Im 21, and have been on TRT since October and I would never go back. Ive never felt this good in my life and I honestly believe that I had low T my whole life. Was always active and ate healthier than my friends, but was very overweight with moobs.

I got tested last August when I was 20 and my levels were low 400s, 10 free test(scale 9-25), felt HORRIBLE, borderline depressed and couldnt get a boner to save my life. Now I feel great, loving life, and sex coundnt be any better!

Yes sometimes I think about the long term use because Ill be on the rest of my life, but I dont drink or smoke(hard to believe when im 21 but trust me, Im 100% against both, didnt even drink on my 21st bday...), I eat extremely healthy, I take my necessary vitimans, liver sups etc, and i exercise 6 days a week.

Like someone above me said, Id rather live a full, healthy life til im 70 feeling good all the way than live to 80-90 but be a fat miserable slob my whole life....

Protocol:
200mg cyp per week split into 2 doses
250iu hcg 2x a week
25mg exemestane ED

Austinite, don't take it the wrong way, but Im not weak minded. my whole life I have been very active whether I was playing soccer,racing motocross or bmx growing up, yet I still weighed 202 when i was 13 years old at 5 feet 1 inch tall...never ate more than all my skinny friends either...even they realize that.

Started training when I was 14 and have been consistent,sometimes obsessive with training ever since. I love it. I love running too. I look forward to training.

Then theres diet. The first few years i started training my diet wasnt awesome but it has gotten better and better to the point where i have been gluten and dairy free for almost 3 years, not because its a fad, but because i truly believe its better for u not to eat that crap. i break out with acne and feel like crap when i do eat it. I also have not had a soda since I was 14 years old.

Over the last few years I have given everything I had to lose weight, counting calories, going to bed hungry, high protein/low carb and vice versa. The best Ive ever been was 175llb at 5 foot 9inches but was just skinny fat and felt weak and soft.

Now 4 months into trt Im stronger than ive ever been, feel the best I ever have, have more muscle than ever tbefore, eat more than i ever have before (still "clean") yet Im leaner than ive been in my life.

I truly believe that low t is what kept me from ever truly leaning out the way a young male should. I probably shouldnt have said "fat miserable slob"... bad choice of wording on my part.

kelkel, still dont know. Is it possible thats the way i was born? i mean i got gyno in puberty and was never a "raging horny teenager"...

[kelkel]

John, gyno in puberty happens to many guys. Some grow out of it, some don't. When it comes to 21yrs old and TRT my questions are:

1. Any BW you can post from just before TRT?
2. What did the doc diagnose as the cause for your low T? Or was it simply your T is low, let's replace it without finding the causative factor?
3. Was an MRI obtained to rule out pathologies? Varicoceles?
4. Any testical injuries or head trauma as a child or growing up?

What are your current Total and Free T numbers look like on 200mg per week?

[johnk271]

1. i just moved recently so digging up my bloodwork would be really hard to do right now unfortunately
2. no cause, maybe the way i was born?
3. no unfortunately not but when funds are available i might push a doc to run more tests
4. possibly, i raced motocross and bmx from age 4-18 and have had many many crashes. Head injuries(all minor enough that i didnt go to hospital or urgent care) and blows to the balls that have made me throw up.

[johnk271]

My total T after my 6 week blood work was 900something and i didnt ask for free T because honestly it slipped my mind. From now on I am going to ask for a printed copy of all my blood work

[kelkel]

1. i just moved recently so digging up my bloodwork would be really hard to do right now unfortunately
Dig it up when you can
2. no cause, maybe the way i was born?
You're not just born with it. You can be born with an issue causing it.
3. no unfortunately not but when funds are available i might push a doc to run more tests
You should. TRT is a great thing but it's even greater to be normal, especially at your age.
4. possibly, i raced motocross and bmx from age 4-18 and have had many many crashes. Head injuries(all minor enough that i didnt go to hospital or urgent care) and blows to the balls that have made me throw up.

It could play into it.

Low T is caused by so many things and most doc's are simply not trained in hormones. Which leads to the testosterone Band Aid instead of finding the issue.

[FRDave]

I also rode BMX (dirt jumping) growing up and still ride dirt bikes (all my life) and had many injuries to the head and my boys. I assume this was my reason for low T at an early age as my Dr. could not determine the cause.

I agree. Id love to be normal, but at the same time I feel better now than I have in my entire life, I know this may sound wrong to some, but I honestly don't think Id want to go back now....
