I work out at least three times a week doing a PPL type program. Was never able to build any muscle mass until TRT. Recovery times are much faster, I can increase weights in all my lifts, and sometimes I can't believe what I'm seeing in the mirror. Lifting is a big part of TRT for me. I always wanted to lift but lost motivation due to lackluster results. Before, I could lift and feel somewhat of a boost but it would fade quickly. Now with TRT, I feel that boost all the time and my muscles respond like an 18 year old...I'm 45. I didn't start TRT with any of this in mind, but the benefits of testosterone and working out cannot be denied so why not lift.
Libido is vastly improved and as good or better than prior to the onset of hypogonadism. I've had ED issues but this seems to be a common thing with us on TRT. Seems this is something not fully understood so I'm looking into PDE-5 inhibitors even though I hate to think I will need them. My wife is a Defy patient as well and on testosterone cream. We basically can't stop so Cialis might be a necessity just to keep the flag from flying half mast.
