If you don’t have low testosterone then this is a bad idea. You’ll be gaining less and basically signing yourself up for potentially a lifetime of treatment.
500 isn’t a cruise. Neither is the 250 you’ve proposed, but that’s neither here nor there.
You’re talking about doing high trt instead of just running a proper cycle and then cruising at a normal dose, which would yield you a lot more in terms of mass gains.
You’re going to shut down natural production for two years. A restart isn’t guaranteed. So the potential risk is known and quantifiable. In order to make that risk worth it you need the return to be pretty high. You’ll get more out of running two or three blasts and cruising at a healthy dose in between.
Beyond that, 250 is no-man’s land. It’s supraphysiological, so it isn’t necessarily healthy. Plus it may require an AI (it also may not). It’s probably enough to make some nice gains, but is it enough to offset the pain in the ass it may be to manage a weird dose like that? No way to know until it’s too late.
Safer than eating Chinese food once a week for the next two years, but not as safe as taking ibuprofen once in a while for a headache.
There’s no answer here. It’s safe relative to other things you may or may not do. Nobody has died because they ran a test cycle unless they were ready to die anyway. If you don’t get too many side effects then it’s like you’re on nothing at all. You get stronger, you recover faster, things get easier. But it isn’t some huge shift in the way you operate. Or at least it isn’t for most people.
Cheers. I suspected the healthier choices going along with this probably offset any direct physiological damage, in terms of overall health. I guess you could worry about specifics like prostate, gyno, hair, etc.
These do not bother me. I guess the people who replace their kidneys take more.
No offense but it sounds like you have a lot to learn from the questions and responses. Stick around for awhile and read up. A few weeks from now you will triple your knowledge on the subject.
