TRT for a year

I started TRT after feeling like shit and being tired all the time. Wife was bitching that I never wanted to have sex, and it was true. I had no urge to want to fuck. Went for sleep test (no apnea) and blood work and came back with low t. 220 once and 198 the 2nd time. I’m 34 now, skinny fat. I tried to gym but didn’t seem to help, but eat like shit I guess. I’m not big on sweets or sugar and have no problem doing low carb but I cant seem to lose fat. I dropped about 20lbs of fat from the TRT alone, and sex drive is through the roof. However I can’t seem to put on muscle.

Any ideas? Just shit genetics?

Like most Veeky Forumsizens, your diet and training is probably trash. What is your height and bodyweight?

Your eating is poor, your training is bad or it's both. With Pharm grade test it's not going to be anything else. I put on 10lbs in 4 weeks with illegal test while losing BF and had 300-400 range for the last few blood tests. People have different sensitivities to test but there isn't going to be any nonresponsiveness.

Eat more

What’s an example of a decent day lunch?

I was eating bacon and eggs every morning or grilled chicken with broccoli and rice. I don’t mind doing it again if I was some how doing it wrong

>can't seem to lose fat
>dropped 20 lbs of fat

Test isn't like a cheat code on your fucking video games mr autismo.

You have to train, you have to eat and you HAVE to grow. You don't just 'try' gym. It's not an activity, but a lifestyle, everything you do has to be for the purpose of progression in the gym. Every aspect of your life has to warp around this one, all encompassing goal, whether it's getting big, getting lean or becoming athletic, you have to NEED to achieve it.

Are you a woman going to body pump class twice a week? Or are you a man who has made the decision to shackle himself to weekly injections of synthetic testosterone for the rest of his natural life? OWN what you have done and become all that you can become. You MUST do it. Just as the grass must grows and the sun must rise and the leaves must fall from the trees, so must you progress towards your goal. When you truly realise this, then you will progress.

Not OP, but my diet is good and workout as much as I am cutting pretty hardcore, my test is like 80, will I see any improvement on trt?

how'd you find a good endochronologist? i went to one referred by my pcp and he was basically like "well you're not 20 anymore so your testosterone is fine" despite having all the symptoms

Fuck sake I was 25 when they started telling me this.

But then I went to bangkok and did 350 mg test p for 9 weeks and while my libido was slightly higher it wasnt like crazy. Refractory period went down a lot tho, and I could last way longer.

I speculate porn addiction is my real problem. Or finasteride use for hair loss that somehow induced penopause

ofc - you are sedentary and without a diet thats focused around on your excercise. only through sweat and heavy lifting will you secrete growth hormone and other relief providing neurochemicals that poise your body for forward improvement.

I had to visit a few to be honest. I had one that was younger and said that my T was low and that he’s seen some success with creams if I wanted to try it. I went on it for a few months and had to stop because my insurance wouldn’t cover it any more and the generic replacement one was giving me a bad rash. I asked to go to the needle and my doc referred me to some jew doc that refused to continue the trt and told me I was too young to be on TRT and that if the cream wasn’t working for me to stop. So I went to a 3rd doc who put me on a sleep test first and when those results came in referred me to another doc who finally gave me the shot. Been great since then.

I had to be assertive with the doc saying I wanted to try TRT I injections.

Did they talk about your diet at all? Mine was pretty horrible but then again I see other people eating like garbage and they are pumping out kids left and right

that's hilarious, my pcp ordered a hormone test and then referred me to an endo. Endo said no, i told my pcp who is an old family friend and his words were
>Doctors these days are more worried about saving their asses than helping patients
Then he gave me the testosterone shot, eventually I went to a urologist and started doing it myself to save money.

what happens if i accidental inject 400MG into a vein?

Did your doctor actually check for the multiple fixable causes of low testosterone or he just hopped you on test?

>I tried the gym but didn’t seem to help, but I eat like shit I guess.

The whole tone of your post sounds mealy mouthed, uncommitted and pathetic. I doubt you did any in depth research into nutrition or routines. I doubt you went to the gym three to six hours per week. I doubt you had a routine. I doubt you ate at a surplus with 180 g of protein a day. I doubt you even read the fucking sticky. You sound like a 100 year old paraplegic with one nut. Read the fucking sticky, follow the fucking sticky and then STFU and grow. It's your call.

I've got my first appointment with an endo coming up towards the end of the month. My test came back at 234, but that's just 30 or so points shy of the lowest "acceptable" number. Really worried that they're gonna be hesitant to prescribe me anything due to my being only 22. If they end up prescribing some bullshit cream, should I push for injections? Was thinking about mentioning that I know someone with low T who tried both and had better results from injections, but I know doctors loathe being contradicted on anything. Would hate to end up on a "do not prescribe test" list for coming off as uppity.

You get an embolism and fucking die

the creams and gels will raise you up to probably around 400-450
they're garbage and for sissies who are afraid of needles

protip: if you get to inject yourself, save your muscles from the scarring by doing subq injections.

Why not just buy test online? I do. Results have been great. Lost fat, gained muscle, feel great. I buy from Transpharma labs.

your diet is shit. eat big, lots of meat, and fucking lift.

Gonna do just that if I can't find a sympathetic endo.
Will keep that in mind, thanks.
