Low test results question

**ENraged** · 04-22-2007, 07:23 PM

OK so i had blood work done a couple of weeks ago just out of curiosity as i am overweight and beginning a weight lifting program and Muay Thai training.

I have no baseline to compare to but my result was test only 184.
Now my question is as i am 31 almost 32 and need to drop at least 75 pounds should i hold off on having him prescribe me anything?
my BP was fine sugar test came back good but my cholesterol was borderline.
I do know how to diet and i am not going to make excuses I simply have been screwing up for a long time.
hope that made sense i am very tired and going to bed now.
Thanks in advance for any opinions

Not sure about the level but test will definitely help in conjunction with a good diet. Preserves muscle while your loosing weight. I'm 39 and lost 50 pounds in 6 months with test, gh, good diet and cardio/lifting program.

Your levels are very low for a 31 year old. I think you should see someone now. Although I suspect your test levels will improve as you lose weight and improve your fitness. You should have asked this question in the HRT section. There are a few knowledgable guys that answer questions on this stuff.

you r 75 pounds overweight - no wonder your test levels r low!

get ur ass up and start exercising again! start with cardio first thing in the morning. and get your diet in check! you dont need any meds right now, only a clear objective and some self respect.

the range for normal Test is pretty wide but the 175 is pretty low. "Normal" for medical purposes starts at 200 but most guy start around 300 on up. Higher doesn't mean better though. Normal for me is around 700 and my sex drive is no better than anyone elses (I'm 37).
