Re:Testosterone and exercises

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the answer Phil,

It does appear that you must be in remarkable shape considering your

exercise regime. Excellent! Your T levels are pretty much at the maximum

on the T- scale are they not? Wow..that is a bit higher than I am. In

all of the discussions that I have seen on T Levels in varying men, it

would appear that each male may function best on it's own level. I was

initially using injections of 1 cc/ week T- cyp for 100 mg T but noticed

that I was feeling classic effects of E2. I dropped the dosage to 75mg

T/ week and got much more favorable results.

Thanks for the advice on testing T- levels after a period of working

out. As I am doing injections I will time the blood work after a couple

of exercise free days.

Ron being on TRT your testis are shut down from making Testosterone they

will not get the message from your pituitary to make T the message being

LH and FSH most men testing on TRT this is very low this is why we add

HCG it acts like the LH message and keeps your testis working the best

they can.

As for eating up your added Testosterone levels exercising hard it can

happen only way to tell is check your levels but don't workout 48 hrs

before your labs do you labs the day of your next shot if your doing

shots if your doing gels or creams do labs before putting them on or do

your labs 6 hrs later but don't get the gel or cream on the area they

take the blood from.

As for you levels most men don't do well this low my labs top of range

is 1100 my levels for Total T are 850 I try to stay between 700 to 900

to feel better if I go as low as you are the Testosterone dose not

support my joints and muscles. And I have pain. I work out doing every

muscle group Mon. Wed and Fri. for about 90 min.'s doing 10 reps 3 sets

of each. I worm up on the Cross Trainer 20 min's first. I work out on

Machines that take a card that sets your load, reps and sets for each

machine.

It's about 12 machines total I keep track on how I am feeling there are

days I need to back off I also have low cortisol levels and working out

lowers them.

I have yet to see my labs go up or down working out.

In a study some time ago I read bodybuilders that work out 5 days a week

end up with lower T levels and them men are not on TRT there avg. was

about 450 to 550.

A lot of young men come here or to my Thyroid Adrenal Forum very sick

from over training they end up with low Testosterone, Cortisol and some

with low Thyroid. So listen to your body give it time to recover and you

should do well.
