What Are Optimal Testosterone Levels for Men on TRT? Best Testosterone Levels For Men?
What Are Optimal Testosterone Levels for Men on TRT? This is an age old question. Does lifestyle make a difference to what testosterone levels would make a man optimized? Do men who have more active lifestyles need more testosterone? Have our bodies adapted to our more sedentary lifestyles and now need less testosterone?
what’s going on guys tester levels here
thanks for being here thanks for the
support
you guys are awesome and today i’m going
to give you
my opinion just some random guy on the
internet’s opinion on what the most
optimal testosterone levels are for men
and actually youtube has been pretty
cool lately about not demonetizing my
videos
thank you youtube but as this is gonna
be a pretty
manly video we’re gonna run a quick
medal to the disclaimer we’ll be right
back
optimal can mean a lot of different
things a lot of
men will look at the lab ranges and if
they’re
you know in the middle or toward the
upper end of that they feel that’s
optimal
and it could be for them it may be
but let’s just touch on lab ranges real
quick
lab ranges are not based on
evidence and studies showing you know
where men feel good or where men don’t
experience as many
symptoms that are typically associated
with low testosterone
what lab ranges do what they do is they
basically
you know because they take so much blood
let’s just say lab corp
they take a lot of blood they do a lot
of tests so they compile all those and
supposedly they do you know throw out
some super lows and some super highs
and they get a range now they’re not
saying that
if you’re in range at you know 280 or
something like that
that you should feel good they’re just
saying that these are the ranges
average ranges that we see from the
population that we’ve tested
and the population they’ve tested
go to walmart and just walk around
walmart and see all the guys that are
walking around walmart
do most of them look optimal do most of
them look
dialed in do most of them look like they
have their [ __ ] together
probably not but that’s the population
of you know men that they use for these
tests and it’s
even though some of the ones that are
healthy with all the bad stuff that’s
in our food in plastics in the water not
getting enough sun too much stress not
getting enough sleep
all that good stuff i mean it just
pushes the bar down for everyone
so that’s why i don’t like to use ranges
i don’t think that’s where men should be
optimal
or your base being optimal on that and
i’ve seen these lab ranges go down
i actually saw some guy post on reddit
though his range is for his test i don’t
even know what lab it was
the low was 175 and i think the high was
like
- lab courts what like 264 to 9
16 or something like that so jimmy just
by going to a different lab
you know buddy could go to the lab where
it’s 175 and he pulls
you know a 185 his doctor’s like in
range you’re good whereas if you went to
lab corp they’d be like okay you’re low
but we’re probably gonna refer you to
someone else or we’re not really going
to treat it
that’s another that’s a whole other
video because he doesn’t have
he has low living in a hut or something
like that like
having to chase like
oh i can’t talk today so optimal is
an interesting word and it can be
different in different situations
so let’s take a guy that you know goes
to the gym
three times a week and he goes to his
office job
sits in an office building comes home
eats dinner watches tv and goes to sleep
what’s an optimal testosterone for that
lifestyle and for that amount of like
physical
activity uh you know throughout the week
you know it’s probably going to be a
little lower than a guy
you know however many hundred years ago
who was walking around the woods for
like two days with a spear
trying to kill some type of animal so
that he could eat
in my opinion that man needs more
testosterone
you know obviously he’s walking all day
it doesn’t have a lot of
calories going through his system so
he’s going to need more testosterone
for you know rebuilding muscle repairing
stuff
extra energy so it’s a little different
and that kind of brings me to
you know normal testosterone levels as
opposed to
optimize testosterone levels i
personally feel
that you know we’ve evolved for
however many years you know and just
recently
in the last 100 200 our lifestyles have
become
easier but i don’t think our bodies have
evolved in those you know 200 years
to necessarily not need more
testosterone
i still think we need more testosterone
but
i don’t know it’s interesting see how it
gets kind of weird
so i think in today’s society
and i see a lot of guys feeling good in
the 7000 to 900 range
that could be a rough ballpark that i
would put you know
where guys feel good where i feel guys
are
optimized i personally feel and this is
just my opinion this is not medical
advice in any way shape or form
that the optimal levels for most guys
who actually exercise and you know do
stuff
is a thousand to twelve hundred that’s
just my personal opinion
i know your doctor probably disagrees
with me
and that’s fine i just feel that you
know our bodies were designed
to have more testosterone and i don’t
believe
in the 200 years we’ve had air
conditioning and cars
and grocery stores that our body has you
know
evolved to say we’re not doing as much
stuff so
you know less testosterone is fine now i
just don’t feel that
let me know in the comments do you agree
with that does that make sense i mean it
makes sense in my brain but
i’m just some random guy on youtube let
me know what you think
and another thing that’s interesting is
you know now at first when trt became
popular
they had lots of studies that showed oh
it correlates with heart disease and it
correlates with prostate cancer
you know if you get thicker blood you
can stroke out and then
now we’ve got a lot newer and better
studies showing that
helps with your heart you know also in
part with estrogen estrogen helps with
your heart as well
they’ve also pretty much shown that trt
or exogenous testosterone doesn’t cause
prostate cancer but if you do develop
prostate cancer
it makes it worse and that’s you know
one of the reasons they treat it by
taking out androgens
anyway and they’ve also got some studies
showing that you know thicker blood
just due to trt not necessarily
lifestyle but trt
is not as bad as they once thought so
you know this is purely just just
speculating here
but if they’re starting to show that
testosterone levels
good testosterone levels which these
days means seven to nine hundred
you know is does a a whole bunch of
other stuff
and you know is not as bad as once we
once thought if
at all you know is is there a benefit to
being in the thousand to
1200 to 1314 is there a benefit to that
i mean
i highly doubt they’re going to do a
study on that i mean it doesn’t seem
like
they’re really pushing male masculinity
these days but
who knows i’ve seen some crazy studies
so maybe someone will uh
you know get a vial and get some guys
and see what happens
so when you talk about testosterone
levels and you talk about tests
you know the word always comes up well
two words actually pop
up steroids and bodybuilders
and you know a lot of people have a
negative connotation with testosterone
because
steroids and you know when you see that
some of these bodybuilders
die at you know 45 50 55 from heart
issues or from whatever else
you know they think okay well these guys
took a lot of testosterone
and that’s probably what killed them and
it may have
i don’t know but you know you also have
to understand that
bodybuilders they’re not just taking
high doses of tests
i mean some of them are taking a gram or
more a week but they’re also taking
you know trend d-ball you know
everything under the sun they’re using
diuretics they’re using you know
thyroid medicine to cut weight i mean
they do a lot of other stuff
so there’s a lot of other contributing
factors that could happen
but i would think you know there’s a big
difference between a
3 000 testosterone level and a 1 000
testosterone level
so i don’t think 1 000 to 1 500
is super dangerous i really don’t and i
know there’s some studies showing that
guys
i think it was up to 600 or 650
milligrams
a week and they didn’t really have any
adverse effects
it’s kind of like if you have a beer or
two a week as opposed to
you know drinking a handle of jack
daniels a week you know i mean
it’s both they’re both alcohol but
they’re different degrees
of consuming them and i’ve never seen
i’ve never seen any type of study
showing
anyone having serious medical conditions
from
higher dose trt i mean obviously you
have to keep on top of
symptoms you know donating blood is
always a good idea
you know keeping most of your stuff in
certain ranges
you know nothing crazy crazy high but
i’ve never seen
any correlation of you know a thousand
or 1200 test level to
heart attack or you know prostate or
stroking out or anything like that
so i just found that interesting i mean
i personally think that
a thousand to twelve hundred is where
guys are
optimal i think normal is in the
seven to nine hundred range and i know a
lot of guys do feel
good there um but i think if you’re
going to the gym
five days a week you leave a very active
lifestyle or
you have a lot of stress in your job or
you have to do
you know you work on a construction site
and you’re working hard you’re working
physically
all day i don’t think 700
you know in that area is really optimal
for you now
i’m not a doctor obviously this is just
my opinion i’m just some idiot on the
internet who has a camera and can upload
videos to youtube
but that’s just my personal thought you
know i think if you’re really active
like
more man doing more manly stuff on a
daily basis
i personally think that higher
testosterone levels help
help you recover help you feel better
hope your muscles grow when they need to
just my two cents guys let me know your
comments on this i’m actually really
interested to see what you guys have to
say about this
because i know a lot of guys are feeling
feeling good at seven to nine hundred
have you ever tried a thousand to two
hundred or twelve 1200
anyway guys let me know in the comments
if you like the video click on the like
always helps helps a little youtube
algorithm which now that i’m not getting
demonetized all the time
it’s pretty nice so anyway guys
as always you’re awesome and get your
levels tested
