Lower dosage to avoid side effects

[smoking_JayCutler6]

Hey sst. I’m considering trying a cycle of test. I’m hesitant because of possible side effects, mainly hair loss and acne. I know a common first cycle dose is 500 mg. Would it be a waste to try 300 or 400? Would that lower the chance of sides while still giving good results?

I’m sure this isn’t an original question so sorry about that

I can’t find my last blood test results unfortunately. My doctor has never mentioned an issue with testosterone so I’m guessing I’m in the normal range.

My goal is to add more muscle and get really cut. I’m fit now, but I’d like to improve my physique. I’m not trying to get huge

If you can grow on less, stick to less until you can’t.

My blast is typically 250-300mg per week. Anything above that and the sides aren’t worth it to me. My last 500mg blast left me with no appetite, unable to run due to pumps [even with 3-5g of Taurine], and lethargic.

Natural low T here FWIW.

My last cycle was 400mg test and 400 NPP. It was fucking KILLER. I stayed lean and dry gained 16 pounds kept 11 of it. The best part I had ZERO side effects.

I did a low dose “blast” of just 300mg. About six weeks later, people were asking me if I was juicing. 300mg will put you well over natural levels and should work nice for you. Give it a shot. You will def need to control estrogen though.

3-400 is absolutely enough to see great results from. If anything I would advocate using a low dose like 300-400 for your first blast over 5-600 as commonly touted.

How do you guys do blast?

Just take for example 250mg once a week? or pin two times?
I hate pinning so even 2 times a week is a lot for me

Thanks for all the responses!

What kind of sides have you guys experienced on your ~300mg cycles?

Took your guys advice and decided to start my first cycle 175mg/2x week.

None - I can stay on 250mg a week and have zero sides with solid bloodwork. I will have to donate twice a year to keep my blood from becoming yogurt but that’s a very small inconvenience.

I like that dose too, leaves me in a great place and don’t need AI which is nice

Lucky guys. I was on 100mg a week for TRT and my nips got itchy, had to drop it down to 80mg.

Natural low T of course.
