200mg of TC/wk, 1900 test

That's why I say new guys should start with 250mg/week instead of 500. Save it for the later. It could be too much. You never know how well or not you respond, you can always up your dose. Test the waters first.

For reference I’m on EQ with test and my level of total test 2 weeks ago was 5700 ng/dl. Estrogen was 62. On Deca and Ancillary Tren as well.

wtf is ancillary tren!? LOL

Completely agree. Some might be grand at 500 and then again I've know some pals for whom it was the wrong decision. The starting at 400/500 or dont start at all is still everywhere though. There's a lot of impatience, and i get it as well - thinking what if a little more or change this or that. Especially for younger guys it can be hard to reign themselves in.

Hey guys. I’m pinning 57.5mg TC every other day, which roughly equals 200mg per week. I pinned last week: Tues, Thurs, and Sat. I got my blood drawn on Wed. Total test is 1924ng/dL and free is 573.1pg/mL. E2 hasn’t come back yet.

This seems really high for only 200mg/week. Also running primo at 100mg/week, pinned only 2x/

Doesn’t that equal out to 350 mg a week? How do you get 200 from those numbers? 200 is 50 twice a week.

4 weeks for example is 28 days. Pin EOD = 14 days. 14x57.5mg =805mg. 805mg/4=201.25mg

Lmao… it’s when you do 1.5g of Tren then snort the base powder as a preworkout….

…. Then realize you look like a 20 year old natty, wear goofy earrings, try to be a social influencer and have an equally unimpressive twin who looks just like you ….

I don’t disagree with this. It’s what I’ll do with my son. However, convincing someone to go that route nowadays seems like herding gerbils… let alone cats

Ancillary Tren

I just learned a new phrase that’s for sure

Everyone is different. 105 mg Test C and 1000 HCG weekly puts me at total 1600, SHBG high normal, and free 289pg/ml which is tip top of range for the lab I went to. You can't base your dosing off other people. You have to base it off your own lab results over time.

 

[BendigoShafter]

Right. It's ridiculous how different people are.

On 400mg test, my total was 729 ng/dL and free was 297 pg/dL with SHBG of 4 (extremely low).

That means that on almost 4x the dose, I have half the total testosterone of @UncleBuns but slightly more free T and over double the percent of free T (1.8% vs 4.0%).

Edit: I have literally no idea which of us is responding better, if that's even a thing.

100% so much individual responses to drugs it’s wild. Did a genetic test and found out I’m more susceptible to sides with TCA SSRIs due to me metabolizing the drugs slower which makes a lot sense because I tried amitryptaline for sleep once and it gave me orthostatic hypotension really bad.
