I don't know if that's the study SciAm was talking about but I read all about the problem in Scientific American last year. All I know is that it hasn't affected my family (at least not yet). Some countries are worse than others but it's worldwide. Birth rates of male children are decreasing. Worldwide by something like 150,000 per year. It's a large enough number that they're called "Lost Boys".There is a huge study that came out recently on the decline of average male testosterone levels, it's a shockingly massive decline in the last couple of decades, across all age groups too. I don't have the study on hand but I've seen it in the past.
Saying TRT is for hypogonadal males on this forum doesn't seem right, since we are cycling AAS and using TRT to bridge in most cases, or just using TRT for the extra bottle every couple months. If you are cycling and doing TRT/bridging between cycles, you absolutely should have a script for TRT.
TRT is for hypogonadal males. Feels right for me to say it because it's a fact. Someone coming off a 6 month megablast is going to be hypogonadal. I never even heard of "bridging" until a few years ago on these forums. And bridging isn't replacement therapy it's just lower-dosed juicing. Which is cool, I'm not judging. I just don't do it that way. People, myself included, would very often say on here that they would go off and do PCT until they got their numbers back and then go back on. It seems to me that only in the last 10 years people (many people) have dropped all pretenses and now just straight up say, "Fuck it, I'm just going to stay on for good."
When I was in my younger days, I thought (at least I believed) everyone knew the day would eventually come when they would have to say goodbye to juice for good. And if you do it right, I believe you can. But if a little boost into the aging years helps and improves quality of living then sure, I'm all for it. But let's not kid ourselves. It's not anti-aging. It's pro-aging. There's 30-somethings on this board producing less testosterone than their mothers. Which reminds me of a funny thing I read on here years ago, made me LMAO, said, "I don't care that my nuts are shrinking. My thighs were crushing them anyway."
