What, in mg's per week, is your doctor prescribing you? I have heard all kinds of ranges and injecting twice a week to some that do every 2 weeks.
silly me I thought a new AXIII or FM3 would fix it... If I had either I'm sure I'd up my levels..I'd just point out that your question is probably inappropriate to be asking on a guitar equipment forum. Doses vary widely (as you mention) depending on the levels, and the cause of the deficiency. We're not talking about using it as a gym junkie or for body building - I'm referring to its use as a replacement therapy.
As a medico myself, I wouldn't be responding to your question with specific dosages. Check with your specialist endocrinologist if you're concerned.
Testosterone supplements don't do the job. You'd need a jab of pharmaceutical grade testosterone from your GP. The doses vary from GP to the next, ranging from 100mg to 200mg, 200 probably too much for the job that needs to be done.I've had some success taking a more natural approach with a Ginseng Complex supplement, DHEA and Rhodiola Rosea. While they work to a certain extent, I had been curious about supplements like M-Drive so I got some and started this week. Noticeable energy, alertness and motivation (wanting to do stuff) increase.
Simply offering my experience using supplements as an alternative to having something injected into my body that has some potentially serious side-effects and complications. Each person needs to determine what is right for them. It's just not worth the risk for me, especially since these alternatives have provided the results I was looking for.Testosterone supplements don't do the job.

FYI, the steroids guys, they take at least 500mg a week.

I have to say I find it interesting that people will avoid "having something injected into my body that has some potentially serious side-effects and complications."Simply offering my experience using supplements as an alternative to having something injected into my body that has some potentially serious side-effects and complications.

Yet they will happily ingest Ginseng Complex supplement, DHEA and Rhodiola Rosea - do you even know what those actually are? Or what effects they have? You're still putting them into your body - just via the oral route rather than injection. Makes no difference apart from dosage and speed of absorption. And as for that M-Plan nonsense - check out the Web site: it's full of pseudoscientific rubbish, and weasel words like "supports testosterone". What does that mean? Answer - nothing.
If somebody actually needs testosterone replacement for falling natural levels (as happens to most men as we age), then pharma grade, pure hormone by injection is what is needed. And dosage is determined by each individual patient's needs and existing levels. And anything you take orally in the way of "testosterone supplements" is useless - most of it is broken down in the liver BEFORE it even gets into the general circulation. Known as the "first pass principle", most of the blood that flows from the bowel (including the stomach, intestines both small and large) goes to the liver FIRST (via the portal vein), where liver metabolism breaks down most of the molecules that go through. That's why dosage of drugs is so carefully calculated for oral medications - depending on the drug, different proportions are neutralized by the first pass principle.

Not looking for an argument here but I guess it's to be expected, no one is really entitled to an opinion anymore.Hardly a risk getting a pharmaceutical grade testosterone from your GP. Millions of men worldwide do this weekly.

why is that needed?

Exercises like squats and deadlifts can increase test and GH output, but at nominal levels. Nothing like therapy.495lb deadlifts boost testosterone just fine, once you recover.
