[QUOTE="mairomaster, post: 188605, member: 40343"] That is a thing I've been thinking about recently. Obviously on TRT your body stops testosterone production almost entirely (unless you are on HCG) and entirely relies on the injected exogenous testosterone. We also know that the testosterone blood levels are proportional to the average injection dose. My question here is have you seen a study which examines the correlation between the weekly T dose and the corresponding T blood levels achieved? Obviously different people respond differently, but it will be interesting to see some sort of average results. A second question is - do you know what in the body actually makes the difference between different people? It's pretty common to see some significant differences between the people, even with people at similar weight I guess. So we might look at the dosage as mg per kg body weight per week, to eliminate the body weight factor. To give myself as an example (despite not quite relevant), I am on a 150 mg/week Test C and my blood levels user go between 1500 and 1600 ng/dL. That would be a factor of 10x (if such sort of made up ratio even exist, but let's use it as a simple example). My body weight is 97 kg (could round it up to 100 kg for simplicity if calculations are required). I am also on HCG, so technically my body may still be producing some endogenous testosterone, which should be around 250 ng/dL judging by my results before TRT. Overall I think I'm responding to the dose pretty well, meaning I manage to get to pretty high blood levels with not that high of a dose. I guess another question could be, what is the practical change if you are a better responder or not? Obviously you will need smaller doses to achieve the desired level, but does it have any other influence on anything? [/QUOTE]
