Well actually looking over what I've stated may have created even more confusion so let me try it again.
The 10 rule can only be used AFTER SS levels are achieved using a FIXED dosage.
So really the 10 X rule is the sum of ones previous SS nadir AND peak values.
Almost all of the studies were conducted on TRT patients who were supplementing T-c,(once or twice a week) over a SEVERAL WEEK interval!
Thus if someone wants to use the 10 rule to better appreciate the "quality" of their AAS, a PEAK level obtained at roughly 24 hours after the last pinning should approximate TEN times the dose used.
Importantly bc TT must reach an equilibrium with that individual's volume of distribution, attempts to estimate the PEAK level using the 10 x rule before SS levels are reached are notoriously inaccurate.
So one can't do a TT double dose from baseline, vary the dosage, dosing interval or THE ESTER, bc any of these will effect SS values.
Finally providing the OP was following all these provisos, a PEAK level of 2164ng/DL was consistent with a dose of 250mg.
