You say testosterone doesn't help burn fat....but?

How come a symptom of low test is fat gain? And that women have much more bodyfat% than men? Testosterone must have some action in metabolisation and fat storage or else you wouldn't pack more fat easily upon aging.

Exogenous testosterone will burn bodyfat and add LBM even in untrained individuals. The same as lots of other AAS.

Trained or not, doesnt usually matter.

^^^^ this is true

Lets not confuse it tho with using 500mg's test with a mediocre diet and no cardio and still having abs.....

I think the important distinction is that people who are overweight should not depend on steroids for losing fat. I see a lot of guys who are 25%bf thinking they need steroids to cut, and the truth is if they can't get below 25% without steroids they are likely doing something wrong.

you can lose small amounts with extra test in your system but lets be honest... the guys sporting 6 packs didnt get there pinning test, they have the dedication, diet and training to make it happen... the extra muscle put on while on test is what burns a lot of the fat as well and you dont build muscle watchin the tv from the lazyboy no matter how much you inject.

does the test actually "burn" fat?

or is it a calorie partioning effect?

**CanYouDigIt** · 07-20-2010, 08:42 PM

you can take it this way, by injecting test, it causes your muscle to recover/grow, which in return needs more calories/proteins.

but I don't think test leads to direct impact on losing weight, tbh it leads to adding, might take some unwanted weight do to the fact that the new muscle mass that you have is burning way more calories then before.
