[QUOTE="HealthMan, post: 103649, member: 13512"] As long as you run labwork on a bunch of health parameters and they all come back “normal” it should be ok to push your FT higher way above lab ranges. Like you said you have to find a balance. What some people do they do the so called “blasts” while on TRT which are short cycles of supraphysiological testosterone levels. My whole point is just to send a message that achieving 50+ FT levels on TRT is most likely not safe/healthy for most people. And that to achieve improvement of low T symptoms a FT of 17.5-22.5 should be more than enough. However a bunch of guys on TRT are more interested in body composition than anything else and push for higher dosages trying to find excuses to have their doctors prescribe such dosages. And then have issues with HCT, estradiol, blood pressure, lipids etc (not saying that these issues only happen with high dosages but are much more frequent) I have been lifting weight for over 20 years and also had an interest in improving body composition. Before TRT my FT was below 10. And it has been as high as 37 and as low as 19 during TRT (measured on trough in a twice a week injection protocol). I can tell you that I haven’t noticed any difference at the gym or in body composition from 37 to 19 FT. Back in the day i did a few “cycles” using 500mg of testosterone a week and that yes had a huge impact on body composition. [/QUOTE]
