I played sports since I was 4 years old. I began routinely weight lifting when I turned 18. My father was a powerlifter who taught me how to train. Since 18, I have really researched nutrition, routines, and supplements (which I use few of).
I have been unable to add much mass at all (155 lbs currently and approx 12% bf). When I bulk, I eat 500 cals over maintenance, and clean. I have tried this in 4 month increments, but I usually add 15 lbs. Unfortunately, most of this seems to be fat in my midsection, and upper thighs. I have attempted to mess with macros, eating clean/dirty, and nothing has worked.
I have found that I do have many of the symptoms of low test. I have lethargy, low libido, weak erections, low body hair, and the obvious inability to gain muscle mass. I also have a slight bit of gyno, but doesn't look awful since my body fat is low.
I set-up an appointment with a doctor to get my test levels checked. However, I have a feeling unless they are really low, my age will deter him from prescribing (25 yrs old).
Any opinions on what could be done if this doesn't work out. I am thinking of going the ph route, but research just leaves me confused about what to run. I hate working hard in the gym, and never achieving any results.
