 Alright guys what is up, Jake here with back and last week you know you might have seen I made a quick video on the signs and symptoms of low testosterone, what were the normal ranges and basically you know immediately following that video I went down to the doctor, I got a full blood test, I got my testosterone checked as well as a few other things and I've got my results right here, so I've already had a look and you know I'm happy, I'm content. The main reason I got my testosterone checked was for my own you know personal knowledge, I just wanted to know what my number was, I didn't particularly think that I had low testosterone although I had had some sort of you know irrational sort of mood swings and stuff that I thought this is not really normal so anyways I went down there, everything came back normal, my range is within the normal range, now before I go and tell you my number let's just talk about what the numbers mean, so in Australia it seems that we have a slightly different measure of testosterone than they use in you know America and other places, so in America or most other places that I see it quoted they use a measurement of nanograms per deciliter which is a higher number, so a normal range, a normal testosterone range in nanograms per deciliter is from 270 to 1070, okay, so the equivalent of that in the unit of measure that they use here in Australia which is called nanomoles per litre, 270 nanograms per deciliter is 9.4 nanomoles per litre and 1070 nanograms per deciliter is 37.1 nanomoles per litre, so a normal testosterone range in nanomoles per litre is from 9.4 to 37.1. Now TRT is recommended 100% from people from 0 to 8, if you're from 8 to 12 you're getting in that normal range but you're still quite low, TRT would be discussed and you know maybe required if you want to go down that path, from 12 to 15 you're obviously in the normal range but you're still quite low, TRT is discussed but it's not recommended, you know if for whatever reason your testosterone is low it may come back up depending on your age etc but from 15 and above so obviously 15 to 37 is considered normal and you've got nothing to worry about, so my result guys came in at, where is it, 19.6, like I said before the normal range is 9.4 to 37.1, I came in at 19.6, it's not hugely high which I kind of hoped it would be but in saying that I was kind of scared at the same time because let's say it was low and the doctor started fucking talking to me about TRT you know I'd be like, I'd be thinking fuck you know I'm natural man, I'm natty I can't do that shit, so anyways guys I'm pretty pleased, 19.6 you know you can't really go wrong, if I'm going to convert that into nanograms per deciliter obviously the normal range was 270 to 1070 and at 19.6 that means I'm at 565 nanograms per deciliter so it's in the normal range it's slightly low, it's slightly on the low side of normal but you know I'm happy and you know I've made a few gains here and there over the last few years so let's hope it continues but that was just a bit of fun guys, I recommend you guys get yours tested, if you go to a place like I did called Headspace it's a doctor, it's a GP service that is free for people who are under age 25 or under age 26 so that's what I did, I just booked an appointment, got a free referral from the GP and went to pathology and got my bloods done so it's not hard guys you just need a morning free to go and get it done and it's interesting, it's really interesting especially in the world of bodybuilding I mean it's everything testosterone so yeah 19.6, until next time guys have a great day, make some gains, train hard, eat well, kick some goals, I'll see you in the next one, peace.
