I have taken trt 1cc 200mg cypionate every 14 days for fist couple years. Didn’t seem like enough so now my urologist prescribed me 1cc 200mg every 10 days. If been on this more frequently dose for around 7 years. I know everyone is different but generally would it be ok to take 1cc of 200mg every 5 days along with clen for a 3 month cycle?

Have you done bloodwork to see where your testosterone and estradiol are currently? I wouldn’t really call 200 mg testosterone a cycle it’s what a lot of us cruise on between blast. Also why add clen? If you’re looking to lose weight I’d recommend focusing on your diet before adding clen.

200mg is a regular trt clinic dose. Agree on the above I personally don’t touch clen and think theres way better and healthier even options to clen, like for example as @erk253 said: diet.

For the record, while 200mgs per week is the standard TRT clinic dose, it is not actually a replacement dose as it will put you well above the standard reference range. I personally do not believe that it is healthy in the long term, especially if you are older, but do your own research and draw your own conclusions. However, your proposed dose of 280mg/wk (2x what you are taking now) is unlikely to cause significant side effects in only three months.

The risk/reward on Clen has never made sense to me, so I've never taken it. As others have suggested, best to get your diet dialed in first.

But it also begs the question - what is your goal in upping your test dose? If you're trying to put on size, clen and calorie restriction will certainly work contrary to that. I'm also on TRT and do small blasts occasionally, and it's been my experience that trying to cut while "blasting" such relatively small doses is not very effective. But everyone is different.

Doing measured extra cardio, or increasing your calorie deficit will give you more results than clen will.

Horrible protocol. The half life of test cyp is 7-8 days.

Weekly at bare minimum and 2x a week is better.

Granted it all depends on how you metabolize it you shbg etc etc. But yeah.

Id gather some data and have a chat about that or find a new doctor.

Labs at 14 to 10 days isnt going to show you a clear picture of where you are.
200mg every 3.5 days put my trough at 600 for instance. I went to about 180mg a week eod and trough went to 1200. Now im at 140mg and will get labs done in a few weeks to see where that put me.

I rocked the 200mg for a year. It effected my cholesterol a bit. Ive always had high hematocrit 49 pre trt. I get up to 53 if im not properly hydrated. I can get it back to 4.9 drinking a gallon of water a day, which is what we're supposed to drink anyway

It's not his fault. This is how it's prescribed in the US. Every TRT doc and GP starts with 100 mg test cyp 1 x week and adjusts based on bloodwork.

Im aware. I didnt mean to come across as if it was his fault. I just have to say something when I see people being told to dose once every 14 days, even 10 is no bueno. Its a red flag in my opinion.

 

[Liter O' Test]

you need bloodWork for testosterone and estrogen.

thats the first step before changing anything because you have no idea
also clen isnt really magic you should just do some cardio or cut out dirty foods

 

[Slowww]

I think a short 3 month cut doesnt merit the use of clenbuterol. It is better used at the tail end of a long cut or preparation for competition. 12 week diet is really quite easy to get weight off with a bit of caffeine and Yohimbine + adjusting cardio and diet when you hit plateaus.
