He's serious TB. That is why most guys don't feel the effect of starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for 3-8 weeks. The testosterone being added through injections is being offset by loss of natty test along with the delays caused by the ester. And a guy with healthy levels takes longer generally, all things being equal, to get to the point where the injections surpass natural test levels for him to feel it. Even perfectly healthy guys with TT of 700 take weeks to feel the effects of a cycle where they are injecting 500mg of test per week. if there is a euphoria that settles in after the first injection it is usually entirely a psychological effect.
While it's notable what your logic is getting at - and I'll agree to an extent in your logic but its application is flawed.
All else being equal - and I did basically phrase this as such in some prior posts in this thread - a testosterone injection will make someone feel better. You're right, some of that benefit can be psychosomatic/placebo but even if that's the case, my point still stands that virtually all guys will feel better with a testosterone injection. The degree by which they will feel better will differ - which is where your logic takes over.
However, the way you've phrased it - doesn't make sense. You're assuming that it takes week for test to be increased over baseline for healthy males. That's not true. I'm assuming you arrived at that conclusion, using the logic that you posted above - that the injection won't exceed their baseline production. What you didn't acknowledge in that logic is that UNLESS THE SHOT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN SAID PERSON'S TESTOSTERONE PRODUCTION AND WIPES OUT THEIR CURRENT TESTOSTERONE LEVELS (virtually impossible given a single injection), the injection will increase TT OVER their baseline.
A healthy male will feel the effects of injections, especially at non therapeutic doses (cycles), virtually immediately. Will the effects increase over time, as saturation and serum levels increase? Yes, we're absolutely in agreement there. Thats irrefutable, when all other factors are controlled.
Basically it boils down to this, the changes in a hypogonadal male may be more profound (they may go from feeling like garbage to feeling on cloud nine) but a non hypogonadal male will feel the effects just as quick, if not quicker, but they will not be as profound. They felt good in the first place, so it may be harder to detect that they're feeling even better.
If you're still following my tangent, now just apply this to how many threads that we see of I'M TWO WEEKS IN AND WHYS MY testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) NOT WORKING? (that's because their dose is too low/their serum levels haven't increased to an appreciable level to notice changes or other factors like estrogen being out of control, etc).
Now I can guarantee if you go to the AAS forums, you don't have guys two weeks into even a light cycle, saying WHY ISN'T MY CYCLE WORKING!? at the same rate that we have people making such claims in the testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) forum.
Cliff notes;
-More profound changes in hypogonadal males. You're taking them from 0-60. Not necessarily quicker changes - it will all be based on their dose. If I recall correctly, this guy took a 200mg or 300mg dose of T. I'd argue the majority of the time that's going to make a healthy or non healthy guy feel better (again if all other factors are in control)
-Less profound changes in healthy males. Not going from 0-60, going from 55 to 60. Quicker results, with all else being equal.
hahaha!
