Doubling the T Cyp?

[echozulu]

I hope this is the right place for this. Last May had T levels checked-they
were in the double digits! Doc prescribed 400 mg. Cyp EOW. BW increases,
BF decreases, well being thru the roof! I knew my levels were low,so I have
weight trained for years. On 14 Aug. was my follow-up bloodwork and T levels
were 427. Doc said I was at Max dosage already and I thought BS. (thanks to this site) Since then, I shoot 400 mg T Cyp EW. Is this too much?
I'm 48
228 lb.s 6'4"
Work out steady since Jan '02
never cycled
BF 13-15%

Sorry this is so long.

Did he give you anything else besides test ?

[echozulu]

No. I 've known that heavy weight training would increase T levels so working out
became a' lifestyle' choice.

400MG a week is basically a cycle. Most guys use around 100MG a week for therapy.

Most peoples max TRT is 200mg a week or a bit more. I told my dr after all blood work my symptoms. And we discussed my goals in weight lifting.

I am on 400mg a week. Its an extremely high dose for trt. And this is the max he will do.
I did not ask for this dose nor have I asked for it to be raised. But when he put me on this dose he did tell me this is as high as he could go and feel comfortable that it would be safe.

Thanks for the replies. CHAP, That kinda confirms what I thought. I'm not gonna go
higher but I'll be at this dose for a wh ile.

If you really feel you need to increase the dose look for a dr that will accommodate you. They are out there

your issues aren't dosage related, they are shot schedule related. 200mg/week is on the high side of TRT and most don't need that much. but, if you want to stay on that dose then you'd get better results taking one 200mg shot each week or even 100mg 2x/week (i.e. monday/thursday) rather than 400mg EOW.

outside of the levels..more important is how you feel..maybe go to a weekly shot of 200..which is the high average for trt
