[QUOTE="Phil Goodman, post: 279063, member: 42777"] I keep seeing people repeat “healthy young men produce this much….” but where is that number coming from? Also, in an unhealthy population…being average is much more likely to mean being unhealthy. For example based on height and weight, my daughter has always been underweight if you go by percentiles. But in reality, she is a healthy weight and we just have an exploding obesity problem in children and adults. At this rate, having blood sugar levels that indicate prediabetes will soon make you an average young person. That doesn’t mean anyone should aim for those blood sugar levels. Not the best analogy, but it gets the point across. Also, different people respond very differently to different doses of testosterone. Some people can take 100 mg/week and have total levels getting up close to 1,000 while someone else may take 100 mg/week and barely get into the 500s. So I don’t think people should be locked into “the healthy young person produces this per day so anything over that is supraphysiological”. I do agree with starting out lower rather than higher, but at the same time I don’t think people should be locked into thinking anything much higher than 100/week will be unhealthy. [/QUOTE]
