Hi, complete novice to all this, but have started using 300mg of test Enanthate every 4 days. Started taking due to depression and anxiety while on medication to prevent these without any success. Since starting around a month ago my mood is great I haven't been depressed and my anxiety isn’t debilitating. But I’ve been told to forget cycles and to use every 4 days for life, by the dude I’m getting from. Who says he’s been doing the same from 16 now 30 allthough I’m 50 and just started. So let the onslaught begin? Ps thanks for access to joining site.
Welcome to Excel!
If your goal was the use/abuse of testosterone for the sole purpose of gaining muscle mass/strength then you are on the right track.
The dose you are on plays no part in TRT/HRT.
Just to be clear this is a men's health/HRT forum.
High doses of T/AAS whether cycling, blasting/cruising has absolutely nothing to do with maintaining long-term health.
As you should very well know diet/training is key let alone your genetics will have the final say!
Although many can make decent gains in muscle/strength on what would be considered the higher-end TRT dose of 200 mg/week the anabolic properties will truly start to shine when you use doses in the 300-600 mg/week range and even than higher-end doses would result in better mass/strength gains.
Most concerned with gaining mass/strength are dipping their feet in at 300 mg/week.
Even then many end up banging 500-600 mg/week.
Keep in mind that 12 weeks at said dose is more than enough time to reap the beneficial effects as eventually gains in muscle/strength will stall and there is always a point where side effects outweigh the benefits.
You need to rethink this one.
Therapeutic doses of 100-200 mg T/week is common practice.
Most men are injecting 100-200 mg T/week whether once weekly, twice weekly (every 3.5 days), M/W/F, EOD, or even daily.
Even then the majority of men can easily attain a high let alone very high trough FT on 100-150mg T/week especially when split into more frequent injections.
There are some outliers that may need the high-end dose but this is far and few.
Far from common anyone would need what would be considered the higher-end dose of 200 mg T/week.
Unfortunately too many are jacked upon T from the get-go by those run-of-the-mill HRT clinics popping up on every corner.
Too much misinformation is littered on the internet (steroid forums, gootube, private).
Keep in mind a lot of these forums are loaded with Blast n Cruisers.
You get the point
.
The best piece of advice is to start low and go slow.
The common starting dose is 100 mg T once weekly or better yet 50 mg T every 3.5 days.
Bottomline do what you feel is best for you!
