I’m starting Test C and I’m just wondering your guys opinion on dosing and how to go about it. Do I start at a trt and see how my body reacts and then up the dose into the anabolic range?
I guess the way I’m thinking about it is finding my cruise dose first and titrating up gradually over time.

Thank you in advance 🙏🏼
 
Just curious how old you are? If i were you I would first get bloodwork done and see where everything is at. Then run test only at like 200mg for 6 weeks and see where your at. But first which alot of people dont do is get bloodwork done.

24 and my test level is at 527. Unfortunately I did not get my estrogen or free test because it was through the VA. My CBC, Thyroid, Lipids, Chem 12 were all at healthy levels. I understand my SHBG, e2 and free test level are all important to follow up with throughout your cycle to measure where you are at, is this something that is absolutely needed prior to cycle?

You can do whatever you want, but the analogy I would use is that when you do a parachute jump, it's recommended you pull your cord at no lower than a thousand feet... your choice bro

Okay I appreciate it, recommend doing bodybuilder blood test on privatemd, good labs or could I do it cheaper?

I guess price and availability depend on where you live... but do yourself the favor and get some baseline blood work done for at least your current test and estrogen levels.
It really is the best way to dial in your doses.

Im getting my blood work done today for a baseline and 6-8 weeks into it. What injection frequency would you recommend?

Starting low tends to mean less/no side effects. Then go up form there to you get to what you are willing to deal with.
Starting at higher doses and having side effects at the start makes it tougher to figure out what is going on. If you are one of the guys that is ok with just throwing drugs at an issue till something seems to work. Then start high.

Okay thank you, I will be doing my first shot today. Was planing on 200mg per week, what do you think?

The more times a week you inject the more stable the blood levels and lower side effects for many/most.
I typically suggest at least 2x a week.
Rushing to do something you will be doing the rest of your life is not worth it in my opinion.
Inject stabilize and retest till you get what you want.
200mg/week often put guys over the top of the range at their trough.
In my 26 years of Dr prescribed TRT i have found most Dr start around 100mg/week.
Clinics start higher but those guys tend to be geared more towards size then health i find.
All depends on your long term gaols.
I have done daily injects for over 8 years.
200mg/week spread out over a week has my T levels around 1500 daily with 1000 being the top of the scale. 15mg/day has me at 800. 1x a week my numbers are much lower at the trough.
 
Have you had you levels tested over the past year or 2? How much sleep are you getting? Are you stressed whats your diet like? ReasonI am asking is all of those can greatly affect your natural production. Also what level are you trying to get? Starting TRT at a young age can lead to a lifetime of pinning. Some love pinning. I go through very few phases where I want to pin daily and not get sick of it.

For syringe size I use a 1 inch 23g luer lock to draw and 25g to pin. I like having a fresh needle just my preference. I pin 2 times a week now on E for TRT. I have done subq daily but it really just gets old to me. For daily I loaded 5 syringes at a time to not have to load daily. For subq I use 1/2 or 5/8 30g. Be sure and rotate your pin sites too. And if you get a squirter dont panick you wont bleed out. Lol
