Upper limit for TRT?

[Natehayes]

In your opinion what is the upper limit for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dosing before it becomes something else

I realize it will be slightly different for each person depending on how they react to test, but was curiou what the general consensus was.

I was thinking the upper limit was somewhere around 200-300mg a week.

I'd say you are right that it depends on the person and their respective biological variables as well as the other meds used in one's protocol.

I would think that the upper bound for anyone would be a total test number around 1500-1600 ng/dl.

I accomplish that total test level by using 200 mg per week of test. It might take someone else 250 or 300 mgs to get to a 1500 - 1600 ng/dl point.

So, I don't think there is a "milligram per week" upper bound but rather a point on the blood test where the total test number approaches 1500 - 1600 ng/dl. I think most MDs would agree that point crosses the upper most bound of what a health male would ever experience naturally.

Of course, one also has to consider free test and some of the other critical metrics on their blood test as well.

500mg/wk is the upper end of the "limit" for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dosing. What most people don't really understand or comprehend is that most "bodybuilders" on a heavy cycle will use anywhere from 2000-4000+ mgs/wk of multiple applications. This is the primary reason that hrt/trt gets a bad rap amongst some communities. People just truly dont understand the differences between use, misuse, and abuse.

Interesting. Thanks for the responses!

My doc was worried that my 100mg a week was too much because it was raising my test to around 800. Ugh. Plus, that blood test was done the day after I did an injection. Normally I try to time my blood tests better, but I wound up having to see him for something unrelated and since he had to draw blood anyway he figured he would check my test levels at the same time.

I wish I wasn't in NY so I could sing up with Chip and also take advantage of those cheap blood tests Blondie wrote about.

why is ny a problem? I have a great deal of clients in new york, bro. Jump onto "team maximus"!!

I'm in NY and I've spoken to a few clinics that won't work with clients in NY. Then i signed up with Chip

I'm in the gun business and have found that a some companies won't ship guns to NY and some will. I'm sure it's the same with meds

NY is a pain in the ass

I had a problem getting my blood work done in MA. I went to the lab & they said they are no longer able to except e-orders for blood work......I had to drive to a lab in RI to get it done.

I agree with those that said it's not the MG to take but the amount of total test/free test in your blood work that should determine your upper limit (most would want healthy upper range).

Holy crap! For some reason I thought you were not able to work with people in NY.

I'm signing up now!

 

[DeusMalo]

Yup, I was on 400mg pre-Maximus and now with Maximus - I'm one of the people I guess that it ain't even getting me to the 1000 mark. Good to know there is still a little wiggle room.

alright! Nate is comming on board!
