Me: Male, 49 almost 50, 230lb, 5'8"
I don't smoke, drink or do fast food. I don't know my BF% but I know I got more than I need. I don't lift weights or even belong to a gym (yet).
Diagnosis
Low T
I have been on HRT for over a year when I first got tested my test level was at 104xx/xx (I don't remember the units of measure.
After a year I was at 900+ due to cost and other issues I went from weekly injections to monthly. and then I got the side effects mainly acne.
So I stopped for 2 months to clean out...I went back recently my blood work was 347xx/xx and PSA 0.95.
Dosage I was getting was 250mg Test per mo either 1 injection a mo or divided up every week or every 10 days. (office injection)
I was also on HCG 500iu per week. (self injection) because the HRT center I was going to didn't do HCG but the PA gave me a script for it.
FASTFORWARD to today.
I found a doc to let me do it all at home. which is great since the center charged a lot like $80 just to inject me and office visit charges.
he wants me to do: .4ml per week of test cyp/prop (the bottle says 10ml CYP/PRP 200mg/20mg/ml) and 500iu of HCG 2x/week.
Q1: is this dose to low? I don't just want to be in "normal" range I want to gain so what dose would I see the most gains/benefits? Without becoming a full time bodybuilder just tone and muscular looking.
Q2: What other AAS should I look at I want to burn fat (winny?) and preserve joints etc (prim?) Others? anyone have a newbie type cycle that I could run long term?
Q3: Whats good to reduce/get rid of back acne the doc gave me a script for an antibiotic and a 1% topical solution. (seems the acne flared when I went to monthy injections) the meds only seem to reduce it. I cant see how such a low dose of Test would be the issue.
any other suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks
