    Low T before gear, no worry about shutting down HPTA permanantly?

    Hey guys, I had borderline low test before I ever touched anything. I would like to run long cycles, blasting and cruising. Since I had low test to begin with, does this mean that I don't have to worry about being permanantly shutdown?

    Im not sure if the longterm "Shutdown" people refer to when cycling too long is just concerning the natural test production.

    Are there any other concerns of long term loss or damage from blasting/cruising for long periods? Like a year?
    I feel like I haven't worded this right, and I sound like a dumbass, because we all know there are health risks, but hopefully you guys will understand my gibberish. Thanks

    What are your stats?
    Do you know the cause of your low T?
    If legitimately low you should explore TRT and what it can do for you first. Then blast.
    Whenever you're on test your shutdown, be it TRT or a cycle.

    You have low T, which means you have some testicular function. Therefore yes you will run the same risks of permanent shutdown as anyone.

    Get your low T in check first with a doc. When you come off cycle, and you restore your old LOW T levels, guess what will happen to your gains!

    Right, but dont Drs check your blood levels, so theyll only give me enough test to be around normal? I want super high test.
    Also, if they do think youre blasting, is there much chance theyll say/do anything about it?
    Thanks guys

    TRT plus cycling is a bit different situation than self -medicated blasting and cruising.

    What people are telling you is if you have a real testosterone problem, then go on TRT... and once you are stable think about cycling.

    If you just want to blast and cruise without a prescription, which I think is what you are asking about initially, then yes you will set yourself up for a tough recovery if you try and come off in a year.

    Of course there are risks such as permanent shutdown. No one can give you a realistic idea of what the percent risk is for shutdown. But typically the longer you stay on, the harder time you will have trying to recover. Honestly, if you were ready to blast and cruise you would already know this stuff. Just sayin', be careful.

    yes you can still shutdown the little t you have.

    **** it then. I guess for the results I want, with my genetics and circumstances, I really have to take that risk and make that sacrifice. I'm sure its time to get flamed here, but oh well. "My diet sucks, I suck at lifting weights, blah blah ****ing blah"

    I don't know if your diet sucks, or if you suck at lifting weights. I do know that your attitude sucks, and wonder why people like you come here looking for advice from knowledgeable and helpful bros. who know as much about steroids and how they affect the body as your doctor, and perhaps more, when you're clearly just looking to support the ridiculous thought you already have in your head.

    Do what you like, everyone will still be here in a year to provide input on your issues with limp noodle dick, big ol' titties, and chronic fatigue.

    Get your low T checked out first. If you go on TRT the doc usually sees you every 6-8 months, plenty of time to blast between appointments.
