Trt?

[skinnyguy180]

Testosterone Replacement Therapy-
Are there any long term side effects of this?

If you were to be running cycle while on TRT would that be refered to as blasting and cruising?

i dont know if you need this but
age 27
height 5'11"
weight 177
BF 12-16% im in the middle of a bulking was lower

basically im really interested in blasting and cruisin/TRT and personally after feeling the way i feel now would rather be on AAS than not. Thats pending what the long term affects are. with the limited knowledge i have now im assuming that the long term affects of that kind of use will be- Permenant low natural test
high blood pressure
Heart problems- Not sure to what extent

I need the good the bad and the ugly here guys...

At your age your really should not be considering this. You do not know what your future holds for you. I don't know your personal situation (i.e. having children). You have time! Use it wisely...

hahah well i have a 5 year old and have been through a marriage.... but this is why i want to know what the consequences are??? and generally people on TRT have talked to doctors about this. and people who have been blasting and cruising would have first hand knowledge also.

Currently, I am on my own course of TRT, and 3 months into as blast. I'm also 40, in a stable relationship with 3 children ( and no desire for a fourth ). I have accepted that this is my lifestyle and I can not just easily stop. Hence, permanent. It's a commitment that you have to be dedicated to day after day.

Still I feel you are too young yet to lock yourself in unless it is medically necessary. In the end it's a decision you and those who are closest to you will have to live with.

So from the sounds of it impotency is an issue that I was not aware of.... That's a biggy!! Seeing as how i still know nothing about it yet I am not rushing into anything I'm just wanting to be educated on the subject.

infertility is a major possibility, but if you were to run HCG the whole time you would probably still have a chance at having a kid. If that's something you think you want to do in the future I wouldn't chance it though.

Other than that, if it's a true trt and only puts you in high normal range I think the health effects would be pretty minimal. If you're doing 250+ mg a week then obviously the chances of health problems are higher. You should check your lipid profile, red blood cell count and hematocrit frequently though. High rbc and hematocrit leads to thicker blood which is hard on the entire cirulatory system. Higher chance of heart attack, stroke etc. Your best bet would probably be to check your total/free test once a month or so at the beginning to get your dosage dialed in, and also E2 to see if you should be using an AI.

There are more experienced people here who will probably have better advice, but this is pretty much what I've gathered on the subject

Thank you that is the kind of info I'm looking for.

I plan on getting my levels checked after I finish my first experiment. But I have a feeling they are going to be low. Just based on how long I've been working out and how hard it is for me to put on muscle but I will be getting them checked. Once I figure that out and get my blood work I plan on starting a second experiment.

But being on cycle I feel just flat out great man all day sex is grrreat and energy is up.
