@highpull, how many of your patients have obtained symptom resolution with 50mg a week?
From what I have observed, this often equates to chemical castration in most men. Again, there are small exceptions.
So just to be clear, Trump banging porn stars at 441 doesnāt mean another guy with a 441 will want to bang porn stars? I have no evidence either way, just want your opinion.
These were published in study. I dont have the link off the top of my head.

Thanks this is good info
How many has @highpull ever let try 50mg a week? Instead, most docs I hear say hematocrit doesnāt matter, go give blood, your red face will resolve, your high blood pressure will resolve, etc.
Did you see this study showing very consistent numbers with multiple men?
I was on trt INCLUDING ANASTROZOLE, for 7 years. My doctor said that I needed anastrozole to keep my E2 within range. The prevailing belief on these forums, was that we should keep our E2 on the sensitive test, around the low 20ās.
I had severe foot an ankle pain that I lived with on a daily basis. And then after 7 years of listening to the trt āauthoritiesā, I decided to listen to @dbossa when he told me how to stop taking anastrozole. And guess what? After I stopped the anastrozole, my joint pain is completely gone. And guess what else? Iāve never felt better than I have now, on the protocol that @dbossa suggested. I have a feeling of well-being that I have never felt on trt, when I listened the the āauthoritiesā.
And I bet you can guess who Iām going to ask first, if I have any trt related questions.
I canāt believe how often @dbossaās words have been taken out of context. And how often people here completely misrepresent what he actually says.

I have seen men with sub 300 total T having libido through the roof. I have seen others with 1500 with zero libido and once they hit 1800 libido returns.
The serum level itself doesnāt mean much. In some men, the tiniest amount of T has a high effect. In others, they need a ton.
There are some guys who feel a difference when adjusting their dose by a mere 10mg a week and wind up with crazy anxiety. I can change my dose by 100mg a week and not feel much of anything. Example: if I go from 300 to 400 there is no change, so why take 400? If I go from 250 to 300 there are some minor symptoms that improve and 50mg is what you take a WEEK.
I donāt care about anyoneās dose or serum levels. They are meaningless to me. I care about what they would need to take to feel NORMAL. Not a superhuman. Not a porn star. Not a jock. Just NORMAL.
You feel fantastic on 50mg a week. Youād most likely feel like shit on my dose and vice versa. I have zero side effects or symptoms at my dose which would get utterly destroyed with 50mg a week.
As you can see, I donāt care either way. Zero bias here. I can tell you, with absolute certainty, the vast majority of men feeling normal who started with issues and then got on TRT mostly wind up with a free T of 25 at the minimum. Again, with exceptions.
I canāt be more clear. I only report what I have observed over the years and I have a mountain of evidence to support my claim.
Does this clarify my position?
He prescribes the minimum dose required to resolve symptoms, whatever that dose is.
You keep bringing up numbers and I keep demonstrating they are irrelevant.
I pretty much agree with all of this.
Having said that, I play golf every Sunday with 7 other natural dudesā¦every single one of them wants to bang the cart girl and canāt stop talking about it. Statistically they are running around 400-500 TT. Thatās got to mean something.
Itās at the point that I should just write everything out once, and then do a copy paste to answer the accusations. I just repeat and repeat and it doesnāt matter how many times I do. This entire thread is a prime example. A critique of my position when it wasnāt my position whatsoever. I then clarify my position and it continues to be taken out of context. Not to mention, I always felt that I was a good communicator. Itās as if I have to find the words they want to hear before they get it, so I keep having to explain it until they do.
Even the AI stuff. What do I care? Iāve seen the light. Itās bad to block estradiol. Iāve been drowned in literature on the subject and Iāve had it demonstrated first hand thousands of times. I see men daily improve tenfold who ditched the stuff (like you). Yet, everyone still holds on to their confirmation bias and canāt open their minds to anything else, when all they have is their own personal experience to go on. Iām being fed information on an almost daily basis by physicians all over the world. What they see working, what they see not working, and why. Then I need evidence, which they provide.
Iām a critical thinker. I donāt believe anything until I can verify it and see it for myself first hand. Then I report it.
āā¦ But itās just Danny Bossaās opinion!ā
Sigh
Yes. It means they are healthy and their receptors are primed to make use of a ānormalā level of testosterone. You and I would love to be like them, right? I wish. The unfortunate reality is that we arenāt. This isnāt just you and I. Itās becoming a pandemic that will only get worse. DNA damage from the pollutants of this world that gets passed down by every generation. It is what it is. I just want to feel normal and healthy and Iāve achieved that.
Can you now say that you better understand my positon and that you had previously misunderstood?
Look at the thread that was literally just posted. The guy feels night and day going between 110 and 120 mg of week. A 10mg a week difference! Do you think I feel the slightest bit of difference by changing my weekly dose by 10mg? I barely feel a difference changing my dose by 100 mg!
Dose is irrelevant and serum levels are irrelevant. I know it sounds nuts but I can assure you it is true.
Dude Iām pretty much sure I can repeat your position better than you can. I donāt think anyone is in doubt of your position. Itās more a matter of your emphasis. You think Iām an outlier but Iām absolutely not an outlier compared to my golfing buddies. Now that Iām 50mg a week, Iām finally able to join in with my natty golf buddies and talk about that cart girls ass.
Zero. If I recommended 50mg a week, he wouldnāt be a patient. Even the uninitiated know better.

Thatās what I figured. Never tried so has no idea how they would respond therefore useless.
So when they are going about the cart girl you are just sitting their saying, āI dont know what the fuck you guys are talking about, I dont see itā
No, youāre completely missing the point.
You are comparing your serum levels with their serum levels. This is where you are getting things wrong. Serum levels are not an indicator for anything. I can get a hundred men with that same serum level you have and they will all feel different.
Remarkable isnāt it? Some of us shoot in the 70s others of us shoot in the 90s and a couple of us canāt break 100. But all of us canāt stop talking about that cart girlās ass. And weāre all hanging out with a TT of 4-500.
Yep when I had no libido, sex to me was like watching a gardening show.
