[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 204241, member: 38109"] For perspective, 60-70 mg per week of testosterone cypionate is averaging 6-7 mg of testosterone per day. This in turn matches the average daily natural production of men in their prime. I take the equivalent of 44 mg testosterone cypionate per week. A guy over at PeakTestosterone says he's averaging 36 mg per week. You shouldn't feel pressure to use higher doses. The idea is to find the dose that works best overall, which means no symptoms of low T and no side effects such as excessive estradiol or elevated hemoglobin/hematocrit. If you do end up needing more then it's easier to raise the dose than to lower it. If your free testosterone test is correct then you have a lot of leeway for a dose decrease. I'd try a modest decrease, going down to 60-65 mg per week. Then after a few months assess how you feel and get lab work to see if free testosterone has gone down roughly in proportion to the dose reduction. Ideally you'd also measure total T, estradiol and SHBG. In this way you can compare the calculated free T values to what you've measured and get a better sense of the accuracy of the various numbers.
