[QUOTE="madman, post: 191358, member: 13851"] Would be a sensible move to try lowering your dose slightly than once blood levels stabilize give it some time. Regarding gaining muscle on trt doses (100-200mg/week) although having a healthy FT level will improve body composition (muscle gain/fat loss) when following a proper diet/training protocol it will be minor in terms of pure muscular gains (actin/myosin) when compared to using steroid doses (300-600 mg/week) of testosterone. Let alone genetics will have the final say and even then you will be lucky to gain 5-7 lbs of pure muscle tissue. You state you had been training since your early 20s and managed to get up to 185 lb natty by your late 20s and eventually dropped down to 158 lbs 5 years ago when you started experiencing low-tissues. Once you started trt you state that the gains were incredible but you need to keep in mind that at your peak natty after almost a decade of training under your belt you weighed 185 lb than eventually dropped down to 158 lbs (low-t) and a large percentage of your incredible gains would have been regained due to muscle memory. Sure when you started trt you were injecting 200 mg/week split daily or EOD which would have had your FT level absurdly high as you have low SHBG and looking over your most recent labs you can see that your FT is still on the high end using a much lower weekly dose of T 140 mg/week split daily. So most of your incredible gains were regained weight (muscle memory) plus the additional muscle you gained which would be in no way significant even from having a higher FT level using trt doses. Most claiming to gain 15-20 lbs on trt is not putting on pure muscle tissue (actin/myosin) as a large percentage will be water weight inside (intra-cellular) the muscle cell and between the muscle/skin (extra-cellular). As long as your FT levels are healthy and you are following a proper diet/training protocol then you will not lose any muscle. Even than with average FT levels as long as you are following a proper diet/training protocol you will not lose muscle. We are on trt here not using/abusing testosterone let alone packing on any significant amount of muscle. Too many get caught up in thinking trt doses are going to pack on muscle let alone have one's libido through the roof. [/QUOTE]
