I think it is shameful in this country and in other countries that a man can't go in and get a doctor to write him trt but a woman who wants to be a man can get them to write her competition bodybuilder doses. Very thankful for the anabolic doc any information I get here. Thankful for the brotherhood and camaraderie of supportive men who are trying to stay healthy with trt and enhanced trt.
My doctor gives me scripts of Primoteston,'' Test enanthate 250 mg per hit, 3 hits in one box''. Supplies ran out for about 6 months, because there were so many Women wanting to be men. So, people that really needed it, it was not available. So, I had to use the much more expensive Sustanon in Australia.
Uh. Why can't men go get a trt prescription? I had no problem. Honestly I don't know any women on test so I can't comment on the process for them. Do you or are you just making assumptions?
A very healthy man may put out 10mg/day of testosterone naturally. Injectable testosterone (enanthate, cypionate) are actually only about 70% testosterone (the rest is the ester that provides the time release effect). That means that 100mg/wk would provide an average of 10mg/day of active drug and hence would equate to the high end of the normal male testosterone production. The current consensus seems to be that exogenous testosterone and naturally produced testosterone are metabolized a little differently and not equal mg for mg in the body, with injectable testosterone needing to be administered at a somewhat higher dose in order to reach proper therapeutic levels. This means that TRT dosages should start at 100mg a week of injectable testosterone . The high end of responsible use would probably be 200mg/week. This is indicated in the literature when these drugs were developed and also corresponds well with the experience of many men on TRT. 100mg a week of injectable testosterone enanthate or cypionate is a great starting point. Sustanon does not spread out the release of test over time as well as claimed). Creams and patches cost way more and may not get you all the way there. Pellets leave scar tissue. Aveed (test undecanoate) would be ideal at a one month shot interval, but in the U.S. is given once every 3 months by physician only. This will leave with with low T levels for 2/3s of the time. Also, there is no safe, effective oral testosterone. Learn to pin yourself, you'll get used to it. Inject into your upper, outer glutes. Use an 18 gauge to draw and switch tips to a 25g 1'' to inject. Push in very slowly to avoid soreness. You could inject small doses every other day, but this a lot of work, wastes too much drug in the needle tip and the even levels of T are boring. You could also inject as far apart as 14 days for convenience. You will be low in the last few days and you may get a headache the next day after injecting as your levels skyrocket. The ideal is probably once a week, easy to manage with a nice little spike of testosterone. It feels good when your levels are rising and a spike in T boosts muscle growth. The genes that control muscle growth are more effectively switched on by high peak levels rather than more even levels of T. You need to check your T levels at peak (2 days after injection) and trough (right before your next injection). Peak levels of 1,000 to 1,200 would be normal, tell your doc to chill. Trough levels should remain above 500. Average the two values. If you are young, your average value should be on the upper end of the normal range. As you age, a more average level would be more appropriate. It's hard to give cut and dry numbers because we differ in our physiology. If your T levels are good you should have a satisfactory sex drive, you should get morning wood at least sometimes, and you should feel a smooth unshakable confidence. You're not aggressive, it's just that nothing can touch you, you can handle whatever comes. If you are low, you may be irritable or even depressed. You may have trouble maintaining erections and in general feel kind of stuck. And of course you may suffer from long term health problems like diabetes and dementia. If you are too high you may get water retention (bloated face), and high bp. This is caused by excessive conversion to estrogen. If you feel the need for an aromatase inhibitor, you are taking too much T. Avoid AI's at all costs, they cause micro-lesions in your arteries that can turn into serious problems. Estrogen is actually your friend, it is what causes the improvement in your mood and believe it or not, increases your sexual desire. Male=testosterone, female=estrogen is outdated thinking. Both hormones play an important role in healthy individuals of either sex. One side effect that may occur even with proper dosages is an increase in hematocrit. It will improve your athletic performance up to about 51%. After that your blood will start getting sludgy and decrease cardio respiratory efficiency. You will be at higher risk of blood clots. If you are over 51% save a life and donate some blood. The life saved could be yours. If you have low T, it is better to fix it earlier in life rather than later. Men who go a long time with low T are more likely to suffer from blood clots and other troubles when they finally get on TRT. If you have a moderate case of low T, you may be able to fix it by working out. Losing fat will increase your T levels. You may want to give this approach serious effort because once you go on TRT, it is generally for life. But if diet and exercise prove insufficient, find a doctor who understands the risks of low T and will help you and monitor your treatment. Life is too short to not be the warrior, hunter, builder, protector and the sauve sex machine you are meant to be. If you are suffering don't take no for an answer, take TESTOSTERONE!
Steroids greatly boosted my fitness progress, enabling me to surpass previous milestones and achieve results more quickly. Their effectiveness depends on incorporating them wisely within a carefully designed regimen that prioritizes both growth and well-being.
Test Enan is commonly used in hormone replacement therapy to address low testosterone levels, promoting muscle growth and improving overall well-being. Tren, on the other hand, greatly enhances muscle size and strength. Speeds up recovery from injuries as well.
Totally agree. Steroids helped me recover faster and maintain muscle mass, especially during intense training or after injury. It's amazing how they can support bone health as well, which is crucial for people with conditions like osteoporosis.
There’s no doubt to the benefits of steroids. Honestly, it has greatly impacted my life. It played a major role in achieving my desired physique. People should learn not to abuse these substances and act like they are all bad.
Hey everyone, I’m looking for reliable sources for both steroids and protein supplements. I know it’s crucial to be cautious with these, especially with steroids, so I want to make sure I’m getting them from trustworthy sources. For protein supplements, I’m also interested in recommendations for reputable brands. Any suggestions or advice on where to find safe and high quality options?
6 years at 200mg per week keeps me at 700-800ng at the age of 40. No estrogenic problems that I am aware of. Lipids are in acceptable range. Gained 40lbs of muscle and absolutely changed my life for the better in every way.
@Jason Jones all the more reason to get on some testosterone- seriously though, get some basic labs and find out where your testosterone and estrogen levels are and go from there. It's really not that complicated. You just need to find what is best for your goals. I didn't find out until I was 34. Never too late.
I been running test c 150-200 a week for 2 years now... I absolutely love it.. I feel amazing... blood work is actually better now then it was 2 years ago.. I would Recommend TRT to anyone over 40 or even over 36
@@austinludwick9976 Test E and C are pretty similar in Ester length (both being lomger) I use to like the boost that Prop would give on the shorter Ester but long term I like the longer esters... feels more consistent to me no highs and lows just a nice even stream
Yo! Was 320 at age 32. Started on 100mg cypionate per week and got to 550. Blood work is fine, my doc said, we can double it and see where I am in a month. So, now I do 100mg twice per week. I feel so much better, it's nuts!!! But.. It's so important to find a GOOD doctor. Good video
I’m 52 years old. My testosterone was at 104. My doctor started me on 200mg of test cyp a week. After about 4 weeks I Had bloodwork done right before they gave me a shot My testosterone was at 922. So I’m probably over a thousand for a couple of days after my shot. I feel great so far. Glad I’m trying trt.
I forgot that I was taking 200mg every 2 weeks for a couple of months. Then I started taking 200 a week. Now I’m taking 150 a week. I think 200 a week was too much for me.
yeah, I was gonna say 200mg/weekly on the first month would have thrown those hematocrits levels to another planet, causing you to experience faitgue, hypertension and overall tireness. 150mg a week is more than enough! youll keep and develop a significant amount of muscle on that.@@kirksears6541
If I may share my experience to testify that more isn't necessarily better on the long term, I started my TRT with testosterone enanthate at 75 mg every 4 days (roughly 130 mg x week) and had to take anastrozole to keep the estrogen at bay. It was just a fraction of a pill every other day, but it still affected my lipid profile in a couple years. Not to a dangerously preoccupying level yet, but it did. So I dialed the dose of testosterone a little bit, 50 mg every 4 days instead of 75 (so 90 mg every week) and, surprise surprise, not only my blood profile has improved and now I have normal estradiol levels too without the need of an additional drug, I actually feel better: no significant muscle loss, libido in check, less acne on my shoulders and even less anxiety. It's hard to believe for us coming from the bodybuilding crowd, but you can feel good at a surprisingly low dose of testosterone. As the doc says, you should try to find the minimum required for the desired effect. It's gonna save you from a lot of worries down the road.
Yeah what was your free test levels like, at 50mg a week you would habe to be a hyper responder to get back up into the normal range for trt 600-800 ng/dc...at this point your better off getting off the t and starting hcg to kick your balls back in, the just stay on hcg which is safer.
I'm 62, they just started me on 200mg a week. First 2 months my sex and libido was through the roof, now 4 months in it's worse than when I started. Wondering if I'm on too much? With that said, my gym workouts are no longer a chore and I look almost as good as my younger armature bodybuilding days...wtf?
Im a physician. I love this info since it matches my feel and previous knowledge. Only point he did mention but did not stress enough is the cardiac muscle remodeling: You might feel great, your labs can be awesome but there are non measurable changes that test can do, changing the structure of the cardiac muscle is one. In simple words this means that muscle fibers in the heart can be altered (because of too much hormonal stimulation) therefore resulting in less organized and less efficient fibers which can lead to an inefficient pumping heart after many years (decades probably) and end up as chronic heart failure. My point is, do take that “take the least amount necessary” in consideration, as well as don’t take test if you dont need it.. if you feel insecure or depressed a therapist can do a way better job. The easy way might cost you in the long run if you over do it. Im 40, I have taken test cycles, I know it feels amazing, Just be mindful of these points. The body is like a fine clockwork machine, if you change something it can have consequences in other different parts.
470mg a week of Sustanon, 700mg Primobolan a week, 260mg NPP a week. I’ve found with the Testosterone to Primobolan ratio I really don’t need an AI because the primo is presumably competing (and mostly winning) to bind with the aromatase preventing testosterone binding with aromatase.
I been on 100mg of test for 3 years now. I used to be depressed, Chubby, Bad sex drive. Now 3 years later, My blood works amazing. I do have abs. Energetic, And sex is amazing!!

Thank you for keeping us safe, it has been a blessing finding true science you provide. Personally I feel 100-150mg/sometimes 200mg is perfect and anything over is overkill. You don't want to be unhealthy on the inside just to be jacked on the outside. Thank you so much for time and intention to give advice to thousands of souls that you are going to prevent from going the wrong bro science route, and generously provide your fellow brothers in iron with facts to keep us safe, Much love doc!
The safest dose is one that makes you feel good and normal without having to add an AI. If you have to add an AI then you are taking to much test for your body to handle. That comes directly from my endocrinologist who has over 30 years experience with TRT.
I've been on trt for 5 years. It's changed my life for the better by far. Enough to where I got back into competing. 250mg prop a week. My blood work is stellar. Cypionate and enanthate had me holding water and my doctor and I found success in propionate daily or EOD.
THIS is how actual doctors should speak about medical stuff. Really good stuff, great explaining. I am 32 and on 100mg of cypionate per week. Feeling awesome
Being on trt for years now. Every guy is different, it’s trial and error of finding the ‘perfect’ dose for ‘you.’ Perfect as in feel great, blood markets look good.
You're the best on providing much needed information that men need. Thank you for all the information, and knowledge that you provide, it is definitely beneficial to anyone interested in this subject. 👍

AWESOME VID I was on 400 a week per my Doc. I backed it off to 200 to 300 ever 7 to 10 days. And Im a retired pro bodybuilder . No water retention no puffy and I get my labs that i ask for ever 6 to 8 months I ask for everything under the sun too.
@@Pitbull0669 I see by your picture you are still a pro ,you know what you're doing and a lot about nutrition. That physique has little to do with testosterone. I know guys who are on 800 a week and don't look half as good. The doctor knows what you need for a normal test level. God bless, stay passionate.
Great video doc I started TRT about 2 months ago and I feel great. But it’s trial and error. I started doing 200 every 2 weeks but had a hard crash at the end of the cycle so I changed it to 100 mg a week. That was better but I still had a small crash at the end of the cycle so I changed it to 50 mg every 3 days and found that was best for me because it kept my levels on a even level throughput the cycle so no crashes. Everyone’s different so you have to experiment to see how each one works for you because everybody metabolizes testosterone at different rates.
I'm older and have been on TRT for just 6 months. I inject 200mg of testosterone cypionate every 2 weeks and feel great; there is no crashing for me. The half-life of cypionate is 8 days, which means that I still have 100mg in my system on the 8th day which would be identical to injecting 100mg once per week. I really don't understand why people think they need to inject a long lasting ester like cypionate more frequently than what the manufacturer of the drug recommends.
Hey man I was prescribed 0.4ml twice a week I'm 37 Total t was 495 free t was 10.5. Waiting on my prescription to arrive. Also getting 0.5mg of clomiphene estrogen blocker but my levels were good. Sound right?
Why are you doing cycles on trt, trt is not a cycle yoj stick to the same dosing schedule FOREVER, unless what you're really doing is blasting and cruising which isn't trt at all.
Thank you for the video. I'm a 61 year old male that has just started on TRT about 2 months ago (August of 2024). My initial test level was about 290, and after 6 weeks of .75ml/week of cypionate, my level was over 1000. The next thing I'm working on is my estrogen level. It actually read low at the 6 week point, at 16. I was told this should be maintained in the 50 to 60 range, but I'm not an expert on that area. Does this sound correct?
Brilliant post doc always pro active and thinking of everyones health ..keep it up i wish we had docs in the uk that were open minded to trt for men and not just hrt for women .
i remember 10 years ago when i finaly found out all my health problems was low testosterone i was to afraid to start, thinking i was going to go bald, have heart problems, regret taking it and so on. i started taking trt 7 years ago, 3 years after i found out i had this low T disease, and you know what ? its the BEST DECISION I EVER DONE. the change is night and day. i use 150-200 mg a week. when training heavy i do 250 mg and it works wonders, im also very healthy and it helps my back pain better then pain killers

Don't hesitate to at least try it B4 you decide. Once you do I doubt very seriously if you will want to quit. I just turned 64. Before I felt like crap. Lack of energy. Low libido and performance. Depressed every day because I felt that life had no joy left for me and I seemed to be getting worse. I have now been on TRT for 12 weeks and I feel like a new man. No more brain fog. I can concentrate I can plan and I enjoy things again. I am now optimistic about the next 20 years or so. Libido is back and even experience morning wood. I feel like my old self again. I took the time to write this because I thought about it for a year before deciding to give it a try. I want my year back. Dont wait. Find a trustworthy TRT facility and give it a shot. I can also report that I have had zero negative side effects. The little bit that it cost is the best money I spend every month. Good luck.
Test Cyp helped all joint problems including a chronic rotator cuff problem. You really have to control your workouts because the energy you will have can potentiate re injury. No ego lifting.
I’m 37 and am taking 200mg a week of test c. Feel amazing. Estrogen levels never come abound 32 and the rest of my blood work is good. Recommend getting on trt.
I'm 68 years, I'm taking .6 ml every 3 and a half days of Testosterone Cypionate, for a total of 1.2 ml weekly. My last lab said my total testosterone was 1250 ng/dL, and my free testosterone of 31.8 pg/mL. Do you see any problems with my numbers? My prescriber is an Age Management Doctor
I take 600mg Test Cyp, 200mg Trenbolone and 400mg Masteron each week and ive been doing this for about 12 weeks now and I must say I've had my ups and downs 😅
@port nut Yes but it's about both . If it wasn't he wouldn't need too discuss some of the compounds that he does such as Anadrol, Halo , Ment aka trestolone ,Anavar ect ect..He would just discuss the basic TRT compounds such Test Cyp, Test E, Test Prop, Test Mast..Ect .. ect. He also discusses AI's which IMO shouldn't even be needed if taking a proper TRT dose( unless on a super rare case ). I'm on HRT myself and take usually 100 mgs a week of Test cyp or Test e. I have upped the dosage to 200mgs ( 100 2x per week as to keep the estrogen down) before when I was looking to put on a lil size after an injury . I just feel the guy came off super rude when the other guy was just sharing what stack he was on . Maybe you and I don't care but there's def guys watching this channel who take supra-physiological dosages. Those guys maybe very well I also agree on the Tren, I never touched the stuff nor would I ever . To me its just not worth it . Also it's not needed TBH unless ones going to step on stage.
My lipids are still great. Been on testosterone for 10 months now. Currently doing 100mg of Sustanon once a week. Also, if you have low T, chances are you have low estrogen too. You need estrogen for protecting your heart. So being on TRT that you have a medical need for will likely improve your heart health in the long run thanks to increased estrogen from aromatization. I wonder why this doc never talks about the beneficial effects of estrogen especially on the heart. As a man you need both in proper amounts to be healthy, let alone feel good.
@@johnmadsen37 You need to already be susceptible to gyno for that to be a concern. Very few guys are susceptible. We're talking replacement doses here and not the 10-20x that bodybuilders use too. Worst thing guys on replacement can do is take aromatase inhibitors. Your body does a great job of keeping estrogen in check. The benefits of estrogen also include increased libido - testosterone doesn't affect that.
Did you get repeatedly tested in the morning for free & normal Testosterone? Did your doctor do a prolactin test, sleep apnea test and a prostate hormone test. If they didn't do any of them. Don’t even start using Sustanon. I've been on TRT. Used Sustanon for 6 months. I'm off now. Instead I'm treated for the cause of low-T instead of Testosterone therapy. It seems hCG which is harmless keeps my T levels pretty well. And if it would still be low no sensible mens doctor would prescribe Sustanon but Reandron or something long acting but with stable blood levels. Sustanon peaks to much causing unstable blood levels and unwanted symptoms that come with it. You see these day's many guys half my age on TRT and that's just ridiculous. No guy in their 20s should be on TRT unless they have a serious problem. The problem with all of those guys: overtraining, dieting and being way to dry. All of which cause low-T 🤔 go to a real men's physician. Not some doctor who doesn't know shit! If you are on Sustanon for 3 years. You are most likely never ever be able to get of it cause you've ruined your own production. And those guys in their 20s... man: you wanna ever have kids? Because on Sustanon that ain't happening bro!
.. After not using steroids since I was in my twenties, I returned to competitive bodybuilding way later in life .. I just won the middleweight class at the 2021' NPC Master's Nationals / 60 +, at 67 years old .. I have been using PED's fairly consistently for the last five years .. In prep for the show I used very strong stimulants as well .. Combined with the diet, I completely lost my sex drive during this time .. After the show, I got off everything all at once, cold turkey .. I used zero 'post' therapy .. I felt kind of weird for about 3 weeks, but after that my body got back to normal and my sex drive went through the roof! Crazy at my age huh? I'm going back to nationals in 2022' for my pro card .. I hope my body hangs on for another go at it
Great video Doc! The Best ive seen on recommend dosages. Ive actually backed up alota men on ther doses that get it frm ther Dr's and Wellness Centers. So hopefully they understand this video. 👍
My testosterone was at 332..... at 31 years old. I'm currently taking .4ml of cypionate every 3 days (although for simplicity I do it every wednesday and sunday) . I'm also doing .25ml of HCG every wednesday. Does this seem appropriate? It hasn't been my 10 weeks yet, so I have no idea where I stand but I'd love to know what a doctor thinks of that. I think I also want to move away from IM and move to subcutaneous injections, but my understanding is .4ml is above the maximum limit for sub injections. I want to trust the doctors at the clinic I went through, but I do feel like most TRT clinics are infact trying to sell rather than help most people, so asking the ones that put me on it feels a little bit conflict of interest like.
I did this lol. My doctor said take a few days off before bloodwork and come in fasted in the morning. Well I wanted my level to be low so I took a week off before bloodwork. My test level came back low, so dr raised the dose. After the second time he raised it he asked “your last shot was 3 days ago?” (We do bi-weekly shots). I lied “yep”. Got my dose all the way up to 320mg/week. Started having problems with estrogen conversion, had to start taking arimidex like it was candy. Confessed to the Dr, told him I learned my lesson. Now my dose is around 130mg/week lol

I'm a 47 Year old Man in regional Australia I have no access to doctors that can help me . Testosterone has changed my life. I take .010mls almost every day. Before test I was a 43 year OLD man . 200 years ago I would have been an old man. Doesnt it make sense if we are living longer than in human history our biology will need assistance keeping up? What is the point in living past 100 with no life quality..
This is so well said. When u think about it, for most of human history it was rare to be old. You were likely to die at around 40. Therefore, from an evolutionary perspective, your body’s biological clock knows this and just stops working. Not the case today. Some of us live too long, yet we choose to suffer during those extended years? Why? It doesn’t make sense.
On TRT myself but I think you’ve got it all wrong... I can imagine there were far less hormonal issues back in the old days, our genetics have become weak due to all the GMOs, herbicides, low nutrient dense foods and the list goes on.
Might I add a solution... we’re in the Information Age now, educate your children and have open dialogue with close family and friends about the importance of nutrition and the avoidance of environmental factors that stunt development, This won’t change over a single generation, it would take a few in order to see noticeable positive change. Family generational education and consistency is key!
@@87091250 I agree all the GMOs, herbicides, low nutrient dense foods affect our bodies but we have also never had Clean drinking water and the variety of food that have now and the choices that come with the global economy. Good and bad. But the bodies biological clock cannot adapt. WOMEN start menopause around the late forties for the same reason. The are given hormone replacement therapy worldwide to treat this...
I'm 53 my levels were very low it was below 300 5:40 I took my first dose 15 days ago one dose for every two weeks I feel energetic strong and my libido came back
The Doc's got it down. I'm 61 and only do 200mg test every two weeks. Back in the day, I would do 200mg test and 200-400 Deca a week 4 IU HGH a day to include an oral like Var, D-bol or halotestin. I had sleep apnea, could barely breathe during workouts (Edema) and my lipids were off the chart! I knew it wasn't good for me and had I continued, probably wouldn't be writing this, I would be dead by now.
def by far not the best ! doctor doesn't know as much as some of the gym rats I watch . Its decent for guys looking for hormone replacement but sucks if you're looking to actually grow its def not !

@@impretzl1551 yea, big link to iron and b12 both of which were top of range. stopped the vit-c supps and all the b12, been on 100mg a week after bringing the hemoglobin down to 16.4, did another cbc after a month, didn't budge. maybe it creeps over time ? but the big link i found was with too much red meat and tons of vitimins that increase iron and b12 absorption. that was what shot me up. ferritin was fine and i even did hemochromatosis testing. one copy of h63d but not both and no c282y, between that and my ferritin hovering around 100-120 the problem i had was in diet and supps. also doing a lot of cardio now.

@@impretzl1551 do your blood work asap & check your blood pressure resting. it needs to stay under 130/80 . if your hemoglobin cranks up it can make you feel lethargic and you get kind of fuzzy vision, like eye pressure. if your hemoglobin is over 18 don't panic, just donate. each pint lowers you about 1.5pts of hemoglobin, if it's really up there like 20, donate one pint and 2 weeks later if your iron is good donate another. if it's crashed talk to the doctor. most men will elevate taking 250mg/wk. if you have maybe try 80-100 after you get your BP and hemoglobin down, monitor and then go to 200-250 for 8-12 weeks in summer when you bust ass if you feel you need it. my thought process was i am 340ng natural with a 11 free. at 80mg i'm 580 total and 16.3 free, now at 100 but don't feel much different than 80, may go back depending on what next blood work does. i was not elevating blood pressure or hemoglobin at 80mg/wk. i'm currently experimenting between 80 and 100 on labs 6 weeks apart

congrats for the video Doc… gret information as always. i was just wondering… different esters are different only regarding the frequency of the injections or they can also have a different impact and effect on the body??
That’s awesome Sir. I am striving to one day be like you. If I may ask a question...how is your hematocrit level? I hear that long term use of testosterone causes hemochromatosis like symptoms that require you to give blood every eight weeks to reduce the viscosity of the blood. Do you have to do this ?
I do one. I used to feel a dip of energy on day 6, but after the first 8 months the dip goes away and it's very consistent. After being on TRT for 10 years, trust me, you'll run out of injection locations. Twice a week you'll get some scar tissue twice as fast.

Started my TRT at 200mg cyp/wk @ 100mg every 3.5 days. Felt great for 8 weeks, but now have some lows before each dose. Switching to 60mg EOD. Being monitored by a doctor of course. -The Rogue Nurse
200mg of test C is 200mg of test C no matter the concentration. My vials are 200mg/mL like EVERY legit vial of test C or E in the USA prescribed by a doctor. mL and cc are the same unit of measurement. So I was doing 0.5cc (100mg) twice per week. Now I am doing 0.3cc (60mg) EOD. This then equates to 210mg per week. I am too lazy to inject 57mg at a time so I round up. Also I run 140iu hCG EOD. No AI!!
At least the 100mg/ml concentrations are available through prescription...you can see them for sale on GoodRx for yourself. I have seen 300mg/ml, though I can't say if it was prescribed or not as it was not mine. Seems like higher concentrations would be desirable for stacking other compounds and keeping the total,volume down.
Great info doc started with 200 e a week but I felt great but RBC went up a bit I get blood test every 3 months so backed off to 100 mg every 6 days but feeling a bit shitty so gonna try 120 every 6 days see what that brings
@@giovannigiorgio8664 About that response do you think if i split my sustanon 250 into two weekly 125mg doses each will be safer than the whole 250 at once or is 250mg not a big deal to be shot up in the glute all at once?
Been injecting 15mg every morning for a week now. Have noticed a slight uptick in mood and decreased stress at work. That’s about it. The first day I got a euphoric sensation for a couple hours at the end of the day.
@@johnsiedlitzki8381 Depends how many MG per ml the testosterone you are using is. It should say on the bottle. Usually test E is 200mg/ml from the pharmacy. I am currently using a bottle that is 250mg/ml. A cc is equal to an ml. So most likely you are pinning 200mg twice a week. That's 400mg per week. If that's the case then I believe that is way too much for a TRT dose. That's what a bodybuilder would run for a cycle. You will feel amazing for several weeks but you should not run that much test for more than a 10-12 week cycle. Here's the problems you will see over time. Test aromatases into estrogen so in time your estrogen will be very high. That will cause acne, make you emotional, and can be a carcinogen long term. High estrogen can also cause gynomastia which means you could grow boobs. You will hold water and that strains the kidneys. There are anti-estrogen pills such as arimidex to control estrogen but they are liver toxic. Not a big deal to take them occasionally to knock down estrogen but you don't want your test dose so high that you have to take arimidex every 3 days for years and years. Thats just too hard on the liver. If you get gyno then you definitely need to take an anti-estrgen to knock that out. Just not regularly. Over time it will damage your liver. After several months your blood count will get very high causing your blood to be thick. In the beginning the extra blood count actually increases your physical performance but then it just goes really high and has the opposite effect. That's dangerous. Increased blood pressure from that. You will go from tons of energy to very tired when that happens. It's an easy fix though. You just go give blood and it will bring it back in line. No doubt if you are on 400mg test per week you are gonna love it for a while. It's just too high a dose to stay on. You need to start your dose around 125-150mg per week. Maybe even just 100mg per week. After 6 weeks pull bloodwork and see where your levels are at. Then adjust the dose up or down if needed to hit the desired levels. In 6 more weeks run bloodwork again. Keep doing this every 6 weeks until your levels are perfect. It takes 6 weeks for you system to level out when you change the dose. Once you know what dose you need to hit perfect test levels then you probably just need to pull bloodwork once or twice a year to monitor things. The correct dose should keep estrogen in line without the need for an anti-estrogen medication. It should also keep rbc count in normal range. This is the proper way to administer TRT. If you want to run steroid cycles then it's different. 400mg test pretty much is a steroid cycle though so be careful. To put it in perspective for you. Normal testosterone levels for men are around 600ng/dl to 1100ng/dl. When I take 125mg per week it puts me right at 1100ng/dl which is the high side of normal. I know some guys who need 200mg to reach 1100ng/dl. Everyone is different but nobody needs 400mg to get there. When I've run 500mg per week of test my levels are around 4000ng/dl. You feel like superman for a while but those levels will cause problems over time. Let me know if you have any questions.
@@johnsiedlitzki8381 How old are you? Did you do bloodwork before you started testosterone to see where your baseline levels are? If so, what was your natural testosterone level at?
@@johnsiedlitzki8381 Im 46. Started messing with this stuff at 40 and got real interested. I've ran many cycles and I'm also on TRT through a doctor. I've gained 40 pounds of muscle and I'm extremely lean now. Most people watching this video are interested in TRT which is testosterone replacement therapy. As you know our testosterone decreases with age. A doctor can prescribe you testosterone to get you back to a normal healthy level. What I described to you previously is the process of finding the proper testosterone dose that will bring you to normal and you can stay on that dose indefinitely without problems. You'd just monitor bloodwork 1-2 times per year. Cycling is different. Running a cycle means you take a large dose that brings you to superman levels. You can also combine it with other compounds like Deca, anadrol, winstrol, Trenbolone. It's not gonna kill you but you need to come off after 10-12 weeks. 14 weeks max. Not like TRT that you can run forever. Don't get addicted and not come off. Ive seen guys who never want to come off and they mess themselves up. TRT is very healthy and can eliminate health issues caused by low T. Cycling is not all that healthy. It's a little hard on your system but it's not gonna kill you and it's not near as bad as you've probably been told. Especially a basic test only cycle like you are doing. The high dose for short term doesn't really mess you up. Damage is caused by not coming off. On a test only cycle you will feel great. The biggest gains come in week 8-12 when running test only. As you get to week 8 the estrogen and other numbers are gonna be getting more out of line so you may not feel as good as you did in week 4-7. The main thing I think you should pay attention to is gyno. If your niplles start to hurt and develop lumps you need arimidex or another anti-estrogen immediately and it should go. away. When you come off you will need to do a PCT, post cycle therapy. You need clomid to help restart your natural test. I can send you a link where you can order it online. You should take 50mg per day of clomid for 3 weeks. Some people take 75mg the 1st week and then 50mg the 2nd and 3rd week. It's also recommended to take Nolvadex during pct to control estrogen. I've never needed it though. PCT start times differ depending what compounds you are coming off of. For test Enanthate you would start PCT 2 weeks after your last pin. The compounds need to clear your system before starting PCT or the pct is doing no good. I recommend running HCG while on cycle. Your natural test is shut down while on cycle. HCG mimics the signal your body sends to you testicles to keep them working. They won't shrink and they work like normal the whole time. Thing is your body still isn't sending the signal so when you come off it takes time for that to start back up but your testicles are already working so it happens faster. Without using HCG the signal has to turn back on and then once it does it takes additional time for your testicles to fire back up cause they've been dormant for 3 months. It just helps recovery and also keeps balls from shrinking. Coming off a cycle sucks bad. Your natural test crashes and it takes around 6-8 weeks to recover. Maybe less if you run HCG. You feel like total garbage . Head fog, depression, tired all the time, decreased sex drive. You might want to have some cialis on hand for those 6 weeks. The clomid will help with that too. I got tired of crashing so I got on TRT. I basically blast and cruise. I blast a cycle for 12 weeks and then go back to TRT dose for 12 weeks. So basically I never crash. I just drop back to a normal healthy TRT level. I think your 400mg per of test E is fine but just be ready to come off at 12 weeks and watch for gyno. You should always have arimidex on hand cause if you have an estrogen issue or gyno you will need it immediately. No time to order it and wait.
@@johnsiedlitzki8381 I bet your testosterone Enanthate is 250mg/ml. If so you are doing 500mg per week and that's fine. I'm doing 500mg per week of test E right now also, along with some other stuff too. I thought you got it from a pharmacy. Here in America test E usually comes 200mg from the pharmacy. The UGL test E (under ground labs) is usually 250mg/ml.
@@johnsiedlitzki8381 You should try to let your wife know if that's even possible for you. Makes it much easier. My wife knows and she doesn't mind. I think the likes it.

@@HaveUSeenLee 500 isn’t something you want to stay on for life its just a bridge between cycles. 150mg is healthy male testosterone levels so 250-300 is pretty much doubled healthy levels blood gets to thick at 500 and heart works extra hard
Your levels are most stable with the more frequent pins. EOD is slightly more stable levels than 2x/week. But you have a point in that the difference in blood levels between EOD and 2x/week are fairly negligible for enanthate or cypionate. Personally, I do EOD but I do sub-Q injections in belly fat. Painless, super quick, easy
I think it is shameful in this country and in other countries that a man can't go in and get a doctor to write him trt but a woman who wants to be a man can get them to write her competition bodybuilder doses. Very thankful for the anabolic doc any information I get here. Thankful for the brotherhood and camaraderie of supportive men who are trying to stay healthy with trt and enhanced trt.
Your exactly right there
Different subject but we see where youre coming from .
My doctor gives me scripts of Primoteston,'' Test enanthate 250 mg per hit, 3 hits in one box''. Supplies ran out for about 6 months, because there were so many Women wanting to be men. So, people that really needed it, it was not available.
So, I had to use the much more expensive Sustanon in Australia.
Uh. Why can't men go get a trt prescription? I had no problem. Honestly I don't know any women on test so I can't comment on the process for them. Do you or are you just making assumptions?
@@simonpaterson9648 real world info.
A very healthy man may put out 10mg/day of testosterone naturally. Injectable testosterone (enanthate, cypionate) are actually only about 70% testosterone (the rest is the ester that provides the time release effect). That means that 100mg/wk would provide an average of 10mg/day of active drug and hence would equate to the high end of the normal male testosterone production. The current consensus seems to be that exogenous testosterone and naturally produced testosterone are metabolized a little differently and not equal mg for mg in the body, with injectable testosterone needing to be administered at a somewhat higher dose in order to reach proper therapeutic levels. This means that TRT dosages should start at 100mg a week of injectable testosterone . The high end of responsible use would probably be 200mg/week. This is indicated in the literature when these drugs were developed and also corresponds well with the experience of many men on TRT.
100mg a week of injectable testosterone enanthate or cypionate is a great starting point. Sustanon does not spread out the release of test over time as well as claimed). Creams and patches cost way more and may not get you all the way there. Pellets leave scar tissue. Aveed (test undecanoate) would be ideal at a one month shot interval, but in the U.S. is given once every 3 months by physician only. This will leave with with low T levels for 2/3s of the time. Also, there is no safe, effective oral testosterone.
Learn to pin yourself, you'll get used to it. Inject into your upper, outer glutes. Use an 18 gauge to draw and switch tips to a 25g 1'' to inject. Push in very slowly to avoid soreness. You could inject small doses every other day, but this a lot of work, wastes too much drug in the needle tip and the even levels of T are boring. You could also inject as far apart as 14 days for convenience. You will be low in the last few days and you may get a headache the next day after injecting as your levels skyrocket. The ideal is probably once a week, easy to manage with a nice little spike of testosterone. It feels good when your levels are rising and a spike in T boosts muscle growth. The genes that control muscle growth are more effectively switched on by high peak levels rather than more even levels of T.
You need to check your T levels at peak (2 days after injection) and trough (right before your next injection). Peak levels of 1,000 to 1,200 would be normal, tell your doc to chill. Trough levels should remain above 500. Average the two values. If you are young, your average value should be on the upper end of the normal range. As you age, a more average level would be more appropriate.
It's hard to give cut and dry numbers because we differ in our physiology. If your T levels are good you should have a satisfactory sex drive, you should get morning wood at least sometimes, and you should feel a smooth unshakable confidence. You're not aggressive, it's just that nothing can touch you, you can handle whatever comes. If you are low, you may be irritable or even depressed. You may have trouble maintaining erections and in general feel kind of stuck. And of course you may suffer from long term health problems like diabetes and dementia. If you are too high you may get water retention (bloated face), and high bp. This is caused by excessive conversion to estrogen. If you feel the need for an aromatase inhibitor, you are taking too much T. Avoid AI's at all costs, they cause micro-lesions in your arteries that can turn into serious problems. Estrogen is actually your friend, it is what causes the improvement in your mood and believe it or not, increases your sexual desire. Male=testosterone, female=estrogen is outdated thinking. Both hormones play an important role in healthy individuals of either sex.
One side effect that may occur even with proper dosages is an increase in hematocrit. It will improve your athletic performance up to about 51%. After that your blood will start getting sludgy and decrease cardio respiratory efficiency. You will be at higher risk of blood clots. If you are over 51% save a life and donate some blood. The life saved could be yours.
If you have low T, it is better to fix it earlier in life rather than later. Men who go a long time with low T are more likely to suffer from blood clots and other troubles when they finally get on TRT. If you have a moderate case of low T, you may be able to fix it by working out. Losing fat will increase your T levels. You may want to give this approach serious effort because once you go on TRT, it is generally for life. But if diet and exercise prove insufficient, find a doctor who understands the risks of low T and will help you and monitor your treatment.
Life is too short to not be the warrior, hunter, builder, protector and the sauve sex machine you are meant to be. If you are suffering don't take no for an answer, take TESTOSTERONE!

Can you make cycles and be on of with testosterone?
Steroids greatly boosted my fitness progress, enabling me to surpass previous milestones and achieve results more quickly. Their effectiveness depends on incorporating them wisely within a carefully designed regimen that prioritizes both growth and well-being.
Test Enan is commonly used in hormone replacement therapy to address low testosterone levels, promoting muscle growth and improving overall well-being. Tren, on the other hand, greatly enhances muscle size and strength. Speeds up recovery from injuries as well.
Totally agree. Steroids helped me recover faster and maintain muscle mass, especially during intense training or after injury. It's amazing how they can support bone health as well, which is crucial for people with conditions like osteoporosis.
There’s no doubt to the benefits of steroids. Honestly, it has greatly impacted my life. It played a major role in achieving my desired physique. People should learn not to abuse these substances and act like they are all bad.
Hey everyone, I’m looking for reliable sources for both steroids and protein supplements. I know it’s crucial to be cautious with these, especially with steroids, so I want to make sure I’m getting them from trustworthy sources. For protein supplements, I’m also interested in recommendations for reputable brands. Any suggestions or advice on where to find safe and high quality options?
Jeremyproteins is the person you want. He's the most knowledgeable about muscle-building supplements that I know.
6 years at 200mg per week keeps me at 700-800ng at the age of 40. No estrogenic problems that I am aware of. Lipids are in acceptable range. Gained 40lbs of muscle and absolutely changed my life for the better in every way.
40lbs of muscle holy crap man👍
@Jason Jones all the more reason to get on some testosterone- seriously though, get some basic labs and find out where your testosterone and estrogen levels are and go from there. It's really not that complicated. You just need to find what is best for your goals. I didn't find out until I was 34. Never too late.

yeah, I was gonna say 200mg/weekly on the first month would have thrown those hematocrits levels to another planet, causing you to experience faitgue, hypertension and overall tireness. 150mg a week is more than enough! youll keep and develop a significant amount of muscle on that.@@kirksears6541
He always keeps it 100% honest and unbiased
Appreciate you. I recently lowered my dose to 100mg/wk due to estrogenic side effects and BP. You're 100% right. Good man.
Same here. Thinking of quitting for this reason. How did you get on long term any tips ?
If I may share my experience to testify that more isn't necessarily better on the long term, I started my TRT with testosterone enanthate at 75 mg every 4 days (roughly 130 mg x week) and had to take anastrozole to keep the estrogen at bay. It was just a fraction of a pill every other day, but it still affected my lipid profile in a couple years. Not to a dangerously preoccupying level yet, but it did.
So I dialed the dose of testosterone a little bit, 50 mg every 4 days instead of 75 (so 90 mg every week) and, surprise surprise, not only my blood profile has improved and now I have normal estradiol levels too without the need of an additional drug, I actually feel better: no significant muscle loss, libido in check, less acne on my shoulders and even less anxiety.
It's hard to believe for us coming from the bodybuilding crowd, but you can feel good at a surprisingly low dose of testosterone. As the doc says, you should try to find the minimum required for the desired effect. It's gonna save you from a lot of worries down the road.
What where your test levels coming out too
You were satisfied with 50mg because have big muscles were not your purpose. Not the case of many people on trt
Yeah what was your free test levels like, at 50mg a week you would habe to be a hyper responder to get back up into the normal range for trt 600-800 ng/dc...at this point your better off getting off the t and starting hcg to kick your balls back in, the just stay on hcg which is safer.
I'm 62, they just started me on 200mg a week. First 2 months my sex and libido was through the roof, now 4 months in it's worse than when I started. Wondering if I'm on too much?

Im a physician. I love this info since it matches my feel and previous knowledge. Only point he did mention but did not stress enough is the cardiac muscle remodeling: You might feel great, your labs can be awesome but there are non measurable changes that test can do, changing the structure of the cardiac muscle is one. In simple words this means that muscle fibers in the heart can be altered (because of too much hormonal stimulation) therefore resulting in less organized and less efficient fibers which can lead to an inefficient pumping heart after many years (decades probably) and end up as chronic heart failure.
My point is, do take that “take the least amount necessary” in consideration, as well as don’t take test if you dont need it.. if you feel insecure or depressed a therapist can do a way better job. The easy way might cost you in the long run if you over do it. Im 40, I have taken test cycles, I know it feels amazing, Just be mindful of these points. The body is like a fine clockwork machine, if you change something it can have consequences in other different parts.
Thank you Dr. Derek. I’m glad you switched over to this channel to share the same information you’ve been sharing for a while now.
470mg a week of Sustanon, 700mg Primobolan a week, 260mg NPP a week. I’ve found with the Testosterone to Primobolan ratio I really don’t need an AI because the primo is presumably competing (and mostly winning) to bind with the aromatase preventing testosterone binding with aromatase.

Thank you for keeping us safe, it has been a blessing finding true science you provide. Personally I feel 100-150mg/sometimes 200mg is perfect and anything over is overkill.

Were is your medical degree? none hu, then best to keep quiet in regards to medical advice
The safest dose is one that makes you feel good and normal without having to add an AI. If you have to add an AI then you are taking to much test for your body to handle. That comes directly from my endocrinologist who has over 30 years experience with TRT.
What is an AI ?

I've been on trt for 5 years. It's changed my life for the better by far. Enough to where I got back into competing. 250mg prop a week. My blood work is stellar. Cypionate and enanthate had me holding water and my doctor and I found success in propionate daily or EOD.
THIS is how actual doctors should speak about medical stuff. Really good stuff, great explaining. I am 32 and on 100mg of cypionate per week. Feeling awesome
Does it get u bulk
Being on trt for years now. Every guy is different, it’s trial and error of finding the ‘perfect’ dose for ‘you.’
Perfect as in feel great, blood markets look good.
It took a good year to figure out my dose. After countless blood work and diff doseage. 100 mg every 5 days keeps me around 900

@@Pitbull0669 I see by your picture you are still a pro ,you know what you're doing and a lot about nutrition. That physique has little to do with testosterone. I know guys who are on 800 a week and don't look half as good. The doctor knows what you need for a normal test level. God bless, stay passionate.
Great video doc I started TRT about 2 months ago and I feel great. But it’s trial and error. I started doing 200 every 2 weeks but had a hard crash at the end of the cycle so I changed it to 100 mg a week. That was better but I still had a small crash at the end of the cycle so I changed it to 50 mg every 3 days and found that was best for me because it kept my levels on a even level throughput the cycle so no crashes. Everyone’s different so you have to experiment to see how each one works for you because everybody metabolizes testosterone at different rates.
your trt sounds odd....
I'm older and have been on TRT for just 6 months. I inject 200mg of testosterone cypionate every 2 weeks and feel great; there is no crashing for me. The half-life of cypionate is 8 days, which means that I still have 100mg in my system on the 8th day which would be identical to injecting 100mg once per week. I really don't understand why people think they need to inject a long lasting ester like cypionate more frequently than what the manufacturer of the drug recommends.
Hey man I was prescribed 0.4ml twice a week I'm 37 Total t was 495 free t was 10.5. Waiting on my prescription to arrive. Also getting 0.5mg of clomiphene estrogen blocker but my levels were good. Sound right?
Why are you doing cycles on trt, trt is not a cycle yoj stick to the same dosing schedule FOREVER, unless what you're really doing is blasting and cruising which isn't trt at all.
@noblewon3507 meh that's low level but if it makes you feel good then thats fine. Not sire why you need an AI?? Did you get your e2 levels checked?
Fantastic platform to advertise! This is here to stay!
Thank you for the video. I'm a 61 year old male that has just started on TRT about 2 months ago (August of 2024). My initial test level was about 290, and after 6 weeks of .75ml/week of cypionate, my level was over 1000.
The next thing I'm working on is my estrogen level. It actually read low at the 6 week point, at 16. I was told this should be maintained in the 50 to 60 range, but I'm not an expert on that area. Does this sound correct?
Brilliant post doc always pro active and thinking of everyones health ..keep it up i wish we had docs in the uk that were open minded to trt for men and not just hrt for women .
Completely agree. So frustrating. Given the fact is so easy to come by here

Look into stem cell therapy instead of another surgery. Took 95% of my hip pain away.
How is 100mg working for you?
So how things after 2yrs?
Don't hesitate to at least try it B4 you decide. Once you do I doubt very seriously if you will want to quit.
I just turned 64. Before I felt like crap. Lack of energy. Low libido and performance. Depressed every day because I felt that life had no joy left for me and I seemed to be getting worse. I have now been on TRT for 12 weeks and I feel like a new man. No more brain fog. I can concentrate I can plan and I enjoy things again. I am now optimistic about the next 20 years or so. Libido is back and even experience morning wood. I feel like my old self again.
I took the time to write this because I thought about it for a year before deciding to give it a try. I want my year back. Dont wait. Find a trustworthy TRT facility and give it a shot. I can also report that I have had zero negative side effects.
The little bit that it cost is the best money I spend every month.
Good luck.
Test Cyp helped all joint problems including a chronic rotator cuff problem. You really have to control your workouts because the energy you will have can potentiate re injury. No ego lifting.
I’m 37 and am taking 200mg a week of test c. Feel amazing. Estrogen levels never come abound 32 and the rest of my blood work is good. Recommend getting on trt.
Sound advice Doc. Thanks for posting and stay safe 🙏
I'm 68 years, I'm taking .6 ml every 3 and a half days of Testosterone Cypionate, for a total of 1.2 ml weekly. My last lab said my total testosterone was 1250 ng/dL, and my free testosterone of 31.8 pg/mL. Do you see any problems with my numbers? My prescriber is an Age Management Doctor

Why do we care
@@hurricane8634 because it's an video on anabolic dosages dummy
@port nut Yes but it's about both . If it wasn't he wouldn't need too discuss some of the compounds that he does such as Anadrol, Halo , Ment aka trestolone ,Anavar ect ect..He would just discuss the basic TRT compounds such Test Cyp, Test E, Test Prop, Test Mast..Ect .. ect. He also discusses AI's which IMO shouldn't even be needed if taking a proper TRT dose( unless on a super rare case ). I'm on HRT myself and take usually 100 mgs a week of Test cyp or Test e. I have upped the dosage to 200mgs ( 100 2x per week as to keep the estrogen down) before when I was looking to put on a lil size after an injury . I just feel the guy came off super rude when the other guy was just sharing what stack he was on . Maybe you and I don't care but there's def guys watching this channel who take supra-physiological dosages. Those guys maybe very well I also agree on the Tren, I never touched the stuff nor would I ever . To me its just not worth it . Also it's not needed TBH unless ones going to step on stage.
My lipids are still great. Been on testosterone for 10 months now. Currently doing 100mg of Sustanon once a week. Also, if you have low T, chances are you have low estrogen too. You need estrogen for protecting your heart. So being on TRT that you have a medical need for will likely improve your heart health in the long run thanks to increased estrogen from aromatization.
I wonder why this doc never talks about the beneficial effects of estrogen especially on the heart. As a man you need both in proper amounts to be healthy, let alone feel good.
That and it's more neurotoxic to have low estrogen as well
Be careful of growing breasts like a women from too high estrogen. There are many very negative side effects from high estrogen, including fertility.
homie only 100mgs? i hope you pin everyday in diff spots, reduces the side effects to almost 0
@@johnmadsen37 You need to already be susceptible to gyno for that to be a concern. Very few guys are susceptible. We're talking replacement doses here and not the 10-20x that bodybuilders use too. Worst thing guys on replacement can do is take aromatase inhibitors. Your body does a great job of keeping estrogen in check. The benefits of estrogen also include increased libido - testosterone doesn't affect that.
Did you get repeatedly tested in the morning for free & normal Testosterone? Did your doctor do a prolactin test, sleep apnea test and a prostate hormone test. If they didn't do any of them. Don’t even start using Sustanon. I've been on TRT. Used Sustanon for 6 months. I'm off now. Instead I'm treated for the cause of low-T instead of Testosterone therapy. It seems hCG which is harmless keeps my T levels pretty well. And if it would still be low no sensible mens doctor would prescribe Sustanon but Reandron or something long acting but with stable blood levels. Sustanon peaks to much causing unstable blood levels and unwanted symptoms that come with it.
You see these day's many guys half my age on TRT and that's just ridiculous. No guy in their 20s should be on TRT unless they have a serious problem. The problem with all of those guys: overtraining, dieting and being way to dry. All of which cause low-T 🤔 go to a real men's physician. Not some doctor who doesn't know shit! If you are on Sustanon for 3 years. You are most likely never ever be able to get of it cause you've ruined your own production. And those guys in their 20s... man: you wanna ever have kids? Because on Sustanon that ain't happening bro!
Great video and great info. This is what I've been looking for! You have a new subscriber!
.. After not using steroids since I was in my twenties, I returned to competitive bodybuilding way later in life .. I just won the middleweight class at the 2021' NPC Master's Nationals / 60 +, at 67 years old .. I have been using PED's fairly consistently for the last five years .. In prep for the show I used very strong stimulants as well .. Combined with the diet, I completely lost my sex drive during this time .. After the show, I got off everything all at once, cold turkey .. I used zero 'post' therapy .. I felt kind of weird for about 3 weeks, but after that my body got back to normal and my sex drive went through the roof! Crazy at my age huh? I'm going back to nationals in 2022' for my pro card .. I hope my body hangs on for another go at it
And your sex drive is still through the roof at 66? Crazy.
Great video Doc! The Best ive seen on recommend dosages. Ive actually backed up alota men on ther doses that get it frm ther Dr's and Wellness Centers. So hopefully they understand this video. 👍
This guy knows what he is talking about. Thanks
My testosterone was at 332..... at 31 years old. I'm currently taking .4ml of cypionate every 3 days (although for simplicity I do it every wednesday and sunday) . I'm also doing .25ml of HCG every wednesday. Does this seem appropriate? It hasn't been my 10 weeks yet, so I have no idea where I stand but I'd love to know what a doctor thinks of that. I think I also want to move away from IM and move to subcutaneous injections, but my understanding is .4ml is above the maximum limit for sub injections. I want to trust the doctors at the clinic I went through, but I do feel like most TRT clinics are infact trying to sell rather than help most people, so asking the ones that put me on it feels a little bit conflict of interest like.
As much as you can get prescribed

I did this lol. My doctor said take a few days off before bloodwork and come in fasted in the morning. Well I wanted my level to be low so I took a week off before bloodwork. My test level came back low, so dr raised the dose. After the second time he raised it he asked “your last shot was 3 days ago?” (We do bi-weekly shots). I lied “yep”.

I'm a 47 Year old Man in regional Australia I have no access to doctors that can help me . Testosterone has changed my life. I take .010mls almost every day. Before test I was a 43 year OLD man . 200 years ago I would have been an old man. Doesnt it make sense if we are living longer than in human history our biology will need assistance keeping up? What is the point in living past 100 with no life quality..
This is so well said. When u think about it, for most of human history it was rare to be old. You were likely to die at around 40. Therefore, from an evolutionary perspective, your body’s biological clock knows this and just stops working.
Not the case today. Some of us live too long, yet we choose to suffer during those extended years? Why? It doesn’t make sense.
On TRT myself but I think you’ve got it all wrong... I can imagine there were far less hormonal issues back in the old days, our genetics have become weak due to all the GMOs, herbicides, low nutrient dense foods and the list goes on.
Might I add a solution... we’re in the Information Age now, educate your children and have open dialogue with close family and friends about the importance of nutrition and the avoidance of environmental factors that stunt development, This won’t change over a single generation, it would take a few in order to see noticeable positive change. Family generational education and consistency is key!

@@impretzl1551 yea, big link to iron and b12 both of which were top of range. stopped the vit-c supps and all the b12, been on 100mg a week after bringing the hemoglobin down to 16.4, did another cbc after a month, didn't budge. maybe it creeps over time ? but the big link i found was with too much red meat and tons of vitimins that increase iron and b12 absorption. that was what shot me up. ferritin was fine and i even did hemochromatosis testing. one copy of h63d but not both and no c282y, between that and my ferritin hovering around 100-120 the problem i had was in diet and supps. also doing a lot of cardio now.
@@gen-X-trader that makes sense, I might be having the same issue atm. I started at 250mg and felt so alive and was making insane gains +5kg in a month at the gym. Then after that first month it went completely backwards and I felt horrible.
I lowered the dose to half which was 125mg a week. I did improve bur still wasn't feeling too well. Going to do blood work soon. But I'm not sure if I should get off or stay on a low dose of something like 70-100mg
@@impretzl1551 do your blood work asap & check your blood pressure resting. it needs to stay under 130/80 . if your hemoglobin cranks up it can make you feel lethargic and you get kind of fuzzy vision, like eye pressure. if your hemoglobin is over 18 don't panic, just donate. each pint lowers you about 1.5pts of hemoglobin, if it's really up there like 20, donate one pint and 2 weeks later if your iron is good donate another. if it's crashed talk to the doctor. most men will elevate taking 250mg/wk. if you have maybe try 80-100 after you get your BP and hemoglobin down, monitor and then go to 200-250 for 8-12 weeks in summer when you bust ass if you feel you need it. my thought process was i am 340ng natural with a 11 free. at 80mg i'm 580 total and 16.3 free, now at 100 but don't feel much different than 80, may go back depending on what next blood work does. i was not elevating blood pressure or hemoglobin at 80mg/wk. i'm currently experimenting between 80 and 100 on labs 6 weeks apart

Start low like 100mg/ week & get blood work a 8-10weeks in or so. Your levels should be 700-1000ng/dl so if your below or above adjust accordingly
Sustanon 250 injecting every 7 days at 125ml is my go to. Feel amazing.
Wish we could get prescription for that in US.. it’s mostly cyp and it gives me acne compared to sus or enth
every 5 days would be better and more stabilized blood levels
I take sustanon 250 every 10 days and I believe it's a lot so i'm gonna do 4 shots(already done two) then switch to e or c as it comes in a vial and it'll be easier to draw 100mg weekly.✌

Do you stop the course of 100mg n run constantly?
If you spend an hour or two reading, you'll know more about testosterone than 95% of the internal medicine doctors out there.
helo Doc how much do you take weekly? thanks for info
Would love to be able to talk to someone who actually knew what they were talking about will definitely download the app Ireland wouldn't be the easiest place to get any advice on the subject

I take 250-300 mgs test cyp weekly. Puts total about 1100ngdl and I have no symptoms of low t at that dose. I’m optimized not replacement. Know the difference
yep, totally agree if you are to go on it, you should be optimized.

Youre jacked
That’s awesome Sir. I am striving to one day be like you. If I may ask a question...how is your hematocrit level? I hear that long term use of testosterone causes hemochromatosis like symptoms that require you to give blood every eight weeks to reduce the viscosity of the blood. Do you have to do this ?
Huh? So your taking 400 mgs a week? 200 twice a week? Too much.
Why? You have better health with trt and if your actually doing trt you would be going thru a clinic that will monitor you alot.I'm on trt.
I never have and my hemocrit is normal.
Where is this Doc? I would dearly love to be his patient. Any advice you can share would be appreciated.
Just got test cyp 200mg per week. Should I do one injection once a week or break it up into two?
I do one. I used to feel a dip of energy on day 6, but after the first 8 months the dip goes away and it's very consistent. After being on TRT for 10 years, trust me, you'll run out of injection locations. Twice a week you'll get some scar tissue twice as fast.
I saw a Dr and he gave me such a bad dose that I felt even worse then when I started. I now know more than my Dr and get my own stuff.
Hey Doc, do a Video on trt for men with diabetes please
Diabetic men benefit immensely from TRT. Much of your metabolic syndrome is derived from low estrogen.
I’ve definitely benefited being on TRT as a type 1 diabetic
I love the thumbnail in the title. How much testosterone should I take.?
The answer is simple. All of it LOL

When you say 200mg per week what does that equate to in cc’s?
@@jmurf7637 he jus said @100.
That’s 1 mil
@@MrCokemaster05
Not necessarily...could be 100mg/mL...or 200mg/mL...or 300mg/mL.
200mg of test C is 200mg of test C no matter the concentration. My vials are 200mg/mL like EVERY legit vial of test C or E in the USA prescribed by a doctor. mL and cc are the same unit of measurement. So I was doing 0.5cc (100mg) twice per week. Now I am doing 0.3cc (60mg) EOD. This then equates to 210mg per week. I am too lazy to inject 57mg at a time so I round up. Also I run 140iu hCG EOD. No AI!!
At least the 100mg/ml concentrations are available through prescription...you can see them for sale on GoodRx for yourself. I have seen 300mg/ml, though I can't say if it was prescribed or not as it was not mine. Seems like higher concentrations would be desirable for stacking other compounds and keeping the total,volume down.
as much as you can until side effects are a problem.
Great info doc started with 200 e a week but I felt great but RBC went up a bit I get blood test every 3 months so backed off to 100 mg every 6 days but feeling a bit shitty so gonna try 120 every 6 days see what that brings

@@johnsiedlitzki8381
Depends how many MG per ml the testosterone you are using is. It should say on the bottle. Usually test E is 200mg/ml from the pharmacy. I am currently using a bottle that is 250mg/ml. A cc is equal to an ml. So most likely you are pinning 200mg twice a week. That's 400mg per week. If that's the case then I believe that is way too much for a TRT dose. That's what a bodybuilder would run for a cycle. You will feel amazing for several weeks but you should not run that much test for more than a 10-12 week cycle. Here's the problems you will see over time. Test aromatases into estrogen so in time your estrogen will be very high. That will cause acne, make you emotional, and can be a carcinogen long term. High estrogen can also cause gynomastia which means you could grow boobs. You will hold water and that strains the kidneys. There are anti-estrogen pills such as arimidex to control estrogen but they are liver toxic. Not a big deal to take them occasionally to knock down estrogen but you don't want your test dose so high that you have to take arimidex every 3 days for years and years. Thats just too hard on the liver. If you get gyno then you definitely need to take an anti-estrgen to knock that out. Just not regularly. Over time it will damage your liver. After several months your blood count will get very high causing your blood to be thick. In the beginning the extra blood count actually increases your physical performance but then it just goes really high and has the opposite effect. That's dangerous. Increased blood pressure from that. You will go from tons of energy to very tired when that happens. It's an easy fix though. You just go give blood and it will bring it back in line.
No doubt if you are on 400mg test per week you are gonna love it for a while. It's just too high a dose to stay on. You need to start your dose around 125-150mg per week. Maybe even just 100mg per week. After 6 weeks pull bloodwork and see where your levels are at. Then adjust the dose up or down if needed to hit the desired levels. In 6 more weeks run bloodwork again. Keep doing this every 6 weeks until your levels are perfect. It takes 6 weeks for you system to level out when you change the dose. Once you know what dose you need to hit perfect test levels then you probably just need to pull bloodwork once or twice a year to monitor things. The correct dose should keep estrogen in line without the need for an anti-estrogen medication. It should also keep rbc count in normal range. This is the proper way to administer TRT. If you want to run steroid cycles then it's different. 400mg test pretty much is a steroid cycle though so be careful.
To put it in perspective for you. Normal testosterone levels for men are around 600ng/dl to 1100ng/dl.
When I take 125mg per week it puts me right at 1100ng/dl which is the high side of normal. I know some guys who need 200mg to reach 1100ng/dl. Everyone is different but nobody needs 400mg to get there. When I've run 500mg per week of test my levels are around 4000ng/dl.
You feel like superman for a while but those levels will cause problems over time.
Let me know if you have any questions.
@@johnsiedlitzki8381
How old are you? Did you do bloodwork before you started testosterone to see where your baseline levels are? If so, what was your natural testosterone level at?
@@johnsiedlitzki8381
Im 46. Started messing with this stuff at 40 and got real interested. I've ran many cycles and I'm also on TRT through a doctor. I've gained 40 pounds of muscle and I'm extremely lean now. Most people watching this video are interested in TRT which is testosterone replacement therapy. As you know our testosterone decreases with age. A doctor can prescribe you testosterone to get you back to a normal healthy level.
What I described to you previously is the process of finding the proper testosterone dose that will bring you to normal and you can stay on that dose indefinitely without problems. You'd just monitor bloodwork 1-2 times per year.
Cycling is different. Running a cycle means you take a large dose that brings you to superman levels. You can also combine it with other compounds like Deca, anadrol, winstrol, Trenbolone. It's not gonna kill you but you need to come off after 10-12 weeks. 14 weeks max. Not like TRT that you can run forever. Don't get addicted and not come off. Ive seen guys who never want to come off and they mess themselves up.
TRT is very healthy and can eliminate health issues caused by low T.
Cycling is not all that healthy. It's a little hard on your system but it's not gonna kill you and it's not near as bad as you've probably been told. Especially a basic test only cycle like you are doing. The high dose for short term doesn't really mess you up. Damage is caused by not coming off.
On a test only cycle you will feel great. The biggest gains come in week 8-12 when running test only. As you get to week 8 the estrogen and other numbers are gonna be getting more out of line so you may not feel as good as you did in week 4-7. The main thing I think you should pay attention to is gyno. If your niplles start to hurt and develop lumps you need arimidex or another anti-estrogen immediately and it should go. away. When you come off you will need to do a PCT, post cycle therapy. You need clomid to help restart your natural test. I can send you a link where you can order it online. You should take 50mg per day of clomid for 3 weeks. Some people take 75mg the 1st week and then 50mg the 2nd and 3rd week. It's also recommended to take Nolvadex during pct to control estrogen. I've never needed it though. PCT start times differ depending what compounds you are coming off of. For test Enanthate you would start PCT 2 weeks after your last pin. The compounds need to clear your system before starting PCT or the pct is doing no good. I recommend running HCG while on cycle. Your natural test is shut down while on cycle. HCG mimics the signal your body sends to you testicles to keep them working. They won't shrink and they work like normal the whole time. Thing is your body still isn't sending the signal so when you come off it takes time for that to start back up but your testicles are already working so it happens faster. Without using HCG the signal has to turn back on and then once it does it takes additional time for your testicles to fire back up cause they've been dormant for 3 months. It just helps recovery and also keeps balls from shrinking.
Coming off a cycle sucks bad. Your natural test crashes and it takes around 6-8 weeks to recover. Maybe less if you run HCG. You feel like total garbage . Head fog, depression, tired all the time, decreased sex drive. You might want to have some cialis on hand for those 6 weeks. The clomid will help with that too. I got tired of crashing so I got on TRT. I basically blast and cruise. I blast a cycle for 12 weeks and then go back to TRT dose for 12 weeks. So basically I never crash. I just drop back to a normal healthy TRT level.
I think your 400mg per of test E is fine but just be ready to come off at 12 weeks and watch for gyno. You should always have arimidex on hand cause if you have an estrogen issue or gyno you will need it immediately. No time to order it and wait.
@@johnsiedlitzki8381
I bet your testosterone Enanthate is 250mg/ml. If so you are doing 500mg per week and that's fine. I'm doing 500mg per week of test E right now also, along with some other stuff too. I thought you got it from a pharmacy. Here in America test E usually comes 200mg from the pharmacy. The UGL test E (under ground labs) is usually 250mg/ml.

Your levels are most stable with the more frequent pins. EOD is slightly more stable levels than 2x/week. But you have a point in that the difference in blood levels between EOD and 2x/week are fairly negligible for enanthate or cypionate. Personally, I do EOD but I do sub-Q injections in belly fat.
