Decided I'm gonna test my 225xAMRAP in the new year. So two weeks from now. Curious to see how it goes. Hoping for at least 10.0

I requested is specifically, it's not normally done.
There's a few indicators like fatigue that had me concerned, so I asked for it, and my doc said, make it so.
Yeah, fatigue is generally the first indicator. Generally feeling like a bag of **** and weakness are big signs.
These were my clues many many years ago when I was first diagnosed...in addition to busting *kitten* in the gym, eating like a horse, and not making any appreciable progress. 30ish years old and T levels <200 is the saddest sad that ever sadded.0 -

I'm right at 200 @ 35.0 -

Mine are supposed to be around 540 IIRC. I might go get tested but I have a feeling mine might be a little high judging by my performance in the gym.0 -
I'm asking my doc for 900-1100.0

Bold.
Two years later, we're still trying to dial in the right dose for something reasonable. I've since tested around 130-200 many times...and a fluky 1500 earlier this year. Hoping we finally have it right now. Will know in a few months when we test again. I'd be fine with 500-700 since we test at the furthest point from the last injection (ie, the day of a scheduled injection). Good luck.0 -
I figure, ask high and outside of the top of the range, and he'll know I want to be on the higher end if not top of the range.
"Reach for the stars, and get the moon." So to speak.0 -

I should have mine tested then lulz... wonder if they would give me shots for that.
I'd be okay with it. I want bigger lifts damnnnnit0 -
range for women at the highest value on the sheet I have is 75.0

Just be careful with that. If I get a little too much on the protocol, I grow hair, might get a little uneven emotionally, and a few other fairly benign side effects*. If you do that, things can go south really quickly (or at least that's what I've heard).

You're already basically become a man with all that lifting (I see through that makeup that only *kitten* clowns wear in the gym) so you might as well complete the transformation.0 -
Like David Duchovny in Twin Peaks?0

I thought liver damage was with oral dosing only.

I don't think they've invented numbers that high yet. Fricken kids.

That actually sounds right. I just know that my doctor freaked out a little at my high test results and ordered the test to confirm.0 -

after my working sets of 325x3, 335x2, and 405x1 i finished off with a 225x20 close grip burn down set. have to admit, it felt really good. great overall chest/tri pump...0

I was at the gym yesterday just doing a light workout alone and I was watching what looked like two 18/19 year old kids at the benches. They loaded up what I think was 350 on the bar. I was resting between sets so I just sat up and watched to see what was about to unfold because I knew it would be absolutely impossible for either of them to push that weight.
After getting each other all jacked up, one of them started the lift. He brought the bar down 3 inches and freaked out then his friend deadlifted the bar back onto the rack. Then they celebrated as if it was a clean lift. I started laughing then went back to my workout.
TLDR: Watching people ego lift is comical.0 -
Don't tempt me.... I've seen some damn beautiful men as women- perhaps I can have more better lifts- AND still rock my clown make upWheelhouse15 wrote: »LolBroScience wrote: »Is getting T levels checked part of a normal physical, or do you have to pay extra for it typically?

I recently had them done a few years ago from doc request. He and an endocrinologist cannot figure out what my body is doing with my testosterone. Also the range of T levels is so broad.0
