[QUOTE="MrWrldWide, post: 215831, member: 43214"] I have to concur here. I have no issue with anyone at all exploring TRT for aesthetic reasons, barring a few minor (not really minor) points: 1) 6 mos of hard dieting, working out, experimenting with different supplements, different workout modes, etc - this is not enough!! You need AT LEAST 5 straight years of consistent diet, trying different types of workouts, different splits, different routines, different supplements, etc - to even get anywhere close to your natural, genetic potential. Hell, it takes 12-18 mos of near perfection to even get all those newbie gains everyone misses so much. As an example, have you tried anything besides just lifting weights? Crossfit, MMA, HIIT, etc? Have you tried natural bulking and cutting diet cycles? Have you tried full-body splits or two-time-per-week splits, or cardio morning/lifting evening splits? Have you tried supplementing with BCAAs, protein, creatine, etc, etc, while factoring timing relative to workout and rest? You must work-through/experiment with all of these things and find the combo that works for you and implement for a couple of years before getting anywhere close to your natural potential. 2) As many here have said, once you start down the road of TRT, you're almost guaranteed to be on it for life, even if you think you're not. It's possible you might be one of those people who somehow does a couple of cycles, then never touches the stuff again. But, that's highly unlikely. Once one feels the incredible mental and physical benefits of exogenous T (or other AAS for that matter), they're unlikely to ever want to give that up. Not a deal-breaker, by any means - just something to think about. 3) Fertility - you run tremendous risk of losing fertility with TRT. I started TRT after several extremely low T tests, and having already had 3 kids. Despite that, I'm now struggling to regain my fertility b/c Mama wants one more. And, believe me brother, "struggling" is an understatement when Mama wants a baby before her clock runs out and you've got no swimmers due to years of TRT and best-case scenarios processes are measured in months; not days or weeks. You just have to trust me on that one. IF you've thought through all of this, and still decide you want to take the risk, then by all means, I see no problem with trying to optimize your T (and other hormones, if necessary) in order to look and feel like the best version of yourself. While I certainly noticed very nice physical enhancement on TRT, the biggest benefits were the extra energy, mental clarity and focus, and drive/ambition I felt from it. All of which I never knew I was missing until having my T tested and realizing I had the TT levels of an 80-something year old man. Wish you all the best in your decision, and hope you're long-term happy with whatever direction you decide to take it. [/QUOTE]
