[QUOTE="madman, post: 193064, member: 13851"] [B]subcutaneous injections and inject at least once a week if not twice a week.[/B] [B]Of course doses very by individual but I would aim for a testosterone trough level at least midrange if not upper range. I would suggest that the dose range to get you there would be something like 100-200mg[/B] Although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive effects. One should be more concerned with where their FT level truly sits on such protocol (dose T/injection frequency). In order for such, they would need to have it tested using the most accurate assays such as the gold standard Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration. A FT 16-31 would be considered healthy. Most men will do well with FT in the 20-30 ng/dl range and many tend to aim for the higher end. Comes down to the individual as some may run slightly higher levels whereas others may do better running lower levels. Most men on trt are injecting anywhere from 100-200 mg/week and even then many would never need the higher end dosed (200 mg/week) to achieve a healthy FT level. Too many are over medicated and running much higher levels than they think/need due use of relying on inaccurate testing methods/assays. Also need to keep in mind that trying to hit an upper range true trough on once-weekly injections would be misleading/overkill as peak levels (8-12 hrs) post-injection let alone during the first few days would be through the roof. Even on the twice-weekly protocol running a true trough on the higher end would have peak levels much higher. When it comes to peak/trough levels injection frequency needs to be kept in mind! The most sensible piece of advice would be to start low (100 mg/week) and go slow. [/QUOTE]
