Is 100mg Test-C per week a decent dose for HRT?

HRT - hope it's ok to ask a question here - I get a bit confused with the terminology - would that be 80mg test/wk or 80mg t-cyp x 72% = 58mg of actual T? J.
I noted a comment todat that good trt docs start at 0.8mg/kg body wt. For me that would be 77 x 0.8 = 62mgT/wk. I have started at 70 mgT/wk so pretty close.

When someone says "80 mg of testosterone per week" they're referring to the total weight of the testosterone molecule AND the ester. So, they're injecting 80 mg of the solution as prescribed by the physician and as found in the medication. You're "right" in the sense that 80 mg is not 80 mg of pure testosterone, however, since the ester is the same all around (cypionate is cypionate), the ratio is the same and is a moot point to calculate "actual T."

I've tried all sorts of dosing and frequency. When I was not on hCG, a 100 mg of testosterone per week put my peak as 860 ng/dL and trough as 690 ng/dL.
