Mgs vs T numbers question

[Frank White]

What's your thoughts or are there studies concerning how many milligrams a week raises a mans T level?? Example: if my total Test level is 200, and i'm on 100mg's a week, is there an approx number about how much my T level would increase? Say, 100 points per 100 mg's? I know everyone's different etc, so save those comments please. My above example is hypothetical...just curious in what you guys think from experience...

Tough to say.. Based on my own experiences and what I've generally seen on the forums, I would guess that 100mg of T would probably put your peak "around" 700-800 coming from a level of 200. I think that's probably the average, IMO. It's also really tough to not say "everyone is different"
I don't know of any studies that would show something like this.

You won't find a definitive answer. What you'll find is after time and experience, you'll get a feel for where people wind up and have at least an approximate estimate - but that can prove to be accurate or very inaccurate depending on the person and the situation.

Body weight and muscle mass definitely effect the equation.

An average healthy male generally produces somewhere around 40-70mg T per week. You can see how wide some of the acceptable lab ranges can be for total testosterone count with ranges from 250ish to 1200ish.

...but if you find a better answer, let me know.

Just like the guys above, the way our bodies react to exogenous hormones is completely independent of one another. Your lean body mass, fat percentage, cytochrome P450 enzyme propensity, and many others that modern science really hasn't discovered yet affect this by a great deal. If you're say 5'9 (average height around here) and 180lbs, I'd *guess* that you would probably peak around 650-700 at that dose provided there is a low enough body fat and not a huge deal of aromatase conversion going on. That's just a guess though, so take from that what you will.

So many factors, i know its tough to answer. Anyone else on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) who has honed their numbers in and can add their experience??? Thanks to all who contributed so far...

If it helps, my total testosterone was 120ng/dL and went up to 450ng/dL (mid peak/trough) on 100mg/wk. Keep in mind that I'm 6'7" and weigh over 350lbs. 250mg/wk puts me at 900-1100ng/dL (mid).

Here is a thread I started a while back with my experience and lab results trying to get dialed in. This may help you a bit.

It doesn't list where I finally landed with my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) protocol though. I am currently taking 100mg of test cyp and .25mg of arimidex every 3.5 days. That puts my TT at about 1180 for a trough and my E2 at around 43 using the regular assay. I'm feeling pretty good. Although, going back to the 50mg dose where I didn't need an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) may be something I do at some point in my life. I don't know how I feel about taking an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) for the rest of my life.

I hope this helps.
