First off, trt is to have you in normal range, which will not build more muscle then a natural person in high normal range. Your test levels are beyond what is considered natural so if your not putting on muscle then your diet and training is to blame. If your looking to build muscle then go on a real cycle after you figure out the food and training. If your goal is trt then cut your dose down to 50mg 2x a week and see if that puts you in range. "Less then 1000ish" can you put up a pic of your bloodwork results?
You gotta be a poor metabolizer or whatever the word is. 200mg will have me around 1500 if I remember correctly. I think 140 has me around 1000
Agree with above. Reduce the dose. Check sensitive e2 and free T. 99.999999% sure your too high, NOT too low.
200mg puts me in the low 900’s, I think my Dr started me at 140mg and that only had my at 500-600. It’s funny how it effects ppl so different!
That range 100mg is giving you is exactly where i would want my test on a trt dose. That and have high free test and mid range estrogen
Where is free test and estrogen. If my total came back at 600 but free test was normal or high and estrogen was good I'd stick with the lower dose. Obviously I'm not a Dr. Just my 2 cents
Estro was in the low 20’s, I don’t exactly remember the free but I think it was high normal on the 200mg dose. It was a while ago, not doing TRT anymore.
Are you injecting just once a week And getting your blood test just before your next injection? I would think doing 100mg 2x a week would put you much higher.
If you inject 200 1x a week, 100 2x a week or 25mg 8x a week it's still 200 a week. Levels will stay more stable but not go higher
This isn't accurate. The body does weird stuff. On 200mg once weekly my levels are 800ish. On 20mg daily my levels are 830's and I don't need an AI with slightly higher free T. My free T is always high even with really low serum T levels. Some guys have seen their levels shoot to 3000's on daily injections using the same weekly total after switching to daily injects.
That's weird. I've done 1x a week up to eod and the peak does not change much at all. I've also had a few friends try daily injections for trt because of some interview they saw about someone praising it and it changed nothing for them. Not dissagreeing with you, I've just never seen it change anything when it comes to total t levels or free test
Awsome
Not awesome cause it just pushed back my cycle I was planning on running
That the thing, we all have enough variance in bodily functions that everyone has a different experience. For me, two injections was the same as one injection for serum T levels but daily made it shoot up.
Using 100mg/week. My results injecting 1 time a week would give me a level of 1100 2 days post injection and around 450 the day before the next one. Doing daily injections of the same amount I am in a constant range of around 830. If you inject once week and you levels are at the top of the range 6 days after injecting then there is an excellent chance that you were way over the top for most of the week which would add more E2 into your body most likely. But you need to get tested throughout your weekly cycle to see how things are.
While im aware that levels will flux more with a bigger gap between shots, it does not seem to effect the way I feel. I do just fine on 1 shot a week till I go over 300mg then I start doing 2 shots. If I go over 600mg I do it every third day. No scientific reason. It's just what I do and it works for me
