For anyone who has gotten blood work done on a cycle with high test 400+ weekly, what was your total and free test sitting at? Also, how much of a difference would there be in 2200 ng/dl compared to like 2500 ng/dl, for example? What would you guys say for someone running 500 a week would be a poor responder? Under 1600 ng/dl? I haven’t seen many people specifically talk about this, but I want community feedback about test levels on high doses and what test level per amount of test per week would you consider someone a poor responder? in the same token, what amount of test and test levels would you consider someone a good/great responder? is there a general consensus? Thanks guys!
there seems to be this spouted info, that guys like to say that every 200/250 should have someone over 1000/1500'ish, yeah maybe if bloods were pulled the next day or so.
I have always been a low responder, but I have always had great FT, especially when using MastE or proviron.
This can go so many ways, I have seen hyper responders too, guys that score silly high on just 125mg of test.,
I think what's most important is that people should pull FT and SHBG when getting bloods, and avoid capped tests (obviously). Of course estro as well.
Even with questionable total scores, its best to look at where FT levels are, along with SHGB and go from there.
Its not about how much TT we have, but how much FT we have working for us at that given moment, with that snap-shot..
Is there a window that people should fall into and expect to be in? Sure, we can have an outline and where we can expect to be, but if we don't reach that, that's when we look at other contributing factors.
Keep in mind, that testing time is huge.. There will be Cmax time vs tampering down.
A great responder IMO would be anything above 1200ng/dl on 125-150mg Test (long esters)
Test prop or other short Test esters can send someone through the roof for a short duration (cMax) if testing the next day, these results (dose depending) can be superficial. Its all about timing.
Always test for:
TT
Free T
Estro
SHBG
This was one of my recent bloods, I tested a bit to soon due to scheduling. SHBG was LOW, I'll have to look for that portion, It was just a wellness check, TRT..
200mg test cyp, 200mg mastE
