Why are there so many TRT threads on bodybuilding forums?

Thanks for all the responses! I am mostly concerned because I had my test levels taken about 6 months ago and it was at 473. I have never cycled and am worried that since I am already low, I may have a tough time bouncing back or may never return to that baseline. I am only 25 and don't even want to think about TRT or any lifetime commitment resulting from a test cycle.

With already being in the low range I would really consider staying natural for a bit longer. It shows you are already having trouble producing naturally. No reason to potentially make it worse.

Do you think my natural levels are still rising even at age 25?

I doubt your natural levels are still rising. They normally drop with age. Unless you used something that dropped your levels and your body is still recovering. Have you ever used OTC test boosters or pro hormones?

Now that I think about it, last year around this time I ran 5 weeks of 3AD along with MassFX, a test booster. I used their Advanced PCT for the pct but honestly, I thought it was all garbage. I didn't notice any effects on, during the pct or off. I did gain some weight, but it was mostly fat and 3AD is supposed to be taken with a high fat meal. I kept all the weight and even gained a little more during the pct. I didn't feel any increase in libido, acne, hair loss or any abnormal strength/size. That blood sample was likely taken about 5 months after the pct ended.

I really wouldn't consider it a cycle, but I guess I've never done a real one so I don't know...
