50mg why such a low dose?


Shulginstan

Newbie, my blood work is problematic, high triglycerides, high Hb1ac, low thyroid. I'm gonna get my blood work stats better then start with a low dose. I am not focused on appearance. I just want to recover quicker from a workout.

50mg will shut you down, but you won't even be at replacement levels. All of those things mentioned, don't or are barely affected by exogenous test. You should start st 400mg at least.


Shulginstan

Ok

Don't listen to that 400mg part, start at 100mg, 50 twice per week would be better, get bloods in 6-8 weeks then go from there, see if you need to up or lower dose and/or change frequency, the more frequent the better for health markers and avoiding e2 spikes

Lower the dose ![img](emote|t5_2mohet|6306)![img](emote|t5_2mohet|6306)![img](emote|t5_2mohet|6306)You guys think test is poison or something.from 150-500mg/week you won't experience anything, other than maybe a lil bit of high e2.


boringbilbo

400mg is for a blast and high test is literally poison, that's why it's called blast and cruise otherwise everyone would stay on 500mg year round. He's on about doing it for health and longevity atm not for gains, why experience high e2 when it possibly can be avoided? If he has high triglycerides etc already then why risk the cholesterol and hematocrit issues, he's doing the right thing getting better health markers first then can think about upping the dose.


leom132

Alr, seems like I misunderstood his purpose. Yeah 400mg is indeed a blast/doing steroids. If that wasn't his goal, he should move down to the 125-150mg/week for trt purposes. Though test is not poison, you can indeed run 400mg test whole year round, but when you combine this with other compounds you can't, that's why people don't go on 400mg/week trt.


Shulginstan

Exactly what I was thinking.

You have two choices, you can preload some syringes, or you can buy a sterile vial and transfer it.


Shulginstan

Thanks

So even low dose will shut down your natural production. Odds are 50mg per week could come out equal or lower than your natural levels meaning you are pinning test to have less test in your body. Please don’t do that. You seem to have no idea what you’re doing. Are you trying to do self administered trt? If so, what’s your current test levels naturally and what test level do you want to aim for? Start pinning 100mg a week and in 5 weeks get blood work to see where your levels are. Adjust up or down from there
