lets try and find out how much he was taking
Testosterone: let's assume this (550ng/ml) is total T (specifics not indicated on report)
keep in mind normal high T values in young men are: 10mg/day T production
Blood volume: normal average weighing adult (72kg, 160pounds) has approx. 4,7Liters or 1,24gallon or 5quarts
regularly, blood volume is calculated on +- 68ml/kg basis
so in his case: 290ish pounds or 130kg BW multiplied by 68ml = roughly 8liters of blood (downsized)
i'm mentioning this difference because someone who weighs less than him would have yielded even higher blood results(!) for the same amount of injected mgs
unless anti aromatase was used, part of his T injections would have been converted (and ongoing) to Estrogen
also DHT conversion
for the sake of positive bias, we won't try to calculate that
Also, test esters have different half lives, so in order for us to be positively biased as to how much he jected, we'll take one of the more common longer versions: TE
(U'd need to inject more Prop compared to Enanth if u want to achieve an equal T concentration in blood)
Example:
100mg TE after 10 days: 50mg still in blood
100mg TP after 10 days: +-12mg still in blood
theoretically, this means that if we want to achieve 50mg of active T after 10 days with T prop, we'd have to inject 400mg
so u see, calculating his cycle as positively biased as possible (as low as possible) would have us go for minimal injections of TE
Also, don't forget a 100mg inject of TE is actually only about 70mg of T, the remainder 30mg being ester weight
pos bias wont account for that
SO: according to dose response studies in endogenous T deficient men, T enanthate 50mg/wk resulted in approx. 306ng/dl (3,06ng/ml) blood concentrations (5month study)
(blood analysis occurred at 7 day intervals)
600mg TE/wk = 2307ng/dl (23ng/ml)
(dose response curve: 12 times more T injected yet only 7 times more T in blood concentration, lets call this factor potency)
lets assume potency is halved every 500mg (again pos bias)
going from 23ng/ml to 550ng/ml would mean shooting 24 times 50mg (1200mg) to obtain a clean result
however, including potency factor this would mean approx 5gr of T/ 7days
NOW: add in all the other factors and you arrive at a hypothetical 8+ gr/ T
I'd speculate even higher, 10+ gr/wk (TE) and i'm being very cautious (TP even higher!)
i mean, we all knew this, its just nice to have the numbers adding up..
