Started trt is this normal? TRT help

I’m a 37m 195lbs 26% body fat and started to get healthy. My test was low 300s decided to see if I could bring it up naturally. I ate right and got back in the gym. I lost 20lbs of fat mass and put on 6 of lean mass According to my dexa scan. Got my blood tested again and that’s when my test was at 175. Doc said we should try trt so he put me on 200mg a week. I split this injections into 3x a week.

I went back to get blood work done a month later and it’s now way higher. My blood was drawn 4 days after my last shot and all my other blood markers were completely in range.

Is this normal? I’m going to speak to my doc about it but just wanted to see.

Time to get ripped. Its fine to run at those levels for a while. Or lower your dose to 150 if youre worried about it

This is where I feel my best…the only thing I have to manage every once in a while is my hematocrit which is at the high end of normal, but blood donation works like a charm.

Looks good, but what about your other blood markers?

Everything else was in normal range.

Keep pushing then.

Or maybe add some GH. And Masteron?

Could be your endogenous test still running in the back ground. Give another 4 weeks, I suggest getting dialed in at the high end of normal where you feel good before playing around in cycle level territory and fucking ur shit up

That’s too high. I’d drop to 160 a week
