Is HRT for life bad?

In my opinion, the time consuming argument isn't really an argument. I take two shots of testosterone and two shots of HCG a week. I'd say it takes a grand total of two and a half minutes of my time a week. Worst case scenario maybe three and a half minutes. And yep, you have to have blood testing; walk into a lab a few times a year, 5-10min tops for a visit and leave. See the doctor 1-2 times a year; if things are going well there's really all you need. The doctor visit is the most time consuming part but it's not something that's a regular part of your daily life and there is no person alive that doesn't have time for a doctors visit. If you don't, you have such poor time management skills that low testosterone is the least of your worries.

The guy that said he could have made the gains without steroids but slower; maybe, I'm sure that applies to plenty of people but it does not apply to most who wish to be over 200lbs and lean. Of course lean is a relative term.

Long and short, TRT is not a big deal although plenty stress over it far more than they should and make it a big deal. Should you purposely cause yourself to need TRT? Of course not, but if you're going to use steroids you should assume you'll need TRT. Is that bad? In my opinion most men will greatly benefit from TRT at some point in their life; the steroid user will simply need it sooner than the non-steroid user.

Interesting take... I guess you can't realistically think that one is going to take steroids for years and just come off like it never happened.

So as a general consensus, it seems to be that TRT > Low T by far...but Natural T (on the higher end of the scale) > TRT in the long run.
