Will I put muscle on?

Ooooooooold thread!!!!!

But a good one! I'm at 100mg per week and I'm hoping to put on a but of muscle as well. I'm lean to begin with for the most part. My low t has slowed down my muscle growth. I need to look more manly with the physique. I have a very athletic build but want to fill out some more.

just my two cents... Im not a hardcore bb like some seem to be on here(tool lazy!) ..just a 43 yo weekend warrior / gym rat. In about 5 months of taking TRT , ive gained about 23lbs of muscle/ non body fat (here's a big fat middle finger to you Joe Weider lol) . Dont have the exact numbers in front of me but i was probably around 195 at 16% bodyfat... last i checked i was 210 lbs at 11%. (for me thats pretty lean).... no i dont look like schwarzenegger in his prime but im a helluva lot bigger than i ever have been or ever thought i would be. honestly i dont care if i get any bigger muscle wise... just want to be leaner. Ive worn XL shirts forever... now, they are very tight in the arms and across the shoulders. Maybe im weird but it just feels damn good to see such results.

[my workout fwiw : hitting gym 4 days a week, good but far from perfect diet, and doing insanity for cardio 5 -6 x week]

to me TRT has been miraculous, from a gym standpoint anyway. I would say i feel like im 18 again gym wise but, that would be just wrong, cuz i think i was about 150lbs soaking wet when i finished high school. Thank you low T center and TRT therapy!!!!

That is awesome! I know results aren't "typical" as they say, but it's motivational to hear that someone had some great side effects from getting the testosterone under control! What's your protocol?

test cyp injections q10 days 200mg
hcg 500 units 2 x week (MD gave me option to take it 3 times a week, still experimenting to see whats optimal)

fortunately for me as well my E2 is pretty low (20 ish) and so is my SHBG levels (my total t was like 687 last time ,free t was 22, which i think is a lil high actually).

oh one thing to add... im not sure what constitute big time bodybuilding doses.. id love to know that.. i think ive seen a few guys on here saying they take like 200mg like very other day. Again im not sure about that, but wow that seems crazy high..

i will say that on my test injection day , day +1 , maybe day +2 i do get some mild / dull headaches . not bad ones just sorta know its there. Never really had them before so i attribute to the T somehow. sometimes have restless sleep with heavy workouts too that i didnt have before. (just going for total disclosure here)
