This article will provide 3 powerful protocols using Testosterone E for “Testosterone Replacement Therapy”…which we will refer to as TRT for this article.
Some guys run these protocols continuously for years…while others cycle every 8 to 12 weeks.
Please note, the protocols below are ONLY for Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), if you are using other steroids to bulk or shred, the protocol and dosage will be different to maximize your results.
1. Traditional TRT Protocol (once per week)
This has been the gold standard protocol for TRT that has been used for decades. This protocol involves one intramuscular injection (IM), once per week, using Test E…200mg to 250mg per injection.
For more advice on how and where to do intramuscular injections, you can see our article here: https://thaianabolics.com/where-to-inject-anabolic-steroids/
2. Dr. Peter Attia TRT Protocol (twice per week)
Doing a deep dive into TRT protocols, you will come across Dr. Peter Attia who has been a guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast multiple times. He is a very well-known and respected doctor in the field of maximizing human performance and longevity.
When Dr. Attia looks at blood work, he is less interested in Total Testosterone. He is mostly focusing on the ratio of Free Testosterone vs Total Testosterone…with the goal being 2%
Dr. Attia’s general TRT Protocol:
Take 50mg of Testosterone E twice per week. He says the “plasma half life” of Testosterone is about 3.5 days.
Start at a low dosage of 50mg per injection. 100mg per week won’t give you any of the negative side effects like acne or gyno.
Do subcutaneous injections, not intramuscular injection,…using 5/8 inch to 1 inch (25 gauge needle).
*Test C can be substituted for Test E with this protocol
*If you choose to cycle your TRT, do 8 weeks on, and then take 8 weeks off using HCG if you’ve experienced tentacular atrophy
3. Every Other Day TRT Protocol
Another popular TRT protocol is taking a small dose of Test E every other day using an insulin pen.
Take a total of 120mg of Test E per week. Inject every other day using an insulin pen into the shallow intramuscular glute.
*Taking your testosterone on this schedule is said to keep your estrogen under control and you’ll have no need of any Aromatase Inhibitors (AI)
