Yet there are virtually NO blood results on this or other boards showing Testosterone numbers higher than I have mentioned. And unless you are juicing for bodybuilding, you will rarely read any suggestions to increase your T levels over 1500.
For the average male, 1000ng/dl corresponds to about 150mg to 200mg of supplemental testosterone per week, depending on the individual’s metabolizing ability. Source
At 1500 which for most people would be about 200 mg a week
So based on this information, your example of 140mg injection, would likely give you 1400 T levels at the PEAK of your injection, with much lower rates at the valley. My T is currently at 1441 ng/dL stable. My stable T is higher than the peak of the average injection.
High testosterone levels like this [>1500] could be ok if you have high SHBG/free T. Because if you can’t bring SHBG down you have to increase T high enough to compensate.
I’m actually not confused and can support what I am seeing with labs. The last quote has a very interesting comment – if you can’t bring down the SHBG, you have to increase T high enough. Comments like that reinforce my thought process that I should have tried Danazol or Proviron to lower SHBG before undertaking TRT.
Another forum poster commented “More T doesn’t mean lower SHBG for everyone.” And that is what I see. It wasn’t until my T levels were over 1400 that my doctor realized that something else needed to be done as T supplementation alone wasn’t working.
My labs: Sustained High T levels did NOT reduce my shbg.
