I am not sure about that.
I browsed a bit through the forum and extracted the data of 26 members; weekly dose, injection frequency and total T. Correcting measured total T, which mainly is trough values, by the established PK profile of T results in the graph below - showing average TT levels.
Average TT levels of the different dosage ranges are:
50 - 80 mg/week 680 ng/dl
85 - 110 mg/week 850 ng/dl
140 - 160 mg/week 990 ng/dl.
Of course the variability between men is high and factors like SHBG need to be considered in the treatment. But to get a mens total T level to on average of 680 ng/dl with a starting dose of 50 - 80 mg/week is perfectly reasonable. If you dont feel fine, increase your dose. Maybe at higher dosages men run into side effects such as high HCT or high E2.
A medical society sets the recommended starting dose by balacing benefits vs risks and that makes absolutely sense. Thats also the reason why a starting dose of 75 mg/week is recommended for XYOSTED which was recently approved by FDA.
