Having a debate with about TRT

[Times Roman]

Wow. Did not know that. Interesting! I bet they push the edge of the envelope!

imho, if you allow TRT, then everyone will go on and push the envelope. Then you can let levels fall abit before your testing and you are G2G

That makes sense but doesn’t seem fair. If someone has naturally low levels and TRT helps them to have normal levels they should still be allowed to compete. It’s not like the therapy is giving them an advantage over their competition. Therapy is allowing them to have all the same tools as their competition.

no one said it had to be fair, just a level playing field. Is it really fair, that someone receives a genetic/hormonal gift, and can run faster than hell, yet no matter how much I train, I can never even get close to a Michael Vick in the 440? And besides, what is "fair" mean exactly?? Is it really fair that a transgendered individual can compete against women in the 440, and whip all their asses? Is it really fair that a post op tranny can get in the ring and kick the shit out of other women? Where do we draw the line?

if you have genetic/hormonal shortcomings, then either play the cards you were dealt in the "natty arena", or go elsewhere and compete where you don't have to be natty.

Hormonal augmentation is a slippery slope. And regardless of what others say, those on TRT push the envelope and want an optimal, not normal T level. If you allow athletes to begin doing this, using team doctors, then it's a no brainer that they WILL get an optimal level, and during the offseason, even more.

I don't buy anyone telling me here that they are on TRT and want a "normal" T level for their age group. It's pointless, and defies what our goals are.

Yeah you are right that if we allowed people with low levels to get Tx than people who didn’t have low levels would be maxing theirs out using TRT.

I don't buy anyone telling me here that they are on TRT and want a "normal" T level for their age group.

Isnt normalizing the levels of test the original goal of TRT? I know that’s not why most individuals seek TRT. Most seek TRT in order to get legal AAS.
