Natural low test levels

[jimanold22]

I started training at 19 and I wanted to get big naturally,I was 5'11 188 when I started but got down to 155 ripped.Then at 21 I was still pretty lean"weighing 175",but only benching 230. "I started at 145".I have a really wide bone structure and thick bones so 175 was still pretty small.Anyway I decided to have my test levels checked they where only 350 and I had never touched AAS.So I started getting androgenic shots every 10 days from my doctor for 2.5 month's,but it didn't make a difference and at $50 every 10 days I couldn't afford it.So I stopped it.So that's when I started thinking about doing AAS.about 6mos. later I had to stop training for 4 mos and when I came back I was so weak.That's when I did my first cycle with sust. at 250mg per week for 8 weeks.I gained 10 solid pounds of muscle.Then another 7 week cycle of enanthate about 4 mos. Later.Then another of sust. and d-bol for 8 weeks about 5 mos later.Also I got over eating so cleanly and started eating alot more.That in it self seemed to put on more mass.Anyway I'm 23 now and weigh 230 now and carrying it good.I haven't got my test levels checked again,but they seem to be alot higher now.Could the short cycle's have stimulated my natural test levels?

i dont know if cycling will stimulate natural test levels. only blood work will tell you if your levels are in the normal range. eating ots of food has alot to do with gaining weight/mass...as you've found out.

as for your low test levels when you were younger, maybe whatever it was that was causing it just fixed itself...went away. just taking a shot in the dark on that one. but go get your levels tested again and see where you're at.

have a nice day

It is quite possible that from improper food intake, overtraining, stress in your life, lack of sleep, etc. can have profound effects on your natural hormone production. Try looking at those things because I seriously doubt that cycling had any positive effects on your htpta.

True.
In addition, even people with average levels can test low one day and high on another test taken only a week later.

new here guys but i,ve been around on other boards for some years,,, my experiance with low test levels after a few cycles without proper post cycle recovery, was the addition of hcg, at 2500 iu every 4 days, repeated 4 times, then clomid, & nolva. for at least 6 weeks. has kept my natural test levels in the normal range for my age. my point is,,, if you used hcg &clomid,,pct, it may have kicked youre nat. test back to normal, not the gear
