Is exogenous testosterone worth it?

[deltoidd]

If past puberty and aiming to maximize physique without posing a risk to facial attractiveness, would it be logical to hop on test or any other sorts of androgens/GH? Are the sides of test (hair loss, aging, etc) truly able to be minimized with DHT blockers or other kinds of pharmaceuticals? Been lifting naturally for quite some time now and I am very satisfied with where my physique is currently at, but am open to taking something to go even further if it makes sense to. I'm 19 so I am in the prime of my natural test production

no shit (mark as solution)

Yes take androgens but make sure you know what you're doing, read studies, watch youtubers like more plates more dates.

[InHonourOfChad]

look if he really wanted to use them, he would sit down for a few hours read take notes and plan, asking a question without nuance her really wont help anyone

i researched for months before i ever took anything

Just looking for personal anecdotes and opinions from others who are more knowledgeable than I am on this topic, I have a good basic understanding of how they work, I would like to know your reasoning to why it wouldn't be worth it for me personally and is that the same answer for most?

Are you worried about restoration of natural test production post cycle? The main reason I've put a hold on it is solely for that reason, if I don't produce enough/as much T naturally anymore was the cycle really even worth it? I wouldn't mind cruising on TRT for life but I want kids so fertility is the only concern I have with that

a good pct with hcg and hmg should do the job

ngl exogenous testo is kinda a rabbit hole bro ppl get good results but its def not a simple softmax fix imo. ur young tho focus on the basics first like sleep diet and gym that shit lifefuel. if ur gonna go that route def do ur research and cycle safely srs. maybe look into pct too.
