I’m getting the procedure done this week, excited about the potential benefits. Mainly having more energy and sleeping better at night. But I do lift weights 3-4 days a week, just curious if anyone saw an increase in lean mass that’s done the hormone replacement.....or any other positive benefits as well

Is that where they implant something that slowly releases T over time?

I've never used them, but if you're low in testosterone, coming up to normal levels should (in conjunction with training) increase muscle.

The caveat is that real TRT isn't designed to be like the TRT athletes claim when they get busted. Essentially, you should have better capacity to build mass, but not what people associate with steroids.

Even if you optimize testosterone for muscle growth for age, there are other parts of the equation that degrade over time, so you won't be 22-25 years old in terms of full muscle potential.

I've gotten them several times over the last couple of years. More energy, strength does increase and body fat decreases some. Haven't had them in over a year and will probably be getting them again soon.

Have to be careful working out afterwards, I recommend taking a week off. Especially if it is any kind of lift that makes you use your muscles down there. They can come out. Not all but some.

Why not just take a small dose of Clomid?

I’ve had pellets inserted several times over many years. You’re probably getting testopel. Eight pellets will deliver a conservative dose. My personal experience with 8-9 pellets is they work well for a month or two then wear off quickly. Then you don’t feel as good until you can get them again. Eight pellets would get me to 650-700. You need to get blood work about a month after the procedure to check your levels. Once the T builds up in your system after a week or so, you can climb walls with your penis. The benefit of pellets is you don’t have to dose daily or weekly. In my opinion and experience, six months between pellets insertion is too long. For me 3 to 4 months was better. The procedure is quick and easy. If this is your first time, there will be soreness in the Insertion area. The more times you get them, the easier it gets. I quit getting pellets when my health insurance stopped covering them. I’ve also been on injections and gel. Injections are better for regulating the dose. Bi-weekly shots work great for me. I thought I would hate the gel, but I loved it. A downside to the gel is it’s very expensive for a relatively small supply, and insurance won’t cover it, at least mine won’t. More directly to your question, it will help with results from workouts and recovery, but the dose is very conservative and won’t be a game changer.

ive been taking them for about 2 years, injection every 6 months. you will be sore for a few days, and avoid squating ect for about 5 days.
for the person that had them pop out - did you allow the area to heal before squatting etc?
