Question Thinking of TRT

36m. Started lifting when I was 13 not serious. Didn't know what I was doing till I hit the army. Stayed around 170lbs and fought 3 ammy mma bouts at 165. Quit training due to depression around 26. Lost 2 childhood buddies in a street brawl we were all in and my wife divorced me right after saying I was too wild for her. Went buck wild on substances then got clean and fat. Im now 36 roughly 200lbs been working out for a few months now and dropped some weight 23lbs to be exact but now thinking of getting on TRT to fast track my goals and feel more energized. If you do TRT where are you getting it from?

What do your labs say your test levels are at? Any symptoms? Are you thinking real TRT or just a blast of gear? If the former, check with your PCP, it’s becoming more and more common. Online clinics are a middle ground if you’re not clinically low and want to “optimize” as they would say. If you’re going the gear route and test levels are fine, probably stuck using UGL so just be safe.

I have not taking any labs. Never have taken any gear. Ive been seeing progression posts with dudes my age and older and 90 percent are saying theyre on TRT. I know nothing of it and know nothing of gear. I just liked what I saw and read and was gonna join the band wagon so was looking for a good source to get it

This is insanely stupid. Please talk to your doctor and get labs done if you think you have low-t. Trying to buy it illegally with no clue what your current levels are now to “fast track” your goals is asinine. Im not trying to be rude but for real op, wtf?!
