900 after having juiced "heavily" and now obviously older sounds too good :-\

I don't know about the statistics but how many men score a 900 out of say a 100 or 1000 tested? Anyone care to pull up the stats...

Initially I was thrilled as it is over double of what it was 5 years ago. My efforts to restore my body through quitting booze and juice have been fruitful. But while it has doubled, which is great, I wonder if it's still considered low by getbig standards (the only standards that are actually worth a damn)
if you haven’t had pussy in a long time that also lowers it too it’s a proven fact

Yes, I was on cloud nine while reading the result. I like to think my tinfoil hat lifestyle is paying off.

What does your diet look like and do you take any supplements?

What does your diet look like and do you take any supplements?
On weekdays, I often (but not always) eat only once a day in the evening, as I put a good amount of faith in the contestable health claims linked to that practice. Very often whole eggs (I buy the most expensive ones that claim the chickens live naturally, even though I have no solid evidence), often strip loin, sometimes beef hamburger meat, rice, pasta, very often roasted chicken with the skin (this is one of the items in my diet that I question as I am not sure what mystery concoctions they grease up the chicken with), I only use natural butter from grass fed cows, no seed oils, no fake "healthy butter", sometimes I put some olive oil on my pasta. Make my own tomato sauce, never eat any premade sauces. I also often eat prawns in self made sauce based on 35% fat cream. Goat milk cheese as well. A great variety of different fruits but not in huge quantities. I drink mostly water, but sometimes make some fruit smoothies. I still drink coffee during the week usually one a day but I think its probably unhealthy. I dont drink any alcohol. I avoid plastics as much as realistic for soneone who gets his food from the supermarket. Also dont use teflon pans and all kinds of tinfoil hat precautionary measures which are not always incontestable.

Mainstream would expect my cholesterol to be trash (because of the eggs, the butter, the chicken skin..) but it is great (I think)
Total 142 mg/dL
Hdl 53 mg/dL
Non hdl 89 mg/dL
Total to hdl ratio 2.68 mg/mg
Ldl calculated 76 mg/dL
Triglicerides 51 mg/dL

I take lot of vitamins and high grade fish oil because I was led to believe it is good for cholesterol

Adolescence is a time of rapid increases in testosterone in males, coinciding with the onset of male puberty. By a male's early 20s, their testosterone levels are typically between 409-558 ng/dL, and in the second half of their 20s, between 413-575 ng/dL.7

900 is in the top 5%

Dirt slavins says stay above 1400

Mine was 2887 on 250 test and 20 dbol

Doctor clod pee says his clients on 20 mgs daily 140 weekly have a consistent reading of 1400 throughput usage

Yes, but on the other hand, they said that our great grandfathers test blew our test out of the water. This is the framing of my question. What is truly good?

Its not just total t levels

There are a myriad of other factors

Ability to withstand the pain of hard hard training which I have in SPADES

Myostatain deficiency which I lack severely

Etc

I have psychologically moved on from bodybuilding years ago after coming to terms with the reality about how damaging it is to health as well as how empty it is to live by the approval of others of our muscles. You should consider it and be free.

Total testosterone doesn’t tell the whole story. Mine is always 800-1000 naturally but is 99% bound up

Pulled up the exact figures
Total test: 885 ng/dL (as I said "just" under 900)
Free test 12.98 ng/dL (so also here then 99% is bound up?)
Test binding globuline: 1874.73 ng/dL

What determines how much test is bound up?

Trying to understand why I need so much sleep. On weekends I need to sleep several hours in the afternoons.

You didn't say how old you are.  (Or I missed it when reading).   But the test binding function of SHBG causes you to have less free test (and estrogen and DHT) in your body that can be used.   It is when the hormone is bound (gets stuck basically) to a protein in the blood and are rendered inactive.  So they are ineffective for the purpose they normally are used for.  High SHBG have all the classic signs and symptoms of low testosterone.  Fatigue, memory fog, irritability, low sex drive, loss in normal interests, etc.

Some underlying issues with the liver or thyroid can cause this.  Along with other medications contributing.  Your doctor can dig deeper into your lab results and get a better picture.

Jack off more often 5 to 6 times a day it’ll help raise it in fact, I recommend it after every meal and snack you can even add that creamer yogurt to your coffee for protein

Very dumb idea for your health and will raise your prolactin levels too.

Sure sign of mental illness an activity like this.

I'll be turning 50 shortly. Will try to see an endocrinologist about it.

You’ll either die of starvation, infection from being filthy or prostate cancer it seems. Possibly of being a pussy and looking the wrong way at someone in one of your fantasy delusions

I think it’s turned out to be bullshit based on the way they did the measuring, changes in methods and much smaller sample sizes. Not sure
