I think tapering down is more a mental health issue rather than anything else. Going straight from 5+ grams a week to a TRT dose would feel like crap, I assume. At least if you taper you get used to successively lower weights, smaller, less impressive body size etc
nah its actually the opposite.
from 2-3g+ upwards most people feel like shit
heavy ass training, heavy ass eating, heavy ass injecting takes a toll
you actualyl feel MUCH better dropping down to 1-2 small shots a week
after a few weeks youll be refreshed and ready to hit it hard again
tapering down just drags out the whole process, for me that would feel much worse at least.
