You guys better get your TEST checked

[GoneForever]

So in the past few months i've noticed a lot of "low test" results coming back. Most people dont even bother to get their levels checked and most who do come back with poor results. Take this a sign guys. I feel very strongly that most people who cycle(even with a proper pct) are not gonna be pleased with their natty levels, its just that most people hop back on a cycle so fast they dont realize their natural levels are effected. Whether your 20yrs old or 50years old, I personally feel that at least 80% of you who cycle even responsibly with pct and everything are gonna find your going to need HRT. Just something to think about.

very true bro. i hate to admit that i am going to end up on hrt as well. good news is i stayed on 200 mg for 5 months and maintained 90% of my size.

Im 52

Started cycles at 21. Didnt even know what pct was. My test results show Im fine. I wouldnt worry to much unless you stay on for a long time. testing is a good idea though.

I know just by the way that I feel, that my test levels are low......... real low. After this prop run, I'm going straight to the Doc.

I have always thought that steroids were kind of a 'no going back' kind of thing.

IE mess with it for even a short period and you are destined for HRT, or low test forever.

I agree. I actually think when I was 19 I screwed myself up for life from PH's. This guy at a supp shop put me on 1ad,4ad and 19nor. Did like 5cycles of that stuff. Didnt even know what I was doing at that time. Just knew I wanted to get big and not use aas LOL if I only had known.

Tell me about it, back then. I had free reign on those. I popped those like candy. God only knows what I did to myself.

I really think its individual like most things bros...Some people get lung cancer who never smoked a day in their life while others smoke to their 100 without ever being diagnosed....There is no hard fast rule that steroids = low test forever....But I would say most users do not weigh the risks vs the possible gains

Well I turned 40 in January. I was at the doctor last year this time and had my test, cholesterol, liver values, etc. the whole thing tested. I found out my test levels were very klow. I went because i was putting fat on like the freakin pilsbury dough boy. My eating didnt change nor did my workout. But ihave done a lil better then 10 cycles since i was about 25. So i think if your close to the 30 yr old mark you need it done. I go back next monday for a full exam with blood work.

Good idea. Maybe a 4th one also since they usually come in pairs.

I also think many bro's "think" their test has recoverd just b/c they have a sex drive and are still keeping weight. You can still very easily have low test levels and not even know it.

 

[Dave_19]

mine has naturally been low since 21, I'm not sure before then because I never got tested but I felt like it was higher, based off libido at least and how crazy I was as a teen. Good thread.

As with just about everything else, there are genetic factors that come into play. Some people will have more of a negative impact from the aas than other people...just part of life. So, needless to say, routine check-ups (including test levels) are definitely a good idea.
