Be more precise on numbers … give examples.
No.
Yes indeed.
100000, quatrillion
Low dose can be any number below 200mg! What the hell is this guy even talking about. lol I hate these type of videos. They say a lot without saying anything at all.
Exactly, what I was thinking? Like what’s considered a low dose to you sir ?? Only good thing about this video is the comment section, where all us guys trying to feel great and enjoy life to its fullest! We learn from each other, and I appreciate that!
Holy shit I wasted my life watching that video you’d think this guy could give examples like 90mg a week 60mg etc not even a single example.
Yeah I know , what an idiot
th-cam.com/video/fP_kBPNuW9Y/w-d-xo.html
I’ve been to 2 Urologist Dr.’s, and an endocrinologist, and they all seem dumb AF. I’ve learned more watching TH-cam than talking to them asking questions.. and they are all hesitant on prescribing me TRT with levels of 140, at 47yrs old.
Would have been nice to have actually given some useful numbers. Waste of time
Stop concerning about numbers and ranges and be concern about symptoms. So simple: If 800 ng/DL is not solving the symptoms, increases the dose until symptoms gone. If you feel perfect on 1200 ng/ dL stay on it.
Treat the patient, not the numbers. That said, you still need to number to help monitor the rest of your body's functions and to keep everything in balance. Too much can be a bad thing but you can't tell that without the numbers.
I'm not sure what the purpose of this video was. It seems to answer nothing that anyone watching this video is likely to be looking for.
0.20 ml is low for me i was on it at the start and feeling like dog doo ! After three months and a massive migraine i decided to crank up the dose on my own to 0.30 ml and wow the light came on for me feeling amazing
You didn’t tell me anything of use!
Numbers would have been nice- Why do Hacks make Videos?
higher the dose the thicker the blood and some people that give blood doesn't even decrease this.
What a hack. He said nothing of use.
So I take 100mg a week. That too low? My levels are well above the ranges for TT, FT, E2. Appreciate your commentary, but it’s a bit basic and obvious: some more details may be helpful here.
Well how do you feel? Some people feel great on 80mg some may need 200. I’m new to this too but numbers almost mean nothing if you feel like shit
Well, I’m somehow feeling less informed after this 🤔🤷🏼♂️🤣
I think it would be helpful to present an example in the form of:
Given x gender and y natural test levels, z could be considered a low dosage depending on other variables
i feel grat on 500mg/week, making gains consistently since last 2 years, feel a bit bloated too, sometimes bit dizzy but otherwise great
@@Truth621 started off a bit of blasting, but 500 seems to work well for me as trt dose, I like it, making gainssssss
@@mooooooooooomooooooooooomo6829 again....that's just a endless cycle.
Any hairloss from that dosage?
@@creamycrypto5782 there is a "finna-something" tablet I take to keep them hair gains
@@Truth621 Exactly
Is 400mg/month considered low dose?
400mg is wat too high . try 150mg inject every 5 day, see if it feels better, or split it and shoot 2x times per week, seee what feels better, it also depends when you take bloodwork after injecton, if you take bloodwork the day after inject it will be high, 3-4 days after it will be low
@ I’m taking 100/week. That’s 400/month. You just told me to do more than that lol
@ my levels were 280 and 2.8 I think. I’m 38.
Haha I think from all the research I have done 100mg to 125mg is a good spot to start
How are you feeling now @@gamebred88
Anti-aging clinics recommend dose, 200mg a week.
Urologist/Endocrinologist doctors recommend dose, 50mg a week.
Does low dose TRT supplement shut down endogenous testosterone production? I would doubt that. Where is the literature that shows that low dose TRT shuts down production of own testosterone?
It does, man. I thought the same thing as you once, but you will get shut down regardless of dose. If your body does not make it (and it does in pulses) and has a continuous flow in the blood, the HPTA will cut down production.
@@davincibz1 cut down production or shut down? Has there been a scientific research that actually shows data on this? Also, once TRT is stopped has there been a study that shows whether endogenous production of testosterone eventually resumes to pretreatment level?
@@ocwaveoc69its a fact man
@@ocwaveoc69 Listen carefully: its all or nothing. Natural testosterone and exogenous testosterone DO NOT WORK TOGETHER. Its a hormone, not a vitamin supplement.
Yes, that's why its not advised. TRT does not supplement. Its all or nothing. Otherwise, you will shut down your body's natural production (even though its low) and replace it with an even lower exogenous dose. Effective, you went from bad, to worse.
You basically said nothing! No examples of a low dose, or scenarios with guys you know, trying this and that,, Nothing!
This dr. Dont know a shit about how testosteron is working. He dont know what low dose is. All this doctors giving clients wrong test and 1 time a week injections. Some stupid dr. Say 1 injection evere 14 days. And most clients feel shit
Now now, don't get angry
The question that none of these so called TRT experts seem to know the answer to is, "Should one stay at the lower end of the normal range or at a higher end of normal range thats conducive to longevity ?" For example if my T levels are 150 should I take an exogenous amount that brings my levels upto 400 or brings it upto 1000 ? Both 400 and 1000 are normal T levels in a healthy adult male. 400 is on the lower normal range and 1000 is at the higher normal range. Ofcourse everybody knows quality of life improves the higher you go but it can shorten your life. Thats why bodybuilders on juice dont live long. So question is for longevity, should you aim for a 400 or a 1000 ?
"Bodybuilders on juice" are on 2-3x+ the highest TRT dosage stacked with multiple other anabolics, growth factors, and whatever else. BB has little to do with health as a goal. I'd hesitate drawing any life expectancy comparisons between BB's and TRT patients. One possible answer would be to have a man's complete hormone profile tested when in his young prime as a baseline for that individuals' own optimal levels. That may serve as better healthy guideline for future hormonal optimization. Certainly the "normal" reference range is not an ideal guide.
@@counterbalancelife4305 Please read my question again. Clearly you did not understand what I was asking
@@NotBob-zw3zw I could have been mistaken. This was my interpretation:
You aren't sure whether adjusting your (now abnormally low) T level to the lower part of the "normal" range or the higher part of the "normal" range would be best for longevity's sake, correct?
I'm suggesting you wouldn't have a good starting guide unless you knew your total and free T levels from your prime. That would be your non TRT "normal". This seems to be very individual while the reference range is generic.
You didn't mention symptom relief, however, and a low T state (which seems to also be individual) is shown to adversely effect the heart which would be a longevity factor to consider.
I'm in this situation and trying to find my sweet spot. Without an earlier healthy reference test to look at I started low and and working my way up, noting symptom relief along the way. Longevity is a concern for me as well.
My point about BB's is that they are not a group to look at as examples of men in high end of the T reference range. Their BB period is spent at levels far, far above it. They should be considered, at best, freak outliers with regard to TRT health implications.
I don't know cuz I have only read but I've read don't look at the number go by how you feel
Doctor did that to my step dad, giving him ½cc 100 mg every 2 weeks. Dumb. I told him he needed at least 100 mg per week of cypionate, once he switched to every week at 100 mg he feels amazing
I'm 43 and took test off and on my entire life.. The doc just prescribed me 1cc every month!!!!! That's ridiculous!!! I'm male BTW. This is just a friends account. But yeah.... 1cc would be OK if it was every week but the frequency is all wrong. The lifespan is waayyy too short to do once a month
@@tonij9089 you should ask your doctor how a compound with a half-life of 10 days is going to be effective for a full month. Sorry bro that's just dumb of them
Never gives anything quantitative. For example...
Let's be more specific please, some are seeking guidance.
Wow how do you talk so much without saying anything?? Click bait yeah??
Its an acquired skill
You are rude! Must be an American.
I kinda blanked out after 1.5 minutes or so, your not alone.
@@Thatsbannanas-d8c you sound mad that he is correct. Talking without giving any info. But you enjoy your third world country while using AMERICAN websites kid.
Now now, don't get angry.
The the doage matter. Isn't the effect as measured in your blood work the most important?
no balls anymore but i am at 200mg sust a week and some masteron.....feeling great after 3 weeks and flying in the gyn
Hey mate were you on a lower dose before that?
@@petebeat1510 no
@@kurnaztilki-m6o should see some good gains on that dose!
Hey man what do you mean by no balls anymore?
@@markkappouta9169 I'm guessing he means his balls have really shrunk.. it can happen on testosterone
It's a sad day when some call be called a doctor, yet dose not reference data or do any form of quantification. Pathetic.
It's crazy that this guy gives patients advice.. he knows less than an 18 year old gym bro! Do your research please guys. Find a well regarded clinic who are up there speed with the latest information and dosing protocols. If your doing TRT for the gym... Don't do it..if you are doing it as you are low and want to get your levels back in to mid to high normal range with good bloods and good blood pressure whilst est mg well sleeping well and exercising then your good to go! Just find a knowledgeable clinic and remember.. it doesn't work for everyone. I spent 2 years dialling it in and I eventually stopped.. as I felt no real benefit for the possible risk. But that's your call
Is 100mg enanthate per week a low dose?
This guy doesn;t know anything. Dont ask him. Usually 200 mg is the standard dose. but everyone metabolizes T differently. you want the lowest amount of drug to do the job. if 100 mg does the job then don't go higher. after you do you 100 mg do test your levels. you want to be slightly higher than average but within normal range. if 100 mg puts you there, great. if it don't then raise it a little bit.
@@NotBob-zw3zw 200mg isn't the standard dose as there is no standard dose. And 200 is usually too high. That's a mini-cycle
So, you are *AGAINST* all testosterone replacement?
No when it is medically appropriate and helps patients, it can be life changing.
you could have at least gave us a basic mg amount, other than that it makes alot of sense, yes i know every one is differebt but its mostly around 100mg e5d to start
Dosing is key and for many men it is somewhere between 100mg-200mg total per week. Injection frequency can vary but usually every 3 to 7 days is adequate.
“Make sure you keep your dose at our ultra high and unnecessary starting dose, don’t come back here with any complaints, and make sure you schedule an appointment every 10 Weeks, because our partner pharmacy is breathing down our necks”
So why did you make this video again? You didn't provide a speck of information at all!
What dose would you recommend for a 35yo female with TT 21 and FT 1.7? Not active but walk 3-4 miles every day. Thanks
Probably a healthy dose of ask your doctor lol. You need your blood work looked at before someone can tell you how much to take
I went from 100 mgs of test cyp every 5 days..the first 5 yrs was a honeymoon. I stopped for no reason for 8 months, Ive since been on for about 14 weeks gradually increasing it i am now on 300mgs (pharma grade) every 5 days, I know I know thats a bit hight. Issue is, I feel exactly the same 🤷♂️ No real pos ot neg? Is this normal?
nice blast, don't continue on that high
@@mooooooooooomooooooooooomo6829 im down to 100mgs 2 x a week with nandrolone and I feel it more 🤷♂️ strange. For me a littl goes a long way. Thanks
@@DrewPWebos thats not a little thats very high about twice as much as the norm
@@Actionjaxon22 im back down to my .5 every 5 days. It was a pretty dumb question on my end everyone is different. I, for some reason respond better to a lower dose. I went as high as 400 mgs per week or 1cc 2 x a week for a few weeks. Just got Bloodwork back and it came back very well (The small blast was discontinued before my 6 month BW) The body is an incredible machine and adjusts pretty darn fast (again, everyone is diff)
Is sustanon 100mg/week ok dose for TRT?
This guy is not even making sense. Who does this ultra low dose t ? does this guys brain even working ? you do testosterone replacement because you want your t level to be raised back upto what it was when you were younger. your dosage should be such that your t level mimic what your normal levels were. Never heard of this nonsense before. people either do high dose as in bodybuilders or low dose as in getting back to normal range. never ever heard of such a thing as to ultra low dose. whats the point ? To raise your T from 150 to 165 ? what a waste of everyones time. next time make video about something that makes sense. for example how doe t levels affect longevity WITHIN the normal range.
His message was easy to understand. MY primary dr put me on 1 shot 200mg a month & 3 days were good & the rest of the month nothing & I was watching YT & figured out that's useless. Then he changed it to 100mg every 2 weeks. Referred me to a endo but didn't have an app. for 2 months. I went to a TRT clinic & started 150 a week then 160 then now 170mg for past 4 weeks. Feel much better.
fair easy to follow mate. basically if you have lower than your body is currently kicking out it wont add to it, it was make that as the new baseline
@@tinkletoesrusIts easy to follow and useless information. This is like saying If you are thirsty drinking 1 drop of water will not help. May as well drink nothing. Nothing difficult in what hes saying. Just redundant and useless.
@@TraderRoss Its easy to understand no doubt but its useless information. This is like saying If you are thirsty drinking 1 drop of water will not help. Of course it wont. May as well drink nothing. Nothing difficult in what hes saying. Just redundant and useless.
@@TraderRoss Maybe find a dr that knows WTF he is doing. Test does not last 1 month or 2 weeks. lol Great dr.
My sweet spot is 125 mg / week
What is low dosage?
My doctor put me on androgel 1.62% which i figured it wouldn't work and my testosterone went from 454 to 298 🤣🤣 SMH
I'm 48 and I've been on trt. Since my thirties and I'm on 30p mg week and feel great.
whats 30p?
da fuck is 30p?
@@executiveinvestments If I was to guess, 30mg would be a low dose TRT, while 300mg would be bodybuilding levels. But I don't know if any clinics do such low doses.
@user-BobbyM9864 no.. studies have proven that it actually helps against cardiovascular issues and doesn't negatively effect the prostate
Nothing burger
Not Foreign Figures as the background music 😮
Dosage will always depend on the individual. This "Dr." doesn't know what he's talking about. For example, I'm on trt at .6mg bi- weekly injections. My free T levels are in the 900's. and .6mg is a "low dose." Someone comparable may need double that to achieve the same result.
Exactly, but then cue the amateur internet expert to say, "That's not trt, that's a mini cycle, lol". Ugh.
How is this guy even on TH-cam. Waste of a click ans time.
OK then captain say nothing whatsoever of any use 😂 a typical trt dose could be 125mg a week or 100mg a week or 80 mg a week but these dosages can be split in half so 62.5mg/50mg/40mg every 3.5 days and also dosages can depend on shbg and dose frequency depending on esther used but all that really matters if your estradiol
splitting in half does nothing and is a waste of time.
@executiveinvestments of course it does a less bolus dose therefore a lower mitigating rise in e2
@@alexpanting4177 it’s been proven it does nothing. Test levels don’t drop much if any in 7 days. People have better results and feel with 1 shot a week instead of 2.
@@alexpanting4177 saying taking 100mg a week in one dose is going to rise estrogen is completely crap. 🤦♂️🤦♂️. So naturally produced testosterone is rising e levels in people that don’t need trt? lol. You would need to take 1200mg+ a week to rise e levels.
@executiveinvestments bloody hell mate your talking absolute waffle even teenage lads can end up with gynocamastia from there elevated testosterone during puberty and they'll be producing far less than 100mg will achieve 😂😂😂 fuc##ng hell mate
I'm not going to tell you what it is, just don't take it? ........NEXT!
Great vid makes sense to me
