question from a user
My trt doses have me feeling healthy and amazing. I see a lot of people mentioning blast and cruise where they do a cycle of 500mgs etc. Is there any benefit to that from an anabolic and getting fit and adding muscle standpoint? Seems like an obvious yes except for the fact that I've converted to estrogen at 200/once a week. Would I just be wasting the extra t with already loaded receptors?
AlphaMD's Answer
Yes & no.
As Testosterone dose increase past a certain point, say, 180-200mg/week - Side effect chance tends to exponentially increase & benefits tend to decrease per mg. For many men they still do get more benefits from the increased dose. However, something to note: Even if you know you have Estrogen symptoms & plan to control them with an increased AI, you will also likely have high DHT symptoms like potential hair loss.
When working at higher doses watch your hair loss very carefully, a few bad blasts and you can lose a lot of hair if you're genetically unlucky.
That said, we cannot manage that style of treatment as providers, as it is far outside of what is considered acceptable use with the DEA. I hope that information helps you though.
