[QUOTE="madman, post: 108561, member: 13851"] Definitely a bad idea with those levels.....I would be looking into thyroid/adrenals. That would be ridiculous to shut down your natural endogenous production when your t levels are in the mid-normal range and were these tests done in a fasted state between 8-10am as if not your levels may very well be some what higher. Highly doubtful shutting your natty endogenous levels (mid-normal) and starting trt using exogenous testosterone to try and get your levels in the high-normal physiological range will make a big difference in libido or gaining muscle in the gym. How is your lifestyle.....sleep/diet/stress levels/exercise , as lack of sleep, poor diet, excess stress whether mental/physical (over training in the gym) combined with not enough recovery can all have a negative effect on ones libido/overall well being and lack of gaining muscle in the gym. Sure having healthy testosterone levels whether naturally or for those needing trt can improve ones body composition (gains muscle/strength, loss of body fat) but ones diet/training protocol/recovery all play a strong role in results when gaining muscle or loosing excess body fat. The body composition one would attain from using trt doses (mid-normal/high-normal) physiological levels are in no way comparable to the gains in muscle/strength that one would achieve using high doses of testosterone to achieve supra-physiological levels of testosterone. I would think this through deeply and look into your thyroid/adrenal health as a dysfunction of either can cause negative issues regarding libido/energy and drive/recovery among many other issues.
