3.5 Months on TRT – Feeling Like a New Man (Update + Dosage Question)

[IronWarrior]

Hi!

I am 53 years old and am currently on 200-250mg testosterone enanthate or cypionate (depends) weekly.

My hematocrit is at 57, hemoglobin at 18.50 (not very high) and creatinine at 1.41 (always high, I guess it's due to training).
Cholesterol is perfect, very low.

My energy is not very high, but I sleep very little. High libido.
I don't use undecanoate because some studies indicate that it has more adverse effects than other forms of testosterone.

Hi, how is my integration going in training at the moment? Is there a difference compared to before TRT?
Regards, Ironn

200/250mg of testosterone on TRT??? That will always have SIDES in the long term...

TRT is to raise your testosterone to normal levels... Between 70/100mg of testosterone enanthate or cypionate should be enough, with lab tests in hand to also determine the exotropic environment and so on...

It's not just about raising testosterone on TRT, but also normalizing the hormonal balance (estrogenic, androgenic/anabolic...). 250mg long-term can aromatize and raise estrogen, and that's not what we're looking for.

Your prostate or your heart will thank you for it...

When it comes to TRT dosage, I believe that everyone has to find the right amount for themselves.
Why? Because every person is an individual and reacts differently to certain things. Everyone processes things differently, e.g. digestion, liver function, kidney function, etc.
Who sets the guidelines? Think about it.
You can't trust all studies; sure, there are a few good ones, but very few .
Think for yourself, always critically, question everything, get to know your own body thoroughly and how it reacts to things, and set your own standards. Get your blood tested regularly and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
This is just my personal opinion and my experience over the last few decades.

Cuando se trata de la dosis de TRT, creo que cada uno debe encontrar la cantidad adecuada para sí mismo.
¿Por qué? Porque cada persona es única y reacciona de forma distinta a ciertas cosas. Cada persona procesa las cosas de forma distinta, por ejemplo, la digestión, la función hepática, la función renal, etc.
¿Quién establece las pautas? Piénsalo.
No se puede confiar en todos los estudios. Claro que hay algunos buenos, pero muy pocos .
Piensa por ti mismo, siempre de forma crítica, cuestiona todo, conoce a fondo tu cuerpo y cómo reacciona a las situaciones, y establece tus propios estándares. Hazte análisis de sangre con regularidad y mantén un estilo de vida saludable.
Esta es sólo mi opinión personal y mi experiencia durante las últimas décadas.

Indeed, regular blood tests are the only way to know your appropriate TRT dose.

But even so, TRT is about staying within optimal physiological ranges of 700/900 ng/dL. If you go above that, it's no longer TRT; it's doping aimed at muscle growth, and it's not sustainable in the long term. Are TRTs for life, maybe 30 years?

Unless, in fact, the person doesn't synthesize testosterone well, or has some other problem, or the continued use of certain antidepressants... Perhaps that justifies the 250 mg/week dose.

I've never seen a TRT with a 250 mg dose prescribed by specialized doctors. With 100/175 mg, they already put you in high physiological ranges.

But perhaps I'm out of date on this.

Tatsächlich sind regelmäßige Blutuntersuchungen die einzige Möglichkeit, Ihre geeignete TRT-Dosis zu ermitteln.



Dennoch geht es bei TRT darum, innerhalb optimaler physiologischer Bereiche von 700/900 ng/dl zu bleiben. Wenn man darüber hinausgeht, ist es keine TRT mehr; Es handelt sich um Doping, das auf Muskelwachstum abzielt und auf lange Sicht nicht nachhaltig ist. Sind TRTs auf Lebenszeit, vielleicht 30 Jahre?



Es sei denn, die Person synthetisiert Testosteron tatsächlich nicht gut oder hat ein anderes Problem oder die fortgesetzte Einnahme bestimmter Antidepressiva... Vielleicht rechtfertigt das die 250 mg/Woche Dosis.



Ich habe noch nie eine TRT mit einer 250 mg Dosis gesehen, die von spezialisierten Ärzten verschrieben wurde. Mit 100/175 mg bringen sie Sie bereits in hohe physiologische Bereiche.



Aber vielleicht bin ich diesbezüglich veraltet.

Many American doctors actually recommend a weekly dose of 200-250 mg.
According to them, the old guidelines are no longer applicable.
But I am always critical of this.
The question is, who determines the so-called physiological guidelines?
What is truly physiological? Is it what is tested in a test tube in a laboratory with many other chemicals?
Laboratory tests can only provide an approximation of what is truly happening in our bodies.
However, I agree with you that caution is the mother of wisdom.

American clinics are mostly private. Clients pay for prescriptions, doctors give what clients ask for .

Then the guidelines are 200 years of biological research, millions of individuals tested and a natural average established perhaps in relation to that...?

It wasn't a lab that once said that a man "must be like this". This is a statement of biological nature .

So what is true physiologically is Mother Nature who has the answer.


And for laboratory sample testing it doesn't matter that there are estimation errors. Do 3 tests in the same lab 2 hours apart and the results you get will be different. Because Everything fluctuates in the human body. Even the enhanced one. The result you have is a photo at that moment. Not the absolute truth.
