[QUOTE="madman, post: 184638, member: 13851"] This is [U]horrible advice[/U] as first off you have only been on trt for 6 weeks let alone have no idea where your TT/FT levels sit and if anything switching from 100 mg once weekly to 50 mg twice weekly (every 3.5 days) would be the smarter move before increasing your dose. Let alone going from 100 mg T once weekly--->200 mg/week T (100 mg every 3.5 days) is ridiculous, to say the least as that is a whopping dose of T. Most men on trt are injecting 100-150 mg/week using various injection protocols (once weekly, twice weekly, M/W/F, EOD or daily, and such doses of T would have most men's TT/FT levels well into a healthy range. Sure some are injecting higher weekly doses 150-200 mg/week but even than most would never need what would be considered the highest-end dose (200 mg/week) of T to achieve healthy TT/FT levels let alone experience the beneficial effects of trt. Some of those clinics we would refer to as T-mills and some of the numbskulls on the numerous forums/youtube are pushing the more T is better mentality. The best piece of advice that I will stand by is to [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][U]start low and go slow.[/U][/COLOR] If you eventually do need to increase your T dose to bring your TT/FT levels up in order to achieve a healthy FT level than going from 100 mg/week (50 mg every 3.5 days) to 120 mg/week (60 mg every 3.5 days) would be the smarter move. Trust me when I tell you that increasing your T dose by 20 mg/week will have a big impact on driving up your TT/FT/e2 levels let alone RBCs/hemoglobin/hematocrit! The more T is better mentality needs to die. [/QUOTE]
