Dr. Thank you for your time in addressing these issues on the podcast. Your experience, training and wisdom is greatly appreciated. One question I had that was touched upon but not really answered was when does testosterone usage become abusive, and in what respect? I do agree with Rip's assessment that regularly using over 500mgs of test is probably for physique/performance enhancement purposes, not for general health and longevity purposes. But in what respect is it BAD? You did a great job of addressing and dispelling a number of myths about testosterone usage (reference range, estradiol, H&H, clotting, prostate cancer, etc). so thank you for that. But what about someone who WANTS to take testosterone to obtain supra-physiological levels to obtain supra-physiological results in either performance or physique?
At what point with testosterone usage for performance enhancing/physique enhancing purposes DO problems manifest and what are they likely to be they be?
Thank you for your time and patience.
