[QUOTE="TheyCallMeTrinity, post: 186385, member: 2457"] I know several times (via labwork and shown via elevated libido, energy, endurance at gym, etc) over the years I was able to bump up my T pretty significantly WHILE ON TRT (including HCG) from 700 to 800 to over 1,000 (1089, 1155, 1313) making pretty strict lifestyle changes (I have been on the same TRT dose/protocol for years of 35-40ml T shots twice a week ad 250IU hcg three times a week). Your mileage may vary, but my lifestyle changes included: - [B]sleep[/B] - getting [B]QUALITY [/B]~8 hrs sleep nightly (doing whatever it takes - I did a sleep study and had mild sleep apnea caused primarily by my overbite (which was fixed by a [B]pricey custom-made [/B]dental appliance vs. CPAP machine) - [B]food[/B] - I traked my [B]caloric intake and macros[/B] for my body size & activity.
