[QUOTE="jkp062814, post: 215629, member: 43365"] I just recently started "true" TRT (had been on very low-dose Clomid prescribed by my Endocrinologist for a few years to maintain fertility, but began Test Cyp. injections just last month since my wife and I are done having kids). I've always been able to maintain a fairly lean, muscular, athletic build (5'10" 175lbs - 33yo), even with very low T and Free T levels. I exercised regularly during those years and maintained a good diet, but my strength had noticeably declined along with increasing joint pain and less mobility. Of course also dealt with all of the other low T symptoms such as decreased libido, brain fog, fatigue, etc. You noted that doses over 125mg/wk are anabolic. This is not to say that somewhat lower doses couldn't result in improved body composition and strength gains, especially for those who had low T to begin with, correct? In my head, and again as a "newbie", I want to think that while I was able to maintain a relatively good physique while having low T but noticing less strength and poor mobility with added joint pain, that my body would welcome exogenous T with open arms after a stabilization period, wondering where this T has been all of these years and use it to possibly regain some of that strength I had lost. While my Dr had started me on just 50mg weekly injections last month, as he likes to start low and increase until finding the sweet spot, he just increased my dosage to 100mg weekly, which I'm splitting into two injections every 3.5 days. While everyone is different, could I still reasonably expect to see some increased strength and improved composition on just 100mg/wk? I just began this regimen this week, and understand there will be a stabilization period of 4-6 weeks where I may see some improvements, and likely several more weeks/months before seeing body composition and/or strength changes.
