Cycle before starting TRT

[Mike177]

Hello,

I may have to start on TRT pretty soon, as my test levels are pretty low (mid to high 200's). I have never used AAS before but have had some interest in doing so. I have been thinking about doing a 12 week cycle of 500mg Test c/e with HCG and an AI on cycle. However if I am just going to bring the dose down to 100mg a week test c after the 12 weeks would it be more beneficial for me to run a longer cycle? I hear peoples first cycles are their best in terms of gains, so I would like to get the most out of my first now that shutdown is no longer an issue.

Thanks!

If you have never used aas and your levels are that low, you will benefit from straight hrt. Ride that out until you are no longer making gains from that, then start some peptides or a blast.

Cool,
I am currently using GH at 2.5 IU a day and working up. Gains are pretty hard to make when your test levels are so low. I might do a short, low dose cycle just to make some small quick gains.

Also, if I'm on TRT will I keep all the gains I make on cycles or will it be necessary for me to blast again after cruising for a while?
