I don’t think that 98% of men will end up at a dose of 150 or higher.
Just recently there was a survey done on this forum and about 45% of men stated that their dose is <150 mg per week with 20 to 25% saying that their dose is <100 mg per week.
On excelmale there is a similar thread about weekly T dose on TRT. Of about 37 men, 18 report to use a weekly dose of 100 or below.
I think that T nation has a certain bias towards lifter and younger men, while excelmale might be more representative of the average men on TRT.
Anyhow starting with 150 per week will trigger side effects in this relatively high proportion of men ending up at a dose of below 100 such as high HCT within weeks, anxiety attacks, high blood pressure etc. And it won’t allow you to find the lowest effective dose.
You wanna find a max starting dose at which >95% of men get into the physiological range of T without experiencing nasty side effects.
For young and healthy men 150 might be fine, but that’s not your typical TRT patient out there.
