[QUOTE="madman, post: 98841, member: 13851"] Of course test is a hormone we all have and is essential to a mans physical/psychological health/well being but to say "test is JUST a hormone we all have" is simplistic, as with any hormone -TSH/estradiol/prolactin/cortisol to name a few as well as many others there is such a thing as EXCESS and the side effects that come along with it. You are right that people get too caught up on numbers but understand that the purpose of trt is physiological replacement of ones hormone to provide relief from low t symptoms and having ones levels in a healthy range whether mid/normal or high/normal of the physiological range is all that is required. Many men experience relief from having trough levels just above 500 ng/dl and others need to be in the upper end of the physiological range but I highly doubt anyone needs to be above the top end of the physiological range to improve low t symptoms otherwise there are some other issue causing them dysfunction-thyroid/adrenals/underlying health issue. Most healthy young males levels peak at 800-1000+ and that is short-lived due to the fluctuations of the natural circadian rhythm as levels decline in the late afternoon/evening. On average if you look at a 24hr cycle they are around 600 ng/dl. I am not denying that you feel your best at the levels you are running and that you will have any negative issues as you stated your blood markers are closely watched and in a healthy range. Sure there are men whom need 300 mg/week to reach those numbers but it is extremely rare. I have no issue with anyone who wants to run at higher levels as long as one is smart enough to stay on top of their blood work and make health their number one priority. What I have an issue with is testosterone levels beyond the physiological range are not needed to experience improvements in low t symptoms. You hear it all the time when people come on the forums "well if testosterone is a natural male hormone" than the more must be better mentality seems to be the norm. A majority of healthy young males function exceptionally well at 600-800 ng/dl so why would a grown man need to be much higher. My levels run at 1100 on average and I feel great...............sure I could more than likely try dropping down to 600-800 and may very well feel good but I would definitely not run higher levels than this nor would I inject more than 150 mg/week unless my sole purpose was to gain muscle/strength. To each his own but people need to understand that yes testosterone is essential but EXCESS is in no way needed! [/QUOTE]
