Thread: What is a healthy T level?

Is that extremely high or slightly high? What is a healthy level?

Before I started on the treatment I would workout and be exhausted for a week. Now I can workout and am fine the next day.

that would be a very high normal, the best you will get from legal TRT, but based on your previous levels you should be feeling like you're 18 again.

You can get over 1,000 using Androgel?

Believe I was at 360 the last time I was checked.

Yeah, sign me up for androgel, shit! I would take that test level any day. Post cycle I was right around that 280 something level, man I felt like shit. I would love to have my norm up at a thousand.

I was going to say, you know how many people would ditch the test if that was the case! I know I read if you put it on your shoulders and upper back it works better but never heard it works that well (then again I haven't read much up on it).

This is a great listen if youre on or considering trt. It starts at the 1 hour mark.

The same thing happened to me in May, my PCP tested me and my test level came back at 1000ng. Two weeks later i saw my endo and she was in shock it was that high, so she retested me and it came back at 250. According to my Endo the reason my test level came back high was because i had just put on the Androgel and the nurse drew blood from the same arm.

Unfortunately im one of those people who cannot absorb Androgel well. Or maybe fortunately since she changed me to Test E.

I just wanted to make sure that is not too high. I have been doing prescribed amount my dr told me and no more. My wife is convinced I am using too much because I get crabby with her LOL.
