Is TRT right for me?

[mastiffman77]

Guys im 34 and im done having kids. Im tired of wasting money on pct when i could just be using test. First, do you guys think I should do trt? Second, what type of dosage would you recommend? Thanks

I think you should go on a doctor prescribed TRT only if you have proven your testicles are out of order. 34 is very young. Have your test levels checked and give it time. Keep checking test levels every couple months for a year before you give up.

Thanks Chisel. I know Im a little young but i just hate being completely off of test. Pack, Bad, Neo, Spa what do you think?

I concur with Chisel. Give yourself a little time and see how you recover on your own. If it weren't for the fact that TRT is a lifetime commitment, it wouldn't be such a big deal. If my understanding is correct on the subject, once you have been on TRT for long enough, the mechanisms that produce test naturally in the body can shut down for good.

Regarding your question in your opening statement, I have read that 200mg/wk of test cyp or enan is pretty typical.

Does anyone here know if triptorelin can help out Mastiff? I have read several places that it can jump start your system if it's down. However, almost everything I have read was anecdotal and not first-hand experience. Any guys here ever used it or know someone who has?

200mg/week is correct. I use 400mg test C injection every two weeks.

You do a single 400mg injection every two weeks? Have you considered 200mg 1x a week?

I have considered it but I follow the doctors orders. He figures 26 injections a year is less for life is less scar tissue than 52 per year. Little does he know I am leaveing needle scars on my quads, traps and delts.

IMO that is the short-sighted view of it, especially at your age. I'm 42 and have given it some serious thought these past couple of weeks. But I'm going to hold out for awhile and see where my test levels are early in the New Year, and how I feel. Then I will make a decision. At your age, unless your levels really don't rebound, it's an extremely big decision to take. After you're clean for 4-5 months, and Test levels are still low, then you can make an informed decision. Good Luck.
