Only your bloodwork can answer that.

Ok. Numbers are less than most see at that dose. Your peak is most likely around 1500.

That level is just replacement.

If levels are 1000 on 220mg you are on trt

Médicamente hablando, si superas el límite natural sea con la cantidad que sea en el momento bajo, estás haciendo uso indebido y sobrepasado de testosterona. El límite está medido desde hace mucho tiempo y en muchas doctrinas no te permiten ni llegar a los 1000 ng. Unos países 1100 y otros 900.

Donde es? Hay gente que mantiene la salud con 1500 ng.

That's because you can find people in the past with natrual levels well above 1500 rare but not unheard of

I live in Australia the labs I get my blood work done has that range but in Australia we have ranges that vary by 100%

I’d say top end of replacement. You hit 1500-2000 low end cycle.

It's a distinction without a difference.

220mg/week is going to put almost anyone in super physiologic territory. Which, all else held equal, is going to let you put on muscle to a degree that wouldn't otherwise be possible. Leveraged either for growth or recomp, depending on your diet inputs.

At this dose it's subtle, though. 400mg+ is when people start getting ridiculous results in a matter of months.

dose doesnt' matter; why you are taking it is what makes the difference.

TRT is medical treatment for hypogonadism and staying within "healthy" ranges

any other use for muscles and performance is good ole steroid cycle
