make sure you're eating healthy, sleeping, working out and not stressing, and get another test. if it's still bad, just hop on roids.

Just accept that you're fine you fucking faggot. You're in the normal range for a reason. (No 'test' doesn't decrease with age (in most people) and the reference values are adapted from healthy adult (not elderly) males.

If you want to use steroids don't look for excuses and just do it.

no motivation, tired most of the time, feeling weak. that's what i noticed the most. i thought those things were just due to lifting and my busy schedule. my gym progress was pretty decent though.

Why are the ranges so large? Any scientific reason behind this? I understand weight and height matter but does a couple of pounds really mean 500 more test? Seemed strange I don't understand.

that's like the exact same shit I did, mine was like 268. I was tired and depressed and all that, doc checked thyroid too, both were in normal ranges. got on welbutrin and feel on top of the world. boners came back too. turns out I was just actually depressed.

It makes no difference. Someone could have 800 and you wouldn't notice any difference. Stop being so obsessed with it.

The only thing that actually does make a difference within its reference range is your dihydrotestosterone value.

Get bloodwork done at a time of the day where your test levels are lower. Test levels show up below 240. Get test prescribed and then enjoy feeling like a man.

The average man test levels sit between 250-300 and rise to 1000 when they doing competitive or test related activities. Your test is fine. Obviously you nowhere close to roiders like arnold sitting at 7000 or whatever.

What are you trying to say? It still makes no difference.
Dihydrotestosterone still makes the biggest difference in muscle building capabilities.
>>
>>42660890
Its not ideal or optimal but you can get into the 350s with natural supplements and hard work, sleep, food etc..

I started TRT at 28 years old and am 30 next year
Total test was at 218, free test was the lowest on the scale
SHBG was low as fuck

Started TRT, depression went away things are good these days

The only thing that sucks is if you want to maintain this way of life you have to use steroids forever

Inject test 2x a week
Inject HCG 2x a week - keeps balls functional and doesn't atrophy
Take an AI .25mg adex twice a week- controls estrogen conversion

>>42661441
There is no clear cut answer to why one range can be so wide whereas the other is really small. Part has to do with the bioavailability of 'free testosterone' which has a much smaller range another part has to do with natural fluctuations in testosterone level throughout the day (higher in morning) and year (higher in spring). It is however not that uncommon for wide normal ranges to exist.
>>42661322
And I can't believe you're that full of yourself as to think you know better than medical specialists who studied for 10 years just to get into their profession and research that has been going on for hundreds of years
>>42661672
How? People are free to use drugs if they want to, I just don't want people having the false assumption that being on the lower end of the normal range of testosterone is the source of all their perceived problems. Taking testosterone will do nothing for that, but it will give you a nice muscular body.

>when you finally realize being a beta male is genetic
Ahahaha. Embrace your destiny, start drinking soymilk, and become a cute girl (male).

But seriously anon a big reason is that testosterone has more cons than pros in these situations, theres no pills that wont kill your liver so you have to self inject with a big scary needle and get bloodwork done constantly. For most people thats too much trouble and theyre too irresponsible to keep their hormone levels stable, and will fuck up their injections. Honestly though approaching 300s is really low for your age if you get a second opinion and ask for test the doc might say yes.
>>
>>42662278
thats because docs nowadays are retards

they do the same with vitamins and other nutrients
>vitamin range is 100-10000
>be at 110
>doc says is ok
He only says 'is ok' because 100 is the minimum amount where you dont get any disease, optimum is always much much higher. I really fucking hate docs nowadays
>>
Up until 2015 test levels under 450 were considered low. But now average test levels have fallen so much 250 is the new low. Welcome ro femenism, where 1 in 5 suicides are women and thats a real problem

>>42662527
It's the same with docs as with any other profession - there are people good at it and there are people bad at it.
As with any other service that you need to have done by someone who's profession it is, you have to somehow select someone that is actually good at it.
It's not that hard in times of Internet though.

But in this case, even the extremely knowledgeable docs agree that what op is describing is irrelevant.

>hurr durr muhh low test
Than it won't change anything, maybe even make them more depressive when they find out they spend all this money and took drugs for nothing. Maybe they even end up with gyno or acne flare up and are even more miserable. People generally don't self medicate in decent dosages they usually take like 200mg/w which would be the absolute maximum any physician would prescribe and will be supraphysiological (thus again putting them at more risk etc.) in almost all males.

Debating points?

If it's something just thought about (situational), what's to say that pills vs. metabolites is relevant at all? The quickest way "up" is plausibly just quitting association, thought or whatever.

Yet pharmaceuticals are often about as effective as placebo.

Doing cool/exciting stuff is rewarded with chemicals. Enough / extra protein for enough / extra chemicals is literally the point — those are research excerpts.
>>
>>42667410
I'd like a source because a good bit of depression is caused by lack of receptors, meaning you can produce all the dopamine and serotonin in the world and have no effect. Debating the efficacy is a whole different subject than debating cause.

Once again though, a larger part of depression isn't lack of NT, it's lack of receptors, hence the argument that diet isn't a solution in those cases.

>>42667877
No? What do you think SSRIs were created for? Cases of actual depression, not just mild, are actual genetic issues, not hormonal ones.

The argument here is "increasing levels of serotonin with pharmaceuticals" vs. "increasing levels of serotonin with metabolites", so receptor amount is beyond the scope.

They're wrong m80. DHT is a derivative of testosterone and is responsible for some of the effects seen by increases in test, but it's nowhere near as important as test is. If you increase your free T, you will also increase your DHT, but if you supplement DHT (or creatine, which raises it), you will only see some of the secondary benefits. Test is responsible for far more than DHT is, at least far more of the positive effects people are looking for. There's a reason no one specifically supplements DHT when they're looking for increased performance or as HRT, because DHT, while not irrelevant, is significantly less important than free T.
>>
>>42662382
As for the range issue, they are also wrong. The acceptable range given is usually for people ages 18-65, give or take. We know that test declines significantly as we age, so it is safe to assume that the lower third of the range should be populated by people over 40, and the top third of the range should be populated by people under 40. Most doctors view people within the lower range as normal, regardless of whether their age indicates they should be there or not, because that is what they are trained to do. Doctors fix things when they're wrong, but are generally not very good at preemptive or preventative care. One can clearly see a man in his 20s should be nowhere near the bottom of the range with this simple thought experiment: if he is near the bottom in his 20s, and let's just say T halves every 20 years, when he's in his 40s he'll be well below the normal range. In another 20, he'll hardly be producing test at all. Given current T and age, one can safely assume a trajectory, and given that trajectory see if one should fix something now rather than later.
