I finished researching past forum posts on Testosterone levels. Thanks to you guys I knew what questions to ask. I just got my results back today. I wanted to post them and get your opinions.
39 yrs old, BW 265 (Down from 283), Bf% 24 (Down 3%) Goal Fat loss (Bf% goal of 10%) - coming off 2 years of Power lifting and not watching my diet at all (Yeah Chris, I was a big fat strong guy, I hate when I get poked the forehead like that). Who needed a 6 pack when I have a Keg??
My Testosterone level 450 - Lab Range 400-1080 (20-39 yrs) 350-890 for (40-59 yrs).
Free T levels 75.8 Lab range 47-244
Thyroid Function lvl came back as normal.
Total Cholesterol 222 (thats a little high)
Triglycerides 71
HDL (good Cholesterol) 46
LDL (Bad Cholesteriol) 162 (High as well)
I wasn’t at all pleased with the numbers, the Test levels seem very low to me even at my age and I thought the Cholesterol would be much lower since I have been eating clean and doing Cardio since Oct. I had been using Tribex & M for about 1 week before the blood was drawn, been on it for three weeks now. I plan on getting a retest in 6 to 8 weeks. Thanks for any insights; I really do appreciate your efforts on this forum.
Oh and I ran the post through the “Pet Peeves” filter and it only had 5 hits so I thought it was safe to post it. Colin Wilson
