every morning, i hear sports radio advertisements about Low T and how it's real and could affect your every day life from sexual activities to workouts and such.

so...anyone ever taken the Low T test and subsequently got more T later on?

here in Houston, Lance Z on 790 was really pushing the ad this morning.

It is. I think I'm going to get my levels checked.

Yes, but on TD, it's called "beta".

I went ahead and had it added to my physical I'm taking on Wednesday. Don't expect any issues, but why not?

I was in a GNC one time and a guy, no older than 35, walks up to the checkout counter while I'm checking out and asks the GNC guy what he can do for boosting his testosterone. He says he's technically a woman in terms of his testosterone level. And he needs some help with that. I just thought it was very awkward. Hope he got what he needed.

Certainly YES.

And men today have measurably lower levels than Americans just 50yrs ago.

If you are truly low, don't go on replacement therapy right away. Try dietary/lifestyle changes first, so you don't have to stay on that shite forever.

FYI, body fat turns test to estrogen via aromatase. So fat loss should be goal #1 for any low T guys.

If you get tested, you MUST get tested for Total T, Free T, and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin in order to know what is really going on.

It is, but probably something that occurs with natural aging anyway. Young people shouldn't have to worry about this for the most part. I think this is just a way to push the envelope towards a legal method for the steroid effect.

One day you may find yourself backing away from a fumble and letting the real men go after it.
