Just keep the diet and the steps set as they are see what happens to your look and body weight and adjust from there. That is high steps though so perhaps the next adjustment would come from food if you don’t want to be doing cardio. If it were me I’d pull the steps down and add in 20/30 mins cardio. Much more time efficient and you’ll get some added cardiac benefits etc.

Hello Joe,

You mentioned cardio, i was wondering, which cardio would you personally do and at what intensity, what are the steps i should follow to implement it in my routine as i tried in the past but struggled to set it up as a routine and was doing complete bs, thank you !

[Dimitri]

Thank you all for your answers and time, it truly helped me, i will be considering lowering my steps and cals at the end of this week as i will be monitoring my fatigue in the gym !

[Dimitri]

There isn’t a set in stone answer . My advise is adjust steps and calories both in sync to get the results you need

Thanks you for your answer !

Arimidex is an aromatase inhibitor, it inhibits the aromatase enzyme which convert testosterone to estrogen,

Proviron on the other hand is methylated dht, the way it counters estrogen is by increasing androgenic to estrogenic ratio, “kind” of like masteron would do but mast is by far better.

The molecules are different by far, if you want to reduce your estrogen i strongly advise you go for arimidex instead of proviron,

Both can be taken together but apart from the mild libido and energy boost you get from proviron i don’t find it really useful.

Dose arimidex cautiously though to not crash e2 and feel like absolute shit

[Dimitri]

Proviron will only balance the androgenic to estrogenic ratio, it’s literally methylated dht so that’s kind of how it helps with estrogen sides since it’s battling with E2 on androgen receptor sites, i honestly suggest you take some Ai and find the perfect dose that suits you and does’nt crash you estro, i tend to aromatize a lot aswell and proviron hasn’t helped me at all though arimidex saved my life.

[Dimitri]

Thanks guys ! Helps me a lot 😄

Do you reckon i stick with enanthate as for the test?

I always pin daily no matter the esther or compound, i just want to do a mini blast/ higher end dosed cruise since ill be busy soon enough and will have to stick to a regular trt.

I thought about using prop as my E2 spikes easily and idk if my masteron would be sufficient enough, yet i have arimidex on the side.

Do you reckon i stay on enanthate and just see how it goes ? Im just worried i can’t titrate fast enough with high E2 because the sides are really unbearable im quite sensitive to it

[Dimitri]

A small dose of primo or Mast e could help here but hard to source at mo so eq could be an option. As suggested the other option is reduce your dose. It’s common for trt Dr’s to prescribe aromasin to trt prescriptions to control estrogen.

I am currently reducing the dose to 63mg/week in hopes of feeling better, i would have opted for primo as an option but as you said atm it is quite hard to find, my only option is some mast p i have but it wont last long and id need to buy some again

[Dimitri]

in all honesty this is not something I have really seen with others when sing a TRT dose or any bother dose.

What is your BP like?

have you had any bloods done

My bp sits at 110, most i get is like 127

I just got my blood test and my Estrogen E2 is at 207pmol, 56pg/ml, idk if thats high or normal[/quote]

So only issue could be E2 being high. You may well be sensitive to this.

What was your test level at on bloods

[/quote]
With 75mg/week i would attain 40,74nmol/L ~1174ng/dl, im still waiting for my shbg, dhea and free testosterone to be calculated by the lab

[Dimitri]

What is it your looking to achieve currently?
For me your not in a range I would be concerned by. Usually by week 6-8 these symptoms should settle. Personally I would not opt for an AI
You could slightly lower the dose if 75mg/wk sub Q is giving you that return as your supra currently not hormone replacement. But again thats not a bad thing depending on your goal.
I would allow another 2-3 weeks before re assessing. Sometimes sub Q can spike E2 more than IM in some individuals. Again always individual.

Hello!

I’m genuinely trying to find a TRT dose that would be suitable for me. I’m planning to go into bigger cycles later, and I’ve always struggled to find a great middle point to cruise on.

I’m looking forward to increasing the doses and going for a bulk, but I’m struggling with TRT alone.

It happened to me once, nothing out of the ordinary, don’t worry !

It’s quite common to have much more pain in the quads rather than in the glutes as it has more nerve endings and blood vessels than glutes carry.

I used to pin in my quads and it would hurt and be sore for days after, but when I switched to glutes, I would feel nothing !

As for the blood going back into the needle, it could be because of the muscle twitch and pressure during use causing some tiny blood spilling back in but nothing dangerous.

Twitches were often due to the size of the needle in my case, I used 23g blue needles, when switching to 25g, I had no pain afterwards and no more twitches.

I’ve had this before but I believed it to be a muscular injury over organ realated. I think as I got strong on anabolics I was moving alot more weight and after chest days I would have the sharp shooting pai occasionally and would massage the area. If you put pressure or massage the area does it ease it?

*** Edit : yet sometimes it would also be stronger and sharper when i basically was on 250mg test, the anxiety i had and my cns was overdriven i would feel the pain x10 than what it is now, i really began to think it was a heart problem yet xray showed nothing, neither on my ribs, bloods afterwards were clean (didn’t assess them while on cycle as it was 3 weeks only when i started feeling this anxiety, high bp and i was a dumbass)

Sometimes, it does help massage. Honestly, I thought of going to see a physical therapist for it, but I haven’t ruled it out yet. If it’s totally that, you’re absolutely right – it must be due to quick progression and overloading. I had it a lot when I used to go to the gym, but now that I’m off anabolic steroids due to treatment, I still get those few pain spikes. Sometimes, when I breathe in deeply, it hurts more. I guess you clarified that it’s more muscle over organ injury-related because I’ve definitely gotten stronger quickly on my chest exercises.

[Dimitri]

I have not heard of anything like this before no.

Have you checked your Estrogen to see if its high?

Unfortunately not, i havent had it in mind the first time, i am looking forward to try again with a shorter esther like cypionate just in case it comes back so i can rapidly hop off of it, this feeling really sucks a lot !
