is TRT dose dependent more on age or on bodyweight?

How TRT makes you feel/respond.

Docs will sometimes take you above the reference range if that dose makes you feel better. I tell my doc after years of use I feel best at slightly higher doses. (Libido, energy, mood, etc).

So it should be treated dynamically and based on how we feel, i agree. Seems to be this frozen protocol of 250 wk or less, or else youre just blasting/cycling.

I barely feel anything with 250 anymore. Medically, would a doc ever want a guy to go over 300 wk?

Agree. I think in cases where theres heavy use prior to crusing there has to be some desensitization I would assume. At 250 a week you probably have test levels in the normal range but its not what youre used to. Its like training natural. You would have to find a trt clinic if you wanted a dosage higher than 200mgs, unless you have a liberal doctor.

Most docs will go with a protocol of 100-200 mgs per week. They also use bloods more than feel. So if you can find a doc that will actually listen to you and dose by symptoms you are very lucky. Trt is designed to bring us to normal ranges.

^^^ this is true more times than not. The problem is that normalis subjective. The dynamics/feel route is better within reaon. No doctor is likely tocross the 300 mark ever. Tooo much worry about the perception from pharmacies and other docs. Sucks but true.

300mg per wk is a mild cycle at that point :thinking:

I also believe that TRT is dependent on some underlying health issues

50mg-200mg EW is TRT, over 200mg EW is a cycle.

I have seen docs do it but they were grey area anti-aging docs.

I have a legit Urologist/HRT specialist that has no problem with 200mg weekly though.

there are some rarer cases where more is acually needed due to abnormalitys like super high SHBG and/or other things. but id say for 90% of the people out there this is probibly the case above. :)

After you go off for a while 250 a week feel great again. Your body has acclimated to your higher weekly dosage, Believe me, you go off for a few months and the body resets.

due to the rise in SHBG and other binding protiens.
thats why some people think receptors need to be "cleaned" or what every else BS out there.
even if you dont care about health and only gains even then, taking time off or doing to HRT every once in a while is good.
