Gear & high testosterone levels

eckstg · May 23, 2007

Just got results on blood taken on 4/9/07.

My free testosterone was 130.8 ng/dl compared to average range between 9-30 ng/dl.

My total testosterone was 3190 ng/dl compared to average range between 240-950 ng/dl.

I was happy with these results proving my stuff is legit but the thing is im not sure it should be that high on the low amount i was using at the time i had the blood drawn.Five weeks earlier to having blood drawn i was at a higher dose and was gonna break this down to see if yall would believe if the higher dose could have still been lingering or if really my lower dose couldve given me these results?

7th week before blood taken
2/26/07 250 mg deca / 250 mg test enan-British Dragon
2/28/07 250 mg deca / 250 mg test enan-British Dragon

6th week before
3/4/07 250 mg deca / 250 mg test enan-British Dragon
3/7/07 250 mg deca / 250 mg test enan-British Dragon

5th week before
3/12/07 250 mg test enan-GaLENIKA
3/15/07 250 mg test enan-GaLENIKA

4th week before
3/19/07 250 mg test enan-GaLENIKA
3/22/07 250 mg test enan-GaLENIKA

3rd week before
3/26/07 250 mg test enan-GaLENIKA
3/29/07 250 mg test enan-GaLENIKA

2nd week before
4/2/07 250 mg test enan-GaLENIKA
4/5/07 250 mg test enan-GaLENIKA

week had blood taken
4/9/07 250 mg test enan-GaLENIKA - Had blood taken same day

Could the weekly amount of 1000mg combined of deca & test enan i was on 6 weeks before have had a hand in results or would you believe the 500mg of just test enan gave me these results?

If the lower dose was giving me these results hell i wonder how damn high my levels was at the higher dose!Back about 3 months ago before i had my blood drawn and was checking around for info on test levels while on gear i got one response sayin his levels was over 5,000 during cycle.I guess the higher the better but i really don't know how much the levels make at damn at a certain higher level?

I'm getting good but slow steady gains but nothin like was i was hoping and guessing i was expecting to much to fast while on cycle and my body type must be a slow hard gainer.Anybody know where i can look to get information on bodytypes so possibly i can figure mine out better to get quicker results?

Testosterone can have a cumulative buildup, resulting in high levels. If you take 250mg one week, it will stay in your system, so when you take 250mg the following week, you actually have more than 250mg because of the previous injection.
To a certain extent, It can build up and stay in your body for quite a while. I would say test left over from several prior weeks could be responsible for those high levels.

Well ,if you are taking 3x the amout the body could produce and the blood test shows about 3x the natural upper limit whats the problem?You are taking your next dose before the last one has worn off ,causing buildup.Also ,you are assuming that you are really getting the same amount every dose(actual mg could vary).

Could you explain to me how i can calculate if my doseage is inline with my testosterone levels so maybe next time in future i can possibly guess where it should be if i have a lower or higher dose at the time i have blood work done?This way after i get my test results in i'll know if its inline or not.

In clinical therapy, they adminster 150mgs of Test-E/week for someone who is undergoing andropause, with free test levels way below average. This dosage is considered normal and is supposed to raise your test levels to your peak years. For bodybuilding, the guideline is to stay above 200mgs/week and within 500mgs/week, unless you're competing and are not taking agents like Dbol which also increase your test levels.

If your range is fine and your test results are off, you should evaluate extraneous factors like when you took your last test shot. You are required to not take a shot at least 6 hours before your lab test.

When I was on 500mg test E and 400mg EQ, mine came back around 3,100 and this was taken about 8weeks into cycle. Recently I was on 1g test prop and 600mg NPP and had test taken 48hrs after the test/npp shot and total test was 2,822. I presume this is due to unstable levels from fast acting esters. Prop/npp has a half life of 72hrs, so I was pretty much getting tested when more than half of it was out of my system. I may get another test around 12hrs after the shot. Im presuming levels would be around 4,000 then.
