Hey Dylan,
I'm from Belgium, 23 years old male, 112 kg fasted (247 pounds), 6ft3, 17 %bf. Used to bulk around 14% and could keep it around that, but despite having very clean diet and going up in small increments of 100 kcal I gained a lot of fat due to my testosterone dropping (it was 388 and still going down) and prolactin rising a bit above normal (and no I never used anabolics before, I've also never drank alcohol smoked cigarettes or took party drugs... and lived my whole life very healthy doing lots of cardio and recently started going to the gym since 2 years.
First I started with 1 tube of Testim gel every day (which is the only thing I can legally purchase in my country). Did this for 1.5 months and started feeling a little better, didn't do much for libido but strength went up in the gym (from 6 reps with 95kg bench press to 10 reps) but was very expensive and a pain in the ass to rub the gel every day. So I went to an hrt hormone clinic from Thierry Hertoghe in Brussels who is quite famous across the globe... They tested me and prescribed me 1 vial of sustanon 250 and told me to inject 3/4 of it every week. Also gave me arimidex 1/4 pill eod. (My estrogen was slightly too high on the gel). I asked him for aromasinb, but he gave this instead and said it worked just as well. My prolactin was normal this time around... They also told me to take dhea 30mg each day and pregnenolone 50mg each day, hydrocortisone 20mg each day to raise cortisol and to take erfa thyroid 60mg per day.
1) My thyroid levels seem pretty normal to me on the blood test, on the 24hr urine test it was slightly too low but very minimal... Anyways I'm gonna have to bail out on the thyroid cause it's way too expensive for me (I litterally can't pay for it, it would be €150 each month) Euros are about the same value as us dollars they don't differ much.
2)The hydrocortisone (which is not that expensive here) I took 3 days but then stopped, because I read that it's catabolic. Same story as with the thyroid, cortisol was a bit too low but only slightly, nothing major...). What's your opinion on this as being catabolic? Could you still build the same amount of muscle while on this dose?
3)The dhea and pregnenolone aren't that expensive and I think it can't hurt taking them? Would I still take these on cycle if I were to do a cycle in the future?
The sust isn't expensive so I'm happy about that, I might up that to 250mg/week for a 2 month beginner cycle in the future.
4)He could give me deca as well, but only 25mg/ml 1 shot every 2 weeks, so I asked it anyways and bought it (it was quite expensive). Maybe he can double the dose next time I go in a few months, but that would still not be enough to save up for 1 cycle a year with deca (200mg/week). Would it be good to take this low dose of 25mg/2weeks while on my trt regiment or would it be a waste of money or harmful in the long term? Maybe it's good for joints? A little extra stength? He did not give me any caber...
5) Next time I visit him for a check up he could also give me some hgh (my levels were in the normal range), but only 0.3 iu (0.1 mg) per day. That would still not be enough to save up for a cycle of 4 iu/day for a few months... Does that small of a dose even have an effect (0.3 iu)? Or would it be money thrown away? Would my natty hgh levels be shut down or slightly suppresed at this low of a dose?
This morning was my first shot of sust, I'm gonna wait a little to add the deca to see how the sust works first. I've also been taking the arimidex and dhea since a couple of days before, the pregnenolone I'll probably have next week, so I'll start that right away. My goal right now is to eat at a slight caloric deficit, keep training hard, do cardio and cut. I want to be 10 - 12% bf before I do a cycle.
I watched a lot of your vids and really respect your opinion and knowledge. I know your one of the only trt experts on youtube, so please help! Could you give me an answer on these 5 topics? btw what's your trt/ hrt regiment? I know you take 150mg test/ week but are there any other things you take with it?
