    And thank you all for replies; much appreciated. I’m not looking for stage prep results, just a little help. I’ve busted my ass natty for 33 years; it’s my turn now.

    I think you may have been misinformed. My family doc prescribed TRT for me and my insurance does cover it. Although my standard co-pay is doubled from $20 to $40. So it only costs me $40 for a months supply. If you are in the U.S. then your insurance should cover it. I would recommend seeing your family doctor. Apparently, it is a very common question for them and if your levels are low they will generally prescribe it and your insurance will cover the bulk of the cost. If your doc is hesitant then find another family practitioner. I would stay away from centers since your family doc is more than capable of handling this matter. In addition, your insurance will cover the family doctor visit as well.

    The doc will probably even have free samples of TRT meds to give you. Mine gave me a few months of meds for free for me to try out before I fully committed. The drug manufacturers are all fighting to corner this market since this a HUGE up and coming market. Thus they are giving free samples and coupons to doctors by the truck load.

    Finally, ask your doc to prescribe Axiron, which is a gel that is applied to the armpits. Then go the Axiron website and print out their coupon. The coupon pays your co-pay minus $25 for 12 months. So essentially, you can get a months supply for $25 every month for a year.

    I am 42 and TRT has changed my life. My test levels were low and I had very low energy and almost no libido before TRT. Now I feel like I did ten years ago. If your levels truly are low then I would recommend seeing your doc. Perhaps you could benefit as much as I did.

    I think it’s a huge myth that you cannot gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. It’s called recomping (short for body recomposition) and I’ve done it numerous times, naturally throughout my twenty years of training. I have trained others to do the same and they have gotten nice results as well. It isn’t easy and your diet & training have to be pretty disciplined but it can be done naturally without AAS. However, results can be dramatically better with test, even lower doses.
