question from a user
What would be the minimum amount/ frequency to actually avoid testicular atrophy on the mid/Kong run? I heard 5000iu every 6 months should do but idk
AlphaMD's Answer
Do you mean a single 5000IU dose every 6 months?
That would be like doing 3 pushups every 6 months and no other workouts and expect to not lose muscle mass.
If you mean something like a 3 month cycle of hCG 5000IU/week, then you would typically expect reversal of atrophy with that while you are on it.
The minimum dose to "keep them alive" on TRT is 500-750IU/wk.
