mid 40's, 5'10" 235 lbs - I posted my intro about training and gear history (pretty heavy for 5-6 years in my 20's, no PEDs for 15 years, TRT past year).
So my TRT doc has me written for Test 300 mg (i know, that's not TRT, but that's what the Rx is). I had been taking 200 mg for many months with a Free Test about 1.5x Upper limit of normal. Felt pretty good, but not great. Recently upped it to 300 mg and I feel incredible in terms of mood, energy, recovery, etc.. Current regimen is Test 300, HGH 4 iu bedtime, Tirzepatide 5 mg weekly, and some ancillaries / peptides. Where I need help is this...
My H/H prior to starting HRT was already high, 17 and 47 respectively. On 300 mg test Hgb is nearly 18 and HCT is 51-52. My doc also has me on Arimidex 1.5 mg weekly, which many have advised me against and which i plan to taper down to 0.5 mg weekly at most. I'd like to add in nandrolone 100 mg as I have in the past, with a plan to drop test to 200 mg so the total weekly load stays at 300 mg. However, it's also been suggested to me that I drop the test to 150 - 200 mg weekly and add in low dose tren, 60 mg weekly. My other concerns are lipids. LDL is mid 60's but HDL is always low. Usually sits in high 30's but recent labs was 30 on the nose. E2 was 35 on the regimen of test 300 and arimidex 1.5 weekly. My hope is that dropping the Arimidex to 0.5 / 0 will bump by E2 a little and hopefully help the HDL, but I'm also trying to get the LDL as low as I can (maybe even to 50)..
Curious what you all think makes more sense after lowering test to 150 - 200. Nandrolone 100 or Tren 60 per week, given concerns for H/H and Lipids. Will also be donating blood before I add anything, though I'm not sure that does much. Have been donating every quarter and my H/H doesn't budge (which is consistent with the literature searches I've done). As far as goals, i'm currently in fat loss phase. I've recomped / cut on NPP / Deca in the past with good success, and these are very low dosages. I like the fullness I get when depleted of carbs / calories. And a bump in strength as well. I was reckless in my 20's and never got bloodwork when on cycle. I know I tolerated NPP / Deca well but Idk what impact it had on my bloodwork. I guess what I'm looking for is a combo of lower test + anabolic to perhaps have less impact on H/H and lipids. That is, perhaps tren or deca will be lighter on those paramaters than the higher dosage of test (for me).
Thanks to all for any ideas / comments.
