Over use of Pre workouts and hormones.
ad
So, its been 2 years and i take pre workout drinks such as jack3d, C4 extreme and Mr Hyde close to 5-6 times a week on average. The doses i take are well over recommended, sometimes even up to 4X's just to get the same feeling as what it used to be.
Recently, went to the doctors and my testosterone came back at 360 ng/dl which for my age of 26 is very low. Over 6 months since PCT of last test cycle was said done and surely levels should be higher!
My question is, could my heavily caffeinated reliance on pre workout drinks be a possible cause of my low test? Feeling very fatigued through out the day, low/none libido and sex drive and depressed.
Thanks for answers.

Here's my personal take because something similar happened albeit much worse.
When you exercise, especially powerlifting you put stress on the CNS. When you don't get enough sleep, are stressed out, drink too much alcohol, consume a large amount if stimulants, you put stress on the CNS. When the body encounters mental and physical stress it releases cortisol. If the body is under excessive stress, it over reassess cortisol. What most people don't realize is cortisol total screws up your androgens. Women will stop getting their periods while men get erectile dysfunction. This is why people need to only consume caffeine (or 1.2 Dimythelalanine, geranium root etc) in moderation. You don't just need sleep for gains, it's for your overall health. I recommend a caffeine detox. Stick to only green tea and it's extract and only if absolutely necessary
How you recently gained excessive amounts of water weight while having a sharp decrease in strength
pre workout are supposed to be cycled to, there not meant for this, your body became dependent on it, of course you feel like shit, there drugs too, stay away from supps like that! go get yourself some good quality vitamins, daa, fenugreek, good vitamin d, and some hgw, start having super green shakes b4 workouts, healthy and good energy, get your kidneys, liver and bp checked, asses and rectify if needed, your not shutdown, you can bounce back.
Thanks brother, good advice. Do you think its just a waiting game, its been over 6 months still last cycled, im young my test levels should be higher, may be with good supplementation they will. Also I have bloods done waiting for results as only got serum checked, waiting on fsh, lh and e2.

Well i began to wonder could my caffeine use be a possible cause be a possible cause to my test, i did not mention that in my previous posts, so i made a new one?
No caffeine won't do that
