Normal Test range

[Garbanzo Dude]

Not getting much love in the main forum....so I'll repost here.

For the rest of the year when you are NOT on AAS cycle.

This # can vary for many reasons.....but age seems to be biggest factor.....so what do you guys consider normal and optimal for retaining muscle after PCT is over and you have to rely on your natural test to keep what you have gained or even grow through diet only?

I know Doc's and blood tests have a range( but WTF ) what's normal for your age?????

here are a few that I have seen

"20-49 years old" 262-1593 ng/ML

"adult males" 350-1030 ng/ML

I know guys in the early 40's over 800 and guys in mid 20's under 400<----(which fall in that "normal range" and have NO to access to HRT)

So again I say WTF???

i believe it to be an individual basis for what levels is optimum for each and everyone of us and also that other factors are included and equally important....having the right ratio of test to estradiol is key and having a good portion of your test circulating (free test)...my .02

Were did you find the range of 262 - 1593? Can you provide a link please.

What, in your opinion, would be good ratios/levels of each??

[zaggahamma]

from what i've seen and read.....total test upper range 700-1000 where free test is not out of range as well and estradiol around 20-35

Thanks. I just had bloodwork done yesterday. Hopefully my levels are near where they should be. Been doing TRT since the end of January.
