Great video guys! Very interesting topic I actually wanted to ask about but this more than answered that (y)

this is super interesting. My doctor tested my test levels they came back pretty normal. They sent me to an rheumatologist and endocrinologist they ended up putting it down by inability to build much muscle was down to the fact that one of medications (Laxatives) preventing my body holding onto water and also causing sleep issues along with the damage to my Gi tract as (idopathic constipation and gastoparesis). Keep up the great work love it

Individual variability in responsiveness to different test levels is a good point people often overlook

+Jordan Feigenbaum Hi, I'm a month and a half into Starting Strength and I'm just curious, I have two 1.25 pound fractional plates, would it be beneficial to go up by 2.5 lbs on squats each time instead of 5 lbs in any way (i.e. delaying stalling and extending linear progression)?

I was under the impression (via coursework and study in biology) it was the presence of androgen, not testosterone, that signaled the change to male in himan fetuses. Essentially that androgen is the true 'male' hormone, and similarly progesterone not estrogen is the 'female' hormone.

Other than trans men, how often do people go on TRT who aren't trying to enhance performance? And in a sense, don't give a shit about long term health? I sort of figured most patients and doctors involved in TRT know the deal. Do you guys think the majority of the TRT clinics believe they're doing the best thing for the health of their patients? Or would they more accurately be described as legalized drug dealers? Not that there's anything wrong with that! As an aside: congratulations California, you are now on par with D.C.

Frankly, I doubt if my health coverage (not healthcare) insurance would help pay for it so the entire topic is moot.

Marco Notarnicola did you watch the podcast? If you did watch it again, and if they say concepts and words that are hard to understand, then do some googling because they covered your question very thoroughly. In short, An MD can’t say that a certain number is bad or not in absence of other signs and symptoms, and a more comprehensive work-up. The MD needs to rule out other diagnoses that could be causing a lower T level and associated symptoms like mood disorders since the presentation of low T is just like many other issues that are more common. Also, the range is so wide because the sensitivity of your cells to T could be very good, or very poor. For example, a T level of 300-400 for a person with high sensitivity could be normal because the body utilizes the T more efficiently that a person with a level of 1200 and low sensitivity. The body is producing more T in this second person because the cells need more of it to do the same job as the guy with 3-400. Finally, they said one number doesn’t really mean anything, and a second test with other labs needs to be performed.

Just down the sidewalk from my dental office is a brand new storefront, name on the sign: LowT Station or some such nonsense. I just shook my head as I drove past. Poor guys walking in there need some more nuanced information. One suggestion: Jordan: PLEASE use the same mic set up for the entire show that you used for the GainzzRx promo. The sound on that break was great, otherwise, it's hard to understand you Other than that, I LOVE your stuff. Thanks for the info.

Will Wyatt yeah levels are important, especially when listening in the car. the dramatic difference in volume and quality makes it a chore to manage volume in the car.

Your intro looks satirical.

Would a person's natural testosterone production always come back after TRT? In the 3 months they're off how would you advise they train / eat? It sounds like they'd lose a lot of muscle. There's so much I don't know about this hormone. The idea of messing with it scares the hell out of me.

@grantdumas4076

6 жыл бұрын

I highly doubt they would lose much if any muscle as TRT is different than doing a steroid cycle. A person on test would normally be prescribed 100 to 200 mg of test per week were as steroid cycle is much higher. 500 to 1 gram of test per week. Test is not going to help you gain that much more muscle. If you stopped taking it you will probably just go back to your pre. TRT levels. That's what happend to me. I was on TRT then went off when my wife and I were trying for a baby. My test levels just went back to their baseline levels. Everyone is different though.

I just read up on the effects of having too high a testosterone level. I had a chuckle: Examples of drawbacks or disadvantages of men having higher than average testosterone levels include the following: Men tend to consume more alcoholic beverages. Men are more likely to smoke. Men are more likely to get injured. According to some researchers, the higher the testosterone level, the more likely men are to participate in risk-taking behavior (sexual, injury risk, and even criminal activity). Sounds like men with higher test levels are drunken sociopaths.

latpe it sounds like you are getting a proper work-up, so I would ask the physician that is going to be prescribing the medication any questions you have. Especially since every patient could be different in how they respond to treatment (diff medical/surgical history, symptoms, etc). The doc you are seeing has all of the knowledge about your particular case, but I would assume that once you start treatment the symptoms you are experiencing will improve over time. Also, it sounds like the B.B. Medicine Duo will be going over how they manage the different types of hypogonadism in part two.

While this is old and I understand the information, I feel like you are completely missing the point. People don't seek trt because they really care about their actual testosterone level, they seek trt because they're dissatisfied with their performance at the gym and their results/lack of results. This is the disconnect between the clinical world and the performance world. I'm not sure what my T level is but I know after 3 solid years at the gym, 3-5 days a week, with several programs, I'm not happy with the lack of results from my hard work

TRIGGERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great, now instead of worrying about having low T I'm worried about having HIV and cancer. :(

Feigenbaum, for an old person would TRT improve mental function? Say you have person in the 55-65 age range whose IQ falls two standard deviations above average (130+). That person has been experiencing forgetfulness and generally reduced mental ability. Say the person is physically active, but does not strength train. In this case would TRT be a good option to retain mental function?
