Bloodwork done, what does 1600 mean?

[bigman75]

Had to see a doctor for a checkup and he took blood. My testosterone was 1600. Don't know how to read that but he said 700-1000 was normal for me (34, 5'10", 250 @ 15% bf). I'm 5 weeks on enanthate 750/wk. Does that sound average or like I have low dosed gear?

Means your gear is real and your levels are way above the normal range which is good considering you are on.

1600 ng / dl (nanogram per deciliter)

Ozzie You're close... every 100mgs of enanthate is really like 72mgs of test. absorbed over about two weeks..\

750mgs a week should make you WAY higher though.. regular testosterone levels for a man in his peak are 300-1000 ng/dl.. I was 750 on Androgel 5g/day (this gel delivers 5mg per day after absorption) you're barely over double that.. if the level you claim is ng/dl you've been fucked.

A little snicket of info for everyone:

every 100mgs of (whatever) cypionate or enanthate taken once a week translates into 10mgs of (whatever) to you.

for example: 100mgs of testosterone cypionate/enanthate every Monday will yield 10mgs of testosterone per day.

@ 750mg /week, your test should be at very least 2500 ng/dl if it's a true 750mg. It could be as high as 4000 at that dose. It's a ratio, so the higer the dose, the ratio should increase more comparite to that dose.


For example (these are NOT any true chart numbers, it's just demonstrating a ratio increase vs a dose increase):

100mg = 300-400ng/dl
200mg = 650-900
400mg = 1500-2000
800mg = 3200-4400
and so on


I've seen guys #'s with HG gear @ 500mg/week have over 2000 ng/dl.

200mg/week HRT should put you at about 650-900, depending on your ht/weight. which is a high normal.



Are you using HG stuff?


1600ng/dl for 750mg is shit bro, when it comes down to it.

It's HG, just UGL. Maybe I'll have to run a brand name next time. Thanks for the examples.

200mg/week isn't that high for hrt , i thought that only 100mg/week suffice to throw u in the 600-1000 ng/dl range, and btw what is the higher normal hrt dose?and how many ng/dl will it gives u?

You're not making sense.

First you say 200mg isn't that high for HRT, then you say 100mg will stick you as high as 1000ng/dl (which is HIGH), then you ask what a high normal HRT dose is (You just said 200 wasn't that high), and what blood levels will reflect a high HRT dose?

20o/week is pretty high for HRT, depending on your height and weight. If you are 5'10" and 180 lbs, 200mg is probably too much for HRT to keep you within what the medical community would consider proper testosterone levels.


A high normal HRT dose is 200mg.

I rarely see someone prescribed more than this. There's a reason that U.S. Paramaceutical companies produce testosterone at 200mg/ml. Either 0.5 or 1 ml is prescribed weekly, or 1ml bi-weekly.

I think it was a question SouthernLord..maybe..

I am prescribed HRT I get 200mgs of cypionate every 2 weeks.. that is the dose he starts the shots at.

I am looking to increase this (obviously) I'd really prefer to get all my test via my doctor.. I weigh 250lbs so hopefully in the end I can get 400mg/week.

as far as ng/dl levels.. I havn't had a test again since starting the shots.. like I said though: mine was 750ng/dl with Androgel 5g/day.. that only delivers 5mg/day.. like I said in my previous post..

at 750mg you should be way way way higher, like SouthernLord said.

Sorry bro, but I'm not SouthernLord.
