I am currently on testosterone replacement therapy, as after years of partying I inhibited the natural production of luteinizing hormone, and subsequently, my body's natural production of testosterone. However, upon starting testosterone replacement therapy, I noticed there wasn't something right. The general range to be considered within the normal range of testosterone, is generally a total testosterone of 270-1070 ng/dl. As one can tell at first glance, this is a very spread range. However, if someone, such as myself, tests to be at 300 ng/dl, which I have, doctors will refer to the chart, and claim you are within normal ranges, and do not need to be on TRT; although according to a 1996 study, 300 ng/dl of total testosterone, is what is considered normal for men ages 80-100 years old! This did not work for me. I was a shell of my former self at these levels. I had no energy, my recovery from any exercise was long and painful, I dealt with depression, apathy, lack of motivation, and had virtually no libido whatsoever.

Fortunately, I got a doctor to put me on TRT, however, they were comfortable with my levels being at mid 400's ng/dl. That is not normal for a 24 year old male who has been an athlete their entire life. After much consideration, I came to the conclusion that I would take charge of my testosterone therapy, and personally bring my levels up to an adequate range, and for my first three months bring my levels up to supra-physiological levels. Therefore, after much research, I stumbled upon [a website to buy testosterone cypionate]. I was very skeptical going is, as buying pharm grade gear online sounded too good to be true. Therefore, after much more research, I put my skepticism aside, and placed an order for two ten milliliter bottles. I ordered during the holidays, so my order took a while as they were so busy with other orders. And I must say, their customer service was beyond exceptional with helping me with my concerns. They were fast to respond, polite, and provided me with a specific details regarding my order and what they were dealing with on their end.

After approximately 3 weeks (generally the order time is shorter), I received my package. I was beyond impressed, the bottle, labels, and information pamphlet was very professional. I then began taking 250mg a week, 2 injections of 125 mg bi-weekly. Within the first week, I immediately noticed substantial effects. I am in school taking 5 classes, with two of my days consisting of 9 hours in class; every day, I end class fully alert, still seeping with motivation and mental acuity. I am capable of working out 4 days a week after class, which was impossible before given my poor recover. I am no longer suffering from depression, my libido is up, and I am living happily, and healthily without the constant dark cloud hovering over me prior to testosterone replacement therapy. Within the first week, I was deadlifting 375 pounds. Week 2, I was to 375X4. Week three, I was to 385X2. Week 4 I was deadlifting 385X4; and at this point, I was noticing substantial physical gains in appearance. I was full physically, I looked healthy and others noticed as well. I was again the confident person I had always was prior to my endocrine issue. Upon week 5 I was deadlifting 405X1 in the beginning of the week, and was doing 405X2 ending that week. Week 5 I was pulling 405X4. Week six, 425. Weeks 7 450, and week 8 I am up to 465.

Although I will mention that in the past I have been able to deadlift 525, so I have quite the muscle memory that aids in putting on strength and mass quickly, but none of this would have been possible had I not been able to supplement my testosterone replacement therapy. In the first month of this cycle, I was weighing approximately 175-180 lbs. Yet, now, I am 190lbs, having put on approximately 10lbs of lean mass. I will also note, that my strength has nearly doubled in all other areas of lifting.
