[QUOTE="Style, post: 144567, member: 2777"] I am almost 50, my doctor tested my T about 4-5 years as part of an annual physical and found it to be low. I didn't know it was. I was tired and slightly overweight and walked the dog regularly but didn't go to a gym. I had a job that involved a lot of travel, restaurant food and didn't really leave time for a good gym workout schedule. I also had a undescended testicle as a kid and I think the surgery to fix it probably dropped my T levels. I didn't hit Puberty until i was like 17 years old. I tried the T gel, that didn't work so I've been taking a shot once a week of testosterone cypionate for the past 3-4 years. I don't know if that counts as long-term, but its been long-enough for me to feel consistently happier even under stressful circumstances. I read this website mostly for a better understanding of TRT and to make sure that I recognize any symptoms or issues if they arise. so far, everything has been good. I got laid off from my job last summer and got really depressed, so I joined a gym. Exercise is as effective as most anti-depression medication with less side effects - plus without health insurance, a gym was cheaper. I've been working out in a group barbell class called "BodyPump" consistently for an hour 3x week for the past 8 months. I don't feel like I'm 30, but I look pretty good and haven't dieted at all. My T-Shirts are tight on my biceps, my butt looks like a Greek Statue, my back doesn't hurt (no more monthly chiropractor visits) and I have calf muscles now. I would say that half of the women in the class still do larger weights than me, and complete more squats and lunges than I can do. I think the TRT has helped to put the muscle on (my Test levels are usually around 700-900 ng/dl and I test quarterly), but I also put in a lot of work and sweat. I would definitely recommend a work-out routine to anyone, if on TRT or not. Getting the blood pumping and being in shape will definitely help with libido and overall health. I haven't gotten sick in the past year and my wife has caught colds that put her in bed for 3 days. [/QUOTE]
