Low test for age..Contemplating Cycle

[Mr. Giggles]

-22 years old
-6'0 200lbs
-5 years training
-Plan on competing NPC


Like the thread states, I found out I have low testosterone levels for my age, but not uncommon for a man. 250-750ng/dl...Now due to the fact that I am 22, I cannot get any help from scripted medication, and even if i was 70 I most likely wouldn't either lolz... But honestly.. I think those levels are low for my age and which definetly hinders my gains compared to a natural who has 500-700...

I tested three times due to the flucuation of hormones on a daily basis and they came back..

Test 1: 350
Test 2: 399
Test 3: Low 300's

My question is whether or not it would be logical to start cycling at this point just to achieve growth like i want to see..

I guess that would be in the low range but not sure if it is low enough to be labeled DEFICIENT

Are you a hardgainer ? Ectomorph ?

6 foot 200lbs is pretty healthy for a male.

Unless you're a fat 200lbs..

-Deficient, no...I have enough to be classified as normal, but normal for 22.. No sir...

-I guess you could classify me as an ecto, but don't you think that hormones in my case would have a say in that..?

ur test levels look fine,, dont know why everyone who is young automatically thinks theyll be at the high end of the scale. Thats why there is a scale.

Nope not fat..I won't post pictures, but I'd consider my body type more consistent with bodybuilding.. I'm proud of what I've done naturally, but I believe I could do better if my hormones were in check...

that testing is flawed,, the sample size is pratically nothing,, and there saying 65yr olds are in there 500's for average. and 85yr olds are over 350 for average,< haa BS
