30 days on TRT I'm at 1157ng ( Hulk Test Prop 100 @ 50mg EOD)
All is great aside from acne on my shoulders and arms, hopefully its temporary. I will ride this for another 2 months and test again and possibly lower the dose to 40mg EOD if the acne doesn't ease up.
Ordered from:

Update: I tapered back 40mg EOD and test is 1173 and 29.9 free. RBC was high, HDL (low) and LDL high.
Cut back to 30mg EOD
Remove Sat fats
Increase fish oil intake
That's not a healthy level for TRT. High levels of test, over a period of time, have many significant health risks, so you need to get that in a normal, healthy range.
That being said, +1 for testing and posting. Keep testing and get your levels in range for long term health.
Yes totally agree, is a bit higher then I would have expected. I was thinking 600-800ng would be ideal. Will tapper back if my next test in 30-60 days is still above 800's. Right now I'm still validating that I feel off do to low T. Looking good so far though.
Thanks for looking out
Sounds good. Please keep us updated.
+1 for testing. Thanks.
JHWhy the prop for TRT? ...+1 for the bloods
I know test E/C is most common for trt, however I chose prop because with the short ester I could more easily get my range to desired level without much lag time until I find a good level to cruise at. Once i get stable I may switch to Test- E/C for convenience.
What level are you trying to be at for TRT? My doc just started me and wants me at a stable 600. Of course I want to be at a higher level but isn't it unhealthy to have levels that high for the rest of your life? I will run test c and switch to prop before I see doc to get my levels a little lower
Good for you finding a Doc to supervise. Yes, not ideal to be at these levels for long, ideally I want to be around 600-800 long term. I know others that use the same dose and their levels are a lot lower then me. I choose prop so I can quickly scale it up/down easily and test every 30 days to see if TRT is suitable for me. What did the Doc prescribe you with, Test Cyp?
Is there a defined level where your body starts building muscle? Like for instance your level is a stable 1000 you will start to see elevated muscle growth. I see ppl in the 4,000, isn't that crazy high and un necessary?
Yeah 4000 is high but it depends on the goal. That's definitely not a TRT level, but probably a short term cycle. Sweet spot for TRT seems to be between 600 and 800 from all my reseach. Cutting my dose by 10mg on the 1st to see if that gets me to that range.
I read a study that tested body builders and some tested north of 12000.
Yes good ol Watson. 180 mg once a week puts at 600
