Is testosterone a scam?

It seems to just make people bold & age faster

Is it just mimicking keto by overloading the test levels against estrogen

I’m trying to say estrogen blockers are probably a better solution than overloading massive mg of test

Test is important but overrated.

You need healthy test levels to grow muscle and recover and all the other stuff that androgens do, but there's a bit more to muscle mass and strength than just testosterone - i.e., genetics, motivation, and drive, with the latter two factors being spiritual rather than genetic.

it won't make you jacked put it that way

if you're on a standard dose of 150mg per week that will put most in the upper range of natural levels

if you've been lifting natty for years you won't make any more muscle gains but it will help keep fat levels down, make you a bit leaner etc
might boost your sex drive a bit as well but that's it


guys who were claiming they were on trt in ufc etc we're taking exorbitant anounts like 2000mg per week


edit: thought op meant trt, no testosterone itself is not overrated it's what makes us men

Estrogen is neuroprotective, cardioprotective, prevents bone loss, boosts libido, and has lots of other positive benefits. Unless you are on a high t dose AND overaromatize you should practically never try to block it.


Also, no testosterone is not a scam. Getting levels to the top of the range or slightly above is probably one of the best things a guy could do for health, well-being, and longevity.

You need good genetics, etc, to actually look like a bodybuilder or fitness model.

“Only” 10%

You add 10% muscle mass to any dude that is already at the natty limit, that’s a completely different dude

I have to take an AI, at 80mg 2x per week doses my estradiol was getting the 130 range. I have it down to around 30-35 now and I feel good.
