Testosterone replacement therapy

SARMS and MENT, research those.

I used DHEA and testosterone gel, and went from sub 200 to 550 on my T levels. I am almost 55. Dropped 30 lbs and added muscle. I am looking at adding osterine to my "supplements".

I don't think you should necessarily be asking TRP for advice on you going on HRT/TRT as it already seems to me, you are trying to use steroids (aka drugs) for reasons other than what it's used for

TRT/HRT is an absolute, I repeat absolute last resort for men to achieve homeostasis who have dangerously or atleast unhealthy levels of low testosterone. Example: You can't get your cock hard at 32 because of all the damage you've done by taking steroids your whole life and not taking PCT or coming off properly.

I strongly suggest you post this same question on the forums at steroid.com or anabolicminds.com and see the responses you get.

First off, have you ever cycled before? How many cycles have you done? What is your age? When did you get your blood panel done that you know that your T levels are 400ng/dl? Was that after a cycle or after PCT?

normal test levels are between 300-1000 ng/dl, depending on your age. While I understand your pain that 400 ng/dl is low, you still haven't told us how old you are? If you're talking about "academia", I assume your college aged-ish? And if that's the case then fuck TRT. You are way too young

TRT has absolutely no side affects regarding "career and academia", I don't know where you got that ridiculous notion. If a man had low testosterone and needed TRT, his fitness, academia, and career would all IMPROVE, because his test was so low that it was affecting his serotonin and cognitive abilities.

There's no question that raising testosterone will make you more Red Pill-ish, however, I think what you're doing is actually Blue Pill. Here's why:

"I know that in order to succeed I need steroids".

Dude? Are you kidding? So you need a drug to be a good bodybuilder? That's like saying you can't game girls when you're out without the use of alcohol or Molly. Total Blue Pill.

Getting on TRT is like a heroine addict getting on methadone for the rest of his life, versus solving the real problem. You dig?

TRT is permanent. Forever. You're body will never produce natural test again. You can forget your chances of ever having kids. NO KIDS. Is it possible? Yeah. But your chances are like 1 in 10. You forget to bring your AndroGel with you on vacation? Guess what. Your now losing test until you find more. AKA losing sex drive.

Oh, you wind up getting locked up? Doing 30 days in jail? You're out of luck buddy. You are going to be literally CASTRATE for as long as it takes you to get your hands on more unnatural testosterone. Have you ever come off a cycle of juice cold turkey? Well that's what it would be like. You having the testosterone level of a 4 year old girl, if god forbid you couldn't get to your prescription for any prolonged length of time. That means no energy, depression, cortisol crash, unstable mood etc

The dosage of Test the doctor would prescribe you WOULD NOT be reflective of any results or experience you had while taking a recreational dose of Test. They would probably give you maybe 1 shot a week, even less maybe like 100mg/mL a week?

Its bad for your lipid and cholesterol profiles to be on synthetic test for so long. Sure, it's not like being on a permanent 500mg/mL cycle (which I know many folks who are and regret it) but if you can avoid it...?

The doctor likely may not consider TRT for you since 400ng/dl is technically within normal range.

So what's my solution instead?

Tell us whether your test has always been low, or it's just low from you cycling so many times? In any event you should do what the above post said Look into SARMs and PCT. Blast some Nova/Clomid and maybe HCG and then get bloodwork done 6 weeks after and see if your natty test goes up.

I didn't mean to ramble on and write a book, definitely not flaming you, but as a long time gym rat/steroid user this caught my eye, and I don't want to see you become dependent on something for the rest of your life and regret it.

Please repost your question on a steroid or bodybuilding forum, because it is way too scientific and medically technical to relate to RedPill IMHO, and I don't think you're going to get the most knowledgeable answer here. Please realize the weight and seriousness of this decision.

And if all else fails, then perhaps you can consider TRT.

Lmao don't listen to Tommy 407, he doesn't have a fucking clue.

Trt will be fine for you, it won't hinder your cognitive abilities, and you will still be able to have kids.. Unlike what dumbfuck said lmao
