That will get you into normal range but doesn't address what I brought up. I'm not a fan of the Anabolic doc O'conner but he brings this up about androgen system downgrade. One guy I do put some faith in is Rand McClain who also speaks to this and keeps guys a little higher based on clinical picture. BW is part fo the picture but not the whole story.
Then most doctors would be morons. We are far, far beyond the shots every two weeks protocol and it is reckless for them to play with our hormones that way. I would run far, far away from those doctors if they are still so far behind a proper protocol.
Androgen receptors actually upregulate with TRT. They do not function in the same way that receptors like dopamine or serotonin function (ie downregulate from usage of a dopamine drug like coke or adderall).
I've seen research that they up regulate with super physiological doses but not TRT. It may not just be receptors, I think most of us know that they do not down regulate. But I think most of us know through epperience that the longer a user uses the more it takes to get an effect. But what I was referring to was in older age. Androgens in the TRT range don't seem to give the same effect. AS I stated earlier on, look at what DR. Rand McClain has to say on this. Also Dr. O'Conner. Not crazy about the second guy but I think they re on the same page when it comes to downgrade.
Ah I see where you're going with that. I personally find that steroids pack a stronger punch the older I get....but maybe I just am becoming more sensitive to side effects and have less of a tolerance accepting them in my life. But perhaps as I push through my 40s this will change, who knows.
I didn't read through the whole article because I'm on a phone, but they are talking about true trt where your levels are in the regular physiologic range for a healthy Male, not bodybuilding doses. Once you start going supraphysiological then the story changes.
That's my point though...for those of us on trt, and as Nemsz was so politely pointing out, not BS TRT where we call low doses trt, then test can be beneficial for the heart. I base my amounts/wk on my blood levels (shooting for 900-1000), so dose can change with batch I am using or my processing of the compound.
Ok. I wasn't sure what your aim was. This is good to use TRT if you must. It is more healthy to have normal levels than it is to have levels way low. My total was around 45 or so and I felt like total shit. Some doctors need to read that article, some of them see legit TRT as being bad too.
