Hello Everyone,
1. For my whole life, my testosterone has been able 320 on the 300 - 1000 reference range.
Regular general practitioners have always said it is fine, since LH, etc. is normal
Many bodybuilders, wannabe doctors (chiropractors) and others have been alarmed at a man in his 20's having a number low. Yet, with anything they do, they almost always have incomplete expertise or a hidden agenda.
2. Can anyone explain what is happening?
Mentally, my energy levels have always been high. I rarely had "brain fog" etc.
When it comes to aggression, both physical and mental, I have always had a normal or even above average level.
I do require my 8-9 hours of sleep. For my Wall Street, etc. friends that seems like a high requirement, but I realize that is normal for a normal population.
I do have more trouble gaining muscle or losing fat than others. But, that is more genetic, diet, training, etc. than just a testosterone.
I have been prescribed steroids electively, such as low doses of TestoGel, Oxandrolone, Primobolan Depot. I do notice improved physical performance, but also more emotional lability, etc. Ironically, my results on testosterone have been milder than many anticipate.
3. Again, do we have any research? On the 300 - 1000 reference range, is something like 500 better, and 800 even better?
My guess is testosterone levels are over-rated. The press makes it sound like a mana from Heaven to gain muscle, lose fat, get strong, pure muscle. Yet, in reality it is one ingredient of many.
Yes, for those deficient in specifically testosterone, giving outside testosterone helps. But, for those who are normally healthy, more just causes side effects.

I think the balding, hair growth in diff places, oily skin etc. are more of a possible effects, when going out of the normal natural test level range with exogenous test. You could just aswell list general positive effects associated with testosterone, like being energized, having confidence, high libido etc..
