So it occurs to me in talking to people over the yrs and then reading about another last night, maybe there are more than 2 phases of life and gear. The 2 we tend to think of as cycling age and trt age. Now I don't want this to be a thought for the younf guys as I happen to think your down times are very important. This is an expansion of my last write "HGH BORN AGAIN" but I consider this a write for guys pre-trt.
Lets consider a thread I read last night of an individual struggling with the leap to trt. His thinking as was mine 3 yrs ago pre-trt, "this is for life, no turning back and once I start the natty test is likely to be done from here on. " it is a big leap and a big decision so it should be entered into with great thought.
So these are my thoughts personally and while I don't assume anyone should adopt them as their own without great care, I do believe they are sound. If test levels dip under 300 I think the thoughts of not being trt are crazy. You have the near cure for what will "definately" depreciate your life dramatically and to not go trt when you know all the ill effects in health that occur as a result of that catalyst, is insane IMO.
This write howerever is describing how I think there is a period of time when something else can be done and not only delay trt but also strengthen ones health in the period of years we wait to qualify for trt. Remember, thers not a night you go to bed and then wake up with trt levels "all of a sudden". The decline in test levels happens over yrs and believe me when I tell you, there is no coincidence here that in those same yrs we age quite a bit.
So maybe as I introduce this for discussion I say we have to have some sort of category system to begin thinking about it, that may be if for no other reason to keep 25 yr olds from thinking they qualify for the specific therapy I'm about to touch on.
Alright finally to the point...I happen to believe there is this periodd of decline between what Docs consider pre-trt and trt. As I said , you don't just instantly end up trt. I wish I had the knowledge to use low dose hgh in this period of yrs. I'm talking about an anti-aging dose of 1-2 iu's ed during the yrs from say 39 to mid 40's. Reason being I know much of my aging occured there and while I have erased some of that with full on hrt it was still a period where things were much more difficult in terms of achievment and I know my health was in decline. I could have drawn a line in the sand as it were had I ran low dose hgh and benefitted greatly. So this write is to once again maybe share something I perceive to be a mistake on my part thinking possibly someone could capitalize on mine and not have it themselves. Now keep in mind, this is being done some. Its rare for sure but there are a few people running this protocol and I've talked with a couple of them in the last year.
So here is the thoughbt as it relates to the science so think about it but in doing so think about it as a bridge from regualr cycling age to trt and not as an excuse to be "on something yr round" if a younger person, thats not good science!

HOW IS THIS BENEFICIAL? i'm glad you asked that question ...
Think about this, test has began to decline and I've gone over all the ugly things that come with that decline many times so lets just say "this is where real aging begins". So this is why I think hgh therapy pre-trt is usefl and I'll just lay them out and number them here.
1. We create better balance in an axis in decline
2. Utilize natty test more efficiently
3. Prompt additional natty test via positive feedback loop
4. Add the possibility for more cell production knowing less cell production is the very reason for aging.
5. Strengthen all hormone function via better axis balance and health, better immune function and overall a higher rate of metabolism "indicating youthfull experience".
6. No axis shutdown here, simply stronger and more stable axis function

Give me your thoughts on this. Keep in mind, "just because you don't do it" does not mean its not sound and while I will not impose my thoughts on anyone, an open mind is a mind that can learn. A closed mind mind is through learning and is that old dog that will never learn new tricks". Its all about new tricks for me until the tricks run out and we are a very long way from that occuring. Again, this is for pre-trt age and not an excuse for 25 yr olds to cruise!
