Male and 51. Typical Symptoms: lack of energy, very tired at end of day, just plain ole blahhhhh
Professional Career, high stress.
Typically to bed at 10:30 and up at 6:30 (when not working out) and 5:20 when working out.
Eating habits are very good, but not optimal: Low fat, healthy, plus no smoking or drinking.
175 lbs, 6'4" -- Yeah, probably would call me skinny. Body fat 11% and BMI 21.4
Oh yeah, not working out but active lifestyle
Test results
LDL- P 1222
LDL - C 154
HDL - C 63
Triglycerides 34
Cholesterol 224 ( high but see next two)
HDL - P 39.4
Small LDL-P 351
LDL Size 21.7
LP- IR Score (insulin resistance) 13
TSH 1.69
T3 Free 3.1
T4, Free (direct) 1.28
CBC, WBC 5.9
CBC, RBC 4.64
Testosterone, Serum 404
Free Testosterone (direct) 8.6
Estradial 14.7
PSA 0.4
IGF-1 227
C-reative Protein 0.21 (Yeah!)
Progesterone .3
Estrogens, total 56 (ideal I believe is around 20)
Thyriod Peroxidate <6
Result: Put on Cypoinate, .35ML per week (200mg/ML -- No cycling.) This results in 70MG per week and one Anastrozole 1 MG with each injection.
First couple of weeks sex drive up, energy levels up and I started working out. Now, 6 weeks in, I am back to tired and less energy. I do feel better than before starting the Cyp, but I would not say it is more than 15% better.
I have upped my protein intake considerably (ON Ultimate Whey), am taking a good multivitamin, and am being even more conscious about level of simple carbs.
I am now waiting on updated labs for Total T, Free T, Estradial, Estrogen and TSH. I suspect I need higher than 70 per week.
Now, finally, for the opinion part.
I assume since I am not cycling that my body's production of Test. is limited at best. I felt much better the first few weeks because I had not only my own Test production but also the injection, and now I am "living" with the injection only?
If my goal is to be healthy and to get from 175 pounds to 210 pounds with an 8-10% body fat, what Testosterone, Serum (now 404) levels should I be maintaining (in general terms)?
Thanks in advance for your advice and counsel on this topic. ANY advice is appreciated.
I hope this is posted to the correct forum.......
