I am considering taking TRT...
    #22276397 - 09/22/15 09:11 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I was very obese when I was younger. I have done quite a lot of research in the past, and many run testosterone when they are older for this reason

I have no personal experience in this area. But I have given it a lot of thought. I would be starting once I recover all of my "gains" that I lost from my spinal injury. This would be about a year. This is semi for the gains in the gym, but mainly for the effects on motivation, focus etc.

Before I take anything, I am going to continue generally healthy habits and heavy lifting for another year, and get tested for my testosterone every 3-6 months. If I remain below what I plan (I am planning on a realistic number based on my next blood test), then I will take a low dose of TRT

Any advice or anecdotes will be appreaciated. I am mainly concerned about the side effects of what I take

TRT all depends on dose. If you don't exceed the normal ranges of therapy (200mg/month), you won't have any sides other than boners, confidence and lean muscle.

Once you exceed the therapy limit and start to go into higher dosages (500mg +/week), the sides are still minimal compared to other AAS but gyno, abnormal blood lab values and hair loss are the big ones to worry about. Gyno is a bitch.

Just know that once you start TRT, it will fuck up your remaining natural T production and you will become dependent on it for the rest of your life.

So there is no way I could try a tiny "cycle" just once? For a month?

No. Everything about that is a terrible idea. Don't do that.

The benefits won't be seen until after 2-3 months. TRT is a permanent answer.

Try a natural testosterone booster if you are looking for something of a much shorter duration.

If you just plan on taking a low dose I can't imagine any problems. But steroid escalation and T are a regrettable path IME. You can get strong naturaly and the gains will stick. Also you aren't throwing any extra drugs in your system. You need the space for whats important. :4acomet:

Lol I love 4acomet

But I guess there is no simply "trying things out" huh...This is a much bigger decision than I first thought...

I guess I will try natural methods for 3 more months, then try a test booster. If I am still lower than I wanted, I will do TRT

So I understood it; test boosters rarely work that well
