TRT results for 2020

[buddy.l]

Here are my latest results I do SQ injections twice a week and it was a Wednesday that I had labs drawn and my last injection was on Sat so may be why the results are lower. But I feet good and I have made improvements BUN up due to creatine intake and increased exercise. I will cut my DHEA to every other day I feel good but looking to continue improvements

Why are you thinking about anavar?

 

[Bigmurph6]

Your testosterone level was at 155?

I might be reading it wrong but you should get on trt if your testosterone is out of range low

 

[BigDogg]

I would be more concerned with getting those test numbers up. 155 total test? If you feel good I guess that is good but that is low. Maybe you should inject more frequently. Even 4 days after injection that is too low.

 

[Andrew0409]

should get on trt if your testosterone is out of range low

He is already on it I believe. Maybe he needs a bit higher dose?

 

[Bigmurph6]

Oh I thought this was his original bloodwork to decide to get on trt and add some anavar.
I believe that he should stick with testosterone and just like you said bump it up a bit

 

[Andrew0409]

He says he feels fine. But I don’t see the point of doing TRT if i’m not around at 600 min.

I don’t see the point of var either. It’s so mild. I don’t think it will make any difference unless he run a high dose of 50mg+. But at that point, why keep the test so low?

 

[Bigmurph6]

I would believe that bringing the test levels up and then adding var isn’t bad and you shouldn’t need 50mg plus. 40-50mg is a good dose of var as long as it’s pure raws and dosed properly.
I like var because of the retention of gains but the cramps and other side effects make tbol better and you should only need 40mg of tbol as long as you get good orals.
Definitely need to bring up the test levels

 

[Andrew0409]

I’ve always found the sweet spot between 60-80mg. Yes it’s high but the strength gains felt like I was on tren without the sides.

I do however regret using that high of a dose. I loved var. I ran it too much for too long often. I think var is the reason my kidney was messed up and sent me to the hospital. I was dumb and didn’t consider that as my liver was fine from var.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Im glad to hear that your doing better but definitely oral AAS will definitely give you problems eventually. Depending upon the toxicity and dosage.

 

[Dirtnasty]

If I’m reading correctly his test is at 1100

 

[buddy.l]

That is the lab range

 

[buddy.l]

My last Total Test level was 585. I take 300 mg a week of test in 2 sub q shots in lower abd 150 mg each dose. My labs were drawn just before I was due for my next dose. I will check with my doc but sounds like 400 mg a week might work better. Not sure what others do but I am new to this anomy gains are slow and steady. A few more pounds of muscle sounds great too. Anyone deal with thyroid issues too with test.
Thanks for your support My Test is compounded by a pharmacy in sesame oil for subQ absorption

Thanks for the info Does this website has good info on tbol on learning where to start? For the work I am putting in at the gym I want the best for me at this time

 

[buddy.l]

Have developed good habits at the gym nd want to add on some muscle. Have the diet right

 

[BigDogg]

I would go with 100mg 3x/week to keep your levels more stable before I made any other changes. What ester test are you using?

 

[Stratfordave]

If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you. At your dosage, those test levels still seem low. My test typically range from 750-970 on my doc prescribed TRT protocol 250 mg per week test E from a compounding pharmacy.

Hi Yes the age! 63
Had a talk with my doc. My labs test was low because I should have had a draw at the peak of my dose uptake and not when I was due for another shot. I have a trainer that has excrcised my mind the most. I just started to squat 245 lbs 3 set x 8-10. So the is a big deal for me. I weigh 188 today and trying to gain to the mid 190’s. I bench 180 3 x 10. I am learning that working to failure is a good thing. I work full time as hospital nurse supervisor which means making sure the nurses do their best for our pts. This group is helping me do my best. So my goals is now to have bigger arms with good posture. I plan to continue with my sub Q injects on Sat and Wednesdays. I also need to increase my thyroid dose as i need replacements for that . If I can build my arms I will be like a 13 yearly that found a Charles Atlas advert. Thank you so much for your support. By the way I am so glad I found the joy of working out at my age.

 

[BigDogg]

I would still split your dose into 3 injections. You never want your test to be 155. Injecting 3 times a week will keep it close to an average level.
