Destined for HRT

[gymratforlife]

No I definetly think you have a descent build dont get me wrong Im not knocking your build bro,just thought you looked smaller than 200lbs at 5'11" anyhow like the others have said dont do it man.

Do you have gyno?

Do you have gyno?

had it since I was kid, it's kinda subsided since I leaned out, but it's still there and bugs the shit outta me.

Also, you guys know those pics are from a few months of just starting to work out until now.. I'm wonderin if some of these comments are b/c they are confused by the pics?

Dial Tone beat me to my post.

Get your training sorted before you throw your endocrine system down the toilet.

Maybe if you didn't surround yourself with people that were on permanently on and doing HRT (just like i'm asking about), it'd look a little more like I work out to you. If you can't see the difference in the pictures I suggest you get glasses. How many 5'11 200lb guys with 17 inch arms, at my bodyfat, etc. etc. that don't work out? They must be the next fuckin ronnie colemans then...

In addition, this thread was not started to get comments and criticisms on my pics, I was asking about HRT, where I'm in my bodybuilding "career" so to speak is irrelevant to what I am asking.

Just as a point of reference, I am 39 y/o, 5'11", 172lb, 17% BF with a tiny frame (my wrist circumference is 7", biceps 15"), have been lifting heavy for 2 years and I look more developed than your "after" pic.

I think that's why people are questioning your stats.

P.S. You do look much more developed in the latest pic you posted.

Like I said on the other board, HRT at 21 is a BAD idea
And you would be a fool to do it at this stage in your life, IMO

I would hope that after a few years of being around I-T regularly that you should know that already (And you do . I think you just "want" to stay on all year round and want a justifiable reason to do that...)

If you are truly passionate about lifting and want to dedicate the next 15 or 20 years of your life to it and have real hopes of becoming a professional strongman or bodybuilder then that's a rational choice you can make.

If you are considering this simply through the consuming obsession of a hobby or the insecurity of needing to look good then you'd be better off seeking therapy and counselling than destroying parts of your body for something the thought of which which might even bore you in five years time.

you hit the nail on the head right here.

You need to listen to all the advice that you're recieving here. This is advice comming from guys that have been in the game a whole lot longer than you and know a lot more than you do. Swallow your inflated pride and heed their advice. So what you've read a few medical journals and have some cycles under your belt, that doesn't compare to the collective years of experienced vets here that are trying to save you from making a horrid mistake.
