I wake up with an erection at 3am every morning, rock hard.. Usually have to masturbate to get some sleep.. Would i be better off training at this testosterone peak at 3am or battling to get back to sleep and ignore it and continue to train around mid morning or evenings...
49 year old male on .3mls of test 250mg enanthate every 5 days to maintain Test levels..
Ive played with the dosage and this seems to be the best for my E2 and hemocrit levels to keep them manageable.
Whats peoples thoughts on this?

Try sleeping on your stomach or side.

Congrats.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
