[QUOTE="madman, post: 107064, member: 13851"] Sure training is part of the equation but you never once mention your diet which is the critical factor regarding weight loss/gain (fat/muscle) and most importantly your OVERALL hormones (testosterone, thyroid, adrenals). Before even thinking about trt you need to forget about how much you train or what you are doing as for all we know you may have low t which will increase ones chance of gaining adipose and losing muscle tissue. You may also have a dysfunctional thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) which can mimic the symptoms of low t and of course lower ones metabolism to the point where putting on body fat is extremely easy even with the best diet/training protocol and also impede building muscle among many other negative health issues. Have a full set of labs done- total t, free t, estradiol (sensitive assay), shbg, dht, prolactin, dhea, psa, LH/FSH, TSH (full thyroid panel), chemistry and CBC (complete blood count) which will include hemoglobin/hematocrit, vitamin D, hemoglobin A1C, homocysteine, C-reactive protein.
