So who is happy with TRT? Who wish they never started?

[RickB]

sorry if came off as criticism... just wanted to dispel some broscience re "the pump".. as its not a good thing other than means ur getting a good workout... but if sustained and comes TOO easy just keep an eye on that BP as would be curious how much higher its gotten.... cheers!

Yeah it came off as criticism out of the blue, mainly because this thread was just trying to tell the OP about what we liked about trt, but no worries, apology accepted.

I've read theories saying the pump is beneficial to hypertrophy, but I know that is not universally accepted. Regardless, it is a motivator for me. It's like using a pre-workout. It's not necessary, but it makes things feel right. I've done keto and have done plenty of workouts with no pump, and they just feel off.

@Ribeye good news. glad for you. Can you share what your protocol is? Did you have success right off the bat or did you have to adjust?
Thank you

I am not sure where to start, except to say, TRT has turned my life around 180 degrees! I am back to my old self. I have much more energy, stamina, desire to participate in life's great fun things. I had a total T measured three times, as low as 153. It sucked. Sex was out of the question. Even with high doses of viagra. not only that, I had little drive, or desire too, even though I knew I wanted more. My lipid profiles have improved, my A1C has improved, I am by most any measure a better, healthier person. And a much happier person. I am back to many of my old hobbies. My wife can't believe the difference in me, as I went from begging her not to order large bags of dog food (they weigh 37 - 45 lbs) because I couldn't lift and carry them to me picking them up like next to nothing and carrying them down two flights of steps. I went from sitting on the couch to losing 40lbs so far, and plans to lose another 25 or so. I have not been this small in at least 25 years.But make no mistake, find a good doc who will work with you, and get you started the right way. Someone who will tell what to be careful of, and help you keep from finding the pitfalls. I am now living my best life, and I wouldn't go back no matter what. Quality of life is as important, as just breathing. I truly hope you get help and results, if you need help.

Awesome - curious as to your protocol

I wish i had never started. Simply never found a protocol that worked sustainably.

Reading through this thread, i see a lot of guys that seem to have found the one variable that they had to fix for their protocols to work (hcg/no hcg/ dose etc)

I have gone through those phases where everything seemed right for a few months after a change.. until it wasnt and then i had to search for a new solution again. Tiresome.

Not to say it isnt possible of course.

why Do you wish you never started ? Obviously you didnt feel well, leading you to trt.
