Test levels and benefits

Pumpiniron13 · Feb 20, 2018

I’m 50 and been on trt for 3 yrs. is there a benefit strength or muscle wise from a t level of 800 vs 1200? My last bloodwork was 1216 ng/dL and I feel great! There was no concerns on any other test. Thanks in advance!

For me higher levels have not helped in my strength or muscle gain. Higher testosterone levels, definitely has gave me more energy. With the extra energy it does help in my workouts.

What were your levels prior to initiating therapy? What is your protocol at the present time?

I've noticed that as I decrease T dosage, I see a decrease in muscle fullness/shape. While I appear to have lost muscle, I'm generally stronger in the gym, or at least do not fatigue as quickly. I believe this is due to being in a better state of homeostasis. My.02

I pin .7 ml twice a week of cyp @ 200mg/ml. . 5 anastrozole as needed.

What were your pre-TRT levels, total and free testosterone?

Pumpiniron13 · Feb 20, 2018

Pre treatment my t level was 197 and e2 was less than 20.

My TT pre TRT levels were sub 300 and they got as high 1400 during TRT and as low as 700. Small improvement in strength/muscle growth from pre TRT but zero difference between 700/1400. Fat loss improved more (but i am very lean anyways).
Like Vince said definitely improved energy levels.

I can confirm this but with me that extra energy for over the reference range lvls came with anxiety and bad sleep.
Also my libido went thru the roof. 3 hours after having sex with my wife I was super horny again. That may sound like fun....It was not.
Always thinking about sex takes much of the fun away.

The super high T lvl(for TRT not cycling) also did not help with my ED so you might want to stock up on cialis.
Horny and no stiffy is a new kind of hell on earth. haha

Hehehehe indeed! Libido for me is 100% correlated to my estradiol levels. TRT help me tremendously on both erection quality and libido.
