[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 217041, member: 38109"] You're giving them and many other testosterone prescribers too much credit. The standard pre-TRT blood work is not revealing the metabolic clearance rate of testosterone, which is what you need to predict a reasonable dose in advance. A protocol of 100 mg per week is likely to be a legacy of the original Depo-Testosterone protocol of one injection of 200 mg every two weeks. This protocol leads some to the incorrect conclusion that 100 mg per week is always appropriate, when in reality it is a high dose that's meant to compensate for infrequent injections. If you're injecting daily then you don't need to worry about serum levels falling too low a few days after each injection. Instead you can focus on what's likely to be physiological for you. We know that average testosterone production for healthy young men is around 6-7 mg daily. This corresponds to 9-10 mg testosterone cypionate daily, or 60-70 mg per week. [/QUOTE]
