Bad sleep is not necessary a sign of low T. Being on TRT can worsen these symptoms. There is no rule of thumb and no "magic pill" (or shot) for ageing symptoms here. TRT is only one part of the puzzle. It can improve your lifting and muscles in long run, but it can worsen depressive states of mind and (paradoxically) so called "brain fog". Do not forget about side effects (baldness, hair growth, fluid retention, gyno, acne, increased appetite etc)
@@evanserickson Testosterone is an anabolic hormone, so it stimulates cellular growth in the body, also in cancerous if it has T receptors present. Not much prospective studies had been done regarding general cancer risk, but known fact is that TRT is contraindicated in men with untreated prostate and breast cancer. Despite no well known risks you should be aware that TRT may add some component to your baseline cancer risks in the long term.
TRT is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I started three years ago shortly after starting a weight training regimen. My personal trainer recommended I get my levels checked. Turns out I was clinically low. I did not notice a huge difference until week number two. I remember I was doing chest, shoulders and triceps and suddenly had this extra boost of energy & strength blended with what I call a peaceful aggression. An overall feeling of well-being set in along with an attitude of “I can”. What followed is better sleep, better sex, more muscle, more energy, calmness, going to sleep quickly and waking up feeling rested. TRT is not for everyone. However, TRT has provided outstanding results for me.
Great story, thanx for sharing your experience. I am about to take my second shot today. The only thing that i noticed after my first shot was this calmness and happiness. Didn't feel wired but tired that night, but instead relaxed and sleepy. I just had this big smile on my face that i couldn't get rid of lol it was so strange. I take Sustanon, so it has this fast acting and slow acting esters. You feel it right away. At first i thought that it was a placebo lol.
I started trt 3 years ago. I'm 59. Changed my life 1000%. My mind body and soul transformed. Daily gym. Training. Eating right and playing sports again. Life Is good on trt. I'm happy.
Awesome. Glad it worked great for you. Im only 26 and had very low T for a year now with lab work to show. Zoloft is known to mess with the testosterone which I had been taking for 10 years which im tapering off greatly. Im about to start trt with an endocrinologist by my side. My life is basically shit so reading your comment gives me so much hope. Thank you. Keep kicking ass !
Started TRT 3 weeks ago. I feel absolutely amazing. I'm 43 my Testosterone was 225. I was feeling weak, tired and beat up. Confidence comes back, mood becomes better, you will feel like a man SHOULD!
Sammy Lee exactly, I’m not a big fan of needles so it’s easier for me. Plus my body doesn’t like big amounts of oil injected in my fat. Il get a tiny lump that’s sore maybe in certain areas that goes away after a day but if I was inject a fat amount at once I bet it would leave a huge red bump and burn like hell lol. For me anyways.
Hello sir.... So you were on trt 10 yrs.... Great..... Sir what about your sexual drive during whole this occasions.... I mean is it above avg person just like your youth age.... Or it falls after 7 to 8 yrs on trt
I’ve felt like shit for the past 5-6 years. I basically blamed that on a shitty marriage and divorce. I’m 33 years old now. I had a coworker tell me to get my testosterone level checked. It was 59. I started trt 3 weeks ago and I already feel better. When I say better.... I mean Night and day better. Guys it’s worth looking into no matter how young or old you are.
Wow! I meet with my urologist tomorrow to go over my blood work results, nervously excited, I feel like hell, I need help. I need a change of something, if it’s not low T then I am not sure what Iam going to do.
I'm 35, and due to doing stupid cycles when I was in my 20's, my testosterone is clinically low as well. So I'm in the process of sending my test results off and have an appointment on August 15th to talk with him about TRT. I went from working out 5-6 times a week, to maybe once every 2 weeks. Drastic weight gain in the past 7-8 months. Also just overall more depressed, I'm about to be 36 and I'm not anywhere near where I want to be. So I'm doing something about it.
@@justinhayes2194 yeah it’s a game changer for sure. I’ve been taking trt for the past few years. My low testosterone levels were chalked up to a terrible stressful marriage and working 24 hour shifts on a 911 ambulance for the past 12 years “poor sleep and stress”.
I’ve been at the end of my rope. I’m 34 and have been suffering with low libido for a while, seriously affecting my relationship. After dozens of lab tests, a ton of exercise, and a shitload if incorrect “professional” advice I finally found a TRT doctor, on TH-cam of all places. Anabolic Doc. Haven’t started yet but I am super excited. If you’re in the same boat, go with your gut. It’s expensive and most insurances don’t cover all costs, but if I can have my life back money is literally no object at this point.
Thank you for giving TRT more positive coverage! Time this is no longer a taboo topic! If men experience low T symptoms, they should seek treatment, no shame in that!
Get your levels tested boyz. Best thing I did. Sex drive is back, putting on muscle again, lifting with more intensity, living with more drive and focus, and the savage life is back son. Find a mens clinic and go in.
TRT changed my life. Night and day difference. Like some of the other posters, I have more energy, crazy great sex drive, I now go to the gym every day whereas before I'd laugh at the thought of going to the gym. I've lost a huge amount of body fat and gained a huge amount of muscle in the last year of TRT. It has literally made my life 1000x better!
i am 41 overweight and my test was down to 32 (500 - 1100 is normal) I got on trt 6 weeks ago and i have already lost 20 pounds and i have energy..there were days i could barely get out of bed 2 months ago. I was very depressed but now i am getting back in shape and i can actually do things...its literally saved my life..plz if you over 40 at least go get the blood work done, find your lvl and talk to your doctor. Especially if you're depressed!!
Good vid as always rich. I’ve been TRT since November of last year and I agree it is a game changer. I for one, am sick of the medical professionals telling us what is normal with regard to this because it is not normal. I feel great and my physique has changed drastically. And the confidence and feeling is second to none. Keep it coming daddy!
We need to be promoting our men in society obtaining optimal levels of testosterone. It amazes me how fast the baseline has gone DOWN in the last 50 years and how many doctors still don’t want to do anything about it. We need healthy and strong men in society. From our diets/exercise/sleep all the way to the point we need TRT, we need to be promoting healthy levels of testosterone! Great video, Richard.
I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong .I also don't seek anyone's approval what I do or put in my body .I have a friend that gave me lectures about skin cancer from my tanning year round .to me if you don't go into something new you want to try hap hazardly then you will know how to make the most of your new hobby. As far as me doing TRT it's nobody's business .if I look like my muscles are a little more defined .I just say I'm just lifting dumbbell weights
@@jamie.777 what kind of life you must live to disagree and be replying to 5 year old comments. What a cringe dumbass you are, 😂. My comment from PRE-COVID was completely reasonable and responsible.
Good sensible advise. Am 68 and I've been on it for around 10 years now. 1000mg injected every 8 weeks. Never regretted it. Workout 7 days a week. Loads of energy and always in a good, positive mood. Have the body and the outlook of a man half my age. Best thing I ever did.
TRT is one of the best things I've ever done for my health and mental health. I'm stronger, sleep better, improved mood, increased sex drive, better workouts, more driven/goal oriented, better appetite. The list goes on and on...
Having ran several HRT clinics in Florida, it’s absolutely worth it as long as you do it under medical supervision. It makes life much more enjoyable. You cease to become an ailing grandpa.
Great to see TRT getting more positive coverage. Thanks for shining light on this somewhat taboo topic. Hopefully this encourages men to make the changes necessary and seek treatment if necessary.
TRT is a terrible idea. It'll very likely make you infertile and your nuts basically disappear. That's a very, very, very heavy price to pay for raising your testo a little. Just do the best you can to raise it naturally if your levels are low. In fact no matter how low they are you should always try to fix it naturally. Eat oysters. Get sun (vitamin D). Eat a lot of protein and veggies. Avoid processed foods. And of course... TRAIN HARD!!! ˇ\o/ˇ
Im 49 and had my 1st injection yesterday. So looking forward to getting back to myself again. I ignored my decline for a decade, this last year was the worst. Thanks for all the info bro.
If you need heart meds, get heart meds. If you need cancer treatment, get cancer treatment. If you need TRT, get TRT. Take care of your health, just like you would for anyone else you love.
cleonriize the treatment for most would be to be younger. Time machines don’t exist. Wait till you’re 40 and struggle in the gym. With TRT you’re putting a naturally occurring hormone in your body at an amount your body would normally have. Everything could be perfect in your life except for the fact that you’re older. That’s what TRT is for.
@@jpscharged Synthetic TRT, not the natural occurring ones that can be found by eating HEALTHY foods, getting enough sleep, working out. Getting rid of all the nasty chemicals you put on your body: fragrances, skin creams, soaps. Their are natural alternatives. Juicing to clean out your body. Body can't produce testosterone properly if the endocrine system is full of shit. Supplements can be useful, high dose vitamin D. Since we're not able to get enough sun during winter. People choose the easy way out
@@IamHardtokill He said he was eating clean and taking vitamins. Plus, he said the doctor had him try the natural methods and his estradiol was still out of wack. Did you watch the video?
@@IamHardtokill Do you have proof that those things raise testosterone. I've yet to see a video where someone shows actual proof that they raised their testosterone naturally.
Good job man thank you. There's a strange stigma around TRT. I'm 32 and at my lowest level I was around 75. There are alot of medications that lower T in men, i fell under that category without knowing. It's been 6 months since starting TRT and I feel great!! Thanks to guys like you spreading the word and encouraging the rest of us to get help. Keep it up!!!
This is the absolute best TRT video i have seen on YT ! I have studied testosteron for 15 years and have heard and seen a lot of false shit ! But you Sir are spot on, and your breakdown needs to reach more people 👍👏👏👏
That's a good thing, nobody wants to be walked over. I am 50, just started TRT, I am not ready to bow down to the 30 year old betas we have in the world. I am NOT old
I started 4 months ago and have never felt better. My levels were 275 ish at 38 yo. Terrible numbers, but I was also working out lifting heavy 3-4 days a week and still feeling depressed, lethargic, brain fog, etc. Now I’m up several hundred points and counting and can’t wait to see how I feel in 6 months. So far so good
Jorge, 275 is not normal regardless of what the new scales might say. If feeling like shit and being close to suicidal is normal after eating healthy and working out 4 days a week for 9 months with no improvement, then I want no part in it. 6 months into TRT now and my depression is gone, energy levels back up and losing weight and gaining muscle in a healthy normal manner for the amount of work I put in.
jorge rodi BS, I had every other symptom in the book and according to several tests it was low. I have been working out 3 days a week for the last 10 years with almost no results and I couldn’t stay awake at my job. Difference is clear and it was needed. Diagnosed hypogonadism so you can stop trying to shame people bettering their lives.
I'm 48 years old. I've been on TRT for almost 2 years. Best decision I have made regarding my health. I was "low-normal" but that I felt like I had lost my edge and energy. I chalked it up to getting older. But I went and did it...It literally gave me back about 20 years it seems. Had some initial side effects regarding my estrogen levels but once we got that under control - nothing but positive. Biggest positive for me is the increase in my energy and the ability to keep muscle while trying to reduce fat. WARNING: TRT is a lifestyle not a "magic shot" of testosterone that takes away problems. TRT combined with weights, cardio and proper nutrition and you will be satisfied and get the most bang for your buck. Get optimized for you, your wife, family and your job :)
Very well explained. January 2019 will be 1 year in on TRT and its the best decision I've ever made. At 57 I've been an active/natural lifter most of my life. At the age of 52 I could tell I was losing strength muscle and worst the sex drive. After depression hit me I new it was time to be tested. My Total test showed I was low normal but my free test was way under so always test your free testosterone to. My protocol is 100 mil. weekly for 8 to 12 weeks and take one week off for HCG for 5 days straight. I'm also tested every 3 months. I feel and look like I'm 20 again, well except for the grey and a few wrinkles. HaHa
10 months ago I began lifting and taking suppliments like boron, magnesium, and zinc, and I also gave up most of my beer drinking. A few things happened and I couldn't lift for a couple weeks and then I had blood work done. 387. The number sounded low and I immediately remembered the infamous Try Guys testosterone reveal video, and it turned out that I am just slightly better than the best Try Guy. A f'ing Try Guy! I've been tired for 30 years, and I have foggy thinking but yet I made all of those changes and I'm only a lousy 387?
Hey bro I’m 24 and did the same. Don’t drink, eat good, train in the gym and boxing. Got my levels checked and they were the same as yours. So disappointed. Done every thing right and I’m in the lower percent of men in my age range. Don’t want to jump on trt at 24 but don’t want to live life with low t even when I’m doing the right things.
I asked my pharmacist if he could recommend a hormone replacement clinic in my area and I ended up getting a 10 minute lecture on the dangers of TRT and how it would greatly increase my risk of prostate cancer later in my life. I asked the pharmacist if he had any scientific evidence to support his theory and he did not. I'm curious if anyone else has heard this before and if there really is any scientific evidence to back it up? My personal physician just laughed when I asked him about TRT therapy and told me that I shouldn't even consider it because my testosterone numbers hit the low end of the scale (300). I really enjoyed this video because it deals with subject matter that the general public views as "taboo", I hope that you continue the discussion of this subject on your channel Rich. Thanks.
Focal Point Images 1. They say that if you have a family history of prostate issues that trt will exacerbate those issues. Whatever they may be. 2. No one knows the long term effects of trt because it is still relatively new.
Thanks for another awesome video Rich. I’ve been on TRT for 3 months, I’m just 44 and i should have done this 7 years ago.... Learning about this and how dropping testosterone effects your personality, mental health, decision making, rational, subservience etc etc has changed my life.... I used to be and Alpha but dropping test made me turn into an old woman, I started to notice that my 17 year old son seemed to be more of a man that me. I’d become Beta! I was making poor Beta decisions and choices.... I had started at the gym about 14 months ago to turn my life around when I met a psychologist.... after a big chat he assured me that the reason I’m a big girl was 100% low Test... Everything seemed to add up so I begun TRT.... I now feel like a million dollars, my physique is good, I’m strong and I’ve got my confidence back, I actually feel like I’ve become myself again. Forgive me for explaining ‘subservience’ hope I do it just....’ less than a servant’ I found myself giving in to everything and everyone and becoming a door mat, wanting to keep the peace and please everyone...now i have zero interest in pleasing anyone, I’m totally focusing on myself and my game. TRT has enabled me to deal with situations like a man (Alpha) inc getting a Hernia ( work not gym), a relationship ending and generally life being hard... My attitude has been ‘nothing will stop me’
I ironically started my own recently along with a massive Vitamin D therapy & am amazed how much more energy I have now at 55, almost like being 10 years younger. My wife had been taking the female form of Hormone therapy a couple months before & I was impressed how much it helped her & started researching it for myself. Been on this program for only a month now & I've seen at least a conservative 30% difference so far & I'm quite sure it will improve even more, highly recommended to reverse the aging problem & symptoms with it. My Testosterone was in the basement in the very low levels & as a hard working Painting Contractor it was becoming difficult to perform my work long days the last 3 years, I'm on initial injections & now on a Pharmaceutical Testosterone Creme therapy that is quite effective my friend & having a lot more fun behind the wheel of my Hemi Challenger too.
Forgot to mention Vitamin D, anyone north of the tropics will probably be deficient. My labs showed me at the bottom of the range, my Doc has me on 12,000 IU of vitamin D daily now. Helps a ton
@@EntrepreneursInCars I'm on 50,000mg Vitamin D tablets once a week for 8 weeks then onto daily 2000mg ones, feel so much more alive as I thought I was dying & my energy levels were so low & with the Testosterone therapy it literally saved my life man.
I'm 40yo, I've started TRT two years ago do to low T, and I can easily say it was the best decision I've ever made! I feel and look better than ever before. I do follow a very healthy lifestyle, working out 5-6 days a week, matched with a super healthy Pescatarian diet.... No joke, I feel like I'm getting younger day by day!
@@runeskyttsing9089 Ja 7 veckors intervaller ges av dom flesta privatkliniker i Sverige, får man behandling genom en vårdcentral skulle jag gissa på att intervallerna är längre, alltså som du skriver så beror det på ens vårdgivare. Problemet med såpass långa intervaller, även 7 veckor, är att man får höga dalar och djupa hål. Då sprutorna ges intramuskulärt så släpper musklen ut lite testosteron hela tiden, ibland mer och ibland mindre, alltså kan man få en känsla av bra välbefinnande ibland och tvärtom ibland. I Sverige räknas "normala" testosteron värden ligga på 8-30 Nmol /liter blod. vårdcentraler går efter värdet 8 eller under för att behandla, medans privatkliniker går på 12. Problemet med våra kalkyler är att ramen för testosteron är densamma för en 18 åring som för en 80 åring, dvs att en 18 åring borde ligga runt 20-30 i värde för att vara normal, medans en 80 åring automatiskt kommer ligga runt dom lägre sifforna pågrund av ålder, det blir orättvist mot yngre personer med symptom då dom räknas som "normala" även fast dom ligger alldeles för lågt för sin ålder. Skönt att du känner resultat av din behandling :) Krämen är smidig men jag hade valt injektioner då man behöver vara vaksam med krämen så den inte överförs till andra personer.
@@runeskyttsing9089 Hej igen =) inga problem alls. Svensk sjukvård ligger väldigt långt bak i behandling av testosteron-brist, dom flesta läkare i den offentliga sjukvården har väldigt lite kunskap om ämnet och vägrar i dom flesta fall behandla om man inte har extremt låga nivåer. Privatkliniker ligger långt före i kunskap och behandlar för att bota symptom på brist istället för att bara uppnå ett normalt värde vilket en vanlig läkare inte bryr sig om. Det är även viktigt att läkaren har koll på alla hormoner runtomkring testosteronet då enbart höga nivåer testo inte automatiskt ger patienten ett bra välbefinnande, östrogen/testo balansen är väldigt viktig för välmåendet tillexempel. Rewell startades för ca 2 månader sedan och är just nu i uppbyggnadsfas med att skapa samarbete med fler vårdgivare runtom i Sverige. Dom som har varit med och skapat Rewell är några av sveriges främsta läkare inom Testosteron behandling så det känns som att dom kommer bli en bra vårdgivare inom trt. Bor du i södra sverige hade jag rekommenderat dig att kontakta dom och se över dina alternativ för att byta till dom. Enligt uppgifter jag fått så ska en behandling med Nebido i den privata sektorn kosta ca 10,000 om året. Ang Nebidon i den offentliga vården: Det är i princip dött lopp, som jag skrev innan så är läkarna i den offentliga sektorn fruktansvärt långt bak i kunskap och när dom behandlar så går dom enbart för att uppnå ett värde i den lägre normal-skalan. Det är väldigt individuellt hur fort varje patients kropp förbrukar testosteron som man tillsatt kroppen och detta är något som tar uppemot 1 år att få rätt på så man kan ge rätt doser med rätt intervaller, detta finns dock inte i den offentliga sektorn, där skulle jag gissa på att den kortaste intervallen på injektioner man kan tjata sig till är runt 10 veckor, vilket är alldeles för länge. Detta försätter patienten i en väldigt dålig sits då man får väldigt höga nivåer första veckorna efter injektion och framåt slutet når lika låga om inte lägre nivåer än innan man sökte vård, detta bygger på okunskap. Hur stor dos Tostrex tar du dagligen, 1 påse??
@@runeskyttsing9089 Kul att höra, jag delar gärna av mig med den lilla information jag besitter. Amerikanerna är mycket längre fram i detta ämnet än vad Sverige är och behandlar på ett helt annat sätt än vad Svenska läkare gör, dock är det Privatläkare som gäller där precis som här om man vill ha bäst resultat av behandlingen. Jay Cambells bok har jag själv tänkt att jag ska köpa, har läst igenom några kapitel som jag hittade på nätet och han vet verkligen vad han snackar om. Håller med honom om att Trt handlar mer om "TOT" dvs testosteron optimering, istället för enbart "replacement", när man snackar om optimering ingår där så mycket mer än bara testosteron, alla värdena ska se bra ut för att uppnå ett riktigt optimalt välmående, boken rekommenderas av det lilla jag läst av den. Det finns svenska forum där många som skriver är Trt patienter, jag har läst igenom lite av ett forum på Flashback, skriv "flashback Nebido" på google så kommer du till tråden som är på ca 500 sidor, väldigt mycket information där skrivet av personer som själva behandlas, finns mycket tips att läsa där.
@@runeskyttsing9089 Ok! 3gram är standard dosen. Offentliga vården brukar alltid först behandla med kräm för att se hur man svarar på testosteronet, men i längden hade jag inte rekommenderat dig att fortsätta med kräm. nu vet jag inte hur länge du har hållt på med krämen men många som jag har läst om skriver att dom mår jätte bra dom första 3-4 veckorna på krämen men sen när deras naturliga testo produktion stängs av så mår dom dåligt igen. Krämen tas ju upp väldigt snabbt och lämnar väldigt snabbt så berg o dalbane effekten brukar vara väldigt kännbar med kräm också.
Might be an important tidbit: make sure you get a prostate exam at some point for a baseline and possibly sometime during TRT. Paying attention to estradiol levels may be crucial to avoid prostate enlargement as excess estrogen over time is linked to growth, but only use aromatose inhibitors as your labs call for them. Crashing your normal estrogen levels can be just as (if not more) debilitating to your sex life and mental health. Love the vid, man! Glad you’re feeling better!
Hyper.Bomb do you have any first hand feedback about this ? Man , I’m suffering terribly from stupidly taking only testosterone for almost three months , started getting night sweats and having to get up to piss so I stopped .. since then have had prostate issues .. and to anyone looking at taking these kinds of things should be aware of . I wouldn’t wish some of these prostate symptoms on my worst enemy .. they are that bad .
Never had too much trouble with the restroom fortunately after several cycles. We’re talking 6 months’ worth (I was in a bad way, clean of everything now). We have to take into account that prolactin buildup will occur when taking testosterone if left unchecked. Bloods should be done before starting and every 2-3 months to assess. Your night sweats were likely related to prolactin buildup depending on dosage of T. Your PCT protocol and diligence with aromatase inhibitors based on labwork and physical symptoms could’ve played a part. Then again, you may have aggravated a genetic predisposition to enlarged prostate. Ask your family if anyone else suffers your problem and if they recommend a urologist. I wish you well.
Good stuff staying loyal to the natty game LFA, I'm in a similar boat and will jump on as soon as the decline begins. Just curious what are your stats and lifts, looking juicy already you will blow up on trt and possibly anabolics
I just turned 40, got tested and my free level was 240. I took my first shot last Wednesday along with hcg, dhea, vitamin d and b. I already feel better and have much more hope for the future. It's very worth finding a good trt doctor
I agree, I actually wish I would have done it years ago. I put it off for years and am very happy I started. Probably will never stop. Thanks for the video.
I'm 53 on trt but most people Peg me at about 37 or 40. Trt along with a holistic lifestyle of working out good nutrition and proper rest really does make a difference. Thank you for talking about this topic great video
After 10 months, my blood work is perfect, my blood pressure went up, and after regular cardio is now perfect, and my brain, body, and outlook are all improved. 200mg/wk gets me to 830 total. It works for me, and that's good enough.
You had low blood pressure to begin with? I ask because I take blood pressure meds (my blood pressure is fine now) but I'm about to start this, getting my blood checked soon.
@@skylark4901 it tends to raise BP because TRT raises estrogen which causes you to retain water. People with high BP do not do good with extra water retention. I never had high BP but started getting it after TRT
I am 50 and on opiate pain killers (permanently) these cloud test production. Been on Test gel for 4 weeks and the change is with no exaggeration UNBELIEVABLE. So much better. So much more energy. Memory and cognitive function drastically improved. Gut is trimming down rapidly. It is seriously amazing.
Came across this video. Im 33 felt like shit, had my test levels checked and i was an 83. Ya an 83 been on trt only two months and im already feeling good again. Game changer
I just found out this week mine is 79.8 and the dr said its normal, that why i asked. It shows still in green in the chart towards the low end, how do i make my dr listen? I am experiencing some effects
@@yan-liche6663 Serum testosterone levels below 250 or 300, is considered low. I can't fathom a doc saying 83 was normal, unless you literally insisted you had none of the symptoms of low T. I'd maybe see a different doctor.
Great vid and on point! TRT is life changing, only way to describe it. I am 42 and haven't felt this good in years, wish I had pulled the trigger in my late 30s , but the decline was slow and insidious, you don't realize something is wrong, till its really wrong (total test was 400, free was 9, yes 9!)...As to the protocol...I pin test cyp twice a week(160mg), its not that bad after you have done it a few times.
Ive been on trt fir a year and helps immediately...energy . sex drive. muscle structure. Motivation to workout...confidence... I work security for local bars and ive seen the decline in testosterone in men over last 15 years...before i knew it was Officially facts...quality of life is everything and this helps alot of men..including me
My dose is 125 mg Sustanon every 7 days it puts me in the 1400 range it’s slightly too high but i feel great why be normal if you can be better then normal all my bloods came it perfect Trt is amazing
I started TRT 2 years ago at 49yrs old after a several year journey trying to figure out what was wrong. Best decision I ever made!! Killing it in the gym and got my life back. Great video here with excellent explanation of TRT and benefits. Agree with you on all points except car choice...lol. i drive a BMW 650i coupe. J/k you got a nice car there.
yes they like being little bitches i wish they were back when i was in prison i would make them my bunkie bitch they will be wearing there boxers backwards fucking soy boys i call safe space if u try to talk shit back because it might hurt my feeling lol just clowning and i am not gay not even in prison
I've heard that "drops by 1% per year after 30" thing before, but I had my levels checked today and it's been going down by over 15% per year for the last two years (I'm 32). I can hardly even fathom how that's possible but it explains why working out has almost no effect on my muscles anymore.
Thank you for posting this video, it helped me in my decision to start TRT. I spent almost 10 years feeling like complete trash, finally got my levels checked and they were almost non-existant (74). I've been doing TRT now for several months and it is a complete game changer. I'm back to working out, I've lost 40lbs and feel 100% better. I've noticed that my sleep has improved, joint pain is going away and my brain fog is clearing up. Just something to note, this can happen to younger fellas too. I'm almost 39 and started noticing issues in my late 20's. In trying to find my 'root cause' it looks like my pituitary gland is no longer functioning correctly. Apparently, for those of us that have done combat sports in the past, this is not all that uncommon. Get checked out, the person that cares the most about how you feel is you.
I’ve been just inside the “normal” range for years just inside the normal range, I’m 39 and 11 years ago it was the same, doctor is reluctant to help although I have lots of testosterone issues and allways have done
After being on TRT for almost 2 years I can say, yes, it's worth every penny. More energy, better sex, better workouts, more muscle retention and zero sperm count (birth control for men). Edit: I'm 59.
I’m 27 and started trt last week, my level was 198 which is equivalent to a 80 year old man. I’ve been dealing with this for at least 3 years. I’m currently on antidepressants and antipsychotics because I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what was wrong and why I felt the way I did and that was the doctors solution. I am excited for the transformation that is going to happen mentally and physically.
@Electro Magnetic As men rely on estrogen. But for women about ten times less, so double digits. That's a whole lot less than is necessary for a healthy male.
Another great video Rich,always learning!..I’m 54,single,seemed to have been red pill for 30+ years,only realised it when I discovered your channel.I feel great(because i’m Surrounded by married blue pill guys and the difference is incredible!)..but can always feel better!..Definitely going to look into TRT!..Thanks for the advice...Matt.London.UK.
Do it brother, you wont regret it. If you have a nice head of hair, look into topical finasteride because after 4 months of high dose TRT I started to notice thinning at the age of 37.
I'm 52 years old. I have always been athletic and "tried" to eat the right things. Going on the carnivore diet made me feel like what you're describing with TRT. Just something to think about.
Hello sir.... Great..... Sir.... You have been on trt for 9 to 10 yrs... What about sex drive during time on trt.... I mean is it always remain strong like youth age or it falls down after taking trt for long time.... And sir do you add hcg along with it
Great video, I noticed something was off when I seriously overreacted to a news article and when my son lost his first tooth. I knew this wasnt normal. To literally feel your mood plummet for no apparent reason freaked me out. Tried all kind of therapies, supplements, dr visits etc...and still the same. A year later I pay for my own blood tests and my T comes back at 205....I was 33 at the time. I was super happy. "This explains everything" well Increase it naturally to 500 and notice a little improvement but still not like how i used to be. Well now I'm at 301. Still feel like crap...its time to get on trt. I want my old life back
Whoaaaa mummy! Hahahahaha! Video saved, thank you sir I'm 3 years out from 40 and have been considering TRT since hearing about it in Joe Rogan. Thanks for demystifying it!
I am 60 years old and started TRT at age 56 and it has really helped all aspects of my life. While I definitely recommend and condone treatment for us older guys, I am always a bit concerned when guys in their thirties and even early forties feel the need to start. Of course lifestyle and genetics plays a role. Maintain a good diet and exercise regimen, get adequate rest , manage stress levels (perhaps the hardest thing!) and hopefully you should be able to hold-off treatment for a few years.
The reason guys are needing it earlier on average is probably because we’re exposed to more hormone disruptors/endocrine disruptors now than 30-40 years ago. At 60 you have the perfect vantage point. You tell me how much life has changed for men in the last 30-40 years.
I think TRT is different than plastic surgery. I'm doing it because my numbers were low and now that they are back in range I am getting so much more done and feel more like myself. Something to seriously consider for men in their 40s. I see no drawbacks. I use an estrogen blocker with it as well.
@@italiancapo7 then there are people who think they are low and those whose blood work proves it. Im not judging 2ho wants to do it i know my doctor prescribed it and it has made a great improvement in life ad health. My bloodwork has proved it.
@@italiancapo7 was around 100 for about 4 years. I get blood work every 3 months for my diabetes. After the first 3 month period I believe it was around 600. I was building muscle by going to the gym as well which may have helped the count a bit. My overall blood work got better.
Everything said is right on the money. I started TRT 5 months ago at 56 years old. Changed my life. Everything needed including HCG and Testosterone for $175 per month. Better Energy, mood, strength, morning wood and decrease in body fat all noticeable almost immediately.
Thank you so much the minute I watched this vid I made an appointment and today I went in found out I was really low they were very professional and set up a treatment plan! Walked out with my first trt shot all my supplies for the year and my script is in the mail! Thank you thank you thank you!
Excellent video, I just turned 40 and two weeks ago made a doctors appointment for TRT therapy. Tired of feeling like this, this Tuesday hopefully everything changes for the better
Roger, I’m in early 50s and thinking about it. I’m in pretty good share but I find lack of energy to make into the gym more than once a week. Of course that work out I give it my all and have a trainer. How long have you been taking it and any side affects so far?
@@36handy 6 years. The only negative is rare moments of inner rage or intensity. When that happens I know my levels have gone above normal and I back off on the dosage. I use much less now because my diet is way better, I fast 20 hours a day and I have less negative stress.
I had a vasectomy at 27, my testosterone immediately dropped to around 100nl/dL. I was miserable I went from 180lbs to 290lbs in 5 years, I slept all the time, I stopped being competitive at work, I didn’t have sex with my wife I had no desire. I would have killed myself if I didn’t have a responsibility to my young children. At 35 I found a doctor who would help me and yes it’s a life changer and game changer I feel like I did before the vasectomy and I’ve lost 50lbs and have gotten promotions at work my wife is happy, I play with my kids now
I'm in my late fifties and have been on TRT for several years. Recommended by my physician after seeing low T on routine bloodwork. Injection every 2 weeks. For me, the biggest selling point was the brain fog I had been experiencing (I wrote this comment before I heard you mention brain fog at 3:28 . . . . interesting you used the same word). It absolutely did make a difference. I have also seen a response in muscle growth due to exercise . . . . I'm by no means a buff guy, but I do lift a bit to keep my joints working well and to feel well. I see the results in muscle growth and definition I didn't see before.
@@oceanpacific3841 Good! I find that lifting moderate weights helps knees and shoulders . . . . not light, but not heavy by any means. Squatting with 135 lbs, 40 lb kettlebell swings, 30 pound dumbell overhead presses, stuff like that (okay, that might be light to some of you guys). What hurt my joints was cardio kickboxing, which I did for about a year or two . . . knees and shoulder hurt all the time, and I thought it was age related. Until I stopped classes, then everything started to feel better, and realized it was just the kicks and punches on the heavy bag.
Injections every 2 weeks is horrible... You need once a week minimum, but twice is best. Hopefully you cope well with that schedule. It was hell for me
It's amazing to me that I'm now watching videos about TRT after having been a pro bodybuilder for decades and now having been clean for more than 10 years. There's very few combinations, benefits or side effects that I've not encountered over those years training/competing but here I am at 57 looking to other people for their input/information. That seems crazy but I will say with 100% certainty that everything you said in that video is gospel truth and I appreciate that. I'm headed out this week to get my blood panels done so I can move forward with optimization. To anyone on the fence as to whether to do it or not I can't/won't try to sway you either way. It's a very personal choice but if you're looking for someone to get a clear understanding of what journey you're going to embark on this guy is the real deal. I don't know him, I have no monetary gain in this, I simply listened to what he's saying and he's telling you the truth and at the end of the day that's all you can hope for from anyone on here. The rest is up to you. Good job Brother. 👍
1st time watching this fellow. Very good presence. As a TRT user for over 20 years I have experienced just about every delivery system. I have a lengthy background on HRT and monitor many men and woman as their coach. I will tell you HANDS DOWN that testicular trans scrotal application is by far the way to go. It's an AM and PM application and many Docs have no clue and dont do their homework regarding this process. You know Jay so you now have the best system out there. Dont suppress estradiol with this delivery folks.
I'm 33 with a thyroid disorder (Hashimotos) and my testosterone reading was just checked with a result of 158 (pretty low, even outside of the normal low range). My doctor recommended shots but I have a thing about needles, so she prescribed the cream. My pharmacy had to order it and it will arrive on Monday. Now, after watching this, I'm a bit worried. I never thought about the cream being able to get on other people and I have a four year old. Do you think this is a bad idea? Should I just suck it up and get the shots?
I'm very impressed with your protocol, I've been on TRT for 10 years on various protocols and testosterone esters some of which were awful and I'm now on a bi-weekly regime of Enanthate (european equivalent of Cypionate) with HCG and I finally feel settled so it's great you've gone right to the best protocol :-) it normally takes around 12 months for most guys to get dialled in so just stick with it as you'll get there. Final thing:- I've found slight adjustments to amounts based on how I'm feeling are working pretty well, freestyling as it were. Sometimes I feel like I need a bit less and other times a bit more, all within safe amounts just 5-10% tweeks as and when I need it.
I got referred to a dr who does sports medicine, family practice, & natural wellness. I made an appointment for both me & my husband. We were feeling way too old for our age. My husband had just had his 2nd shoulder surgery & in pain all the time. It was so sad. We both tested low in Testosterone. We are on our 2nd round of Bio-TE pellets & will never look back. The pellets last up to 6 months. It costs me about $350, & him about $800 as he needs much more than me. T Replacement has been a Godsend. We feel like we are in our 20's again. We finally got that boat we've always talked about getting. For us, T equals life. We feel like we are aging backwards. God Bless.
200mg of Testosterone injected every 2 weeks was a game changer for me. I've always been high energy, but gradually low energy, brain fog, don't care attitude, and no morning wood set in. I finally got T-tested... yep, was 241... slightly below normal range. Been injecting on it about 6mo. Brain fog gone, I'm stronger (measured by what I can do at the gym), most of my energy is back, I get morning wood daily, yea! My numbers came up only about 100 after 90 re-test, but I'm hoping for larger rise at next re-test. Conclusion... Everybody's different, but if you get too low for you, go get yourself checked!
Great informative video. I went on TRT, after being checked out by my Dr. and found that my test. level was low. I was just tired, taking afternoon naps, after just mowing the yard. I would work out .and not get any pump, like I used to, why even go to the gym? And just kind of, well I'll do it tomorrow attitude with everything. I don't even say anything about it, because people think, 'you're a weird 'roid man, bet you get all aggressive, and want to beat people up'. Not at all, just feel, and do the things I used to, turn back the clock a bit, works for me. I play guitar still playing gigs, rocking out, not in a rocking chair,,
I've been on TRT for 1.5 years at the age of 45. Best thing I've done for myself. Its not "juicing up." All it does is bring your natural test levels back up to the normal range (if you are using it as directed and not taking advantage of having it and over doing it.
All the power to men (and women) to make yourself feel the best you can feel. This benefits everyone and as a woman, please do whatever it takes to keep the morning wood alive!!!
Gotta say Rich I was listening to this on my drive home from work and it felt like I was in your Audi that V10 threw my speakers 🔊 beautiful nothing like it 👌🏻 🎶 👂🏻
58, training since 1989, good genes on my favor, but since i went into TRT 12 years ago ( on my own ) i notice a dramatic difference in my body. Same size as i had, same bw, but increased vasularity and a different look All my test comes from UGLs wich is 100% of the time underdosed but rarely fake. As a precaution i go up to 400 mg a week ( you need to take double cause is not farmaceutical ) no need for Anastozole but i take 2 pills a week as a precaution. No HCG ever ( happy with my size ) Testosterone was a life changer experience in all senses, not only at a muscular level. Im on for it
Im 36. On trt for a year. 200mg a week. Tested last year at 340mg/dl, my free T was really really low though, so I qualified. Today im around 850-900 mg/dl and my free test and estrogen are in the money range according to my doc. I'm trying to tell my friends to get on the T train but they won't listen. They have no idea what they are missing. Oh well.....they will find out soon enough.
If it's only in order to feel better in your head, DHEA usually does the trick. I'd try DHEA first. Also, try EMS (electric muscle stimulation). Even the hardest gainers get +20% muscles in a matter of weeks through EMS (without steroids!). You may not go above +20% but even that can improve your figure alot. Note that it seems HCG is not able to prevent balls shrinkage, it only makes it less severe.
Very sensitive topic I'd agree very useful for men over 40 problem is lots of youngsters in 20's early 20's want to hop on and hop on right away. They do it just because they wanna look better for the rest of their lives with out looking at all the sides that come with it.
That's steroid use you're describing for the youngsters. Not TRT. They wouldn't get anything more out of a prescribed dosage vs their natural production.
@@wd9581 what i mean is they hop on at an early age with out intending to come off. they'll blast off for their first or second, 3rd cycle in their early 20's and just commit to staying on a cruise until they blast again. (cruising at TRT levels) which will 100% put them "legally" on TRT. they wont get put on legally until far down the road when their system is all messed up but they've been self medicating for years already with TRT dosses and then back up to BB doses.
That car though...😁 Have been on TRT for 3 years. I sleep better. Having stomach issues. It suppressed those issues. Overall- I keep a feeling of well being. Only thing on my end is that blood HDL (good cholesterol) was on lower end but haven’t been working out lately. So stay in the gym and eat clean.! Another great video Rich!
My urologist recommended krill oil and niacin. It has raised my hdl. If that doesn't work and you are on something to lower estrogen you can switch to a different anti estrogen drug. There is one that raises hdl as a side effect. Don't remember the name but your doc should know.
I'm 54 my T was 270. Felt and looked like a pudgy slug and nothing would help. Went to a men's naturopath and was placed on pellets that have been great. My energy level is up, I'm working out and I'm down 40 lbs & the brain fog and low energy has lifted and I'm now at 1200. I have 20 that won't shake. My fault because of my crap diet but I'm getting better. I highly recommend.
Look at guys like Bruce Willis and Stallone. Would you rather look like them at 65-70 or like the old, wrinkly, bingo player looking guys that most of our grandfathers looked like
TRT has saved my life. Low T effects calcium absorption and was causing chronic kidney stones for me 10 operations to clear blockages across 20 years. Then depression kicked in and I couldn't get out of bed. I stopped being my usual funny witty self. Went to a naturopath doctor and started iv therapy for vitamins etc... he tested my hormones and discovered lowT.... I'd been taking 4 T3 per day 120 every month to cope with back injuries. Started TRT at 100 mg test cyp twice a week... within days of first shot I was like a new man... I basically cured my 10 years long depression... I bought skis and a snowboard. Called up old friends and began to socialize again. I saw how pretty my wife was... something I hadn't noticed for many years. Suddenly started to see beauty again. Life is really good now a year later. This saved my life and marriage without a doubt. Stopped the pain medication nearly cold Turkey and my doc was thrilled to see my improvement month over month.
My friend was doing the TRT shots, and he says he feels much better. I was tested and found my T level was 252, so started the TRT cream. Then I had my T levels checked again and my T levels went down to 230..? WTF? So I went back to the Doc and she wanted my to double the dosage on the cream, my response was negative doc. So I started the TRT shots 2 months ago, and I will have my T levels tested in 1 month. Will give an update to see if the TRT is working. So far I feel like I am doing a little better in the gym, and lifting more and my endurance is a little better, but we will see. Oh, and I turn 60 in 2 months.. Additionally, my Doctor has told me I look so much better, and whatever I am doing, to keep it up.. Sex drive is great, lifting heavier, endurance is much greater... sleeping better.. all in all, yes I would so go for it,.. Update: Had my T levels tested when I had blood work done, after 90 days of Intramuscular Injections (IMI) - my T level shot up from 252 to 512.. and my initial injections were 1mg every 2 weeks, and I am increasing the injections to 1.25mg every 2 weeks.. Will give an update in a few weeks.. cause I am going to have my blood levels tested in 2 weeks, and it will be 6 months since I started the injections.
I believe you when you say you feel better and I'm the last person to tell you you shouldn't do it.. But, at 600 ng/dl you don't have hypogonadism and TRT is questionable.
@@mikejankowski6492 are you serious? My 61 year old dad tested at 761 ng/dl. of Total Test. No TRT. Natural. Hardly works out properly. 600 might be amazing for you because you probably have high Free T at 600. In my family we need 1000 to have high Free T which is what I have.

@@MauriceLeviejr You avoid them unless the labs say you need them.
Started TRT at age 20. Best decision in my ENTIRE life. Extremely low natty levels
Bad sleep is not necessary a sign of low T. Being on TRT can worsen these symptoms. There is no rule of thumb and no "magic pill" (or shot) for ageing symptoms here. TRT is only one part of the puzzle. It can improve your lifting and muscles in long run, but it can worsen depressive states of mind and (paradoxically) so called "brain fog". Do not forget about side effects (baldness, hair growth, fluid retention, gyno, acne, increased appetite etc)
Is it true that TRT can possibly raise your risk for cancer?
@@evanserickson Testosterone is an anabolic hormone, so it stimulates cellular growth in the body, also in cancerous if it has T receptors present. Not much prospective studies had been done regarding general cancer risk, but known fact is that TRT is contraindicated in men with untreated prostate and breast cancer. Despite no well known risks you should be aware that TRT may add some component to your baseline cancer risks in the long term.
TRT is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I started three years ago shortly after starting a weight training regimen. My personal trainer recommended I get my levels checked. Turns out I was clinically low. I did not notice a huge difference until week number two. I remember I was doing chest, shoulders and triceps and suddenly had this extra boost of energy & strength blended with what I call a peaceful aggression. An overall feeling of well-being set in along with an attitude of “I can”. What followed is better sleep, better sex, more muscle, more energy, calmness, going to sleep quickly and waking up feeling rested. TRT is not for everyone. However, TRT has provided outstanding results for me.
Great story, thanx for sharing your experience. I am about to take my second shot today. The only thing that i noticed after my first shot was this calmness and happiness. Didn't feel wired but tired that night, but instead relaxed and sleepy. I just had this big smile on my face that i couldn't get rid of lol it was so strange. I take Sustanon, so it has this fast acting and slow acting esters. You feel it right away. At first i thought that it was a placebo lol.
@@Bertuzz84how you doing now?
Do you have to take it for life? Your balls don't create it anymore right?

Awesome. Glad it worked great for you. Im only 26 and had very low T for a year now with lab work to show.

Hello sir.... So you were on trt 10 yrs.... Great..... Sir what about your sexual drive during whole this occasions.... I mean is it above avg person just like your youth age.... Or it falls after 7 to 8 yrs on trt
Does it really shrink your balls and make you unable to have kids?
I’ve felt like shit for the past 5-6 years. I basically blamed that on a shitty marriage and divorce. I’m 33 years old now. I had a coworker tell me to get my testosterone level checked. It was 59.

@@savagestash4354 yes
I'm 35, and due to doing stupid cycles when I was in my 20's, my testosterone is clinically low as well. So I'm in the process of sending my test results off and have an appointment on August 15th to talk with him about TRT. I went from working out 5-6 times a week, to maybe once every 2 weeks. Drastic weight gain in the past 7-8 months. Also just overall more depressed, I'm about to be 36 and I'm not anywhere near where I want to be. So I'm doing something about it.
@@justinhayes2194 yeah it’s a game changer for sure. I’ve been taking trt for the past few years. My low testosterone levels were chalked up to a terrible stressful marriage and working 24 hour shifts on a 911 ambulance for the past 12 years “poor sleep and stress”.
I’ve been at the end of my rope. I’m 34 and have been suffering with low libido for a while, seriously affecting my relationship. After dozens of lab tests, a ton of exercise, and a shitload if incorrect “professional” advice I finally found a TRT doctor, on TH-cam of all places. Anabolic Doc. Haven’t started yet but I am super excited. If you’re in the same boat, go with your gut. It’s expensive and most insurances don’t cover all costs, but if I can have my life back money is literally no object at this point.
Thank you for giving TRT more positive coverage!
Time this is no longer a taboo topic!
If men experience low T symptoms, they should seek treatment, no shame in that!

I've lost a huge amount of body fat and gained a huge amount of muscle in the last year of TRT. It has literally made my life 1000x better!
i am 41 overweight and my test was down to 32 (500 - 1100 is normal) I got on trt 6 weeks ago and i have already lost 20 pounds and i have energy..there were days i could barely get out of bed 2 months ago. I was very depressed but now i am getting back in shape and i can actually do things...its literally saved my life..plz if you over 40 at least go get the blood work done, find your lvl and talk to your doctor. Especially if you're depressed!!
Good vid as always rich. I’ve been TRT since November of last year and I agree it is a game changer. I for one, am sick of the medical professionals telling us what is normal with regard to this because it is not normal. I feel great and my physique has changed drastically. And the confidence and feeling is second to none. Keep it coming daddy!
do you need to go under pct even if u inject and stay at normal lvls thanks
My shock was how quick they offered me anti depressants than hey let's get you blood works when I ask them they said why ...WOW
We need to be promoting our men in society obtaining optimal levels of testosterone. It amazes me how fast the baseline has gone DOWN in the last 50 years and how many doctors still don’t want to do anything about it. We need healthy and strong men in society. From our diets/exercise/sleep all the way to the point we need TRT, we need to be promoting healthy levels of testosterone! Great video, Richard.
I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong .I also don't seek anyone's approval what I do or put in my body .I have a friend that gave me lectures about skin cancer from my tanning year round .to me if you don't go into something new you want to try hap hazardly then you will know how to make the most of your new hobby. As far as me doing TRT it's nobody's business .if I look like my muscles are a little more defined .I just say I'm just lifting dumbbell weights

TRT is one of the best things I've ever done for my health and mental health. I'm stronger, sleep better, improved mood, increased sex drive, better workouts, more driven/goal oriented, better appetite. The list goes on and on...
Having ran several HRT clinics in Florida, it’s absolutely worth it as long as you do it under medical supervision. It makes life much more enjoyable. You cease to become an ailing grandpa.
Great to see TRT getting more positive coverage. Thanks for shining light on this somewhat taboo topic. Hopefully this encourages men to make the changes necessary and seek treatment if necessary.
TRT is a terrible idea. It'll very likely make you infertile and your nuts basically disappear. That's a very, very, very heavy price to pay for raising your testo a little. Just do the best you can to raise it naturally if your levels are low. In fact no matter how low they are you should always try to fix it naturally. Eat oysters. Get sun (vitamin D). Eat a lot of protein and veggies. Avoid processed foods. And of course... TRAIN HARD!!! ˇ\o/ˇ

Im 49 and had my 1st injection yesterday. So looking forward to getting back to myself again. I ignored my decline for a decade, this last year was the worst. Thanks for all the info bro.
after 3 months Do you feel better now ?
If you need heart meds, get heart meds. If you need cancer treatment, get cancer treatment. If you need TRT, get TRT. Take care of your health, just like you would for anyone else you love.
Meds are only masking the problem, not solving it. It needs to be solved!
cleonriize the treatment for most would be to be younger. Time machines don’t exist. Wait till you’re 40 and struggle in the gym. With TRT you’re putting a naturally occurring hormone in your body at an amount your body would normally have. Everything could be perfect in your life except for the fact that you’re older. That’s what TRT is for.
@@jpscharged Synthetic TRT, not the natural occurring ones that can be found by eating HEALTHY foods, getting enough sleep, working out. Getting rid of all the nasty chemicals you put on your body: fragrances, skin creams, soaps. Their are natural alternatives. Juicing to clean out your body. Body can't produce testosterone properly if the endocrine system is full of shit. Supplements can be useful, high dose vitamin D. Since we're not able to get enough sun during winter. People choose the easy way out
@@IamHardtokill He said he was eating clean and taking vitamins. Plus, he said the doctor had him try the natural methods and his estradiol was still out of wack. Did you watch the video?
@@IamHardtokill Do you have proof that those things raise testosterone. I've yet to see a video where someone shows actual proof that they raised their testosterone naturally.
Good job man thank you. There's a strange stigma around TRT. I'm 32 and at my lowest level I was around 75. There are alot of medications that lower T in men, i fell under that category without knowing. It's been 6 months since starting TRT and I feel great!! Thanks to guys like you spreading the word and encouraging the rest of us to get help. Keep it up!!!
TRT is changing lives: better mood, better sex, better relationships, better body, better health... if well controlled and monitored it is the future.
This is the absolute best TRT video i have seen on YT !
I have studied testosteron for 15 years and have heard and seen a lot of false shit !
But you Sir are spot on, and your breakdown needs to reach more people 👍👏👏👏
Since being on TRT, I've noticed a lot of positive side effects. The only one I have to be careful of is that I don't have patience for bullshit.
That's like me. Started TRT when I turned 50 and still on it. I feel great every day with balance. But my patience level for BS has shortened as well.
That's a good thing, nobody wants to be walked over. I am 50, just started TRT, I am not ready to bow down to the 30 year old betas we have in the world. I am NOT old
I started 4 months ago and have never felt better. My levels were 275 ish at 38 yo. Terrible numbers, but I was also working out lifting heavy 3-4 days a week and still feeling depressed, lethargic, brain fog, etc. Now I’m up several hundred points and counting and can’t wait to see how I feel in 6 months. So far so good
J H my levels were 250 with 50 being the other number. I’m 37. I can feel it... :(
@@GmoneyMozart mine are 138, I hope my doc helps me. i am 44
Doc did not help. She said I was in normal range and I KNOW that is false. Pisses me off
Jorge, 275 is not normal regardless of what the new scales might say. If feeling like shit and being close to suicidal is normal after eating healthy and working out 4 days a week for 9 months with no improvement, then I want no part in it. 6 months into TRT now and my depression is gone, energy levels back up and losing weight and gaining muscle in a healthy normal manner for the amount of work I put in.
jorge rodi BS, I had every other symptom in the book and according to several tests it was low. I have been working out 3 days a week for the last 10 years with almost no results and I couldn’t stay awake at my job. Difference is clear and it was needed. Diagnosed hypogonadism so you can stop trying to shame people bettering their lives.
I'm 48 years old. I've been on TRT for almost 2 years. Best decision I have made regarding my health. I was "low-normal" but that I felt like I had lost my edge and energy. I chalked it up to getting older. But I went and did it...It literally gave me back about 20 years it seems. Had some initial side effects regarding my estrogen levels but once we got that under control - nothing but positive. Biggest positive for me is the increase in my energy and the ability to keep muscle while trying to reduce fat. WARNING: TRT is a lifestyle not a "magic shot" of testosterone that takes away problems. TRT combined with weights, cardio and proper nutrition and you will be satisfied and get the most bang for your buck. Get optimized for you, your wife, family and your job :)
What were the side effects that you experienced?
Life changing. Two years in and loving it.
How are you now
Very well explained. January 2019 will be 1 year in on TRT and its the best decision I've ever made. At 57 I've been an active/natural lifter most of my life. At the age of 52 I could tell I was losing strength muscle and worst the sex drive. After depression hit me I new it was time to be tested. My Total test showed I was low normal but my free test was way under so always test your free testosterone to. My protocol is 100 mil. weekly for 8 to 12 weeks and take one week off for HCG for 5 days straight. I'm also tested every 3 months. I feel and look like I'm 20 again, well except for the grey and a few wrinkles. HaHa
10 months ago I began lifting and taking suppliments like boron, magnesium, and zinc, and I also gave up most of my beer drinking. A few things happened and I couldn't lift for a couple weeks and then I had blood work done. 387. The number sounded low and I immediately remembered the infamous Try Guys testosterone reveal video, and it turned out that I am just slightly better than the best Try Guy. A f'ing Try Guy! I've been tired for 30 years, and I have foggy thinking but yet I made all of those changes and I'm only a lousy 387?
Hey bro I’m 24 and did the same. Don’t drink, eat good, train in the gym and boxing. Got my levels checked and they were the same as yours. So disappointed. Done every thing right and I’m in the lower percent of men in my age range. Don’t want to jump on trt at 24 but don’t want to live life with low t even when I’m doing the right things.
I asked my pharmacist if he could recommend a hormone replacement clinic in my area and I ended up getting a 10 minute lecture on the dangers of TRT and how it would greatly increase my risk of prostate cancer later in my life. I asked the pharmacist if he had any scientific evidence to support his theory and he did not. I'm curious if anyone else has heard this before and if there really is any scientific evidence to back it up? My personal physician just laughed when I asked him about TRT therapy and told me that I shouldn't even consider it because my testosterone numbers hit the low end of the scale (300). I really enjoyed this video because it deals with subject matter that the general public views as "taboo", I hope that you continue the discussion of this subject on your channel Rich. Thanks.
Focal Point Images 1. They say that if you have a family history of prostate issues that trt will exacerbate those issues. Whatever they may be.
2. No one knows the long term effects of trt because it is still relatively new.
Thanks for another awesome video Rich.
I’ve been on TRT for 3 months, I’m just 44 and i should have done this 7 years ago....
Learning about this and how dropping testosterone effects your personality, mental health, decision making, rational, subservience etc etc has changed my life....
I used to be and Alpha but dropping test made me turn into an old woman, I started to notice that my 17 year old son seemed to be more of a man that me.
I’d become Beta! I was making poor Beta decisions and choices....
I had started at the gym about 14 months ago to turn my life around when I met a psychologist.... after a big chat he assured me that the reason I’m a big girl was 100% low Test...
Everything seemed to add up so I begun TRT.... I now feel like a million dollars, my physique is good, I’m strong and I’ve got my confidence back, I actually feel like I’ve become myself again.
Forgive me for explaining ‘subservience’ hope I do it just....’ less than a servant’
I found myself giving in to everything and everyone and becoming a door mat, wanting to keep the peace and please everyone...now i have zero interest in pleasing anyone, I’m totally focusing on myself and my game.
TRT has enabled me to deal with situations like a man (Alpha) inc getting a Hernia ( work not gym), a relationship ending and generally life being hard...
My attitude has been ‘nothing will stop me’
I ironically started my own recently along with a massive Vitamin D therapy & am amazed how much more energy I have now at 55, almost like being 10 years younger. My wife had been taking the female form of Hormone therapy a couple months before & I was impressed how much it helped her & started researching it for myself. Been on this program for only a month now & I've seen at least a conservative 30% difference so far & I'm quite sure it will improve even more, highly recommended to reverse the aging problem & symptoms with it. My Testosterone was in the basement in the very low levels & as a hard working Painting Contractor it was becoming difficult to perform my work long days the last 3 years, I'm on initial injections & now on a Pharmaceutical Testosterone Creme therapy that is quite effective my friend & having a lot more fun behind the wheel of my Hemi Challenger too.
Forgot to mention Vitamin D, anyone north of the tropics will probably be deficient. My labs showed me at the bottom of the range, my Doc has me on 12,000 IU of vitamin D daily now. Helps a ton
@@EntrepreneursInCars I'm on 50,000mg Vitamin D tablets once a week for 8 weeks then onto daily 2000mg ones, feel so much more alive as I thought I was dying & my energy levels were so low & with the Testosterone therapy it literally saved my life man.
@@vinniecorleone62 I'm on Vitamin D as well. One large pill per week for the past 3+ years.
@@EntrepreneursInCars I thought I was taking a lot at 6-8k IU/day.
I'm 40yo, I've started TRT two years ago do to low T, and I can easily say it was the best decision I've ever made! I feel and look better than ever before. I do follow a very healthy lifestyle, working out 5-6 days a week, matched with a super healthy Pescatarian diet....
No joke, I feel like I'm getting younger day by day!
@@runeskyttsing9089 ja vi har nebido. Injektion en gång var 7e vecka.
@@runeskyttsing9089 Ja 7 veckors intervaller ges av dom flesta privatkliniker i Sverige, får man behandling genom en vårdcentral skulle jag gissa på att intervallerna är längre, alltså som du skriver så beror det på ens vårdgivare. Problemet med såpass långa intervaller, även 7 veckor, är att man får höga dalar och djupa hål. Då sprutorna ges intramuskulärt så släpper musklen ut lite testosteron hela tiden, ibland mer och ibland mindre, alltså kan man få en känsla av bra välbefinnande ibland och tvärtom ibland.
I Sverige räknas "normala" testosteron värden ligga på 8-30 Nmol /liter blod. vårdcentraler går efter värdet 8 eller under för att behandla, medans privatkliniker går på 12. Problemet med våra kalkyler är att ramen för testosteron är densamma för en 18 åring som för en 80 åring, dvs att en 18 åring borde ligga runt 20-30 i värde för att vara normal, medans en 80 åring automatiskt kommer ligga runt dom lägre sifforna pågrund av ålder, det blir orättvist mot yngre personer med symptom då dom räknas som "normala" även fast dom ligger alldeles för lågt för sin ålder.
Skönt att du känner resultat av din behandling :) Krämen är smidig men jag hade valt injektioner då man behöver vara vaksam med krämen så den inte överförs till andra personer.
@@runeskyttsing9089 Hej igen =) inga problem alls. Svensk sjukvård ligger väldigt långt bak i behandling av testosteron-brist, dom flesta läkare i den offentliga sjukvården har väldigt lite kunskap om ämnet och vägrar i dom flesta fall behandla om man inte har extremt låga nivåer. Privatkliniker ligger långt före i kunskap och behandlar för att bota symptom på brist istället för att bara uppnå ett normalt värde vilket en vanlig läkare inte bryr sig om. Det är även viktigt att läkaren har koll på alla hormoner runtomkring testosteronet då enbart höga nivåer testo inte automatiskt ger patienten ett bra välbefinnande, östrogen/testo balansen är väldigt viktig för välmåendet tillexempel.
Rewell startades för ca 2 månader sedan och är just nu i uppbyggnadsfas med att skapa samarbete med fler vårdgivare runtom i Sverige. Dom som har varit med och skapat Rewell är några av sveriges främsta läkare inom Testosteron behandling så det känns som att dom kommer bli en bra vårdgivare inom trt. Bor du i södra sverige hade jag rekommenderat dig att kontakta dom och se över dina alternativ för att byta till dom. Enligt uppgifter jag fått så ska en behandling med Nebido i den privata sektorn kosta ca 10,000 om året.
Ang Nebidon i den offentliga vården: Det är i princip dött lopp, som jag skrev innan så är läkarna i den offentliga sektorn fruktansvärt långt bak i kunskap och när dom behandlar så går dom enbart för att uppnå ett värde i den lägre normal-skalan. Det är väldigt individuellt hur fort varje patients kropp förbrukar testosteron som man tillsatt kroppen och detta är något som tar uppemot 1 år att få rätt på så man kan ge rätt doser med rätt intervaller, detta finns dock inte i den offentliga sektorn, där skulle jag gissa på att den kortaste intervallen på injektioner man kan tjata sig till är runt 10 veckor, vilket är alldeles för länge. Detta försätter patienten i en väldigt dålig sits då man får väldigt höga nivåer första veckorna efter injektion och framåt slutet når lika låga om inte lägre nivåer än innan man sökte vård, detta bygger på okunskap.
Hur stor dos Tostrex tar du dagligen, 1 påse??
@@runeskyttsing9089 Kul att höra, jag delar gärna av mig med den lilla information jag besitter. Amerikanerna är mycket längre fram i detta ämnet än vad Sverige är och behandlar på ett helt annat sätt än vad Svenska läkare gör, dock är det Privatläkare som gäller där precis som här om man vill ha bäst resultat av behandlingen.
Jay Cambells bok har jag själv tänkt att jag ska köpa, har läst igenom några kapitel som jag hittade på nätet och han vet verkligen vad han snackar om. Håller med honom om att Trt handlar mer om "TOT" dvs testosteron optimering, istället för enbart "replacement", när man snackar om optimering ingår där så mycket mer än bara testosteron, alla värdena ska se bra ut för att uppnå ett riktigt optimalt välmående, boken rekommenderas av det lilla jag läst av den.
Det finns svenska forum där många som skriver är Trt patienter, jag har läst igenom lite av ett forum på Flashback, skriv "flashback Nebido" på google så kommer du till tråden som är på ca 500 sidor, väldigt mycket information där skrivet av personer som själva behandlas, finns mycket tips att läsa där.
@@runeskyttsing9089 Ok! 3gram är standard dosen. Offentliga vården brukar alltid först behandla med kräm för att se hur man svarar på testosteronet, men i längden hade jag inte rekommenderat dig att fortsätta med kräm. nu vet jag inte hur länge du har hållt på med krämen men många som jag har läst om skriver att dom mår jätte bra dom första 3-4 veckorna på krämen men sen när deras naturliga testo produktion stängs av så mår dom dåligt igen. Krämen tas ju upp väldigt snabbt och lämnar väldigt snabbt så berg o dalbane effekten brukar vara väldigt kännbar med kräm också.
Might be an important tidbit: make sure you get a prostate exam at some point for a baseline and possibly sometime during TRT. Paying attention to estradiol levels may be crucial to avoid prostate enlargement as excess estrogen over time is linked to growth, but only use aromatose inhibitors as your labs call for them. Crashing your normal estrogen levels can be just as (if not more) debilitating to your sex life and mental health. Love the vid, man! Glad you’re feeling better!
Hyper.Bomb do you have any first hand feedback about this ?
Man , I’m suffering terribly from stupidly taking only testosterone for almost three months , started getting night sweats and having to get up to piss so I stopped .. since then have had prostate issues .. and to anyone looking at taking these kinds of things should be aware of .
I wouldn’t wish some of these prostate symptoms on my worst enemy .. they are that bad .
Never had too much trouble with the restroom fortunately after several cycles. We’re talking 6 months’ worth (I was in a bad way, clean of everything now).
We have to take into account that prolactin buildup will occur when taking testosterone if left unchecked. Bloods should be done before starting and every 2-3 months to assess.
Your night sweats were likely related to prolactin buildup depending on dosage of T. Your PCT protocol and diligence with aromatase inhibitors based on labwork and physical symptoms could’ve played a part.
Then again, you may have aggravated a genetic predisposition to enlarged prostate. Ask your family if anyone else suffers your problem and if they recommend a urologist. I wish you well.
I will be on it the moment my doctor tells me I have low T. Love the car, man!
You're looking solid bro, keep picking up heavy shit and putting it down.
welcome LFA :)
Good stuff staying loyal to the natty game LFA, I'm in a similar boat and will jump on as soon as the decline begins. Just curious what are your stats and lifts, looking juicy already you will blow up on trt and possibly anabolics
Second that!!
Entrepreneurs in Cars im 21 my t is at good but I wanna have it at max for my physical and mental health is that a bad idea?
I just turned 40, got tested and my free level was 240. I took my first shot last Wednesday along with hcg, dhea, vitamin d and b. I already feel better and have much more hope for the future. It's very worth finding a good trt doctor
Nice Scott. You will be a new man. I promise

Remember kids-hate never comes from above You! -Rich Cooper. Such an amazing statement!

What's your TRT dose ? And are you taking anything to suppress estrogen and/or prolactin?
After 10 months, my blood work is perfect, my blood pressure went up, and after regular cardio is now perfect, and my brain, body, and outlook are all improved. 200mg/wk gets me to 830 total. It works for me, and that's good enough.
You had low blood pressure to begin with? I ask because I take blood pressure meds (my blood pressure is fine now) but I'm about to start this, getting my blood checked soon.
@@skylark4901 it tends to raise BP because TRT raises estrogen which causes you to retain water. People with high BP do not do good with extra water retention.
I never had high BP but started getting it after TRT

Great vid and on point! TRT is life changing, only way to describe it. I am 42 and haven't felt this good in years, wish I had pulled the trigger in my late 30s , but the decline was slow and insidious, you don't realize something is wrong, till its really wrong (total test was 400, free was 9, yes 9!)...As to the protocol...I pin test cyp twice a week(160mg), its not that bad after you have done it a few times.
9 pg/ml or ng/ml ???

and threatened feminist misandrists.
OR, it could be from guys who have very high levels of test and are laughing at us here.
ha! Great remark!
😂😂😂😂😂
Probably one of the most succinct and sound explanations of TRT I've heard. Good job.
I've heard that "drops by 1% per year after 30" thing before, but I had my levels checked today and it's been going down by over 15% per year for the last two years (I'm 32). I can hardly even fathom how that's possible but it explains why working out has almost no effect on my muscles anymore.
Treat the symptoms, not the numbers. Something hopefully your doctor knows as well.
Thank you for posting this video, it helped me in my decision to start TRT.
I spent almost 10 years feeling like complete trash, finally got my levels checked and they were almost non-existant (74). I've been doing TRT now for several months and it is a complete game changer. I'm back to working out, I've lost 40lbs and feel 100% better. I've noticed that my sleep has improved, joint pain is going away and my brain fog is clearing up.
Just something to note, this can happen to younger fellas too. I'm almost 39 and started noticing issues in my late 20's. In trying to find my 'root cause' it looks like my pituitary gland is no longer functioning correctly. Apparently, for those of us that have done combat sports in the past, this is not all that uncommon.
Get checked out, the person that cares the most about how you feel is you.
When your test is low, you just think different. Nothing really matters. Don't trust a doctor, figure it out for youself.
I’ve been just inside the “normal” range for years just inside the normal range, I’m 39 and 11 years ago it was the same, doctor is reluctant to help although I have lots of testosterone issues and allways have done
After being on TRT for almost 2 years I can say, yes, it's worth every penny. More energy, better sex, better workouts, more muscle retention and zero sperm count (birth control for men).
Edit: I'm 59.
Sir, What's your TRT dose ? And are you taking anything to suppress estrogen and/or prolactin?
I’m 27 and started trt last week, my level was 198 which is equivalent to a 80 year old man. I’ve been dealing with this for at least 3 years. I’m currently on antidepressants and antipsychotics because I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what was wrong and why I felt the way I did and that was the doctors solution. I am excited for the transformation that is going to happen mentally and physically.
I got my testosterone levels checked and it turns out that, unfortunately, I’m a woman. Doesn’t stop me feeling any less of a man though

I am 60 years old and started TRT at age 56 and it has really helped all aspects of my life. While I definitely recommend and condone treatment for us older guys, I am always a bit concerned when guys in their thirties and even early forties feel the need to start. Of course lifestyle and genetics plays a role. Maintain a good diet and exercise regimen, get adequate rest , manage stress levels (perhaps the hardest thing!) and hopefully you should be able to hold-off treatment for a few years.
I'm 66. What were and are your levels?
Thanks
@@SuperAlfaDogg between 200 and 300 when I started and now 750 - 900.
The reason guys are needing it earlier on average is probably because we’re exposed to more hormone disruptors/endocrine disruptors now than 30-40 years ago.
At 60 you have the perfect vantage point. You tell me how much life has changed for men in the last 30-40 years.
I just booked marked this video for motivation because I'm about to stick myself tomorrow.
I think TRT is different than plastic surgery. I'm doing it because my numbers were low and now that they are back in range I am getting so much more done and feel more like myself. Something to seriously consider for men in their 40s. I see no drawbacks. I use an estrogen blocker with it as well.

Thank you so much the minute I watched this vid I made an appointment and today I went in found out I was really low they were very professional and set up a treatment plan! Walked out with my first trt shot all my supplies for the year and my script is in the mail! Thank you thank you thank you!
I’m about to have an experience with it tomorrow at my doctors office,and I’m freaking PUMPED!
Excellent video, I just turned 40 and two weeks ago made a doctors appointment for TRT therapy. Tired of feeling like this, this Tuesday hopefully everything changes for the better
TRT, improved diet, 20 lbs. weight loss in that order made look and feel 15 years younger. I'm over 50
Roger M that’s the plan, I’ve lost 60lbs over the course of 2 years and go to the gym 3-4 SDSU’s a week so very excited. Thanks for the reply!
Roger, I’m in early 50s and thinking about it. I’m in pretty good share but I find lack of energy to make into the gym more than once a week. Of course that work out I give it my all and have a trainer. How long have you been taking it and any side affects so far?
@@36handy 6 years. The only negative is rare moments of inner rage or intensity. When that happens I know my levels have gone above normal and I back off on the dosage. I use much less now because my diet is way better, I fast 20 hours a day and I have less negative stress.
I've been on TRT for over three years now. I wouldn't change that for nothing. Getting your estrogen in check is most important. Don't hesitate
What's your TRT dose ? And are you taking anything to suppress estrogen and/or prolactin?
I had a vasectomy at 27, my testosterone immediately dropped to around 100nl/dL. I was miserable I went from 180lbs to 290lbs in 5 years, I slept all the time, I stopped being competitive at work, I didn’t have sex with my wife I had no desire. I would have killed myself if I didn’t have a responsibility to my young children.
At 35 I found a doctor who would help me and yes it’s a life changer and game changer I feel like I did before the vasectomy and I’ve lost 50lbs and have gotten promotions at work my wife is happy, I play with my kids now
Getting a vasectomy wasn't the cause for your T levels dropping.
@@redpillthinking6043 there are reports suggesting that
@@valuetainer3437 Link them, because I call bullshit. Getting a vasectomy doesn't lower testosterone levels.
@@redpillthinking6043 empiric experiences are more than enough, I've seen too many guys reporting that
it indeed lowers T
@@valuetainer3437 You mean anecdotal experiences? That's not evidence. Again, link the studies or research or STFU.
Starting taking trt 7 months ago and I never felt better!! More energy and not depressed.
I'm in my late fifties and have been on TRT for several years. Recommended by my physician after seeing low T on routine bloodwork. Injection every 2 weeks. For me, the biggest selling point was the brain fog I had been experiencing (I wrote this comment before I heard you mention brain fog at 3:28 . . . . interesting you used the same word). It absolutely did make a difference. I have also seen a response in muscle growth due to exercise . . . . I'm by no means a buff guy, but I do lift a bit to keep my joints working well and to feel well. I see the results in muscle growth and definition I didn't see before.
@@oceanpacific3841 Good! I find that lifting moderate weights helps knees and shoulders . . . . not light, but not heavy by any means. Squatting with 135 lbs, 40 lb kettlebell swings, 30 pound dumbell overhead presses, stuff like that (okay, that might be light to some of you guys). What hurt my joints was cardio kickboxing, which I did for about a year or two . . . knees and shoulder hurt all the time, and I thought it was age related. Until I stopped classes, then everything started to feel better, and realized it was just the kicks and punches on the heavy bag.
Injections every 2 weeks is horrible... You need once a week minimum, but twice is best. Hopefully you cope well with that schedule. It was hell for me
God two weeks. What ester
It's amazing to me that I'm now watching videos about TRT after having been a pro bodybuilder for decades and now having been clean for more than 10 years. There's very few combinations, benefits or side effects that I've not encountered over those years training/competing but here I am at 57 looking to other people for their input/information. That seems crazy but I will say with 100% certainty that everything you said in that video is gospel truth and I appreciate that. I'm headed out this week to get my blood panels done so I can move forward with optimization. To anyone on the fence as to whether to do it or not I can't/won't try to sway you either way. It's a very personal choice but if you're looking for someone to get a clear understanding of what journey you're going to embark on this guy is the real deal. I don't know him, I have no monetary gain in this, I simply listened to what he's saying and he's telling you the truth and at the end of the day that's all you can hope for from anyone on here. The rest is up to you. Good job Brother. 👍
I needed to hear this!! Thanks! ! Im 47 and feel like a 78 yr woman.
i cannot get boners
1st time watching this fellow. Very good presence. As a TRT user for over 20 years I have experienced just about every delivery system. I have a lengthy background on HRT and monitor many men and woman as their coach. I will tell you HANDS DOWN that testicular trans scrotal application is by far the way to go. It's an AM and PM application and many Docs have no clue and dont do their homework regarding this process. You know Jay so you now have the best system out there. Dont suppress estradiol with this delivery folks.
I'm 33 with a thyroid disorder (Hashimotos) and my testosterone reading was just checked with a result of 158 (pretty low, even outside of the normal low range). My doctor recommended shots but I have a thing about needles, so she prescribed the cream. My pharmacy had to order it and it will arrive on Monday. Now, after watching this, I'm a bit worried. I never thought about the cream being able to get on other people and I have a four year old. Do you think this is a bad idea? Should I just suck it up and get the shots?
Brother I would like to know if trt affected your thyroid at all ? I’m the same
Great video. I'm 56 and am living the life of low T. I have every symptom. In process of getting evaluated for TRT.
I'm very impressed with your protocol, I've been on TRT for 10 years on various protocols and testosterone esters some of which were awful and I'm now on a bi-weekly regime of Enanthate (european equivalent of Cypionate) with HCG and I finally feel settled so it's great you've gone right to the best protocol :-) it normally takes around 12 months for most guys to get dialled in so just stick with it as you'll get there. Final thing:- I've found slight adjustments to amounts based on how I'm feeling are working pretty well, freestyling as it were. Sometimes I feel like I need a bit less and other times a bit more, all within safe amounts just 5-10% tweeks as and when I need it.
What's your TRT dose ? And aren't you taking anything to suppress estrogen and/or prolactin?
I got referred to a dr who does sports medicine, family practice, & natural wellness. I made an appointment for both me & my husband. We were feeling way too old for our age. My husband had just had his 2nd shoulder surgery & in pain all the time. It was so sad. We both tested low in Testosterone. We are on our 2nd round of Bio-TE pellets & will never look back. The pellets last up to 6 months. It costs me about $350, & him about $800 as he needs much more than me. T Replacement has been a Godsend. We feel like we are in our 20's again. We finally got that boat we've always talked about getting. For us, T equals life. We feel like we are aging backwards. God Bless.
Very helpful thanks. You speak to me. A year later now, all still good?
200mg of Testosterone injected every 2 weeks was a game changer for me. I've always been high energy, but gradually low energy, brain fog, don't care attitude, and no morning wood set in. I finally got T-tested... yep, was 241... slightly below normal range. Been injecting on it about 6mo. Brain fog gone, I'm stronger (measured by what I can do at the gym), most of my energy is back, I get morning wood daily, yea! My numbers came up only about 100 after 90 re-test, but I'm hoping for larger rise at next re-test. Conclusion... Everybody's different, but if you get too low for you, go get yourself checked!
Great informative video. I went on TRT, after being checked out by my Dr. and found that my test. level was low. I was just tired, taking afternoon naps, after just mowing the yard. I would work out .and not get any pump, like I used to, why even go to the gym? And just kind of, well I'll do it tomorrow attitude with everything. I don't even say anything about it, because people think, 'you're a weird 'roid man, bet you get all aggressive, and want to beat people up'. Not at all, just feel, and do the things I used to, turn back the clock a bit, works for me. I play guitar still playing gigs, rocking out, not in a rocking chair,,
I've been on TRT for 1.5 years at the age of 45. Best thing I've done for myself. Its not "juicing up." All it does is bring your natural test levels back up to the normal range (if you are using it as directed and not taking advantage of having it and over doing it.
Do you need to go under pct even if u stay at normal lvls after injecting thanks
@@peacerelaxation4795 What do you mean by pct?
All the power to men (and women) to make yourself feel the best you can feel. This benefits everyone and as a woman, please do whatever it takes to keep the morning wood alive!!!
Gotta say Rich I was listening to this on my drive home from work and it felt like I was in your Audi that V10 threw my speakers 🔊 beautiful nothing like it 👌🏻 🎶 👂🏻
58, training since 1989, good genes on my favor, but since i went into TRT 12 years ago ( on my own ) i notice a dramatic difference in my body. Same size as i had, same bw, but increased vasularity and a different look
All my test comes from UGLs wich is 100% of the time underdosed but rarely fake. As a precaution i go up to 400 mg a week ( you need to take double cause is not farmaceutical ) no need for Anastozole but i take 2 pills a week as a precaution. No HCG ever ( happy with my size )
Testosterone was a life changer experience in all senses, not only at a muscular level. Im on for it
Hello sir..... You are great.... What about sexual drive and performance while on trt and also not taking hcg....
Im 36. On trt for a year. 200mg a week. Tested last year at 340mg/dl, my free T was really really low though, so I qualified. Today im around 850-900 mg/dl and my free test and estrogen are in the money range according to my doc. I'm trying to tell my friends to get on the T train but they won't listen. They have no idea what they are missing. Oh well.....they will find out soon enough.
If it's only in order to feel better in your head, DHEA usually does the trick. I'd try DHEA first. Also, try EMS (electric muscle stimulation). Even the hardest gainers get +20% muscles in a matter of weeks through EMS (without steroids!). You may not go above +20% but even that can improve your figure alot. Note that it seems HCG is not able to prevent balls shrinkage, it only makes it less severe.
Your car on TRT too?
The car is TRT !
His car is "juiced "
The car is on high dose Tren and it's very aggressive! :p
His car claims all natural but we know it's juiced to the gills.
Jacare1973 that car runs premium anadrol
Very sensitive topic
I'd agree very useful for men over 40
problem is lots of youngsters in 20's early 20's want to hop on and hop on right away. They do it just because they wanna look better for the rest of their lives with out looking at all the sides that come with it.
That's steroid use you're describing for the youngsters. Not TRT. They wouldn't get anything more out of a prescribed dosage vs their natural production.
@@wd9581 what i mean is they hop on at an early age with out intending to come off. they'll blast off for their first or second, 3rd cycle in their early 20's and just commit to staying on a cruise until they blast again. (cruising at TRT levels) which will 100% put them "legally" on TRT. they wont get put on legally until far down the road when their system is all messed up but they've been self medicating for years already with TRT dosses and then back up to BB doses.
That car though...😁 Have been on TRT for 3 years. I sleep better. Having stomach issues. It suppressed those issues. Overall- I keep a feeling of well being. Only thing on my end is that blood HDL (good cholesterol) was on lower end but haven’t been working out lately. So stay in the gym and eat clean.! Another great video Rich!
thx for sharing your experience.
Absolutely! I appreciate your work. You’ve helped me out a lot along with RMG!
My urologist recommended krill oil and niacin. It has raised my hdl. If that doesn't work and you are on something to lower estrogen you can switch to a different anti estrogen drug. There is one that raises hdl as a side effect. Don't remember the name but your doc should know.
Brandon J - thank you for the info. I’ll look into it!
What's your TRT dose ? And are you taking anything to suppress estrogen and/or prolactin?
I'm 54 my T was 270. Felt and looked like a pudgy slug and nothing would help. Went to a men's naturopath and was placed on pellets that have been great. My energy level is up, I'm working out and I'm down 40 lbs & the brain fog and low energy has lifted and I'm now at 1200. I have 20 that won't shake. My fault because of my crap diet but I'm getting better. I highly recommend.
Look at guys like Bruce Willis and Stallone. Would you rather look like them at 65-70 or like the old, wrinkly, bingo player looking guys that most of our grandfathers looked like
Damn good point 👍🏽
TRT has saved my life. Low T effects calcium absorption and was causing chronic kidney stones for me 10 operations to clear blockages across 20 years. Then depression kicked in and I couldn't get out of bed. I stopped being my usual funny witty self. Went to a naturopath doctor and started iv therapy for vitamins etc... he tested my hormones and discovered lowT.... I'd been taking 4 T3 per day 120 every month to cope with back injuries. Started TRT at 100 mg test cyp twice a week... within days of first shot I was like a new man... I basically cured my 10 years long depression... I bought skis and a snowboard. Called up old friends and began to socialize again. I saw how pretty my wife was... something I hadn't noticed for many years. Suddenly started to see beauty again. Life is really good now a year later. This saved my life and marriage without a doubt. Stopped the pain medication nearly cold Turkey and my doc was thrilled to see my improvement month over month.
If testosterone had a sound, it would sound like that car!
The car sounds like midlife crisis...
Engine sounds great but a straight pipe Harley Davidson does it for me
The car sounds like my dick purring first thing in the morning 💪
My friend was doing the TRT shots, and he says he feels much better. I was tested and found my T level was 252, so started the TRT cream. Then I had my T levels checked again and my T levels went down to 230..? WTF? So I went back to the Doc and she wanted my to double the dosage on the cream, my response was negative doc. So I started the TRT shots 2 months ago, and I will have my T levels tested in 1 month. Will give an update to see if the TRT is working. So far I feel like I am doing a little better in the gym, and lifting more and my endurance is a little better, but we will see. Oh, and I turn 60 in 2 months.. Additionally, my Doctor has told me I look so much better, and whatever I am doing, to keep it up.. Sex drive is great, lifting heavier, endurance is much greater... sleeping better.. all in all, yes I would so go for it,..
Update: Had my T levels tested when I had blood work done, after 90 days of Intramuscular Injections (IMI) - my T level shot up from 252 to 512.. and my initial injections were 1mg every 2 weeks, and I am increasing the injections to 1.25mg every 2 weeks.. Will give an update in a few weeks.. cause I am going to have my blood levels tested in 2 weeks, and it will be 6 months since I started the injections.
My levels were at 600 when I started. Now I’m about 1100 and feel great. I have good workouts and the sex is great
Plz rank your sex drive on a scale of 1 to 10.
I believe you when you say you feel better and I'm the last person to tell you you shouldn't do it.. But, at 600 ng/dl you don't have hypogonadism and TRT is questionable.
What's you dose? Mind also telling us your estrogen levels?
@@mikejankowski6492 are you serious? My 61 year old dad tested at 761 ng/dl. of Total Test. No TRT. Natural. Hardly works out properly. 600 might be amazing for you because you probably have high Free T at 600. In my family we need 1000 to have high Free T which is what I have.
A test of 600 is perfectly normal. If your test gets too high the negative begin to outweigh the benefits.
