Questions on TRT, to 12wk cycle, to postcycle

[Hostilepropaganda]

I am new to this website and forum lots of great info I have read on this forum maybe some of you can help me with my questions.

I have been going to TRT for the last 8 months receiving 170 a week and have put on a solid 20lbs.

My plan is to run 300 test and 200 eq a week for 12 weeks .

Questions

1) Since I have been going to the TRT place for 8 months should I take time off? If yes how long? or just stop going to TRT and run my cycle?

2) For post cycle should I take time off? again how long? or go back to my normal dose of 170 a week?

My stats if this helps any I am 32 yrs old 6' 220lbs
been in sports and lifting most of my life

Well, if youre on TRT for legitimate reasons then that means that you will suffer low test if you get off, Since you ask the question it makes me think that perhaps you really didnt suffer from low test levels and are just using the TRT place for enhancement? If you are truly suffering from naturally low test then I would never get off the TRT, thats for life. So you would run the cycle and then drop down to your usual TRT dose for about 12 weeks and then perhaps do another cycle after that.
Before and after you cycle you need to run a CBC to make sure your hematocrit and hemoglobin are within normal levels. If its high then youll need to donate blood to get it down before you can safely cycle. Once you cycle it will go up even more but should drop down after being off for about 2 months. I do worry a bit about those levels though because 170 mg/wk is a fairly hefty HRT dose. Taking test will raise your H/H. Some guys have H/H issues even when taking just the usual 100 mg/wk.

Yes I on going to TRT for enhancement it was mentioned from some friends because they all put on size. I was paying month to month and is pricey so decided to try another route.
My last visit I had blood work done so I should be getting my results this week.
As far as the levels some of my friends are getting 200 and over so i thought 170 was a medium dose, always good to hear from someone ( yourself ) that knows.

thanks again for your help

If youre going to cycle higher doses be sure to get your CBC done first and be sure that your hematocrit and hemoglobin are safe levels. I would want your hematocrit to be around 45 or so and no more.
