That’s partly because 200 had been the standard for years.
Those piss poor 200mg/week protocols.....sure if you enjoy those big swings/extremes in peak--->trough let alone in many cases throwing in an AI to boot.
200 mg/week injected more frequently as in twice weekly (every 3.5 days), M/W/F, EOD let alone daily would be overkill for most.
Trough FT would be through the roof.
Sure some men may need such does to achieve what would be considered descent T levels but it is far from common.
Exogenous T doesn’t behave in exactly the same way naturally produced T does or have all the same responses or metabolites at the same rates
When using exogenous T many factors can come into play when it comes to what dose of T is needed to achieve a healthy FT level.
The dose T, SHBG level, injection frequency, metabolism, the sensitivity of the AR, polymorphism of the AR, and CAG repeat length (long/short), bodyweight.
Not so cut n dry!
though if your TT is over 9k or something crazy you’re going to have problems.
LMFAO.
So in other words running around with a TT 3000-5000 ng/dL is all fine and dandy!
Cycling, blasting/cruising testosterone/AAS running much lower T levels <9000ng/dL plays no part in maintaining long-term health.
