Old new guy !!

Hey guys been reading a lot of info here on the forum for awhile. I an needing some advice so I decided to join and try to get some answers to my questions. I am 54 years old and am in tip top shape for my age. Me and my daughter are National top ten BMX racers and we train 6 days a week HARD !!! I recently went to a low T center and have been receiving test injections for about 9 weeks now. They started out on a low dose protocol first blood sample I came in at 184 TT. after 1 month at 100 a week I went to 268 TT, they went to 130 a week and last blood draw was 409 TT. I just received my first injection of 150 and that will be the protocol for the next 3 weeks then another blood test. I have been feeling the side affects more than the benefits at this time, smaller testicles and low amount of sperm production. All of my other bloodwork is fine estrogen is ok. The doctor wrote me a prescription for HCG and it should be at my door shortly. where in this forum can I post questions about weather or not I should look into other hormone replacement options, HGH, or maybe Steroids ? Right now I don't seem to gain much from my workouts and my recovery is 3 to 4 days. I am not looking to hulk out I would like to reap more benefits from my workouts and add some muscle. I am 5' 11" tall and weigh about 180, body fat at about 10%. Thank you in advance.

Well if you are getting test injections; those are steroids . In fact that is the most commonly used steroid . The HCG will help with tesicular size. But, TRT is to simply bring your levels closer to when you were younger. They will not turn you into a hulk, no matter how hard you work out. Even if you take more test, it will not just turn you into a hulk. To change your physique you really need to feed your muscles protien and continue to eat to keep any gains. Steroids alone will not do as much as many people think. It seems you have the workouts down, which is great. Check out the diet section to learn how much you should be eating to get bigger and you have to determine what your goals are and then cater your routine towards that direction. Good luck!
