    Can low test levels actually reduce muscle already gained?

    If someone is below their supposed genetic potential and has low test levels. Can this actually reduce lean muscle over time or would it just hinder possible future gains?

    Good question. Thinking back to when I was walking around with low levels (unknown at the time) I still could maintain some size, but I definitely remember it affecting strength, gains & just the overall ability to excel at the gym. Looking back, a lot of these tribulations started creeping into daily life as well...

    Nope, don't agree with this one bit. I'm stronger now than I've ever been. Only major difference is recovery & the need to train wisely I'd say. A lot of people find that you get stronger with age. Takes a lot of dedication in the gym though...

    Not many people really meet their genetic potential. Fewer still exceed it. Don't accept getting older. Our parents generation did not have the ability to supplement with testosterone . They just had to suffer the debilitating consequences which we all know too well. Fight it brothers!
