TRT in MMA

[jomamma007]

HMM well Dan Henderson never got busted for using AAS, plus he's what 42 years old. That alone warrants low test, and he didn't even use it a few fights ago, got off and said he felt no different and he looked the same.

Vitor on the other hands is destroying people and his physique has changed tremendously. He did get busted for AAS back in the day.

Pretty much if you're almost 40 and have low test because of your age, you shouldn't be competing at the pro level anymore. And if you're in your 20's your low test is probably because of previous steroid usage so you shouldn't be able to use trt now in competition.

Also you say you'll still be reaping the benefits of training and a higher level even when at a lower level. I don't really believe that's true. Skip your injections for 2 weeks and see where your strength and condition goes.

I think it's overrated but that's just my opinion. If you give it to a 40 year old they will still not be where they were in their 20's conditioning wise. And if you give it to a 20 year old, well his levels should be there in the first place.

Barry Bonds never tested positive for PEDs either. Doesn't mean he didn't use.

Again, I am a huge Hendo fan, I'd be shocked if he never used them throughout his wrestling career then his MMA career. Not to mention, he fought many years in Pride where, not only did they NOT test for PEDs, they actually wrote it in their contracts they wouldn't test for PEDs.

And you're right, miss your shots for 2 weeks and you fee like crap (maybe) but, until you do, you still reap the benefits of the training. Not to mention, do your shot, train your ass off, then don't do your shot for a week before the test. You'll be in range by then.

You do realize test is a steroid right? If you're in your 40s, do test and train properly. You'll absolutely be able to compete better with the younger guys. That's been proven time and again. I'm 44 and I can assure you, I'm able to do things I haven't been able to do since I was in my early 30s (at least). And I've only been on it for about 3 months now. I also don't train at the same level as these guys.

It absolutely gives you an advantage.
