Thanks for all your replies/info. Much appreciated. I'm Retired USAF and get treated at the local Military base's Internal Medicine Clinic.

Type 2 and Low T.... On TRT and Trying to gain more Muscle Mass
I actually am taking L-Arginine as well. I'm not sure yet as too how much protein/carbs I need. I did tell my Doc about my goals and asked if I perhaps need more TSTO. He said as long as my energy/stamina/vitality are good stay status quo. I would think I need a bit more TSTO to boost...- Labrat0116

Type 2 and Low T.... On TRT and Trying to gain more Muscle Mass
Thanks. I will check them out. I picked up the Body Beast program (used..cheap). It's very detailed and pretty much body builder oriented. I simply don't have the time or dedication for that level of workouts. Plus the eating plans would destroy my BS's.- Labrat0116

Type 2 and Low T.... On TRT and Trying to gain more Muscle Mass
Thanks for your reply/suggestion Jay. On a pretty tight budget at the time so I need to coach myself. My health conditions are pretty much under control. I do need to learn how to eat to keep control of my BS's and not go Hypo (Low BSs). I need to know how much TRT I really need to get the...- Labrat0116

Type 2 and Low T.... On TRT and Trying to gain more Muscle Mass
Sure. Thank you for your reply. I've been on TRT for the past 2 years. Went to the doc last week. He said Free T3 was a high and Total TSTO was still low. I forget to get the actual numbers but will post them when I get them. I do eat very healthy overall. AM BS usually running a bit high...- Labrat0116
