[QUOTE="lobsterman, post: 262284, member: 45836"] Hello, My first posting. 51 year old male 5'8" - 235lbs Powerlifter build, muscular but 27-30% body fat [B]Testosterone - Serum (Final) - Testosterone Result: 7.9 Reference Range: 5.2 - 23.7[/B] The lab did not define what these reference ranges measurements are? Please help. Can anyone tell me what this Reference Range: 5.2 - 23.7 means in nanograms per deciliter (ng/dl) or nanomoles per liter (nmol/L)? Last 5 years, lost strength, lost sex drive, prone to injuries, mental/physical fatigue, etc. Also, are my Testosterone levels low enough that a M.D. would consider looking at HRT?
