TRT is more dangerous than steroids

[Rambone]

Somebody needs to warn Justin Compton that he is in more danger than ever before!

TRT is a form of bio-identical testosterone and therefore not a steroid.

I forget which guru taught me this, but they are the authority in this regard.

Was it Bhanky?

testosterone is the very definition of a steroid, lol


"Testosterone is a steroid sex hormone indicated to treat primary hypogonadism and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism."

This lack of forum knowledge sickens me.

It was not doom and gloom.

He said being on TRT (unless medically necessary) is an admission that you are less of a man without TRT.

I am guided by the teachings of Bhanky.

This could be his teaching for finance, nutrition, training, race car driving, tricycle riding, romance, fighting, hydraulic car lifts, investing, legal matters, strict curling, and more.

You could argue that testosterone isn't an anabolic steroid, rather an androgen. Because anabolic steroids were testosterone derivatives where they attempted to dissociate the anabolic and androgenic effects - it didn't work too well. You can sometimes see the phrase "testosterone & anabolic steroids", for example in relation to drug testing. Of course testosterone is very anabolic as well, more anabolic than most "anabolics." Back in the day bodybuilders didn't understand this which is why they avoided test itself. But this is likely what the guru was referring to, "anabolic steroid."

TRT to Hanky is a few grams of Test for life !!

I didnt get that far, I dislike hypocrites and he sure looks juicy.

TRT always gave me a feeling of well being.

Test levels begin steadily dropping at the age of 25 and continue to do so as time goes by............replacing it with a normal level of TRT is a good thing for older guys IMO.

Exactly

This is why there have been no Getbig Awards for the last two years.

[Never1AShow]

Pssshh, what's all this testosterone stuff?  Melatonin is the real growth machine.

[MAXX]

test is great but it comes with drawbacks in supraphysiological levels

bloodpressure and hemacrit mainly and all the cascading effects and complications that can arise from that and god knows there is a lot

I had some issues arise from just using 250/week (well at times more like 300-350 tbh)

[Agnostic007]

Just had my pellets inserted today. Been on it about 14 years. Don't see a point I would stop before 75, Everyone needs to make an informed decision on their health. I'll go back in 3.5 months. $30 copay. Money well spent for me 

at around the 5 minute mark he says he's not an expert. My urologist is... so I think I will be continuing my treatment

Unlike steroids, isn't testosterone naturally produced? If the answer is yes, your assumption is wrong

Were you allowed to keep taking it before and after your surgery?

[oldgolds]

It's funny to hear guys on here say their "clean" because they're only on TRT....lol...
No, clean means natural, healthy, good food, good training, working with what God created.
How can a person take pride in building muscle and strength when it comes from a weekly injection of drugs in your butt?

[robcguns]

I take 100-120mgs a week. If using real doses like these there should be little to no worries. I have a few “friends” who get 250-350 weekly from dr and that blows my mind. I think with 200+ there will be issues.

I lowered to around that now. Strength is down but whatever I get some peace of mind from not having the issues I had with BP creeping up to close to 120 and high hemacrit

since what I'm doing is so low I'm thinking i might aswell just go on hcg to get my own levels back really well.

then maybe just do some 300 test cycles from time to time to see how my body reacts

I stopped entirely once I got sick and will never do them again.

lol - Having been following the forum since the day after Mike Mentzer died I should know better.
