The Upper Limit

[Clarence]

Considering all other labs are within an appropriate range, what is the upper limit for Total T before you cusp being on a cycle and could run into long term issues if you ride it to long?

The upper limit on tests is 1000
I use 175mg and it puts me in the 1200 range no issues. Most the time I'm on a low dose of anabolic as well. Everyone is different though.

Awesome. Yeah I'm riding between 1200-1400 and all my labs have been great over the last 6 months. 200mg a week no other anabolics.

Back when I started TRT the range was 300-1200, now I’ve seen it as low as 250-900. Wonder why the change. Personally I’m in the 1000-1200 range now with no health issues but am on the younger side. Anyone whose been on for 20, 30 plus years able to chime in?

Every lab has it's own range. The number really doesn't matter as proportionally you will ended up the same place from lab to lab.

I have been on Dr's prescribed TRT for over 20 years. My blood work is fine on the high end of true TRT. Cholesterol or blood pressure seems to change as the years and decades go by. But may not be from just TRT as age plays a part. what i cal true TRT is when i am in the normal range for the vast majority of the week.

Awesome replies. Thanks guys.

What guys don't understand is that they think they are "in range" at 800-1000 ng/dL, but most of the time these are their trough levels, so they are easily +1,500 for a significant portion of the week. This is why many get issues with HCT, and side effects.

Would you base your protocol off your sides or range? For instance if you can tolerate a higher range is that still ok for long term use?

Last bloods I was 1200 on my trough at 200 mg test c. Everything else was in range. My provider didn’t have a problem with it. That said, I consider my TRT a light cruise, and I’m fine with that.

Yes.
