I just got some labs back. Been on test e 500mg for 5 weeks.

Total test 2272 ng/dl
Free test 395.5 pg/ml
Bioavailable test 748.8 ng/dl
Shbg 46 nmol/L

From my understanding this is high, but thats want I want right?

Thoughts?

Asking if your test is to high on a blast is like asking your wife if your boner is to hard while smashing guts...there's no such thing.

You're right about where you should be for 500mg btw. An rough estimate of where your levels should roughly be at the peak is mg x 5. So if you're taking 500mg of test you should roughly 2500 ng. You're in the ballpark.

Looks like your test is good. If you don't feel pretty good already you should start to feel that way soon.

mg x 5. Awesome rule of thumb. As I get into this I was wondering what level is optimal and how do I know if I’ll be pinning enough. Thank you

I would say it's too high when you can't manage the undesirable side effects well. So that is going to be different for every person. I think the other thing to remember is the idea of diminishing returns apply to AAS as well.

^^^was just going to say something similar to this.

If too much Test negatively affects you, drop the dose back and add in another compound to pick up the slack.

Ideally you'll experience less unwanted effects while still getting the growth you desire.

Keep everything else in check and keep rolling. As mega put it, once you get to the point to where its rough on the body and cant take the sides, be that negative or positive, thats when its high. some people will tap out at a lower point and some people can run the hell out of the stuff and minimal. play it safe and learn how the body reacts.

fellow VA. welcome
