Low Testosterone - Shrinking Gyno - Reading Bloodwork - Bodybuilding Podcast ep. 78

So let's start with the first one, which is from Will.

Will asks, "Hey, Dan, you legend.

I'm 33 years old, 173 centimeters and 174 pounds.

Can you or do you recommend mixing testosterone enanthate? I am currently on a doctor-prescribed TRT dose of 100 mil-- 80 milligrams per week, hoping to get that to 200 milligrams per week." And the type of TRT he puts that he's using is Primoteston Depot.

So Primoteston Depot is a brand name of pharmaceutical-grade testosterone that is in Australia usually.

Uh, so Primoteston Depot is not to be confused with Primobolan Des- Depot because Primobolan Depot is methenolone, the Primobolan that you all think about, that hormone, and then Primoteston is just a brand name for testosterone enanthate sold in a certain area, Australia and thereabouts.

Um, so he says, "If I was thinking of doing a blast and getting my dose up to three to five hundred milligrams per week and use both the prescribed testosterone and add an additional enanthate source that wouldn't be as pure and maybe not pharmaceutical grade, would that be okay? Would there be any consequences?" Um, so getting his dose up to 500 milligrams per week by adding some UGL gear, underground lab gear, is what it sounds like he's saying, and yeah, I, I don't see a problem with that.

You know, you could, you could do the, your TRT dose Monday, and then you could do the other dose, which would be the UGL stuff, you could do that Thursday, and that would be like one milliliter two times per week to get 500 milligrams.

That's a good, that's a good amount to jump up to from where you're on now.

You say you're on 180 milligrams per week, and that's going good, and you're comfortable.

Jumping up to 500 milligrams per week, it may seem like a big jump just because it's, it's like dou- a little bit more than double, but you're already on a low amount, and so when you double it like that, it's just getting you up into that super physiological testosterone levels range, and that's the range where you start getting the effects that everybody wants to get in the gym.

Um, so going up to 500 milligrams and just doing one milliliter if, if they're both 250 milligrams per milliliter.

But there's no reason why you have to only use one brand of testosterone in a cycle.

I mean, you, you can add different types of testosterone too, uh, into one cycle.

Like you could take Test E on some days, and then you could take Sustanon on other days.

Um, or you could take like a base of testosterone enanthate or a base of testosterone cypionate and then use like te- shots of testosterone propionate on workout days.

Um, so he says, "What do you think about Primoteston Depot specifically for growth?" And so I, I think it's the same as any other, uh, high-quality testosterone.

Um, as, as far as the, the testosterone goes, if it's dosed correctly and it's not a testosterone that's causing a lot of post-injection pain or inflammation, um, and it's using good carrier oils so that it's not causing internal inflammation in your body and it's correctly dosed, then you're getting an equal effect from, uh, UGL gear to, or Primoteston or any other, any other form of testosterone enanthate.

It's like it's, it's a comparable, uh, it's a comparable product in that case, and the effects are gonna be very hard to distinguish.

So- What, what do I think about Primotes- Test Depo specifically? I think it's one of those high-quality testosterones.

Uh, high-quality testosterones, like I said, they, they can be from UGLs, but they, they can also be-- they're always from pharmaceutical grade.

All, all pharmaceutical-grade testosterone is-- goes into that high-quality testosterones category.

And then there are some UGLs that have, uh, that, that do high quality, uh, low toxicity gear.

But a lot of them are using oils or solvents or sterilants that may be inferior in quality to the pharmaceutical grade.

And it is a good-- it's a good thing to use pharmaceutical grade where you can.
