[QUOTE="madman, post: 217623, member: 13851"] You are missing some critical blood markers such as free testosterone and SHBG. Although TT is important to know FT is what truly matters as it is the active unbound fraction of testosterone responsible for the positive effects. When was blood work done? When injecting twice-weekly (every 3.5 days) as an example Monday morning at 8 am and Thursday evening at 8 pm then blood work would be done the following Monday morning just before your next 8 am injection which would be roughly 84 hrs after your last injection (true trough). Although a TT 955 ng/dL is far from absurdly high you need to keep in mind that if this is at true trough (lowest point) then your peak TT, FT estradiol will be much higher seeing as you are injecting twice-weekly (every 3.5 days). Have no clue where your SHBG sits but it is a given that with a trough TT close to 1000 ng/dL your FT will be very high even if you have highish/high SHBG.
