I had to start TRT at the age of 28, after 13 years of training natural. The way I look at it, this is no different for me than someone who gets diagnosed hypothyroid and has to take synthroid for the rest of their life. If I tell someone that I have to take test year around..., all of the sudden I am a "roid head" and I am "into doing drugs". Never mind the fact that I have a valid prescription due to a diagnosed medical condition. It is fucking bullshit. And that is what I am ashamed of. I am ashamed that I live in a society that is so narrow-minded, that I am forced to be a hypocrite and lie when someone asks me if I have ever "taken anything". These are the same people that go out and get wasted every weekend and then get behind the wheel of a car and put other peoples lives at risk. But that's "normal" and isn't a big deal right?
Fuck all normal people. They are all uneducated on these matters, and it is impossible to educate them because the media has convinced them they are right. Bodybuilders will ALWAYS be outcasts and treated as a cult. This goes for natural bodybuilders as well. The reason? JEALOUSY!
