Worked out with a friend when he revoked his natty card for the first time. Watched him blow up like a balloon and once he got off he shot back down to reality. His lifts went up like crazy and dude was killin it in the gym srsly. After he got off tho it was extremely depressing for me to hear him always talking about gear and how he needs it but he’s just waiting for his trainer to let him know. When I worked out with him when he was off he couldn’t even finish the workouts sometimes. He’s back on again but haven’t trained with him in a while due to conflicting schedules.

They all seem like lifestyle choices to me.
Those of you who have an issue with someone choosing to do it a different way than you are the only real losers.
Imagine being in your 40’s and thinking the world should be fair.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

I'm amazed this is still open, but maybe theres hope for the misc yet
You know how women give you an answer that's half the real number when you ask them how many dicks they've had? Well that's the same with gym rats. TRT is 99% of the time a euphemism for small bicycle ride with added goodies
No one in this silly hobby is capable of telling the truth, which is fine but there are still retards who believe them

First would like to point out the obvious that not everybody training does so for absolute strength... I personally don't care how much I can push/pull on any given lift... I train for size , shape, and overall appearance as do many others...
Second, TRT is way more than just trying to put on muscle to give the natty's something to complain about every day (although it is quite amusing at times). If somebody legitimately has low testosterone it affects every facet of your life not just the ability to put on and retain LBM. I wont bother digging into the other aspects as they are easily obtained via Google.

TRT is just meant to keep your levels in normal range that most 20 year olds have naturally.
If your excuse is their on TRT for why they look better than you you’re stupid as f*ck and have no idea how lifting/physiques work anyway so enjoy your life of being a beta.

Are people on TRT natty or not? I don't really have a strong opinion on it either way but what I do know is that eating a couple of king size candy bars before you take the test will significantly drop your levels so that they can appear lower than they actually are. MDs aren't God and there is always a way to game any system especially when drugs, money or sex is involved

Natty in the sense the lifting world uses to define someone outside of a natural range? Then yeah they fall in the natty category.
TRT users (done properly) have no advantage over someone who has naturally high/normal test levels
They’re in a deficiency otherwise. This is like complaining diabetics aren’t natural because they need insulin.

You can spend hours on end each week obsessing over your optimal workout plan that puts on the optimal amount of strength/size. For an entire lifetime. But to what end? The guy that goes enhanced can achieve their goals in a 1/4 of the time if not faster. You can literally spend 30 years chasing a dream/goal and never achieve it as a natty. Whereas with the same hard work, dedication and a little supplementation you achieve that goal in 3-5 years and easily maintain it for the following 25 years.
At the end of the day its a personal choice. Some people choose to achieve their goal and life the life they want and are willing to do what's necessary to do so. Other's are willing to grind for years on end to never realize their full potential or achieve their goals. If the process is what you love and the outcome isn't as important then staying natty just makes more sense.
I won't even get into genetic or other limiting factors. Life isn't fair. Some guys can just barely touch weights and eat whatever and have a better physique/strength level then guys that grind for 10+ years.

Unless someone is competing in a sport or a "natty" bb competition, what exactly are they cheating at?

All the years he spent grinding, planning, eating, and competing and now somehow rendered moot because people think it was as easy as not being natty.

Natty in the sense the lifting world uses to define someone outside of a natural range? Then yeah they fall in the natty category.
TRT users (done properly) have no advantage over someone who has naturally high/normal test levels
They’re in a deficiency otherwise. This is like complaining diabetics aren’t natural because they need insulin.

First would like to point out the obvious that not everybody training does so for absolute strength... I personally don't care how much I can push/pull on any given lift... I train for size , shape, and overall appearance as do many others...
Second, TRT is way more than just trying to put on muscle to give the natty's something to complain about every day (although it is quite amusing at times). If somebody legitimately has low testosterone it affects every facet of your life not just the ability to put on and retain LBM. I wont bother digging into the other aspects as they are easily obtained via Google.

If more men understood what true TRT was, I'm convinced there would be alot less depression, soy-boyness and all around wasting away of the male population, True TRT only gets your levels back to the normal range, so that you don't feel horrible all the time. And there are some other things that can help with estrogen maintenance, etc. so that you honestly feel more like you did in your 20's, and not like you're 110 years old.
