TC dosing after 60

[over60andusingtrt]

I'm curious what average weekly dosing is for you guys who are over 60. I'm not looking for blood levels, just how much TC you're injecting weekly and what your age is. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

All that should really matter here is the dose one needs to achieve a healthy trough FT which will result in relief/improvement of low-T symptoms and overall well-being.

Yes symptom relief is what truly matters but when it comes to what FT level is needed one needs to keep in mind the overall goal would be to use the least amount in order to feel well while at the same time minimizing sides and keep blood markers healthy long-term.

Thanks Madman, can I ask what your weekly TC dose is and how old you are?

 

[Vince]

Age 70. I inject 16 mg of testosterone cypionate daily and 500 IU of HCG every third day.

Total 112 mg of testosterone per week

 

[Warrior]

64yrs, trt for 15yrs. Dose is 120 to 150 per week.

 

[Mountain Man]

71. Dose varies between 120-130 injected once per week.

64, on TRT for around 8 years, 90mg T per week plus occasional other things for specific purposes (e.g. pt-141, nandrolone). While I am subject to the increased susceptibility to injury that is generally reported to occur between age 50-65, I've seen nothing magic about any specific age number.

 

[deBooza]

Age 60. 70mg TE (250mg/m) per week divided into two injections along with 500IU of HCG.

65 years of age. 90 mg per of cypionate per week, daily subq injections. I would use a higher dose but at this dose I am at the top of the range for hematocrit and hemoglobin.

 

[MarcoFL]

62 and taking 12mg per day. I am upper end of range. I have zero hematocrit issues if I want to take higher dose but do not feel well on higher.

 

[jacb]

Age 65 taking 105mg testosterone cypionate per week.
30mg subq every other day.
Limited by hematocrit considerations.

I had a look at Steroid Planner today and it is interesting to see what the average release rate is per day and what effect of different testosterone esters make to the heigh/low peaks/troughs. It’s helpful to have them graphically plotted.

The Sustanon 250 results were a little confusing before I saw the note at the bottom of the page:

• “Testosterone Sustanon 250 is a combination of esters. 250 mg Sustanon is composed of 30 mg propionate, 60 mg phenylpropionate, 60 mg isocaproate, and 100 mg decanoate. In the table above, the half life shown is the half life of the fastest acting ester, propionate”.

It would be helpful if for sustanon 250 all the esters could be plotted to show the combined effect.

The combined effect of sustanon is plotted.
You can add different compounds, e.g. the esters used for sustanon, and plot them in one graph.

Hi Seagal
I think if you do a little experimentation (what if values etc) you will reconsider your comments about the effects of the combined esters of Sustanon being ploted merely by selecting Sustanon 250 from the list. That is bourne out by the note they added and I reproduced [see above).
Yes you could manually plot each of the % values for each of the esters and then calculate the combined effects, but that rather beats the point of this easy to use graphic comparison tool. Akin to owning a dog and barking yourself.

"In the table above, the half life shown is the half life of the fastest acting ester, propionate."
The way I comprehend it, is that this note refers to the table, yet the graph should show the combined effect.

As we know Sustanon 250 is comprised of:

12% Testosterone Propionate (Half Life = 0.8 days)
24% Testosterone Phenylpropionate (HL= 1.5 days)
24% Testosterone Isocaproate (HL= 4 days)
40% Testosterone Decanoate (HL = 7.5 days)

Half life 7.5 days = gone from the system in 15 days.

I understand that sustanon is frequently employed to give a longer time interval between doses.

What is shown in the graph doesn’t appear to show the combined effect (ramp/step effects) of the four esters. If you spend some time experimenting with the graphing tool I believe you will come to the same conclusion which would mean that the note refers to the graphic and the table.

I looked around the internet and found this graph which looked more as I would expect, but even then the Testosterone (mg) mean value seemed low for a 5 day interval and 125 mg?

 

[Seagal]

Does look similar but if you looked into it and find the steroid plotter inaccurate for sustanon then it's valuable information.

Hmmm not so sure about that, look at the release rate per day (left hand scale).

However on a slightly different subject. The peaks and troughs seem very marked with the sustanon protocol. I took a look at the same amount t/mg per week using Cypionate and pining every other day.

Sustanon 125mg e5d = 25mg per day, so 175mg every week (that’s quite a lot PW for TRT purposes). The average release rate was shown as approximately 22mg per day, with marked peaks/troughs.

Cypionate 175mg/3.5 = 50mg eod.
The average release rate is approximately 17.5 mg per day. Quite a reduction on the daily release rate? Much smother peak and trough values.

Why the difference in daily release rates between Sustanon and Cypionate when the testosterone intake PW is the same?
