TRT - Natty or Not?

In a world full of fake Natty’s, is being on TRT just an excuse to be on steroids and get all the benefits of steroids and still claim being natural?

There are for sure lots people who should be or need to be on TRT because their bodies just are not producing enough Testosterone to be in what is considered a healthy range.

That healthy range can depend on many things…

  • Are you a man or woman and yes some women are prescribed Testosterone by their doctors as a means to increase low Testosterone and even increase estrogen in women.
  • Age is also a factor when considering what is healthy so in other words it is not expected for a 20 year old and a 70 year old to naturally produce the same amount of Testosterone but there are still healthy ranges each age group should be within.
  • Geography, yes each country will have their own Testosterone range allowances set since each country has their own health system and guidelines in place. 

So lets say you find yourself with low Testosterone, your blood-work shows this to be true and you feel the symptoms of low Testosterone which can be a lack of energy, low libido, a hard time recovering from physical activity, fat gain, sleep disorders, depression, erectile dysfunction being the most common. It would only make sense to get this looked into for better over health and well-being! After all being on TRT is a medical therapy much like if a woman is going through menopause and requires supplementation of hormones or even people on specific drugs to help with chemical imbalances to get them back to a more normal state.

Getting more to the topic of this video, why is it that people think that just because a person is prescribed Testosterone by their doctor to get them back to more “normal” ranges, that somehow they are cheating and have super human powers and advantages? I would go so far as to say that most men on TRT would be hard to pick out since being at normal ranges will not make you jacked or give you super human strength. Yes if your Testosterone was really low, going on TRT will help you gain some muscle back and get stronger but it should bring you back to where you normally would have been if your Testosterone levels where in more normal ranges to begin with.

I think the main reason why people get "set-off" when people claim they are on TRT but still claim to be natural, is because many of these So called "Natty’s" simply do not look natural. This is because I would say most of these people while they may be on TRT, are probably also abusing their TRT to some degree by either upping their Testosterone dose or adding other performance enhancing compounds and yes that would for sure take them out of the “Natty” category. No argument here!

I often hear the argument that when a person is on TRT, their levels of Testosterone in their system are more consistent and this can be true since a true natural person will produce small amounts of Testosterone at different times of the day which can make their Testosterone fluctuate from hour to hour. Many people on TRT only get their injection twice per month or even once per month which means right after the injection they will be at their highest levels but right before their next injection they can actually be crashed especially if they have monthly injections so I am not really sure which is worse at the end of the day. Personally I believe that you don’t really feel the effects of Testosterone so much based on exactly how much is in your system at any given time but more as an average over time and that is why it take a good month or so after going on TRT to feel the benefits.

At the end of the day plain and simple if you are on TRT you are not Natty since you are not making the bulk of your Testosterone naturally. That said if you are at normal healthy ranges while on TRT, I feel there is little advantage over a person with similar Testosterone levels making it naturally. Of course if you are taking more Testosterone than you need putting yourself into above average ranges then you will be getting extra benefits because now are you are essentially at body builder levels of Testosterone.

Do what is right for you and don’t worry about what other people think, you do not need to tell people if you are "Natty or Not" but don’t make a video showing your 3 month transformation after going on TRT and call it a Natural transformation, that just adds fuel to the already burning bonfire of calling out Fake Natty's.
