Muscle gains on TRT vs overdosing

[fmalianos]

Im 35. Ive been on TRT for 6weeks with TestCyp @125mg per week. I started with a testosterone level of 359ng/dl and after 6 weeks my test levels were at 1200. I have noticed my stamina and overall well being have improved. I also find myself wanting to workout almost every day in comparison to before getting on TRT(had to drag myself to the gym and would struggle to workout).

My question is(after reading a few online articles): is it true that men on TRT really don't gain much muscle because TRT keeps you within normal ranges...and that to see real muscle gains I would have to surpass the over the HIGH-normal ranges(1100ng/dl) by overdosing(like doing cycles with shots of 300mg or above per week?

fmalianos, by working out with weights everyday and doing "good workout" you're going to get lean and muscular. The best part is all the energy and clarity of mind use it to your advantage.

Eat clean and plenty of calories; you'll put on some decent size! I gained almost 20 pounds in 6 months. I was doing .5ml per week.

A lot has to do with genetics as well. I have worked out my entire life and since going on TRT 4 years ago - and working out harder than before and eating better as well - I have added next to nothing. But, I am 50 so I may have had better results if I was 20 years younger.

A study answered that question (these patients were not working out, so expect more gains than these)

Responses of different doses of testosterone injections on body composition, strength, etc.
