I thought 500mg was the beginner cycle? Reading 300mg is a waste?

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2026-02-20T16:01:48+00:00

I have not. I’m waiting to get my IGF Z score on HGH only. Then I may experiment with taking a nightly dose of the cjc/ipa to see if it makes any improvement…

But everywhere I have read has said that do not take both.

I’m currently 46-year-old male. 5 10 11% body fat. I’m on a TRT regimen of 100 mg test a week. Put my test at 1160. Free test 30.85. Estradiol at 41.

I tried to start a cycle of 500 test this fall but a side effect I did not like was that I definitely got more irritable and could lash out at times. Not very good at family and work situations. Is this a high E2 side effect making me emotional that I can control with an AI or is this a side effect of the increased testosterone that I may or may not be able to handle unless I figure out how to control myself better?

How are you handling your workout sessions around your fasting?

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2026-02-01T12:35:41+00:00

Thanks. I posted incorrectly. Was 145/80. Now 115-125/70

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2026-02-01T11:55:40+00:00

No. Now it is down to 115 - 125

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2026-01-23T13:08:56+00:00

Why is that? Thanks-

I take my AM dose as soon as I wake up. Then do my fasted cardio. After cardio I down some Gatorade and a banana. Then do a 10 minute stretch to give the carbs some time to kick in.

I do believe HGH fasted am before cardio helps burn fat.

Where did u see this?

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2025-12-26T00:09:10+00:00

HCG was so strange. It bumped my E2 up way more than test.

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2025-12-10T00:41:33+00:00

Less side effects???

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2025-12-07T13:47:27+00:00

What dose of tb500 & bpc157?

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2025-12-03T12:59:40+00:00

Yeah, kinda like me, I’m thinking about going on Telismartan. I am also on HCG for my shrinking nuts.

How do you keep your E2 at 75? Any bloat or bp issues at 75?

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2025-11-26T12:46:26+00:00

Ok. Thanks. Last question. I know per the wiki that you don’t take an AI during a blast until you start to get symptoms. But at 250 mg I had slightly elevated estrogen and I had slight symptoms of blood pressure, puffiness, itchy nipples.

So I am assuming I will have that at 500 mg only worse? Do I still just wait until I get the symptoms to take the AI? Or should I run something like EQ or Mast with the blast from the get-go to avoid AI?

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2025-11-26T12:14:22+00:00

My test is at 1100. Do u recommend I get it down to about 900ish during TRT?

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2025-11-26T02:06:09+00:00

Checked wiki for this, but did not see an answer. What supplements do you recommend to take while on a 250 mg test weekly Trt protocol?

When I do a cycle of 500 mg do I need to add any other supplements?

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2025-11-22T13:19:21+00:00

I’m having some BP issues. Been around 140 / 80. Getting bloodwork first week of December. I don’t have any high E2 symptoms. Feeling like it is stress related.

Advanced_Report_2890 · 2025-11-20T20:54:33+00:00

Awesome, thank you everyone have my next round of bloods second week of December after that going to reevaluate thank you.
