Just got my results back and curious what everyone thinks in regards to my levels. I'm 33, have 15 years of training under my belt. Currently 199lbs at 5'10.

Total Test: 486 ng/dl. 250-1100
Bioavailable Test: 158.6 ng/dl. 110-575
Free Test: 80.5 pg/ml 46-224
SHBG: 26 nmol/L. 10-50
Albumin: 4.3 g/dl. 3.6-5.1
LH: 4.7 miu/ml. 1.7-8.6
Estradiol: 34 pH/ml 7-50


I have more labs but figured those were the main ones. Ranges are to the right. Thanks!

are you on any meds, have you or do you have low t symptoms?

 

[DomPerryOn]

No meds. In the past couple years I have felt a noticeable decrease in energy. In the afternoon I feel like taking a nap. I feel I am able to work out and go on a run but it's as if I'm starting on an empty tank.

How old are you bro? if your older like me then your ok, i get up at 6am each day and need a nap in the afternoon.
as far as running on an empty tank can i address your diet and lifestyle? do you drink booze? eating alot of sugar or drinking alot of soda pops? Have you ever had any serious back injuries?

Do you drink beer or booze on a regular basis or anything else that is mind altering? take alot of cialis to keep it up for the wife/gf?

I ask about the booze only because 3 years ago i had a buddy who started to show all types of low t signs, slept all day, increased bodyfat, ate junk food at all times of the day and night (which didnt help the situation) but this buddy worked at the local pub tending bar and needless to say drank alot of beer. In his defense he is Irish stock so beer for him is like water to a normal person. but still he showed all the symptoms. He was also an avid bodybuilder for over 12 years and was used to boozing and building.

In his 12 years of bodybuilding and boozing he cycled over 10 times and was as big as a house but at some point he started to show the low t sides and became worried and got labs done and got off the sauce, which for an Irishman means he cut back to a case of beer per day and got on TRT. I suspect age was also the determining factor as he was nearing the age of 45.

Has stated in my original post I am 33 years old. I have a long history of competitive sports and my diet isn't the issue. I drink at maximum maybe one or two drinks a week if that. I don't really eat any junk and my macros are currently 80f/250c/180p.

I don't drink soda and have maybe one cup of coffee in the morning.

Here is a chart showing averages. 486 test is close to the bottom of the range. Average at 33 looks about 600. Free test 80.5 looks right about average, converting the units to about 8 ng/dL.

Different recommendations per country too though.
In my country, the average at 33 (my own age) would be closer to 525-550.
Which still puts you at lower end but its not low low.

thats good to hear, what do you drink? i drink alot of electrolight boosters that i buy at the pharmacy and are pharma grade and so much better for you than that watered down koolaid that they call gatoraid. and i drink a gallon of water per day and a half gallon of milk per day as well and all is good with my plumbing down there.
