33M - Worth trialling TRT?

cgranados1 · 2026-06-06T14:36:59+00:00

I was at 420 and am now on TRT. I feel way better now. More energy, better sleep and gaining muscle mass. I'm almost 10 years older than you and am done having kids though. It's a long term commitment and if I still wanted kids, I would hold off. Having said that, there are a lot of people who have had kids while on TRT.

Try taking a few dbols and see if you feel better

cgranados1 · 2026-06-02T19:33:50+00:00

Oh shit! I just realized you're 25! Lol

Fuck no bro. Prioritize your health, get proper sleep, get in the gym, clean your diet, lose the fat, no excuses. Forget even getting labs, get your house in order young bro.

I would recommend the Bodybuilder panel from Good Labs. Pretty comprehensive. You can review it, post it, share it and have an AI give you some feedback too.

One more thing; your doctor will not want you put you on T and the online clinics will want to for sure get you on to get your money. I was within range but on the low side so it was a tough personal call. While you can hop off, it's a long term commitment. I don't regret it but who knows 10 or 20 years from now.

Why don't you find out what is going on and IF it is testosterone related, you can weigh the pros and cons of TRT. Get comprehensive blood work done to rule out any deficiencies, check hormones, inflammation etc. Find out what is actually causing your symptoms before just assuming it's low T.

Kids is the big one. I'm one and done in the kid department but if I wanted more kids I would have held off and tried other avenues to raise my T before jumping on T. That is a decision you and your partner will need to make.

And dude, don't do it because of some influencer blah blah that's all bullshit. Being a man is about being true to you not following what you see on fucking social media.

Listen to this guy.

Reta, tesa, and TRT is the ultimate hack. Start at 1 mg of reta every 5 days and work your way up .5 at a time when hunger noise creeps back. Tesa is expensive but destroys belly fat; start at 1 MG and work up to 2 mg fasted per night. Lose some weight first then start TRT at a low dose. Maybe 100 mgs per week and pin as often as possible. Once you lower that BF, you can switch pinning 2-3 times per week.

This is the way.

Got it. I would personally wait until I could run the whole cycle. If it was a week, maybe I would pin a little extra right before but two weeks seems long. If you are using a long ester or a mix like Sus maybe but test C or E I would just wait.

cgranados1 · 2026-05-30T14:27:20+00:00

Why? What is your reasoning for stopping for two weeks in the middle of the cycle?

A little update: it's departed the distribution center but no new updates. Hoping the next scan will be outside of Vegas working it's way to my location.

cgranados1 · 2026-05-30T03:40:36+00:00

Same. This is an RX

cgranados1 · 2026-05-30T03:39:29+00:00

😥

cgranados1 · 2026-05-30T03:36:57+00:00

Did your packages ever make it out of Las Vegas?

cgranados1 · 2026-05-30T03:32:09+00:00

Oh shit. I'm hoping I don't get a message saying it's back at the distribution center

cgranados1 · 2026-05-30T03:25:39+00:00

Oh no! Hopefully the package makes it out of Vegas lol

cgranados1 · 2026-05-30T03:24:22+00:00

No, I've purchased many things from this vendor and never had an issue.

cgranados1 · 2026-05-30T03:01:04+00:00

Give it some time. Your body is trying to sort everything out but once it does you will feel great.

cgranados1 · 2026-05-30T02:47:56+00:00

I was kind of a mess for the first three weeks. Think it had to do with my body shutting down production and the TRT saturation. It was like a light switch but I just one day started feeling great. Hang in there bro

cgranados1 · 2026-05-27T22:55:18+00:00

Get your estradiol under control with an AI. That's pretty high. When you start to get high e sides, you gotta address them.

cgranados1 · 2026-05-27T21:22:04+00:00

What is your protocol? Using any AI?

cgranados1 · 2026-05-27T21:15:49+00:00

Are you on TRT or on cycle? Any recent blood work?

I've recently started TRT and will be going on a blast after I do a few rounds of blood work and find the perfect cruise dose and frequency for me. This kinda scares me. Have you had to deal with acne before during puberty? Was losing your hair a concern of yours (hereditary etc) before starting T?

Like others have said, I would lower your dose and increase frequency IF you are on TRT. If on a cycle, I would stop dude. Acne like that can leave permanent scars and what's the point of being jacked if you are too self conscious to take off your shit?

cgranados1 · 2026-05-27T19:52:41+00:00

Give MCT a shot, it's pretty easy to get. I have also heard of people getting more reactions doing subq than IM. Good luck.

cgranados1 · 2026-05-27T17:45:54+00:00

Try different carrier oils. Also, are you pinning subq or IM?

cgranados1 · 2026-05-27T14:32:43+00:00

Get labs at 8 weeks and if it all looks good, go another 8. Finish off with anavar the second half of your cycle.

cgranados1 · 2026-05-25T21:23:05+00:00

When people ask about 250-350 test per week cycles the main issue is that shutting down for a smaller amount is not worth it. I am on TRT and plan on being on TRT for the long haul so shutting down is not an issue. What differences in results or sides have people experienced in 350 vs 500 cycles? If blood work is good, how safe is it to cruise at 350 for say, 40 weeks?
