I’m aware that T-Mag readers are some of the more knowledgable members of the lifting community. So here is my question and I hope I list enough detail in order to receive an adequate response.
I recently had my testosterone levels checked. My results were on the low range of the “normal male subject”. I clocked in at 20.9 nmol/L. The average male is said to be found between 8 nmol/L to 38 nmol/L.
My questions are the following:
Are my levels of testosterone high enough to make decent amount of gains?
Why are levels of testosterone given in other units of measurement. And how do you convert it from nmol/L to X(unknown unit of measurement).
Thanks for your time;)
Bill, do you have any idea on how to convert nmol/L to the American reference of measurement. (I think it is nanograms per decilitre or something). My testosterone usually hovers around the 4.5-5 nmol/L and I want to work out the conversion. Thanks
To convert nanomoles of testosterone
to nanograms, multiply by the molecular
weight of testosterone. I don’t have a Merck
Index handy, but I think it’s 288 (and if it’s not, that’s close enough.) So now you’d have
nanograms per liter. To convert this to nanograms per deciliter, divide by 10.
