I get testosterone pellets put in as my levels are pretty low, but I don't lose weight , although I feel a lot better after pellets put in

Can I have the contact for this Dr you mentioned at 2:15 min I guess is Dr Randy ?

I have the opposite problem, I am on trt but I'm not really hungry and I can't lose fat.

I’m Kinda in the same boat trt 250 30 percent fat. Week 4. I wanna lose fat I hate the way I look so personally inwanna focuse on loseing fat. And maintain my muscle mass. After let’s say 4/5 months coukd I not just build muscle after that like crazy?

Nice video guys, just got on TRT, week 3, had been 15 years i used TesT, wow! I had forgotten how bad it sucks to train Natty hahahah Weights are flying around on their own @ 140mg/week, i've gotten so much stronger in so little time, it's not even believable.. i'm up 10 pounds on clean eating which is somewhat bothering me, probably mostly water but still..

Take the shots.. learn how to do it yourself and remember less is more.

I am 60 years young I have been on testosterone therapy for 3 years. I started out with the gel and then the shots but now I get the implants. This is really working for me I have a lot of energy my mental health disorder has improved. I am exercising at least 3 times a week and I had knee replacement surgery in January and was walking 3 hours after the surgery. I progressed 6 weeks in only two weeks. I have the drive and I am reinventing myself since I lost all the weight I am shooting for a modeling career and taking voice lessons. This is the best thing that has happened to me. I am in a more positive frame of mind. I only wish that this would have taken place in my younger years. I am now all over social media dancing and modeling clothing.

I was at 202ng. total at 43yo 156lbs. Been on 70mg every 3 days for 5 mo and haven't noticed really any benefits with libido or brain fog, I do sleep better. My hunger is through the roof and have gained 16 lbs in five months....not working out and fat. I gained almost all that weight in the first 6weeks of being on trt.

Its waterretention.

For some of us 100 mg/week gets us rather high in the reference range. 120mg/wk got me up over 1050 ng/dl for total t and just under 200 for free t. Some people respond really well to test and some people dont respond well at all. There is no "this dose is barely replacement" that covers everyone. In a month i'll have number for 105/wk and i'm betting i'll still be over 900 ng/dl.

Im 175 lbs try to gain lean muscle. At about 15% bf .. been slowly uping my calories try to get to that sweet spot to start gaining. Im up yo 3600 calories a day and still not gaining weight. 30% protien 35% fat and carbs. And i just started trt this week. Test reading was only around 100 and 2nd test was 267... so seems super low.

Currently 200lbs and at 15% body fat. . Now trying to stay this weight but get my body fat down to 10%

When i was in my 30's, my test was 989, i was still lifting and my body weight hovered around 235lbs. Fast forward to recently and now I'm 50, blood tested in November of last year, test was 303, Dr said let's try losing weight to raise my test. I was weighing 418lbs, tried Trulicity, and can only get to 393 and in was stuck there. In was intermittent fasting, and in the gym. Had lood tested again and my test levels dropped to 199! My Dr then refered me to a urologist, that Dr say my blood work and right there on the spot gave me a shot of 200mg/1ml of Testosterone Cypionate. After 2 days some of my aching joints were gone, my energy was better, and then after a week and a half I crashed and was feeling like crap again. But I had my blood drawn again like the 4th day in and my test was at 537, so I got with the Dr again and he prescribed me 200mg a week, I have my shot Monday morning, just had my 2nd weekly shot yesterday and I'm just now getting back in the gym. My appetite is crazy, even on Trulicity, I'm craving meals and I think it's because I have been trying calorie restriction to get the weight off but I'm starting to think I need to eat clean but more and hit the gym with a full complete training program to see if I can get back to my I had in my late 30's, which was 235lbs. I guess i need advice on what i should be doing to get the fat off while building muscle, like a full recomp diet.

Slow walking the dose to keep you around until you’re dialed in .

For TRT, his dose of 100mg/week should be adequate to get him to the "sweet spot" of a 550 testosterone level. My level was 226 and 200mg of testosterone per week was WAY too much (for TRT - clinically speaking). I completely stopped for 21 days and was tested at 652. I'm going to cut down to 100mg/week and get retested in a couple of months. Now, if I was looking for performance enhancement via strength training, that's another story. But remember the higher dose alternative will require anti-estrogens, and a washout period with HCG +/- clomiphene, as your testes will atrophy.

What about hair loss? You need to cover it.

The one disappointing thing about this video is how much it encourages using a LARGER dose of T but not talking about the increased negative side effects that typically accompany a dose above 150 mg/wk. You need to add other stuff to your program to avoid/reduce those side effects… and that isn’t trivial.

You’d be surprised. Some people only need 50mg a week to put their total test around the 1100-1200 mark and some require 350mg a week which is a small cycle to most people. Your body and genetics play a huge role in how it all breaks down and what dosage you’ll need.

I take it because I convert a ridiculous amount of T to E, my E was in the 60s before i even started trt. I feel horrible if I dont take it.

I started on 160 a week I initially felt awesome but now a lot of the honeymoon is over. My appetite never went up which is strange but I did put on some weight which is probably water weight.

I mean that sounds great and all.. but that is not trt anymore, that is just continuous steroid cycle (not 100, but the twice and over that). Original clinic seems to actually do what it is supposed to do, which is replace missing testosterone and putting him on top of reference, so TRT. And the recommended doctor is treating it as PED, so effectively he is just putting everyone on an actual steroid cycle.

Testosterone levels are (just like literally every other human system) are unique to the individual. The RANGE they use on a Testosterone test are just that... a RANGE. Now think about how they get that range... How many healthy young men get there Testosterone checked? Exactly. Most of that data comes from guys who have symptoms and are looking for the reasons behind those symptoms. Second, symptoms are completely independent of test levels. If a guy in his 20's had natural levels of 1000 ng/dl, then in his mid 30's is working out, has relatively low body fat, eating clean, getting great sleep but is experiencing brain fog, low libido , stalling strength ext and his test levels are 700.. just because he's in the high end of the range doesn't mean he's in the optimal spot FOR HIM. Just treating the range instead of the symptoms is like telling guys not to take a aspirin for a headache because there brain and heart are healthy lol.
