Curious. I read shelby takes 200-250 a week and only gets him to 800 or so

When I got on HRT 10 years ago..150mg put me at 28(1100 or so us nmol/l)
Just recently it came back at 14.6ng. I'm guessing 600 or so
What would cause this... The body needing more as I age ? Or did "blasting" lower me more?
Curious if any theories. Also. I'm pretty sure I got drawn correctly. Maybe it was 8 days post injection not 7? In any event..

This is interesting to me as well would like to hear some input from a few vets, another thing to consider is the source of your gear the same as before?
 
I think everyone's body is different, obviously lol
Where 200mg gets one guy, the next will need 300mg.
Same can go for estrogen related things, MentalFlex has to take a higher dose of Arimidex than the average person, but it keeps him in range, his is rx so it's legit

Are you only doing 1 shot a week? If you are waiting 7 days post inject(ie day you are going to inject again) that is too long. That is the "trough".
 
i wondered this exact same thing! when i got on script, 200 put me at 1700 or so. basically i'd get 8.5 "points" per milligram. 5 days after my shot. that was 6 years ago or so.
then this past year i was on 500 a week and my levels were only 1500 or so.
i wondered, what's up?
then i tried another source, biotech to be exact on the gear, and my levels were right back to where they should be. for me it was just badly underdosed gear.
now i have insurance again, i may go back on script.

Normally do two shots. But for purposes of retesting. I've always timed it to be 6-7 days post shot
No sense, say shooting 100. Two days later get tested at 2000 or something and get cut off. Make sense?
Hell. They write the script for 1 shot every two weeks

I'd say that's the answer there^ I'd expect about that result 6-7 days post inject, especially shooting only 75mg 6 days prior...

Have you always done 2 shots @ 75mg...If yes, that dropoff is strange!

If you are or were using AI's (and gear does it too) more aromatase activity is also possible. How's your E2?

Testing times will change based on 1 or 2 shots a week, but if you took 75mg(half of your weekly dose) Monday, and tested tue/wed you should be within range.

Basically the way you are testing now, you are testing to show your absolute lowest weekly test level. If you were to test Thur/Fri, after a 150mg, Monday shot you would have an idea of what mid week levels were. Different Dr's feel differently about this. Some test the "trough" as you are, and some would prefer to see what mid-week numbers look like.

Honestly it isn't a huge deal one way or another, but my point is if your testing day was different initially, it would effect the outcome. Can you really remember when your blood was drawn in relation to your shot, 10 years ago?

Currently my natty levels are 209 last blood result from my doc. 3 years ago it was 454 natty. 250mg of test once a week put me over 1500. Need to get on the TRT train and remember what 800+ feels like again ha ha!
 
You need to make sure you compare your before/after levels with all variables remaining the same.

Example:

-Take 200mg for 3 weeks.First shot is Monday. Check on Monday of the 4th week.

Unless it was the same time period and you checked the same # of the days post-injection, it's not exactly accurate.

Oh and as some people wrote earlier( this is a tangent from the thread topic),different people need different MG of testosterone to reach "x" level.
I know people that hit 900 on 150mg pharmacy grade. I only get to 600 on 150mg. My prescribed TRT has me at 800-900 using 200mg. This is one of the reasons(not the only one...) you'll see some doctors put different people on 100mg,150mg,200mg,or even 250mg per week.

YA I get that. And like U said. Doesn't really matter one way or another lol
Let's pretend I did the things the exact same. Is there a reason it would drop.
Just bored. Doesn't matter. Bumping to 200. See how I feel
Been 5+ plus months off blast. Trigger finger itchy:)

Did you guys know that the Watson brand testosterone cypionate is manufactured in Portugal for the last year or so.So the quality might be good sometimes not so good other times.

I am on 10mg every day (age 62) which kips me over 900.
 
Is there s sweet spot for felling good and making gains? Seems like most want to be at least 800, but is there a max?
