Your test levels will become low, IMO. You are probably in a catabolic state all of the time. Its absolutely terrible for you to stay that lean, if you really are that lean. I honestly noticed a growth of testicles after getting fatter (from very very lean to about 10%).
Try bromocriptine or Leptigen. They will supposedly help regulate your hormones when you are fairly lean.

That is extremely lean. I have read it is bad to go below 5% body fat for extended periods of time bc your cells start to destroy themselves. Also, I read an article in one of the recent Ironman magazines that said when on stage pro are anywhere from 5-7% body fat bc 5% of body fat is around the organs. It made me wonder what my real body fat % was.

Low bodyfat leads to low leptin. Low leptin leads to increased catabolic hormones like cortisol and less anabolic hormones like testosterone, probably due to lower levels of leutenizing hormone.cheeta said:
I'm kind of talking out of my ass, so I think you should ask Par Deus --- he could probably give you the specifics.
In my experience, low body fat leads to physical weakness and lack of muscular growth.
I know this man, my strength is pretty weak sauce right now. My muscle isnt all that big either. 5"11 170., come one now, i graduated elementary school years ago. Anyway, i cant help it i love running, i run for days and tahts why i cant gain shit. i know i know its either or.
