Last time I used one of those smart scales I was around 19 percent, top abs are visible, havent seen bottom abs since Les Miles was coaching the Tigers.
Dont smoke, drink maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Sleep duration is usually 7 hr but I dont get much deep sleep at all according to the Garmin. Sleep score usually in the 70s-80s.
Like I said in OP im sure I could dial it in more and lose 10 lb or so but my diet is pretty clean and I do cardio 2-3x a week. All my numbers are good, BP, Cholesterol, RHR etc
I think im just lucky that I've been able to maintain foundational muscle mass with whatever is going on. Ive lifted 3-4x a week pretty consistently for over 25 years. Recovery started going to shite so I adapted from heavy training to failure to more volume in 12 rep range and thats helped with recovery and joints some. Just want to get back to feeling like a beast again
i mean you do need to lose some bodyfat....but that is not really going to help your testosterone levels for the most part. but TRT will give you a little more energy to push you towards this. if done having kids....get on trt.

Thanks for the encouragement and glad to hear a success story!

Best of luck! I'm 39 and take 150 mg a week. I'm generally around 1200ish at all times - injecting twice a week.

46 yr old just got my annual blood work done. 6’1 and 195 all my lipid came back great
Testosterone is 608
Only thing elevated is creatinine at 1.32 which could be for my 15-20g of creatine I take.

I appreciate it man. Might have to hit you up, we'll see.
Update: Managed to convince doc on 50mg a week. I was happy about that until I got home and started reading that is a super low dose and might do more harm than good if it nukes my natural processing for such a low amount.
T vets, what are yall's thoughts?
She did say this was the 'beginner' dose and would re-assess in 3 months. Is it worth it to just wait the 3 months and see how it goes, or should I bite the bullet and go to a clinic?

At a dose that low, you’ll likely just finish shutting down your natural production and not have enough exogenous to feel good. 100mg a week is the lowest I’ve seen and even that’s pushing it.
Posted on 3/26/26 at 7:28 pm to Uncle JackD
Damn man, why would they even prescribe something that low.

I warned ya. It’s really bad how little they know about this stuff. quote:
That probably wouldn’t help, very few of them know jack shite about HRT.

I think some GPs use 50 mg a week as a starting point. I've seen for some people it will boost them into the range, even if its on the lower end, which is what most GPs are going for.

There is absolutely no point in injecting yourself weekly just to achieve a total of 300-400. Just my opinion

I was started at 3 times that dose at your age (split over two doses). You likely won't notice much of a difference, and will stop.
One thing to be mindful of, is that doctors that have admitting privileges at large hospital systems are bound by rules they don't tell you about. I'd let her know of your objection after a month (she'll insist on another lab, I'm sure) and when she tries to send you to 75 or 100 a week, move on. Incremental sounds great, but they're burning years of our lives to be overly cautious.

I looked up the one she prescribed me and it goes up to 75 and 100 mg max.
So unless 100 mg somehow magically does the trick and I can get it before my 3 month check up somehow, looks like its to the clinic for me.

I agree with that. I'm not an expert of course. All anecdotal. But the downsides are so minimal compared to the upside to double that or higher.

Xyosted is the brand, its test E. Comes in an epi pen looking thing and goes up to 100mg
Posted on 3/27/26 at 8:00 am to BoudinChicot
That’s odd. TestE is rarely ordered in the US. But it’s a very similar ester to Cyp with the same half life. And I’ve never seen it ordered in a pen like that. Seems expensive. Most common is cyp 200mg/mL in 1mL or 10mL vials.

Waste of time, your doc is a retard. To be fair, 98% of doctors dont have a clue on this shite
