This is worth talking about for sure, but I wouldn't recommend T-injections for young people. The thing about testosterone or any hormone we work with is, the human body produces this naturally. Some people get more than others and some people have a shortage, but for the most part and depending on your diet, most people produce adequate or near-adequate levels of every hormone they need. The problem with injections is that by taking them, your body recognizes them and uses it as an excuse to stop producing it on its own. The more you rely on injections, the less testosterone your body will produce on its own in the long run. It's great if you're a guy later in life and you don't produce as much as you did in your 20's, but if you're young, you can build a dependence on it earlier than normal. Just be smart about it if you do it.

Going to get my labs done this weekend. Doctor said that I seem to be a prime candidate for test injections. I'm 30, one of my nipples is puffy, receding hairline, patchy beard, low mental libido (not physical), loosing muscle mass and easy to gain body fat even though I workout 5 days a week.

Why do you need FORMATTING

I wanted to make a post like this, as I've been on the fence for some time about trying test. Have you noticed effects aside from obvious mass or recovery like social symptoms, DGAF, libido, confidence, etc? You mind saying what you're on?

So many bros are on gear than most people realize. Luckily I don't need it "yet".

The thing about carbohydrates be it simple or complex (correct me if I am wrong but I have run this by a biochemist which agrees with the theory) is it's fine if you take it at the right time.

Post workout a spike of sugar and the insulin response will recharge your cell P and A rather than being converted to fat. You need to combine it with protein to get the best effects. However at the same time it's a balancing act as you need to reduce sugar to become lean.

For people who are underweight it's an effective tool to gain size quickly but once you reach your target you need to end the process.

However as these conflicting articles and studies they references show the jury is still out.

I don't think anyone under 30 should think about TRT; most hormonal issues are caused by lifestyle - not enough protein and fats, too much carbs and alcohol. Not enough intense activity, too much TV watching.

But as one gets older it's definitely smart to think about optimising hormone levels. Being in the upper-natural range in your 30s and older is like living life on cheat mode. It's like a man in the 19th century having access to modern drugs and medicines, why not take advantage of it?
