question from a user

Sorry, but there's no such thing as a great dose. Take me, for example. Off 120mg my trough is 1344ng/dl. At 175mg, I was off the charts. My point is we're all different, and so our responses are different. I am a hyper responder, but you also have hypo responders and everything in between. A great dose is one that puts you at optimal levels that don't require Anastrozole or any aromatase inhibitiors.

AlphaMD's Answer

I agree that everyone is different and that there will always be outliers, good stuff to share.

About the AIs though, as you say all men are different. Remember that is true for Estrogen as well. We have seen men at 100mgs a week have little typical TRT benefit but still suffer strong Estrogen symptoms who need to make the choice between going higher to relieve low Testosterone symptoms or not taking an AI and staying low.

Some men hyper respond in the Estrogen way as well, and I don't want this post to make those men feel like their treatment may be wrong for them if that is their case.
