[QUOTE="Jinzang, post: 174521, member: 12925"] It looks like the US Military is still considering giving testosterone shots to Special Operations Forces. I have mixed feeling about this. The article is in the Journal of Special Operations Medicine, the [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Effect+of+Special+Operations+Training+on+Testosterone%2C+Lean+Body+Mass%2C+and+Strength']abstract is from PubMed[/URL]. The conclusion states: "Special Operations Forces training results in decreased testosterone (-6.3%), LBM (-4.6%), and strength (-11.7%), tied to energy deficits (-3,351 kcal/day) and sleep deprivation (3 hours/ day). Exogenous testosterone therapy increases LBM (6.2%), strength (7.9-14.8%), reverses cachexia (2.0%) and increases strength (12.7%) in those with chronic diseases. Therefore, testosterone supplementation in SOF may attenuate changes in body composition and muscle function during training and sustained Special Operations (SUSOPS)." [/QUOTE]
