Proper TRT terminology and general musings

[Racmuio]

I've noticed on different websites that they use some terminology which is questionable. one that I've seen is that they are cruising on 200 to 400 mg of testosterone a week. and they consider that testosterone replacement therapy. well what is the difference between that kind of dosing and actually running a real cycle?
I know for a fact that 99% of Physicians only prescribe up to 150 mg a week so if you use more than that wouldn't that be considered just running a cycle?

TRT is usually 100-200mgs testosterone per week
sports-TRT is 300mgs testosterone per week to 350mgs
anything above 350mgs testosterone is usually a cycle

bros TRT is <200mgs , >200mgs is sports trt

 

[ROIDDERS]

@Ulter no its not, some guys have low test so sports trt barely gets them to 800

 

[2Thick]

sports trt is 300mgs+ and I do it all the time

150-200mg normal trt people will call 300mg sport TRT. much like mild cycle. most ppl run 350-500mg min though when actually doing a cycle

 

[Fella Finn]

Most will say anything over 200 mg is just staying on cycle. For me, even that is high but there are conditions that may require that amount

Exactly so

You have it right.

It all comes down to the severity of the hypogonadal condition.. GENERALLY, 100-150 is a more standard dose.. you do not often see doses of 200 or above given unless it is for a special circumstance in terms of really bad condition OR an anti age clinic that simply is after your money... in some circumstances its either a very ignorant doctor or one who may be a little shady as well...

10 years ago you had a hard time finding a doctor to prescribe you trt

today its TOO EASY. i have clients who have 600-700ng/dl test levels naturally who are being put on trt which makes no fucking sense. so you are gonna shut yourself down and replace a healthy level with exogenous hormones. it is like drawing blood out of your body then putting it back in the next day.

this is a problem because this abuse will hurt everyone, they will eventually crack down on it once they realize a spike in cardiac and prostate issues. and the medical community will turn against trt due to the bad apples

 

[JasonPriest]

[BodyMonster34]

[RoySimpson]

Whatever dose is required to get your test levels to the upper end of normal while also keeping estrogen in the normal range is what I consider TRT. Anything more than that is just an excuse to stay on gear year round and is a cycle.
