Don't confuse my nonchalant attitude about the subject of TRT with a lack of thought on the topic. My attitude is about being pragmatic and accepting what will be for many of us a forgone conclusion. Every time I cycle, long or short, big doses or small, you're suppressing your HPTA. That equates to an unnatural abuse of the body's natural hormonal balances and it's ability to regulate itself once you come off.
Do this enough times and it's inevitable that it will take a toll on the body's natural ability to recover to it's previous baseline. It's a cumulative effect over time. Some may contend that with the right PCT they can recover their HPTA function to just as good as it was before they cycled, and they might be right, once or twice.
I simply don't subscribe to the fallacy that any PCT, especially when needed on a regular basis time and time again, can keep a regular, long-term abuser of AAS from ever being clinically qualified for prescription TRT.
Furthermore, why would anyone that regularly uses a schedule III federally controlled substance ever balk at the idea of being able to get it legally from his doctor? That's just stupidity. When you have a medical condition that qualifies you for a prescription for a substance that will treat it, and the alternative is to purchase black market products made by underground labs and sold through sketchy email based transactions, no thinking person opts for the former over the latter.
Just for a little clarification, I don't give half a fuck about being perceived as "hardcore" on some internet website. My positions are thought out logically, with a risk-benefit analysis done on every possible position to the proposed query. I outgrew the need to be Mr. Big Dick on the internet many moons ago. Learn to accept the possibility that there's more perspectives to life than your own, and don't be so dismissive about a position that you've clearly not even taken the time to consider and think through fully.
Well said. I just don't get any of that out from this
Who cares if u ever recover fully? Just go to the doc and get on scripted, legal TRT.
