Got Bloodwork back - Low Test

[mrsocal]

So I got some bloods done and my test came in at 223. Which from what I read, is below the standard range. I haven't done a cycle in about 10 years, and only 2 modest cycles were done in total. Right now I'm 32.

I haven't heard back from my doc yet but what can I expect for next steps? Will the put me on TRT?

Also - does low testosterone have anything to do with the ability to burn fat and lose weight? I have been doing multiple daily cardio sessions and dieting like a sumbitch for about 6 months and i've stalled at about 13-14%. Even with a sarms triple stack cycle...can't break that plateau.

ANyways, not sure if it has any correlation with weight loss but thought I'd check.

yes low test is a problem with getting rid of fat.

try to also increase ur test naturally by doing squats or deep knee bends. u can do deep knee bends at work.

they stimulate the groin to produce more test naturally

also other ways to increase test naturally (WHILE U WAIT FOR THE DOC TO PRESCRIBE TEST TO U LEGALLY)...IS...

GET A DEEP-BURN SUN TAN

lay in a tub of very warm water/jacuzzi, for at least 15 minutes

but don't do the hot tub/jacuzzi thing if u have a bad heart cos it raises ur heart beat/blood pressure--i think

they both get the juices flowing in ur testes

infrared sauna is much safer then getting a deep burn sun tan. i live on the beach and A LOT of people around here end up with cancer and other serious problems from sun burns.

infrared sauna you get the benefits of the sun WITHOUT the harmful UV rays.

lots of gyms have them, i pay an extra 10 bucks a month to use it all i want at my gym

never heard that it boosts T, but it does for sure boost vitamins and boost immune system.. which could indirectly boost T from an overall healthy body .. vitamin D is important and people who live in the higher latitudes have certain problems including lower T levels than people who evolved near the equator. (Africa vs. northern Europe/Asia)

Post your full Testosterone bloodwork. If you are low then I will get the sponsors to fork over a whole PCT program for you, providing you agree to get bloodwork done every two weeks through the whole thing. You would need about 90-day PCT without using Stteroids or SARMS.

Let me know if you are down.

Dam wish I posted about my encounter with low test

Took the second round of Bloods today for the test panel...here's the result:

Total Test: 203 (was 223 two days ago)

LH: 1.7
FSH: 3.9
Prolactin: 3.9


I haven't done any research on these levels yet I just posted them here, so I'm not sure where these fall on the 'normal' curve. ALthough they seem on the low end off the top of my head.


what do these levels tell you guys?


Thanks bros

^^^ good news is your body is alive. your LH isn't at 0. the bad news is it still has work to do.. your FSH level is much better though. your LH should start creeping up over the next few weeks and your total T will follow. you are still in recovery mode.

did you run bloods in between your last 2 cycles? if so what were the results?

i can only assume you did not go into this last cycle suppressed, so i can make an educate guess that sticking with natural test boosters is your best option right now and giving it more time.

i bet 85% of guys on here if they ran bloods after any cycle will get scared at their results, people do not give themselves enough time to recover in between cycles (i am guilty of this too as is 99% of us on here), and people also do not stretch their pct's long enough to cover that recovery time they need. i call it running 'naked pct's'

Definitely wasn't suppressed going into Sarms cycle....well, at least not from any gear...I haven't touched an anabolic in over a decade. It is possible I had low test going in however, as looking back I can relate to some of the symptoms of having a low test.

I did not know that a sarms cycle could completely shut you down....that is an eye opener for me....I did run the 'mini' pct protocol that Dylan and others have recommended here. Maybe a stronger PCT is needed for Sarms - or, maybe I have something else going on here.....I haven't heard back from the doc yet, so we'll see what he has to say.

Thanks

Wow thanks for the offer bro - PM sent

you aren't shut down at all. if your LH was at 0 you would be shut down.

you still do not understand what I am saying. your LH doesn't go from 0 to 5 overnight... its a process and takes time.. the bottom line in plain english is you haven't given yourself enough time to recover. take BRR's offer to run a natural PCT from here and you will feel much better. just don't touch anything suppressive until your get fully recovered....

the doc isn't gonna tell you anything that i would consider good advice, unless he himself is an experienced cycler of steroids.. docs just don't know this stuff and i doubt he has ever heard of SARMS
