new to trt update.

Good Morning,
This is my second post. I'm 50yrs old male. 5'10" and now 216 lbs (started trt 210 mg of test cypionate 1x a week, 50 units of hcg 2x a wk and 1mg of anastrozole 1x a week. 4 weeks ago I started this at 200 lbs. just started feeling more aggressive in the gym and seems like I have a pump all the time. I eat clean but not a lot maybe 2000-2500 cals a day. I'm sure it can't be possible that I've gained 16 lbs of muscle in 4 weeks. I've been lifting very hard for years, the last few with nothing to show for it (low t). Is there anything I can do to drop what must be a lot of water. Just had a physical Blood Pressure still great. I feel great, just not liking the water. Please help.
Thank you

Great to see you here brother, a lot of great people here and great info. You are seeing some water weight, but it shouldn't' be that bad. The cypionate should be kicking in and your are going to feel unreal.

Plus I will see if I can find a good article on how to drop the unwanted water weight.

your cypionate should really start kicking in full throttle now at week 4! So if you think you feel good now just wait! Lol

and no you obviously didn't put on all muscle and it's a lot of water but so long as it's muscle hydration then that's great but if your spilling over already subcutaneously to the point you lost all definition and look overly bloated then just need to change your diet up and maybe add higher rep volume to your workouts . But no need to add more drugs to deal with your water retention !!

Thank you Presser. I'll add the higher rep work. I'm sorry to ask another question. My estradiol sensitive level was 14.0 on a scale of 7.6-42.6 prior to any trt. From what I've read here this is a low number. I have taken 1mg of anastrazol ? 1x per week since starting trt. Can low estradiol cause me to hold water, in your opinion should I even be taking it? I know everyone is different. I value your opinion.
Thanks

I use letro myself don't have experience with adex. But I know u should dose it 2 to 3 times a week. Divide dose up.
To stop aromatasing with trt dose it's not so much u have too much testosterone. It's more that u wanna mimic natural production at least by doing twice week injects instead of one. Monday is do half my dose and on Thursday I do other half. Then I take my letro split .33 mg on those same days.
U wanna give yourself a constant level without dips because estro will compensate to testosterone each time it goes up and down. Remember u controlling your testosterone so control rate it gets into system by keeping stable test c is best done 2 times week. Now estro will need control as well but each person varies.
Your estro before test replacement doesn't tell u or us much.

And no estro low with not much u hold water

I wanna definitely dose test cyp trt dose twice a week. I don't use hcg so don't know much about it but I have heard guys doing it in same pin with testosterone.

Your estro being low before trt was only a baseline at that amount of tt u had at your natural production output.
Now your total testosterone is higher from trt. 210mg is a good dose enough to see progress and fast. My trt dose is 100 mg. I rather 200 or 300 buthe dr won't and can't because my tt is 800-1000 at 100 mg per week and I get high red blood so dr gives me order to do phlebotomy at blood bank every 3 weeks I can go 5-6 at 100 per week but I still do more often on own.
Needless to say all that but wanted u to know I am experienced at all doses. Take half inject on Monday in your case 105 mg and on Thursday 105 mg. Take .5 mg adex on two days I use my letro on same days I inject. I have a natural low range of estrogen myself I was at 12 on estro sensitive lab tests before trt.

If this is your first time on, then it's likely it isn't all water. When I went on for the first time, I gained 30 lbs in 3 months, and it was definitely not water. That dosage wouldn't put a lot of water on either anyway, especially since you're also on anastrozole.
