C/Test-E. If it were me, I'd try 1/4 pill (.25 mg) each injection day or maybe the day after each injection. If that doesn't keep it in check, increase the Ari .25 at a time - .25/.25/.5, then .25/.5/.5, etc.

Arimidex hits the bloodstream pretty quickly, IM injections take a day or two to peak. Those little pills can be a bitch to cut tho - mine seem to crumble easily.
