TRT in the future for me?

[Grymreefer]

Sorry I seem to just be blowing up every section of the forum tonight, but it is the only time my brain is ever active. I have read that varicoceles have been known to lower testosterone production and during my puberty I had on two different occasions laproscopic varicocelectomy once at 17 then 2 years later at 19. As I have been reading more and more into various recreational activities that can also be taxing on the HPTA system especially when in development, I am starting to wonder if I should start looking for early signs of low test? I read a brief stint about something in Marcus300 diary about how horrible and debilitating low testosterone is.
I did use AAS once and I used a prohormone before discovering this board and further educating myself. All my bloods have been fine since then, but like I have learned from reading various posts on this board and peoples nightmares they have brought upon themselves..just because a blood panel comes back fine doesn't exactly mean everything is in harmony in your body.

Does anyone recommend any specific type of blood work?

I already get my SGOT and SGPT checked every 3 months along with bilirubin.

Check the first panel listed in the Finding A Doc Sticky at the top of this forum. Covers about all you would need. Get it once a year as part of a physical.

Thank you for taking your time to respond. Honestly becoming a member of this site has scared the shit out of me and what I may have already done. I wish I would have listened, but you have a quote about my generation being about instant gratification and I couldn't agree with you more.

No worries. We all live and learn. Stick around here, read-learn-contribute and pay it forward.

Really I don't care about the AAS anymore. I just wanna know your secrets to those gnarly calves your possess. That picture that was your avi just blew my mind.....

[kelkel]

Appreciate the compliment but there's no secrets. I wasn't born with them. Just time, effort and determination. Prioritize weak point until they're not anymore. Not many people can honestly say they do that with calves. Best tip, train them first on leg day. Everyone trains them last so they get the short end of effort and energy. Then guys wonder why they're not bigger.

Since I have joined and read through almost 200 pages of Marcus' Diary I have set aside a day solely for calves and a day solely for abs. I just keep getting sick on a nonstop basis for the last year or so and can't seem to keep weight on at all. I do have to say you guys should be compensated in some way for all the information and help you give out, but I guess its probably gratifying just to help in general.

If your getting sick all the time maybe it really is time for a physical and full blood work. When it comes to keeping weight on it really is challenging to continually eat the amount of food necessary to gain and subsequently maintain LBM. Just gotta do it.
