What was the biggest factor in contributing to your decision to start taking T supplements? You were already happy with how you looked, so I’m curious to hear why you decided to take them.

I’ve held this idea in the back of my mind that someday, at some point, when I plateau, or when my body starts to deteriorate, I’ll start taking T.

I'm happy relative to how I've looked in the past. On the whole I have a TON of room for improvement. I want to be jacked. I want people to look at me and be like oh shit he works out. So as to why: largely vanity. My fiance is very happy with my progress and her actions show that, which is nice too. But also because it's a challenge and quite different from anything I've done before. I'm also just curious what it's like and I like trying new things.

I would recommend going to get your T levels checked just in case they're low, especially if you have low T symptoms. My levels were fine for my age (early 30s) but could be better.

You mentioned liver health.

Have you looked at the state of your liver before starting the regime?

AST/ALT/Ferritin etc.

I didn't, partially because a liver panel is like $350 and I have no reason to think my liver is anything but healthy. I'm injecting the testosterone directly and not using orals. Injecting it doesn't really have a reputation of being hard on your liver - orals do though. I mean they both do have an effect on your liver but it's not really the focus of all the material I've read on injection (which does advise strongly against a lot of orals).

I will likely get one in a couple months mid-cycle and if it's fine then I won't get a follow for my liver speciically up at the end (but will do all the other common markers still)

I mentioned liver health only because I was comparing steroid use to drinking, not trying to imply injecting really messes with your liver.

What about transdermal cream?

I am interested in the domain too, but I never pulled the trigger on the exogenous T.

I am at 600 but that means nothing because there's also the SHBG value and the T/Estradiol ratio and the T/DHT ratio , but most importantly the density of the AR receptors in the muscle fibers.

So somebody can be golden with T at 300 , whereas somebody else might need 950.

In any event I wanted to try and improve my T number via winning physical fights.

The skin cream is fine if you're doing TRT. To do an actual "cycle" of high levels of test you'd be basically swimming in it. It's also crazy expensive compared to injections, and I've never seen it available "underground" and you won't find a doctor willing to prescribe you enough for anything other than TRT

Is this a joke? lol
