Testosterone levels

[stackedbro]

So it's my 5th week on testosterone enanthate . I've been doing 2 injections a week coming out to 500-600mg of testosterone enanthate a week. And I was concerned on if the stuff was bunk but my bloodwork just got back and my level was at 1500ng/dl. My normal levels are from 700-1000. I thought my level would be above 2000 by now. Is it underdosed? is this a normal level of testosterone for being on gear for my first time. Also my free test was at I believe 52.

It is exactly right on the dot, in reference to half life & dose.

[austinite]

Well, all UGL gear is underdosed. But that's not terrible for 4 weeks. Another 4 weeks should double that and put you in around 3000 ish...

Ummm, how do you calculate that?

Here is what I go by PCT Calculator | Post Cycle Therapy Calculator

Seems to be the most accurate way to look at levels throughout cycle.

Only a 500-800 ng/dl increase after a full month?

I don't think that can be used as an accurate gauge. 600mg of test puts me at 4000ng/dl in just 8 weeks.

But even according that link you provided, OP should be at 2200+

OP has 500 to 600 listed, make up your mind OP, lol, big difference there.

Well it is about 500 mgs a week. But still I thought I would be at a higher level than I am at. I understand ugl's are usual underdosed. And I think mine was slightly underdosed as well. I don't feel any different at all and my strength gains are not even there. I have gained about 3 pounds or so this month, nothing that spectacular for taking a risk for my
Body and the amount of I money I put into it. Hopefully this second vile will affect me alot more.

Is that 1500 at the top of the range for the lab? Or does their range go higher? 500 mgs a week puts me at 1500 easy, but that was the max the lab went to. I needed a different test to get a truer test result.

The range is from 300-1100 so I was above the highest normal range.

If its wrote >1500 its only that the lab do not go over 1500 if its written just 1500 then its underdosed

[< <Samson> >]

Can someone tell me how you figure all of this?

When I ran 800mg a week, my levels were like right around 1700-1800


If you go by half life: 500mg's + 500mg's + 500mg's = 1500 possibly a little more

How would you get more?

It's exactly 1500 so it's underdosed as I first assumed.

Your body still naturally produces some. You don't shit yourself down completely.

Not really. Shut down is shut down. Even a TRT dose will basically shut down LH production to virtually nothing. Hence why people run HCG to mimic LH production and keep your boys somewhat functioning.

Yup. And I'm glad i don't shit myself.....

[GymHero]

After running 500mg of Test E for 2 weeks my levels were just under 2400! My gear is home brewed tho

As if it would be a first time!

That's a talent I'd like to acquire.

Wow. Defying the odds!

[Bonaparte]

The lab meant >1500ng/dl (the > is math for "greater than").
At 5 weeks in, your T levels are as high as they're going to get, which should be around 4,000ng/dl.
And Austinite, I don't see how you figure that all UGL test is underdosed. Anybody can add a bit of extra raws to a batch to ensure that it meets vial claims. It isn't like test raws are expensive.

Ok... every single UGL I've ever used was underdosed. Sorry about the wrong verbiage.

Really? There's quite a few good labs out there right now. Some with purity in comparison of Watson. And I have the mass specs to prove it.

If i would get any ugl EK has never done me wrong!

Don't know about those. But compared to Pfizer for example, everything else was garbage. Including USP, Sciroxx (Which I thought was great), ZI, Uncle Z, Thaiger, Genesis/Unigen and a bunch of others. All underdosed.

Bonaparte might be assuming raws are perfect, not the case.

Surprised by only Sciroxx.. Have a lot of buddies that use em

I just don't know what to think about all this. FOR me it is what it is. I do what I have on hand at the dose I choose to do. I have BW and my test levels have been in the multiple 1,000's. Like 5,450-3,300-7,340- and as now 6,650 ng/dL on a range of 348-1197
OH well Good luck OP ! ...crazy mike

I would like to know why you think sciroxx is underdosed?? (I don't care about others). Have you compared bloodwork with pharm grade? have you done HPLC or other lab works on it.

I really wanna know, I bought some sciroxx and would like to know what to expect.

[< <Samson> >]

Legit - Sciroxx is grade A sauce in my book. . . I never had the cheese to afford it though.

Yes, everything I'm talking about is based on blood work. Sciroxx would be my choice if I ever go back to UGL. Still not comparable.

No, but most are going to be 95%+ pure, so you'd just have to overdose it a bit.

[austinite]

......... nevermind..

[OnTheSauce]

Ever had mass spec done on any of your Raws? 95% would be VERY good.

[stackedbro]

If its wrote >1500 its only that the lab do not go over 1500 if its written just 1500 then its underdosed

The doctor called me and told me it was exactly at 1500 not greater than.

No UGL checks purity. So you never actually know how pure your powder is unless you're willing to make a sizeable investment, which most UGL's won't.

I get mine tested.

How? PM me if you want, I'm interested. This kind of testing is not readily available for public use. And SRCS labs don't mess with this stuff anymore.
