Self trt advice

Chill50 · Apr 18, 2023

Hey all,

Been reading a few posta and wanted to create a thread to ask about doing self trt.

Little background and medicals.

Precovee liftee quite a bit. more so power lifting but 6 days a week. During covee everything shutdown hear so I ended up buying equipment but it took 6 months to come.
I started doing alot of BJJ during the past couple years and my weight training took a backseat. I would say about 5 days a week 2 hours day training.

I'm wanting to get more into strength training again and find a balance. Due to injuries seeming to happen easier and strength going down. I work construction and always usually have good stanima.

Anyways 39 y.o., 200lb, 5'11"

I was feeling real tired a few weeks back, and with it came poor mind and body. I went to doctor and had blood work. Can't find the sheets right now but first test came well below, then took another test in the morning and the levels were slightly above the threshold. They are very reluctant in Canada to give anything or even refer to Endo and it seems like months to get anything done so I'd rather just do it myself and get blood work done every so often.

Diet is not the greatest, basically eat one big meal in the evening and maybe smaller one during day. Trying to do lots of protein, we bought a full cow so lots of beef.

What's a good start for amount and type of trt?

For energy is there anything to recommend or just get your lazy azz and work

.

Thanks

It's pretty much the same here in Australia, you can got to a private TRT clinic but then your looking at like 300 per month.

As much as you want to get your levels back up, I'd recommend getting on top of your diet first. 3-6 months solid, then I'd look at starting your trt.

Without your results it's hard to tell. Diet can really impact everything, test levels can improve with diet. I know it's nothing great but while you're working on the diet you can get a natural test booster. Then get bloods redone and go from there.

Remember TRT isn't a cycle it's a life decision, i myself have been toying with it for a while, I've got my diet and training in check and consistently so I should reap the benefits more than someone who hasn't.

As most will say post a log, with as much detail as possible and from what I r seen the advice will come

Good luck dude

Ok. Look at lifestyle first. Over worked, tired and stressed will knock your test levels. Then diet (you say it could be better) needs fixing. Ditto fat levels. Higher levels will affect test levels. Fix those and get retested BEFORE looking at self TRT

Diet and lifestyle play a huge role especially as you age... if you dont address these first, then you are spinning your wheels.. not to mention, its not just cut and dry on trt doses.. it comes down to your levels, lifestyle etc.. its not just a random answer that gets thrown out there but the lifestyle changes need to come first

Fella Finn · Apr 19, 2023

A bad diet can have a very negative effect on your testosterone numbers as well as your overall health in general. I agree this needs to be addressed first because it could have a direct effect on your number in general

25homes · Apr 19, 2023

you need to get your diet and training on point first. Then I would start at 150-200mg weekly and see how you feel... CHeck out @domestic-supply.com for everything you need bro

stevesmi · Apr 19, 2023

if you want self trt you need a good quality source that is reliable

start with 90-125mgs a week. make sure you run bloods to balance things out

bro i prefer sports trt

Chill50 · Apr 20, 2023

Sorry had a long day with workout and finishing a couple jobs. Thanks to everyone for the replies, tons of great info

Sounds like my eating needs to get in order first.

So I'm going to start there.

I'll look at ordering as well.

I'll def make a journal, I usually use watch to record weight and cardio workouts.

Since I want this for lifestyle change I just want to make sure it is sustainable for long haul from trt, diet, workout, and logs.

The guys gave you some great advice.

Masonic Bodybuilder · Apr 21, 2023

Find a different doctor man. I am in Canada and my doctor was more than willing to work with me when I said I wanted to explore TRT.

Topps_Baseball88 · Apr 22, 2023

The main thing is this needs to be done for all the right reasons. Gym gains are fantastic imo Trt should be for mental health reasons and quality of life reasons first and foremost, think about the gym secondly and about your longevity first.

I agree with the guys between 100mg up to 150mg try to get a full blood pannel done beforehand if possible so you understand and show people the pannel so they can see if any red flags pop up.

Typically I like ro do blood work 2-3 times a year just to make sure I am tip top. Good luck and God speed and I hope you reach the motherland, definitely do a log..

Kman6745 · May 16, 2023

I'm Canadian too and I've found it's mixed bag up here, I've had a couple great docs and some not so great. I made the decision to do self TRT years ago and have never regretted it. Doing it on your own means taking responsibility for your own well-being though. I'd say everyone's giving you good advice so far, all the input from so many is a great resource for info.
The only reason I went on my own was being tied to what the Doc wants / says and it wasn't working for me. I was only allowed 100mg per week and after a year and a half it wasn't doing shit as far as how I felt, thought, sex drive etc so I decided to go on my own and discovered a few things. After playing with my dose I got the results I was looking for and my Type-2 diabetic issues vanished as well as my cholesterol issues...lol. I feel great, no depression, high energy and high sex drive. I won't say how much it took for me because everyone is different so the dose that worked for me might be too high for you and being stuck "dependant" on TRT for these issues you want to use as low a dose as possible. There was some French Doc that wrote a book on the whole benefit from TRT and Type-2 Diabetic issues but I can't recall the guys name. Anyway in my case it was well worth it and everyone here is a great resource for help and info, good luck and let us know what and how things are going.
