Hello all. first off, love the website, and thank you to all the knowledgeable information posted on here. But, I've started to do research and looking into anabolic. I'm a 6ft, 185lb, 26y/o male that has been in and out of the gym since I was 18. Over the past 2 years is really when I've been able to stay dedicated in the gym and buckled down and gotten serious about lifting and physique. I'm in the gym 5-6 days a week, 2 hours at a time. I've went from 235lbs 30%+ bf down to 185lbs and fluctuate right now between 10-15% bf depending on my routine. I would like to say I've done a lot of research online and taking advice from knowledgeable people in the gym that my diet is down pretty solid with clean whole foods, protein intake, ect. It doesn't seem that I've had a lot of problems with weight loss, but of course muscle gain, hence the reason I'm here. I've kept record of arm, chest, waist, leg, ect size over the past two years to keep track of progress. Besides dropping body fat, I have hardly seen any results. I finally went and had a few labs drawn to see testosterone and thyroid levels. Results came back with Total testosterone of 258ng/dl and TSH of 2.07. The physician I went to is forwarding me to a urologist which i have an appointment with next week to discuss T therapy. I guess my question with all this is at 26 years old should I really be considering Anabolic? or would do you think T therapy may increase my levels enough to start obtaining substantial gains with continued hard work and diet? I haven't really been able to find a thread with talking about t replacement gains secondary to low T prior to going anabolic. Sorry, been searching and searching, and finally my eyes were crossing so i decided to just post a question and take a bashing. Thanks in advance for any info...

Working out 2 hours a day 5-6 days a week is too much for most people. That alone could make it hard for you to gain muscle and lower your testosterone.

AHAHAHAHAHA I should go tell myself this.
Gerbil we need to sit down
Yes Gerbil whats up?
Working out 2 hours 5-6 days a week is bad for you.
I dont know what to say Gerbil I am in shock.
Its ok Gerbil I am here for you.
*Self hug*
Conflict resolved.

I disagree but my alter ego did sit me down and we had a wonderful conversation.

If you have a low test count and are about to get on t lest therapy idk if anabolics, which will further decrease your test levels and mess with other things in your body, is what's best for you.

I'm sure its perfectly fine for some people.

Agreed also some people would be in a ball on the floor crying with that kind of schedule, also alot of people cant recover that well.

Thats cardio included on days I do cardio. Some days are shorter than others, that just an average. I have the luxury of having a gym at work, but sometimes were interrupted during a workout. I've dropped my workouts to every third day for the past week just to get a little extra recovery for two to three weeks due to a pissed off shoulder.

DAA would be my first step.

As in over the counter d-aspartic acid test booster? I've tried a few different test boosters in the past. I've tried and wasted money on a ton of different supplements over the past couple years. I'm just about burnt out on trying different supplements and yielding absolutely no results. Another reason why i'm leaning towards anabolic. But, thank you for taking the time to reply.

Anyone's else input would be appreciated.

DAA is cheap. Try it out, it works.
