So, they only tested liver, kidney, sugar, etc. levels, and I was in healthy range in all. Last time I tried to convince a doc to test my T levels I went overboard with the explanation and his reaction was just "dude, go see a shrink seriously"

I had big balls and low T around 200, but my low T was probably from opiate abuse, if that makes a difference. Since I've been on TRT my balls have shrunk a bit for sure, thank god because big balls suck. That's not a brag, there is no point to big balls at all imo, other than to accidentally sit on.

You have a higher chance of winning the lottery than getting replacement therapy from a public doc here, even if you had test levels of an 8 year old girl.

If you're asymptomatic your test levels don't matter since there is pretty much no difference between the high and low normal range. It's probably best you didn't find out out of curiosity because if it was on the low end it could effect you psychologically even if it wasn't physically. People's obsession with testosterone is misplaced.

Testosterone obviously has an effect on you. But in my experience not a huge one I've done steroids as well (testosterone injections) and while I did get stronger I didn't suddenly turn into the hulk. It was very marginal... And that was with A LOT of extra testoterone. I imagine if you're naturally low on testosterone it might affect your mood a bunch but I doubt it'd affect your strength a lot Zzulu fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Feb 5, 2019 |

I added 40kg on deadlifts but not more than that I imagine if you do a lot of these cycles you'd end up looking like a greek god though

I'm going to do this partially because leg press will be right after squats so I don't want to change shoes. Close/low stance plus shoes (and sleeves because I'm old) and I'm going to make my quads cry.

On the "pain is subjective" talk a few pages ago: I've had tightness in my left thigh that got really bad at night for a while. I rolled my ankle on the same side yesterday and my thigh doesn't hurt anymore!

I skateboard 2 miles to the planet fitness then do 3 tabatas of battle ropes, then squat jumps, burpees, pushups, situps, and the last is just freestyle martial arts and by then everyone has left me alone in that particular area of the gym because I'm clearly a loving reject. And then I skate back home to shitpost

Why don't you just buy battleropes for at home and do your whole workout there? Other than the space and ropes you aren't using anything else.

I don't quite get that statement, because by controlling for LBM aren't you removing the thing that testosterone most directly affects?

Then I would be a 100% shut in except for work. some need human contact and some need to reject human contact, if that makes sense. I'm socially anti social. I gotta get out and ignore people E I also just baked brownies with a 1/2 cup of protein powder if you want to come over E2 and anyway my lifestyle focus is on mobility. I could drive to work, or the gym, or GameStop or whatever but instead I choose skateboarding. It's like leg day every day and when the zombie apocalypse occurs I won't be caught with my dick out when cars and gasoline shortages become a thing. I've been traveling 4+ miles regularly and with great speed; it's the superior method of transportation and you find interesting things on the ground all the time. Plus I look cool asf not like the corpulent adipose golems like 99% of America. Cars and smartphones are mentally retarded and lazy I own both a car and a phone but I choose skateboarding and a loving notebook and pen and Im peak physical health more or less effortlessly Sjs00 fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Feb 5, 2019 |

Also I lost a lot of strength once I stopped taking testosterone. I kept some of the gains. Today, about a year later, I'm lifting at the level of my steroid cycle but naturally instead I might do another cycle again sometime, who knows. It's a lot of hassle and kind of gross to have to deal with needles tho
