Low Testosterone at my weight?

[whiplashx2007]

I never thought I of all people would have this issue, but it seems fate has a sense of humor.
I was close to starting my first PH, so I went in to get some blood work done to get a before/after numbers.
My blood work was great in all aspects and I had healthy levels all across the board, then my Testosterone results came back.

I had my blood work done in the afternoon about 4 P.m. and the results were:
260 ng/dl - Total
9.1 ng/dl - Free

Bench - 395(SO CLOSE!!!)
Deadlift - 625
Squat - 515

The doctor didn't take it serious, and these were his reasons:
I have a beard that would make grizzly Adams jealous
I had a lean bodyweight of 205(275 total)
I do not have erectile issues
I do not have low libido


Here is a little honesty on my part:
I get maybe 6 hours a sleep a night during the week(7 if i am lucky)
I have not taken a week off in a long time
I have a high BMI from my two year bulking session.(210 to 280 in two years)

A seasoned lifter friend of mine told me to not think about it so much and that everyone's body is different and can run on different amounts of hormones.
This has been bugging me, so I figured I would ask you guys what you think. Thanks ahead of time and I will answer any questions if there are any.

My main question is, do you think that I need to be worrying about this?

Doctor says you're fine, but you go and ask the internet....


You suffer no symptoms, so I wouldn't worry about it. Bringing your bodyfat down may help though. Or just go & get a second opinion.

Also, remove the drug reference or go bye bye.

Doctors don't lift and they are reading between two numbers for a "range" they describe as normal. I am asking other people who lift for their opinions.
Why ask a florist about how to fix a car?

And you are within that range. You see doctors for medical advice, not training advice.

I wouldn't ask Jay Cutler to perform heart surgery either.

I'm looking for answers from people that may have had the same issues in the past.

Your numbers are low, but it is a single reading. If you aren't having low T signs then why are you worried?

Also, being fat doesn't exactly help your hormone levels. With LBM of 205 and a weight of 280 then you have 75 lbs of fat. That puts you over 25% bf percentage. I don't know why you'd bulk to that level, because it isn't particularly healthy or productive.

Finally, why the hell does it matter if your going to run PHs and screw up your hormones anyways? Not to mention, an only PH run is not advisable unless you plan it very smartly, but for some reason I doubt you have.

lmfao you're so much of a limpdicked pussy that you can't even admit that you don't support gay marriage while you spent hours arguing against it, at least admit that you're wrong rather than trying to fall back on "oh but I don't REALLY not support gay marriage! but the majority of Americans - oh wait the majority of Americans do support gay marriage...huh... RELIGIOUS RIGHTS RELIGIOUS RIGHTS" and ignoring me completely slamdunking your dumb ass point about how marriage is between a man and a woman. is your ass jealous of how much sht comes out of your mouth or what
