I'm 18 years old and I believe I have low test.
>constantly tired though sleeping ~8h a day
>shitty gains considering I've been lifting for 3 years. I weigh my every meal, get 2g protons/lb and eat more cals than I burn, routine is PPL
>foggy brain all the time, hard to concentrate
>no beard growth
>dont beat off often
>low mood most of the time
>testies prolly smaller than average
What do u think? Do I still have a chance? Should I see a doc?
Pic is me, 5'10 150lb not even close to 1/2/3/4
>>
get more sunlight and get off of the computer
>>
>>39587923
Go to the doctor retard you might just be depressed
>>
>>39587923
>not even close to 1/2/3/4

looking at your chest your bench should be around 2pl8 or not ?
>>
If you truly train 6 days a week with no breaks as a natty you are going to eventually feel like shit.
>>
>>39587932
What the fuck
>>
>>39587935
Wouldnt explain why im lagging physically unless depression is due to low t
>>
>>39587932
this dudes probably right, spending all day on the computer has way more effect on us physically and psychologically than we think

sunlights really important
>>
could be a million things, everyone just immediately decides it must be 'muh low test'. There's more than one chemical in your body that determines how you feel and act, actually there's hundreds if not thousands.

You say you eat more than you burn but you look pretty skinny. You've got room to bulk. Eat even more, lift even harder, do a solid proven routine and not just made up bullshit. If you've really been lifting for 3 years I doubt you've been using your time effectively.
>>
>>39587939
It's about 200lb
>>
>>39587923
sounds like it could be low test. could be from malnutrition (low magnesium, low fat diet, low selenium etc), high stress or seasonal depreasion

see a doc for a mens health blood test (test and such) an a chat about your symptoms and concerns.

doc mght say 250 ng/dl is normal test. it is normal for a bedridden senior citizen, not for a hard charging 20 something.

pic suggests your test levels are fine.
>>
have you ever tried eating a 500kcal surplus and following a strength training routine ? if you still cant get stronger that way you might have a case but to me it seems you are halfassing your training or not eating enough. hard to tell through the internet though...
>>
>>39587954
Cortisol levels from depression severely hamper muscle gains. BTW your way too fucking big to have low T.
>>
>>39587988
that is already too big to have low T ? I can rep 1/2/3/4 and am bigger than OP (although also slightly higher bf%) and I have been thinking that I might be low test.
>>
>>39587923

post testies
im a doctor
>>
>>39587962
Yeah, but the lack of test would explain my physical and psychological problems thats why I am suspecting it. But about my bf% I was skinnier last summer and definitely have gone up fat just dont want to turbo bulk like last winter which made me get a lot of stretch marks. First 1.5 years i didnt pay attention to nutrition though.

I look way better than that now as I am prescribed 200mg of test every 2 weeks. I lifted 4 days a week consistently, never missed a workout, and diet was on point. It was extremely hard to cut as my metabolism was shot, and fat distribution was fucked. It was a big achievement when I got those "abs" to appear.

Current pic from this years summer cut.

I don't train chest because gyno. Normies actually think my gyno is muscle lel.
>>
Ok so if its not low test how can i fix my cortisol levels? Googling told to drink black tea and listen to music but i guess that doesnt cure my case
>>
>>39588067
Your gyno doesn't look that bad thought, desu.
>>
>>39588075
Yeah, fixing my hormone levels really helped it look kinda alright.
>>
>>39587945

What the fuck man
>>
>>39588073
Go to the doc and talk about it. Also look into dealing with whatever is stressing you, if it's depression, seek medical help and therapy.
>>
>>39588021
>>39588067
what exactly do you mean with female fat distribution ?

not saying it doesnt hinder gains, trust me i gotta push myself really fucking hard. But this is me, and my doctors have offered my test many times but i refuse to take it cuz i dont like the idea of being on something the rest of my life so..
>>
>>39588021
What were your test levels?
>>
>>39587923
Well you're definitely doing something wrong because I'm 5'10 200 lbs lifting for 3 1/2 years and I'm 2/3/4/5
>inb4 not natty

>>39589001
Diet is the hardest fucking part man. I'm always afraid I'm going to lose some of my muscle if I diet too hard or incorrectly. Any tips/advice?
>>
>>39589001
Seen this guy in many cbt's. unless you can prove with timestamp, i'm gunna call bs.

>>39587923

2 grams per pound of protein is way too much. Bring it down to 1 gram and eat way more carbs and a bit more fat. I think it would be hard as fuck bulking on all the protein. I bet you shit like once a week.
>>
>>39587923
>I've been lifting for 3 years
you look like you have too
>not even close to 1/2/3/4
understandable if you haven't been training for strength and just looks
my brother has been lifting for aesthetics for over 5 years and he's real big, I've been training less than 2 and out lift him in squats and deads
>>
>>39589287
Yep, but low normal I won't start TRT and maintain it all my life just because I look like shit
>>
>>39587923

Why are you weighing everything if you are that lean and trying to gain mass eat up. My guess is you weigh everything and are constantly cutting at the first sign of any growth.

EAT

Gonna have to show us your penis if you want us to know if you are low test or not. Trust me, it's the only way

High likely low test. Used to fap everyday and experienced similar symptoms of low energy and brain fog. Go for a blood test bud.
>>
>>39587994

OP is complaining of the Low T symptoms so he should get tested to rule it out, but odds are very likely its low T.

Dude you don't know shit about Low T or frankly testosterone. Low T does not affect the muscle mass the person can carry greatly, but how easy it is build the mass. The biggest effect of testosterone is protein synthesis. People taking superhuman dosages do not apply to this conversation.

@10%BF dude is 150 with 135LBM. He is not a big dude either too big for low T shake your head. He needs to age and grow he is 18 with a small frame and he wants to lift like a 30 year old at 5’10 that weighs 200. Most people can’t bench their own body weight. Young guys are also at a disadvantage as there check hasn’t filled in yet.

To pull a 1/2/3/4 * 150


225 is a 1.5 Power Factor
315 is 2.1 Power Factor
405 is a 2.7 Power Factor
>>
>>39590198
>>39587923
Agreed. You'll have to show us that man meat, OP.
>>
>>39587923
vitamin D nigga

get in some sunlight or take at least 5000 iu's of that shit
>>
>train like shit
>blame genetics for shit results
99% of you faggots are totally fine and are just retarded.
>>
>>39587923
I feel the same way. Lifting is now a hell for me i'm always tired.
>>
for anyone wondering

>http://www.privatemdlabs.com/

select Female Hormone panel for a $66.99 test (same shit as male one just cheaper) and go and get your test levels
>>
>>39587923
>>39587935
Depression can actually be a symptom of low testosterone if coupled with the other symptoms OP has mentioned. At the same time though, it might also be a cause of those same symptoms, outside of the low beard growth.

I'd talk to your doctor about it, and depending on his conclusion he'll probably recommend either an anti-depressant and a therapist, or a testosterone supplement. Either way, it should fix your problem.
>>
>>39587923
half or more than half of that shit is psychological because you think you have low test. get outside, supp vitamin d, and go live
>>
>>39589180

Not him but he often posts about low T in CBT and progress threads.

It's him Alright.

I think he wants to inspire lol T anons to refuse TRT and train hard and eat right

Good for him
>>
>>39587923
Post butt. For scientific purposes.
>>
>>39589289
I meant 2/kg but i fucked it
>>39590124
I weigh because otherwise i wouldnt be eating enough, my appetite is shit
>>39590712
Got this idea few days ago
>>
Can you be low test from being a lazy, tubby piece of shit?

Can you stop being so low T by being an active, less tubby piece of shit who goes outdoors often and exerts himself?
