you don’t stop TRT. it is for the rest of your life.

Are you on actually Dr. prescribed TRT because your natural T-levels tested low on 2 separate occasions, or are you just running 200 mgs of Test Cyp for fun? There’s a very large difference.
TRT means you never go off. That’s the whole point of TRT.

N legs on Wednesday too
… like I want to help, but theres so much wrong with this post that i don’t know where to start.
-Training looks like a bro split, but worse somehow.
-Virtually untrained and goes straight to ‘cycling’ TRT to get in shape.
-No labs prior to pinning someone else’s ‘Pharma’ grade Test.
-Likely has to Google what HPTA means and what exogenous Testosterone does to it.
Frankly I don’t even want to ask questions because I’m nervous what skeletons are in that closet.
I recommend stopping your testosterone and pursuing health and fitness in a way that doesn’t involve needles, pharmaceutical creams, or pills.

Running a TRT dose of test if not hypogonadal is a waste of time. If your T levels were normal, the TRT will shut down your production and just replace normal levels - a wash.
Say you were 600 level natty. Add Test and your normal production goes to zero and your TRT bumps you back to 600. No benefit.
If your natty level is below 300 (or so, read the lit) and you go on TRT, stay on it. If your levels were normal, get off and stay off.
What’s the difference
Difference is that you may have bigger natural production of test than you are getting now and therefore you are shutting down yourself for nothing…
