Yup! I was thinking that my low T is contributing to the slow growth of my muscles. I lift heavy and eat a lot but I've been stuck at 144-148 lbs.
I was having the same problem. I was hitting by the gym pretty hard but making very few gains. Even though the calories and training were there I just couldn't stay motivated because there was no progress at all. I decided to get my test levels checked and I was at 150 so the Doctor prescribed me 100mg test cyp per week. Now I am at 100mg every 3 days and feel great!
Does increasing T really help building more muscles?
atl3128, what is 100mg test cyp?
100mg is the dosage a week and Test Cyp is a Anabolic Steroid used to increase ones testosterone synthetically. As low as your levels are it should not be to hard to find a doctor who will prescribe you at least that level for TRT. Fairly cheap if you have insurance if you don't its still very cheap on the black market but illegal if you go that route how ever to each his own.
Please do this before injecting test and making your body shut DOWN and become dependent:
TRY CLOMID!!! It doubles natural testosterone levels

We have not witnessed any negative side effects from extended periods of use of clomid in men (highest prescription time being 7 years so far). This will increase your test drastically, is cheaper, and does NOT SHUT YOU DOWN!
Injecting testosterone is no joke and IMO Clomid should be used in 100% of people needing to increase testosterone, before injecting test as a treatment... unless you had testicular trauma which causes them to just plain not work, period. Then injectable test is the way to go unfortunately.
I've started reading about Clomid. I'm worried about the side effects. Do you know of any member here taking Clomid? I would like to hear more from him.
Also, do I need prescription for this?
