trt/ hrt/ CRUISIN poll

Trt is testosterone replacement therapy, it's replacing your natural testosterone with a naturally attainable level of testosterone.

Hrt includes other hormones like HGH, DHEA, preg, possibly thyroid and some other things. These things would all also fall within the naturally attainable levels

A cruise can be anything that's a lower dose from your cycle. I know people who cruise on 500mg to a gram of test, and it's not limited to bioidentical hormones. A cruise can kinda be whatever you want.

I don't feel it really has a place in the conversation with trt and HRT.

Now that I got my OCD and autism out the way ......

I'm 40. I use a baseline TRT of 150mg per week. I occasionally add DHEA and pregnolone. Sometimes if my break between cycles is going to be short lived, I might cruise on 300 test and some HGH. But typically I just go back to TRT.

I've actually been contemplating running 250-300 test year round in 2026 instead of my regular trt.

Broderick Chavez would call this trt Plus.

My personal opinion is that anyone low testosterone, or someone 35 and older who cycles at all, you should probably go on trt, and look into telmasartin and low daily dose tadalifil. They both have lots of benefits outside of blood pressure and boners.

If you can afford hgh year round, I'd entertain 2-3 units as well
 
I am 58 and on TRT of 100mg a week. I add 50-75mg which brings my levels to about 1000.
I am a powerlifter primarily. If I add anymore, I would need an AI and adding 50-100mg seems to have very little benefit in strength gains and just raises my Hemoglobin over the top and requires an AI, higher lipids etc... . I am already too strong for my own good the way it is. 400mg+ a number of times over the years mainly resulted in injury from getting too strong too easily.

Pretty much every time I add a oral steroid or run a bigger cycle, I hurt myself lol, and have to stop the cycle 🤷. When you love lifting heavy, it's hard to not test your strength or make aggressive jumps in weight. Anabolics and lots of hours in the gym can keep the body looking young and jacked, but the wear and tare still pile up.

Damm! I find I get so strong that would not brace as much as I normally would. And then it results in injury cause I somewhat loose. Same thing every frigin time! 150mg keeps me from hurting myself lol

what do you do on cycle with Test? Increase it slightly or a lot or dose dependent on the other anabolics? was looking at a full HRT with cycling a lighter anabolic like Primo or Mast, the e2 suppression of those would probably allow a higher Test dose during that time but wondering if that would even be necessary as long as e2 is not crushed. Thinking of just running a Test dose to get blood levels to ~1500ng and see how that goes for a few months, then add Primo for a cycle and adjust dosages after seeing how that goes. GH and HCG throughout. This is all still in infancy stages and depends on my next organ scan, bloods are looking good again but in older ages good to get those organs looked at.

Do either of you have a true script or just self prescribed or both lol

I have a script for 100mg, but add to it and adjust for 2 blood draws a year so my test is within the range the dr is expecting. My plan covers the test and Canadian health care covers everything else. And I get bloodwork a couple times a year so I can track health markers. I buy a little supplemental test to bring it to 150mg. I started TRT at 53yrs old where my test level was at 350.
