>I'm male and the range should be 300-800
Any /fit/izens deal with this? I'm going to make my appointment with an endocrinologist tomorrow about it.
How seriously will this affect gains?
How will it affect gains when I'm taking testosterone injections?
I've had patchy facial hair growth. Will I start growing a beard?
>>36515213
You're gonna explode breh. Godspeed.
>>36515223
if I take noxplode will I be fine?
>>36515225
You'll be fine either way. You'll double or more your test levels overnight. Basically prescribed steroids.
When you talk to your doc, ask for weekly injections or gel. If you get injections every two weeks you will have high ups and downs, cause the half life of test e is only 8 days
>>36515254
do they give me the injections to take home or do I have to continually drive back to take it?
>>36515213
How can I fake low test to get on dat dere TRT, famalams?
>>36515259
No idea, you'd have to ask.
>>36515270
Gallon of green tea a day. 100% serious
>>36515213
Did you jerk off the day or night before your blood test?
>>36515213
stop masturbating, fucking low test
>>36515213
How is this bad? Youre gona get perscribed test, fuckin gains to the max.
>>36515294
>mfw I drink an infusion from 2 grams of green tea every single day
Am I gains-goblining myself nrehs?
>>36515259
They will give you the supply that you need to inject yourself every week.
>>36515213
You're gonna want to get your sperm frozen down, even if you're not even thinking about having kids now. Other than that, prepare for God mode.
>>36515270
You're probably going to get a lot of shitty advice like munching sugar 2 hours before drawing blood, etc. It lowers test, but in very, very small amounts.
>First method
Testosterone builds up during your sleep, which is why it peaks in the morning. Studies have shown that testosterone production starts 3 or 4 hours after you first fell asleep.
So if you can stay awake 2 nights in a row before drawing blood, you'll have decreased your test by a substantial amount. It really depends what your test levels are today, if you'll be able to reach sub-TRT levels after only 2 days. If you're already fairly low, you're guaranteed to reach sub-TRT levels.
>Second method
Purchase some test-e and pin for a few weeks to shut you down, then simply stop. Calculate using the half life of test-e and at what time your t-levels will drop to sub-200 after you've stopped pinning. That is when you want to get your blood drawn.
>>36516320
Also, a little warning that a lot of people I've helped get onto TRT didn't take into consideration.
Remember, it's for life. You're obligating yourself to stick a needle into your ass or quad two times every single week for the rest of your life. It's not very painful, but it's uncomfortable.
You can't chicken out.
so whats the difference between pinning yourself at home or going to the doctor?
I thought steroids were not safe for health bla bla...
Is there a difference for a human if you have higher test or lower test, health wise..
>>36516380
>so whats the difference between pinning yourself at home or going to the doctor?
TRT is prescribed to people with low testosterone, and they also pin themselves at home. Only real fuckbois would need to go to the doctor twice a week for an intramuscular injection.
>I thought steroids were not safe for health bla bla...
Kek. Blasting extreme amounts of steroid cocktails for long periods of time that a lot of bodybuilders do isn't healthy. Pinning test-e to boost your testosterone levels to what is normal for many men is just medical treatment.
>Is there a difference for a human if you have higher test or lower test, health wise
What do you think? If you have low test you'll feel and look like shit. If you have high test you'll feel like a god and you'll put on muscle easier.
>>36516416
but i mean healthwise, why does everyone say steroids are bad, bla bla, you are gonna die by your 50-ties etc...
But then why do doctors prescribe them?
>>36515213
do you get this done at a GP, or do you have to go to some kind of specialist?
>>36516478
I was ill for a while with bad GI, insomnia, low. libido, and anxiety, so my GP got me a blood test -- I asked for my Test to be checked and she added it for free.
Turns out everything including test was fine, and that was after 2 weeks of barely eating and barely sleeping.
Is it wise as a 20 something to go get my T tested?
>>36516469
Because doctors don't prescribe shit like trenbolone and the amount of T they do give you is only enough to put you into natty (potentially high natty though) levels
>>36516469
He explained that. When average Joe hears steroids he thinks of Rich Piana who took probably 12 trillion mg of test in his lifetime
>>36516506
I'm >>36516499
I'm 18 and had it checked for free, I mainly had it checked due to anxiety caused hyperchondria. It was all fine though, but it's worth checking just to put your mind at rest.
>>36515213
Did you have symptoms of low T before the test, op?
>>36516469
Steroids have a bad name because of idiots who don't properly research before shooting unknown substances into their bodies, and they die.
Like all pharmaceuticals, there are side effects which can potentially make them dangerous when not taken under medical supervision.
Since I don't compete, I don't shoot anything other than testosterone. Why? Because with other types of steroids the risk vs reward is just not worth it for me. I'm not going to risk certain side effects just to get leaner.
>>36516181
No, green teas good for you. Don't know where that anon is getting that from.
>>36515213
did you have to pay to get bloodwork done or how did you convince them to check your test levels ?
>>36515213
If you're not having any negative sides there's no reason to start. But you're probably just a noob who wants dem dere gains and it won't do anything spectacular for you unless you abuse your dose.
FYI facial hair also has a lot to do with genetics and lackthereof can't be extrapolated to low T.
Just gonna put this out here. That "normal" range of 300 - 800 is fucking horseshoe and is low test. Normal 100 years ago was 1000-2000
>>36516962
I was sub-400 during my early 20s, and I can't help but feel extreme pity for the ones who will never experience test levels of 600-1000+.
It's like a whole different world.
I'm going to have my cortisol levels checked after a waitlist of
>3 weeks
Would it be good if I asked for test aswell. Not sure if the endo will hand it out since Dutch doctors are usually stingy as fuck.
>>36516962
Is that true lad?
Is having the urge to fap daily, and getting wet dreams each night, and waking up with the urge to bone a sign of healthy test?
>>36517016
Look up symptoms for low testosterone. Tell the doctor that you've experienced some of those, and that you want to check your test levels to be sure nothing is wrong.
If he says no, you say yes.
>>36515213
Damn at least you're not 300... now you can get the ultimate suppliment
