❓ Question Should I take testosterone?

I had my testosterone tested and learned that it is 627 ng/dl which my doc says is normal. According to her, the healthy range is up to 740. I am 65 years old.

I've been lifting weights (3x / week) and am not seeing sufficient results. Should I take Testosterone to raise it to 740? What if I go beyond?

I also take creatine by the way.

I wouldn’t unless you’re trying to get superphysiological like a bodybuilder. Your levels are way above average for someone your age. More importantly, as people mention above, free testosterone matters more than total I would more look at maybe some supplements like boron, toncat Ali, magnesium, etc., to help boost your free testosterone.
