Thanks for the replies. I don't recollect any discussion regarding pulsing to the 400mg to 600mg range. I was wondering if it was more along Taeian Clark's recommendation of 10% to 20% above therapeutic TRT dosage.

Nelson - Am I mistaken or was there a study regarding the prostate benefits associated with occasionally pulsing testosterone above baseline TRT dosage?

I find Taeian Clark's theory of Nandrolone only for six weeks on and five weeks off interesting in that he says androgen receptor down regulation begins after week six. Then take off five weeks and repeat. He also recommends occasionally bumping TRT. For example, bump 100mg/wk to 125mg or 150mg...

deleted, wrong thread

Old thread ... Any update on the color improvement?

LabCorp uses immunoassay so that will be a problem with my Uro's results. If I stop the 50 mg/week Nandrolone for a month before my labs, will that give enough time to normalize the panel? I know the ester is long lasting.

Does Nandrolone increase total testosterone. For instance, if at 100mg/week T Cypionate my total T is 1,000 ngdL and I add 50mg/week Nandrolone will my total T increase above 1,000 ngdL?

Ok, thank you for this but, are you saying not to use the Fin with Test/Nandrolone?

Man, my head hurts from reading this post in an effort to decide whether to use Nandrolone. So many of the posts and videos warn about lipids and left vent heart issues yet I'm assuming it's due to usage in the average 400mg range (only because most of the resources I'm reading come from...

Interesting, thank you for this. I started TRT at 50 yrs with a Urologist at 100mg T/wk. My PSA was .9 ng/ml while on finasteride. In three years, I had one PSA reading bounce up to 1.4 ng/ml but all the other 6 month readings have been either 1.1 or 1.2 ng/ml. My digital exams have been...

It took me a couple weeks posting questions in forums to assemble a list of Urologists who Rx'd TRT. I took a chance with one who I researched had participated on a TRT conference panel. My labs at 50 yo came back just under 400 but I ran through my symptoms and he offered me clomid, pellets or...

Well put, and thank you. My Uro has not recommended I stop finasteride. We compare my panels every 6 mos and the PSA has been consistent.

Great point regarding my own labs. I've asked him before about testing at trough instead and adding Free and SHBG he's set on Peak T/Total T/PSA/Estradiol/Hematocrit and others. My trouble is finding another Dr in MD that's worth the headache of the search. Getting my own labs may help if I need...

Thanks. Yes, I'm not thrilled with the Uro's testing protocol. He orders labs 48hrs after most recent injection and does not order Free T or SHBG. He's concerned (as am I) with PSA because of family prostate issues, mine is .9. If I dial back to 85mg/wk, how long before I judge impact?

Quick 2.5yr update: I'm 52y/o 5'10" 175lbs and have been lifting weights for max strength 4 days per week since beginning TRT (very little cardio). My drive, confidence, well being, mood, morning wood/performance have all greatly improved and I consider TRT a great success. Libido is improved...
