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

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.

▲ Haga clic para contraerCuando 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.

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.
For me TRT is the maximum dosage that the body can tolerate without :
-Increases in hematocrit
-Need for Anastrozole
Or any other medication to control side effects
If you pay attention, your body will send clear signals when the dosage is too much to handle
-Increases in hematocrit
-Need for Anastrozole
Or any other medication to control side effects

Sorry b
ut TRT is not "the maximum you can tolerate."
It's a medical approach aimed at improving the quality of life for men.
Otherwise, if I agree with you, my TRT is 500mg all year round. That would be stupid.

Impossible to go on 500 mg for years without any side effects.
For me it is about maximising my day and enjoying the right levels of energy and mood vs before trt feeling tired,less smily. Being able to excerise in a enjoyable way is good enough for me. I did think of cycles,blasts and cruise but I don't think it is for me. I respect that people choose other routes,I don't want to maximise the volume of mg to see if I cope.Coping with something is not what I want achieve but understand your point of view. Just adding another point of view on it.For me TRT is the maximum dosage that the body can tolerate without :

II share this opinion that TRT is meant to keep you in the normal range of 700/900, and I add that to maintain the maximum dose your body can tolerate...
You should have monthly blood tests for at least 12 months to have realistic long-term references and comparisons, then biannual tests for life. Your tolerance won't be the same at 40/50/60 or 70 years old...
You should have your prostate checked biannually or annually for life, as it inherently has a tendency to grow with age.
And other things I'm forgetting...
Also, in my opinion, just as the difference between a 1000 cycle of testosterone vs. 1500 doesn't guarantee better results and almost certainly guarantees greater health risks, a TRT of 125 vs. 200... Nor does it guarantee a better quality of life vs. risk, and it also requires more thorough health monitoring with monthly tests.
But as an anabolic steroid user... I'm not one to question other approaches, whether someone else believes or has tested them with better results.
