I heard that it doesnt really matter if you are on the lower, middle or high end of natural reference range. You will only feel a big enough difference with "off the chart roided" levels. So i dont know if the risks and downsides of trt are worth to take it with average levels.
Average for his age range is 650
What do I do
Your T levels are fine, its only when you go below 300/have various symptoms of low T is when you should worry.
I was stressing about it but I guess I fucking HAVE to increase it now, I cant be happy knowing I'm hardly a man.
don't take too much niacin, especially if your intake of methyl donors is low
it's nonsense, don't listen to him
but you're abnormal
What should he do if he does? LDAR? Roiding?
Nah, I'm just an ectomorph, there are lots of other men who are in the same situation as me. A good example would be Gustaf Skarsgård (Floki in Vikings), who is the same height as me and is as skinny as I am even though he is 40 years old.
yeah maybe hop on trt. fuck having low test
I was taking the piss for reacts.
schizo rambling
It’s probably doable naturally, or at least you can get close to that. My T was once 400~ and after 2 years of lifestyle change it want up to 700-800.
Even everything is perfect why would you hop on anything before you do what you can naturally? Hormonal profile changes over time.
yeah good point

A few things: I wanted to get those checked but unfortunately there was ZERO labs near me that offered all of those things. I only actually went to the lab to check my liver and triglyceride levels because I've been taking accutane for about 3 months. They seem to be doing just fine. But I out of curiosity wanted to see my T levels as well, and it was only 550.
“Together, these reports suggest that isotretinoin therapy decreases total testosterone, prolactin, and DHT, while increasing free testosterone and DHEA. Although the mechanism of these changes is not well understood, we hypothesize that isotretinoin induces the separation of testosterone from sex hormone-binding globulin, thereby increasing free testosterone levels and inhibiting the transformation of testosterone to DHT.”
It's going to be along time before I can get an accurate reading of my testosterone levels then. I plan on low dosing accutane for at least 6 more months and then I would have to wait for my body to get back to normal (which is hard since accutane stays in your body and has lasting affects).“Together, these reports suggest that isotretinoin therapy decreases total testosterone, prolactin, and DHT, while increasing free testosterone and DHEA.

Good to hear your triglyceride count was low, niacin is working.
My 69 yo dad has 985ng/dL... (no trt and doesn’t even workout)
