there is no doctor who would prescribe you test based on those blood results. I had to tank mine to double digits to get a script(would not recommend either)

Optimize your sleep and diet, then check again. Those aren't low numbers.

Do not consider it until you have multiple tests months apart below 400 ng/dl total test.

The answer is a hard no, I nor any one else would prescribe you

OJ levels aren't nearly as important as you all want to believe




I've seen a lot of huge men in the 200-300 ng/dL range; that's still 5x higher than a woman will ever see in her peak and we know wimmenz can get pretty damn big with good genetics

Girls with muscle is fukin groce though

Absolutely not. Mine was always in the low 320s (low-normal) and I was still able to get my BP 1RM to 465. Yours is pretty good. If you want to get it higher, then you need to:
1.) Get your bf% to around 10-12%
2.) Eat a diet that specifically supports test production
3.) Workout if you arent already and crate the need for the body to increase your natural T production by doing the major compound lifts, training for hypertrophy and getting polenty of rest

find an exogenous source of T (sarms, brohormones, cell tech, straight test ect). Take it for a few weeks and your body will stop its natural production. You can basically track the shutdown by monitoring the shrinking of your testicles. When you stop making your own and you stop getting it externally, your sleep will go to chit and you wont be able to gain any LBM or drop any fat. If you cycle anything (sarms, prohormones, cell tech) then you runt he risk of fukking up your lipid profiles and screwing up your mental state so there is that to consider. But sarms and pro hormones are easy to get. They are illegal to take but legal as a research chemical so as long as you give them to your lab rat then its totally cool. They are just expensive

This sounds like one of the stupidest, least thought out (impulsive) things you could possibly do.
