[QUOTE="Cyclingislife, post: 271304, member: 42611"] Kashman, I can relate to your situation, I have low shbg too. And, when I first started trt my doctor didn’t know what the hell he was doing and had me on one 120mg. shot a week! Felt like crap, went on and off for year, gave up & I just figured trt didn’t work for me. Then I did my homework & figured out low SHBG was my issue. It means you essentially piss out most of the testosterone you inject, it passes quickly through your system. That’s why it doesn’t work for low shbg guys. I also had a virtual consult with one of the best trt doctors in the country. Best advice I ever got from him was to keep a daily diary of your protocol & most importantly document “how you feel” (energy, sex drive, well being) and experiment with dose and injection timing based solely 100% on how you feel.
