200- 300 mgs are TRT doses..what mostS doct give their patients..bloodwork will dictate how healthy you are on it..but it's pretty safe.it's been proven ..if should keep your test levels around a 1000 which is high but within normal ranges ...it wont spike up too much estrogen neither,, so no reason to add an AI but keep an eye on it.....Test is king..afer all is the the hormone we produce...leave all progestins and chemical shit out..you will not only live forever but one day you'll 60 and fucking like a 20 .y.o
good post slin
if I may add something, if you are getting human grade testosterone, 100~150mg a week is probably more than enough to put you in the high range, but still within phisyological range. 200mg is certainly slightly above normal range, but I agree with you that testosterone is very safe if you are not going crazy with dosages for extremely long periods.
From my studies I've come to realize that a very good form of hrt would be injections of nebido (testosterone undecanoate) 1000mg every 10~12 weeks. In studies, this way has proven MUCH more stable concentrations than testosterone enanthate and MUCH less need for injections (4~5 per year) which sound great if you like to travel a lot and can not take gear with you, or if you are not particularly a fan of pinning. You may not mind of injections now, but imagine yourselves when you get to 70+ years old, when retired and all you want is to take a nice trip to bahamas (or any place you may want to go) and enjoy yourself.
if you guys are interested take a look at the links below for more information about nebido and its use for trt:
http://www.agingmale2006.com/transcripts/transcript_sag_long-acting_vs_standard_testosterone.asphttp://www.agingmale2006.com/abstracts/abs_sag_nebido_hypogonadal_men.aspinteresting to say that testosterone, estradiol, dht, psa, lipid profile, etc everything is mainteined very well within normal ranges. No need for AI.
My point is, keep testosterone around 200mg maximum, and if you want a little more kick from anabolics, add primo, 400~600mg would do you good with much less side effects than testosterone since it does not convert to estradiol or dht, which cause most of the problems related with testosterone use.
hgh 4~5iu daily would be a BIG bonus, no need to tell its benefits, we all know it by now.
but of course, if money is an issue, than a little more testosterone will give a very good bang for the buck.
