My stepdad just started TRT this past week at 200 mg Test C twice weekly for the next 3 months. He 6’3 and 290 lbs, not in shape. My only experience with AAS is from a bodybuilding perspective but that sounds more like a beginner’s cycle to me. He couldn’t tell me what his TT and FT were. The MD is from a reliable local urology practice. Any input? Thanks!
This is very surprising. Most men on TRT take 150-200mg once weekly. That dose will put him way over the high range even at trough, and even higher closer to injections.
After reading more on normal TRT dosing, I think the instructions were written wrong on the packaging honestly, he’s going to call for clarification tomorrow. He swears the dr told him 1 mL twice a week though lol.
I’m sure it’s 200 mg a week split into two. It won’t kill him. But he might run out of dose if he doesn’t understand the presciption. His doc is a regular run of the mill doc who doesn’t specialize in trt. I highly don’t 400mg is what he gave him.
Tell your dad to split that 200 into two doses and that’s good enough. I would suggest daily though. Probably a more successful approach. Less side effects. Balanced serum levels and etc.
Go read the bottle it’ll say on their what the doc wrote. If it still says 400 tell him to just take 200.
Unless your dad has a 150 SHBG and other issues where he needs that much T.
