Hello! Okay well.. I have been taking Testosterone for about two days now (I always used to take it intermittently) and .. it has made a HUGE difference in what I am able to achieve! Both energy-wise, and workout wise. I have 85 of my 100 push-ups done already, one 50-count, and it's not even 7 in the morning. So between 5 and 7, I've done 85 pushups. Arms feel a little sore, but, so what, no pain no gain.



Maybe I had Low T?


I'm wondering if what I am experiencing is unique, or.

How are you taking T? In what form? Via some over-the-counter supplement or through a licensed physician?

im guessing its mental. what form of test are you taking? i believe more commonly it is a longer acting version that doesnt have immediate results. i believe athletes and people who need to pass drug tests use a test suspension version which acts immediately but i still dont think it would cause much improvement in 2 days.

Not every doctor knows how to prescribe testosterone. Many older doctors still believe the old teachings about it being dangerous which has been debunked. Yes, it's dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. You need blood tests. An endocrinologist or an anti aging specialist doctor knows which tests and how to balance all of your hormones.

Fat men have estrogen dominance. That is the major female hormone and why there are man boobs.

Life Extension website has a lot of useful info on hormone replacement.

Let's hope the OP isn't self medicating based on what he read from some online forum or websites and a side trip to Tijuana/Thailand.

These are my questions too! I hope you were told that once you start supplementing, your body cuts back or stops it's own production!

Two days? You noticed all that, in just two days? Or was that a typo?

Right. OP, you're supposed to take it intermittently: one day off of it, every 3 days, or so. And you should be monitored (via blood tests), to make sure you don't get too much in your system.

All this in 2 days? Completely mental/placebo. Do you honestly think you've added muscle in TWO days? Could be a sugar pill you're taking for all you know.
