So for the past few months have been in search of the top Test dosage that does not require an AI. Thought i would share my results and learnings as this was a tedious but valuable learning experience. Obviously individual results will vary. Each experiment i would make a slight change to test dosage and then get blood work 8 weeks later.
1. 90mg once per week - Free Test 460 pmol/L and E2 43 pmol/l
2. 100mg once per week - Free Test 530 pmol/l and E2 93 pmol/l (25pg/ml)
3. 110mg two pins per week (was planning on 100 but always seemed to draw little more than 0.5cc) - Free Test 580 and E2 103 pmol/l (28pg/ml)
Learnings:
- At all 3 levels mood and energy were about the same...good
- With each slight change in Test got about a 4 week boost in libido until T and E found their natural balance
- At 90mg E2 was too low and so libido was a little low
- Small changes in test MG had linear changes in Free test and slightly lower % changes to E2.
- I was stronger and fuller with Test over 500. Under 500 could not make progress in gym but was making small gains over 500.
- The multiple pins per week experiment was to see if pinning twice per week would reduce E2. For me it did not make a noticeable difference.
- I liked two pins per week as test levels did feel more stable and i liked the lower muscle displacement with mini pins.
- TRT Dr said i was border line of needing an AI at 110mg so gave me a script for arimidex incase i wanted it, she said at 28pm/ml it was my choice..which i took for a rainy day
- Will do 100ml moving forward as my base. Will mostly do two pins per week but may switch back to one.
Don't have to go back for one year so will do a few more experiments with TRT Boosts
