Hi,
Got inspired to have my testosterone level checked after reading an article in a recent muscular development magazine. I'm a 24 year old guy, and it seems like my natural test levels suck as the results were-
412.99 ng/dl
I'm in the military and got it tested on base, they claim normal range is 241-827ng/dl. The magazine article said the high normal was more like 1200 as opposed to my doctors stated 827. This leads to several questions-
First, how do I get my natural level up to that 800+ figure? Keep in mind that being in the military and being concerned about my career, using drugs isn't an option I'm willing to consider at this point. However, I'm fairly certain that something needs to be done! My goals lately have been more geared towards muscular endurance as opposed to size, and it seems like I've been spinning my wheels the last 6 months or so. Despite eating a clean supposedly correct diet, my gains are minimal and lost quickly. Specifically, pullups, pushups, dips, run time, swim time, forced march time, etc. I drink plenty of water and sleep at least 7 hours a night 90 percent of the time.
Is my seemingly low testosterone level to blame? What are my options? A few times in the past I've tried a few prohormones...tried some of the muscletech stuff with no noticeable benefits (not even a placebo effect really) A few years ago I used a product called maxabol and that stuff made me feel really strong, really aggressive, I put on some good size, but I had a lot of hair loss.
Thanks in advance everybody,
John
