Really Curious About Blood Test Results

[BrianP]

I could be wrong about this but if you search about Alistair Overeem (heavy weight fighter), he was tested positive for elevated test lvls


His levels were over 10 times the maximum ranger of normal testosterone levels of an adult...

I often see people here taking like 500 mg/wk or more and posting blood work here and the testosterone is no more than 2 times the normal maximum range ??

How the fuck did this dude get up to 10 times the normal test levels??

Am i understanding things wrong or was he taking retarded testosterone dosages lol?

"Natural test levels" range a lot.

Do you know what his actual numbers were?

Overeem did not test at 10 times normal. He tested at a 10/1 ratio of T/E. This is a test that compares Testosterone in the system compared to Epitestosterone. A normal ratio for a male is 4/1. He tested at 10/1 which suggests that he was adding exogenous Test to his system. Since T levels go up will pinning, Epitestosterone test does not.

Also keep in mind that most test results you see on here are done by a specific website whose test do not read over 1500. The test results will read ">1500." With the normal range being considered 300-800. Most individuals who are taking appropriately dosed test at 500 mg/week should see actual levels at or around 4000 ngl, but unfortunately the most accessible and afordable blood test does not go up that high.

X2 this
LabCorp provides the resources for most of the Internet bloodwork labs. The LabCorp test stops at 1500. As mentioned below.
The reality is that guys using 400mgs+ a week are well beyond 1500. Most people here believe more is better when it comes to test. IMO you are better off running test at a lower level (400-750mg) and adding additional compounds....just my .02
