Welcome criggs....lots of solid info here with folks who truly care to help you on your journey.

Gene, Jay Cutler?

Guys, I'm curious on how many folks in the forums use the medication above as well as your dose and overall experience. Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks Gene. I'm switching a few things around in my routine to shock the body.

Nelson, You mentioned that you only use cables for chest exercises. Is this by choice or rather a result of an injury? Do you feel like your chest gets a complete workout? Thanks

Gene I asked that question and his answer was that we would increase the dose once again. i would expect another 30 mg increase...thats my guess anyway.

After Friday's doc visit, he was not willing to increase the dose right now. He is going to stick with 150mg for another 5 weeks and then retest. While I'm not happy, I'll just hold out and see what happens. From what I gather, Low T center is very strict on dose increases and follows a strict...

This a a great site Johnny....lots of solid info...soak it up.

ctstrength, Your now on twice per week shots correct? What dose? As far as HCG, check out Gene's recent post regarding why men should consider HCG alongside TRT. The best way to understand TRT is to read and educate yourself on sites such as this...become an expert on your T and investigate...

Guys, I'm going to bring this up on Friday at my visit. I may be wrong but I believe that various Low T clinics(to include my own) have a certain dose protocol that they follow which allows only a max dose increase. Have you heard of this?

Nelson, Yes...he takes blood every 5-6 weeks to gauge both free and total T. My insurance is very good but I have no loyalty to any doctor. I think I'll have a candid yet professional conversation with him on Friday.

Guys, After speaking with Gene, he thought it would be good for the benefit of the EXCELMALE community to discuss my situation in hopes that others may share their thoughts. My current protocol is 150mg Test C per week(started this dose last week). Protocol History: Booster dose 200mg-One...

Gene, What's the correlation between TRT and snoring? From your experience, what is the reasoning?

Guys, Recently my wife has complained about my snoring and stated that this didn't happen until I started TRT. While I understand that there is no concrete data to support the correlation, it is ironic that many guys on TRT develop this condition. Does anyone have feedback on this? Thanks LV

Nelson, I understand and share in the frustration. The doc is very willing to increase the dose but wants to do it slowly. To recap the last 3 months, my dose has moved from 100mg to 120mg to 140mg and now 150mg. I think I was successful in educating him on the 2 tests for Estradiol....he is...

Just left appt and doc agreed to bump me from 140mg per week to 150mg.

Nelson I agree with your opinion on the 200mg per week dose. Unfortunately, they typically only increase in increments of 20mg. I wish there was a way to convince the Doc to get to at least 175mg.....and I will hold off on an AI. Thank God for this site and all the data concerning E2 and the...

Here is the other data. After doing more research, I'm going to hold off on the AI. I have no side effects at this point so I'm holding off. Test 445(Not 450 as stated above) Range 350-758 Free 11.1 E2 46.9 Range 7.6-42.6 SHBG 17.4 Range 13.2-89.6 Hematocrit 45.6 Range 37.5-51.0

Guys Everything came back good with the exception of the E2 which was 46.9....this was not the ultra sensitive test...so I can assume that 46.9 is not 100% correct. I'm seeing the doc tomorrow to get the E2 under control. What is the general consensus on the best AI and dose? Thanks

Thanks Nelson. I'm grateful for your response.

Guys, Its allergy season and I currently take Allegra daily as well as an occasional medicine called Singulair. Does anyone have information as to how these medications may or may not affect my T levels? I found a few items on the site but curious on personal feedback as well. Thanks

Gene, I'm waiting on the detailed results from my latest labs but 6 weeks ago my E2 was 20.5.

Guys, Quick update...blood work taken today...I'll get the detailed results back in a few days but my Test and PSA was reported as follows: Test 450...interestingly...this was the same number as 6 weeks before....even adjusting the dose from 100 to 120mg per week. Free 11.5...this is up from...

Guys, I'm starting to notice as I work out that my chest seems like it's growing more on the bottom rather than the top...does that make sense? I started focusing more on incline as a result of this and switched my core chest exercises to incline first and flat thereafter. It always seems that...

Chris, Thanks for the reply. My baseline Estradiol is 20.5 with a range of 7.6-42.6 I'll be getting complete blood work done tomorrow am and in hopes to get my dose bumped up...I'm currently at 120mg per week.

Nelson,Gene,Chris and the rest. Thanks for taking the time to help your fellow brothers...great site. I've been on TRT for about 8 weeks. I started at 100 per week (Test C) and then after 6 weeks moved to 120 per week. After the 6 weeks, my blood was drawn and my Total Test had gone up from...
