Been lurking on the forums and decided to post up a thread for some advice. i used to be a pro wrestler but injuries ended my career early. i'm healthy enough to lift and do steroids and went and did bloods and they came in at 200 which is super low. I am only 29 years old so those levels are really bad. my doctor wants to put me on 50mgs a week of test, is that a low dose?
i've never heard of someone at 50mgs a week. the lowest trt dosage i have seen with bloods that worked was around 80-90.
trt is about replacing what your body would naturally produce on its own. usually that dose is around 100-125mgs a week

That is a very low dose if it is a weekly number. The goal is to be in the high end of the normal range and that typically requires around 100-200mg per week depending on the individual.
Did you abuse alot of gear in the past ? At that age and that number that low assuming it's the total testosterone in the 200s also 50mg a week I've never heard of a trt protocol that low

Find another doctor.
As someone who is on TRT I can say that is definitely too low. I doubt 50mg would put you much higher than your natural level of 200, if at all.
It's tough to find a good TRT doc because alot of them are more worried about money than your health. Everybody is different and it is all about dialing in what works for you. The idea is to replace natural test levels and put you in the normal zone which is typically 600-800.
For me, this is about 125mg a week. My old doc was overdosing me and keeping me over 1000 which can cause heart, prostate and other issues.
I'd recommend either finding another doc or a good source.

I'm 45 and been on trt for 4 years. I finally told the doctors to go to hell and got my own gear. I feel much better with 1cc 50/50 split of deca and test e every 10days,with proviron thrown in every now and then. Every one is different so it will take a while to get your dose right.
If your doc is good, he/she will collectively work with you to develop a protocol that you both feel comfortable with. I'm in my 40s and have been on for 4 years. First 1.5 was a roller coaster trying to find the right doc and get dialed in. Now, it's all good. And don't base your dosage on someone elses. I did this in the beginning with some buddies.......... Wrong. Go by your individual labs and how you feel, you'll never go wrong.
This. But there is a difference between bloods showing a good or great level vs how we feel which seems to differ from one person to the next.
