[QUOTE="madman, post: 160331, member: 13851"] Highly doubtful! Sure at a TT 1200 ng/dL you would have a higher FT than with a TT 600 ng/dL.....but even than one needs to understand that on your average trt doses 100-150 mg/week.....muscle gains are going to be minimal as in many cases theses type of trt doses would result in T levels that are in the high normal (physiological range) or slightly above. Having healthy TT/FT resulting from trt will definitely have an impact on ones body composition changes (minor muscle gains/ enhanced fat loss) if diet/training are in check.....but even than gains in muscle/strength will be minor compared to when one uses steroid doses of T in the range of 300-600 mg/week which would result in very high supra-physiological levels. Even than gains in muscle/strength would be greater when T doses are on the higher end 500-600 mg/week. Anything above 600 mg/week would most likely result in less drastic gains as eventually negative effects will outweigh the positive effects. 1000 mg/week would seem to be a cut-off point as in many cases the only men using higher doses 1000-2000 mg/week would be amateur/professional bodybuilders and as we know they are already carrying a significant amount of muscle tissue compared to the average man. Also understand that although when one uses testosterone in high doses that even though muscle/strength gains are accelerated along with increased recovery as the body is in an anabolic state.....the body can still only build pure muscle tissue (actin/myosin) SO FAST even when in a chemically enhanced state! Let's top it all off with the fact that regardless of whether one is on trt and achieves a healthy TT/FT level or uses/abuses testosterone in high doses (steroids) for muscle/strength enhancement even when following the proper diet/training protocol.....drum roll.....ones GENETICS will always have the final say.
