[QUOTE="ERO, post: 63309, member: 1210"] Yes, if you take the ratio into consideration. The T:E: ratio is a rule of thumb, not an absolute, but the idea is that in young healthy men, the T:E: ratio is typically between 14 and 20, so for older guys on TRT it would make sense to try to fall into that same range. In the examples above, a Total T of 500 and an E2 of 46 is a ratio of 11, and a Total T of 1100 and an E2 of 46 is a ratio of 24. Also rules of thumb like this work best under the bell curve. There are always the odd outliers where it does not apply. Another way to visualize this is to imagine that I told you I weighed 200 pounds. Now, without knowing my height and body fat %, would that be considered fat, ideal, or anorexic? You would logically reply that just knowing my weight without knowing my ratio of height to weight or my ratio of lean mass to fat mass, you cannot say with any certainty, right? Its the same idea with the T:E: ratio - unless one knows the ration of T:E: they cannot just look at a fixed E2 # and say you are too high or too low. (Again, for expected ranges of both - this would not apply to extreme highs or extreme lows) [/QUOTE]
