First off you mention TRT or a Cycle? Do you mean TRT as in a legally prescribed condition that you have or a funny way of saying a Testosterone cycle?
All steroids cause sides, sorry. TRT levels of testosterone are beneficual, but are you hypogonal?
As far as injectable to avoid. I guess avoid the blends at high mg/ml. People will say avoid testosterone Prop, but if it’s what fits your cycle/goals/etc deal with it.
I guess I really do not understand at all what you are asking other than you want to stick your hand in the kettle and not get burned.
What are your goals? You mention a 2on 4off cycle and then you mention TRT???

I have been researching these short cycles that Bill Roberts advocates as possible substitute for traditional TRT. I posted a thread on that topic here:http://www.T-Nation.com/readTopic.do?id=1544513
Got some good responses. The idea is simple- Roberts seems to say that a very quick cycle actually sensitizes the pituitary so that when AAS use is discontinued and the Hypothalmus begins releasing LHSH again the response of the pituitary is even greater than before AAS. Now if you go longer than 2 weeks the pituitary is suppressed. The net effect of this is that one can recover VERY quickly from a shorty cycle especially if one used clomid.
What does this have to do with TRT? Well if your Test is too low to cut fat, muscle up, stay up past the evening news, service your old lady in the manner to which she should be accustomed then it is obvious to see the advantages of juicing 2 weeks out of 6 and enjoying a further 2 weeks of above normal but endogenous Test levels.
That, Gentlemen IS TRT. And payed for at a much smaller cost than the traditional variety, which is total suppression of the HPTA.
Now I have dug through B Rob’s articles and found hints of this, but perhaps the best i have found is his reporting of “Jim’s” T levels taken during one of thses 6 week cycles. The AAS was week 1-2, recovery 3-4, off weeks 5-6. His 5th week T was higher than starting T!! That would seem to form the basis of his remarks that 2weeks od AAS actually sensitezes the Pituitary and activates the hypothalamus ( I confess to not understanding the latter since he also says that the Hyp is suppressed by the s weeks of AAS use).
I hope this explains why i am asking these questions. I am seriously considering one of these cycles to jumpstart my own pathetic endogenous production. I need to learn more about the various AAS available.
With all that said: why do some people avoid T Prop?
