TRT is one of the most discussed methods of 'ascending' within the looksmaxxing community. Majority of the advice given is complete utter bullshit and no one has a clue. Here's how to actually hop on a cycle that will work and be safe.
Confirm You Actually Need TRT
Get blood work done to check your current free testosterone and total testosterone levels.This is the most important step, as it will determine whether you truly need TRT (testosterone replacement therapy).
If your total testosterone is under 800 ng/dL, you are generally not in the optimal range. If your free testosterone is under 0.6 nmol/L, you likely qualify for testosterone therapy based on common criteria.
You might not have clinically low testosterone levels, but you still want higher average levels and/or even supraphysiological (cycle-like) amounts to potentially enhance facial bone structure, clavicle width, or muscle growth. In that case, getting a blood test beforehand isn't necessarily required (though it's still highly recommended for safety and monitoring).
(Some individual's might argue that that's way too high and optimal is 300-800, That's true if you want to remain a homosexual.)
Correct TRT Dosing Information
TRT dosing is highly individualized. Some people might benefit from 100-150 mg Testosterone Cypionate or Enanthate weekly. Some people might benefit from 200-250 mg weekly. It all depends on the blood work 4 weeks after starting the testosterone.When hopping on a cycle, a range around 300-500 mg is advised but not to be held long-term.
When taking testosterone, your balls will stop functioning as they should. It is advised to take 250 IU of HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) EOD (Every Other Day) for your balls to function. If you do not care about being able to reproduce while on TRT, then don't bother taking this step.
Estrogen blocking. Now this is a very debated topic. How much and what type?? Personally, I suggest everyone take either 12.5 mg or 25 mg Aromasin (Exemestane) EOD. The reasoning behind this is it's a suicidal inhibitor, and your estrogen levels won't instantly spike once its effects wear off (NO REBOUND). You will have to check your blood levels and see if your E2 (Estradiol) is in an optimal range while on TRT.
Correct PCT Dosing and Protocols
PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) is also highly individualized and it depends on how long you have been on cycle for and your age/bloodwork. You should start PCT after the ester clears (2 weeks after last testosterone injection). Your goal is to restore LH (Luteinizing Hormone) / FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) to kick start natural T production. To do this you can simply take Clomiphene (Clomid) / Enclomiphene (Enclo) or Nolvadex (Tamoxifen).
HCG is also important so you can ensure you can reproduce again. You should start taking 1000-2000 IU of HCG every other day for 2 weeks before hopping off TEST and 2 weeks after hopping off test. You should get your blood work done throughout this as your levels may vary. Sometimes you will have to dose up due to harsher suppression.
