G'day UGBB,
27 year old, 7 years strength and hypertrophy training natural, cert 4 in fitness, 180cm's and 85kgs.
over the last 2 years i have had a low libido but didn't think much of it.
My training progression has slowed right down in last 12 months. I tend to drop strength and muscle when cutting and put on fat easily when eating in a surplus even though i am maintaining a high protein diet (220g + daily), training hard and getting 7 to 9 hours sleep every night.
I follow a reasonably strict diet, sleep and training regime. Resistance training 4-5 times a week focusing on progressive overload and some active cardio here and there.
I have recently decided to undertake my first AAS cycle. I will be running Test E and Var. i have good support through colleagues in regards to managing my cycle.
Last week i went and got my bloods done. My test came in at a pretty average 13.5 nmol/l (388 ng/dl). This is the bottom end of the scale.
I am booked in for a consult with a mens health specialist who i am hoping will help me with a way forward. Sounds like TRT could be an option.
Looking to hear from others regarding similar situations. What was the outcome from your doctor? is 13.5 considered pretty low in general for a 27 y/o or nothing to be alarmed about?
Really looking forward to getting into my first cycle and hearing from others and sharing knowledge on this page.
Cheers.
