High free test Low SHBG

Hi all, I’m 35, 6ft, 98 Kilo - no abs but not fat, train 4 times a week.
Recently had my bloods done while on a cycle, been on and off cycles for a few years now but this time round my sex drive tanked, gains didn’t happen and I felt like shit. After 8 weeks I sourced my gear from else where and nothing changed. The dosages I ran: 2xT400 and 2 x 0.5ml of EQ 300ml
My bloods came back:
Test 233

SHBG 6

LH and FSH were both <0.3

Free Test 9.7

Free Androgen 3629

The doctor said to cruise now on Test E 200 once a week for 12 weeks. Take HCG 500iu 3 times a week.

My question is, as my levels come back into a ‘enhanced range’ will I be more anabolic then I have been? or it is a case of levelling out and then feeling anabolic again once I go back to blast?

Apologies for the essay, any responses grateful

I think on 200mg test per week you will be able to make progress and “feel” anabolic. Is it prescribed? on 125mg test e per week my numbers were over 1500.

This sounds like a diet/training issue.

This means nothing without the lab ranges

What does this even mean?

Thanks I was hopeful that would be the case. I get my test from a good source but unfortunately it is not prescribed. As my levels were so high and I felt awful.
Can I ask, if you cruise at 125 what level do you blast on?

The doctor did address my diet, Breakfast and lunch are usually focused and strict but evening meals are very traditional family meals sometimes evening snacks admittedly

Apologies
Test 233 - 8.64/29

SHBG 6 - 18.3/54.1

LH 0.3 - 1.7/8.6

FSH 0.3 - 1.5/12.4

Free Test 9.7 - 0.2/0.6

Free Androgen 3629 - 24/104

I guess what I’m asking is, am I going to shrink with reducing the test so much. On a 200mg Test a wk, will I still ‘feel’ like I’m holding size.

What Dr are we talking about? The one that’s telling you to “cruise” on test?

Well I would say your test was good with this bloodwork so if you didn’t get results it’s diet/training.
I didn’t see any estrogen on bloods. Did you get that tested? Where you taking an AI with the 800/wk test you prob didn’t need? High estrogen would explain your issues.

You said it wasn’t working and now your saying it did and your afraid to lose size that you didn’t gain??

You don’t “feel” like you holding size. You either hold size or don’t. By your own words “gains didn’t happen” so what do you think you will hold on to? Water and glycogen?

It sounds to me you really don’t know how to put training/diet/drugs together. You can take all the gear you want but if the other two aren’t on point your spinning your wheels.

I didn’t take any AI at all, my Oestradiol was 157 - 41/159

The Dr I am currently taking advise off is the one who done my bloods. I was asking on here to see what other peoples thoughts were is all

Yes I understand you either hold size or you dont. I am currently holding size, Granted my diet could be cleaned up as I am currently around 22% BF.
The reason I have joined this forum is to gain knowledge on drugs and some nutrition as I am aware my training is good, nutrition can be improved and I have been reading peoples threads on here about their intake. Gear is what I am questioning as I am tyring to correct my levels but granted I want to blast and cruise for a bit rather then focusing on getting my levels as close to natural again

Start a training/diet log in the training logs section and tag me. Get a pic up so we can see your condition.
Here is a link to my log so you can see how I do it.

@s.gentz Thank you, I’ll take a look at yours now and create one myself this week

holy smokes I thought you were going by the US reference ranges. In the UK the test caps off at 52 for me so I was at least that which in US numbers would be over 1500.

I’ve only blasted twice, at 500mg test with dianabol once and 250mg deca the next. My next blast will be 750mg test and 300mg dhb.

Sorry never thought to add I was in the UK lol. Thank you for the info, I was definitely running my test too high and not supporting it with diet.

I’ve never heard of DHB before, had to google it :joy:
