No taper. You drop to trt dose 6 weeks before seeing the doc.
Before starting, take baseline trt bloods.
5 weeks into blast, take same bloods.
3-4 days after last pin of blast, take same bloods.
Compare to your pre trt bloods and then again to new trt bloods drawn by doc.

Some do. Better safe then sorry.
So I've been on 500 week for couple
Months now. I am getting test next week. Was thinking about upping my dose to 700. But I guess the bigger question is at what Tlevels will I see the best gains? I went from 244 to 986 but don't think that's high at all and not seeing lot of gains.

Agree with what all the folks have said.
Just curious why jump to 400 instead of 250? Doubling the dose is usually quite effective.
I jump up that high for more of a cycle not a trt dose
Let me k ow what your T levels end up at that dose ..my natural t level was 850 and then re tested and it was 660 and then got on trt and was at 125 and my T level where at 1359 my issue was I natural had high testosterone at 850 and even 660 but not free testosterone my shbg was high and my estrogen was at a 9 very low

You should be able to grow on 2x your cruise dose brother. 250 isn’t TRT. I don’t understand why your first blast is more than 3x the total dosage.

I didn’t know tell you the truth
What testosterone levels is best for growth not talking about dose but blood work?

Well really the bloodwork determines the dosage. Or at least it should. You should be able to grow nicely especially on a first cycle with test levels around 1500 ng/dl which for most guys is around 200-250 mg per week. The rationale being that if you grow well on 250 you can go to 300 next time. Then 350 and so on. Gives you more time to progress. And as the test dosage increases you’ll likely need to start worrying about estrogen control and other side effects. It’s always best to get the most out of the least for as long as you can.
That makes since

I used to do heavy cycles but dropped to 100-200 mg test for 10 years. But Over the last couple years I have very slowly increased my test from 200 to 280 mg per week. I have been itching to do my first blast in about 13 years but I am kind of scared to damage my health which I have finally gotten to a good place ( lost over 40 pounds, got BP and FBG in normal range, etc).
For someone my age (54), would it be better to blast and cruise 8 weeks on 440 mg then 8 weeks back to 280 mg? Or better to just continue to increase very slowly in 40 mg increments?

How are the labs on 280? Specifically HCT, estrogen?

I should mention that I am also using 200 mg Masteron, 2 iu HGH and 2.5 mg reta. HCT is 48.5, Estrogen 33 pg/ml. Total test 478 ng/dl (down from the 600s before I started using 40 mg telmisartan) and free test 199 pg/ml. BP is normal and FBG typically 85-95.

If you’re looking for an 8 week blast I’d say go 400+. If you’re looking to inch up slowly to see how much you can run for an extended period of time with good bloodwork I’d go to 320 for a while and check labs.

I appreciate your response. I like the idea of bumping up my test dose slowly according to performance and health parameters. If health metrics start to deteriorate do you ramp the dose back down slowly or drop immediately to say 200 mg?

I think you can drop back to where you started where bloods looked good (280). You can always go down to 150-200 if you think you need more of a break.
