Calculating Testosterone needs

Calculating Testosterone needs

I know that my total test levels are in the lowest of the normal range at 299 mcg/dl. (I think that is how it is measured) So that should make some of you feel good about yourself.

(I do not know free T level)

My question: Is there a method or formula for calculating one’s minimal requirement for synthetic testosterone (AS) if one knows their current level.

In other words, My normal test level is 299 mcg/dl then the minimal amount of Enanthate needed per week would be ________ mg.

I need help filling in the blank.

Thanks

If you are using test as part of your cycle then you need to start off at a low dose and see how your body reacts. I would start off between 400-500mgs every week.

I think the key thing your missing is supression. In other words, Natural Production + AS are not additive. If I naturally produce 900 and you produce 299 and we both start taking 500mg/week of test it would supress anything our body is producing naturally making my 900 and your 299 essentially 0. Hope that make sense.

Did you just come off of a cycle? Or is that your normal level?

When was the blood drawn? Peak level is during the morning hours before lunch.

Yes this is my normal level. (How sad)
I have never done AS. Trying to decide if I want to include it in my first cycle.
Probably taken after lunch.

I understand that it will suppress us equally. What I am trying to determine is what the MINIMAL amount of test needed (if at all) is, and if I can determine this by examining my normal level. Blanket statements like “beginners start at 500mg” seem generic. I like to know how to tailor things to my body.

Also, if your levels are at 600 and mine are at 300 pre-cycle, do you expect both of our levels to return to that pre-cycle amount?

My goals are not formed around just gaining size. I posted a cycle with an EQ/Winstrol stack and it got no good reviews. So I am trying to decide how to modify it. I would really like to save the test for a future cycle.

Thanks for the help

Sounds like a plan. I will do some research to see if I can find any thing that compare synthetic to natural test...we'll get back to this...in the meantime...

What is the least test anyone has used and what was the result?

Start at 500 and see how it goes for you.
