Disclaimer, I know NOTHING about steroids or PEDs.
I do martial arts, mainly Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a little boxing, MMA training, etc, and at 38 I've started wondering if I'd ever use TRT but I know so little about it and also very much doubt I could get a solid connection or a doctor who would do it for me, nor do I know if I could afford it, and overall I tend to doubt I'll ever do it and I've always said I'd NEVER touch steroids and I'm sure I won't, but there are a lot of people in the BJJ world and MMA world who do use PEDs, I mean they are rampant in the UFC.
So I've heard, though I don't know if it's true, that proper TRT therapy (I guess proper means just getting your levels to like whatever they were at their peak, like in your early 20s or so and not higher than that?) is FAR safer than usage of various steroids like Deca, Winstrol, Dianabol: 1) but is this even true and if so, then WHY?
2) I mean isn't the main reason steroids improve performance that they increase testosterone?
3) So then why would pure Test be safer?
4) And why do people choose to do other steroids over TRT?
5) Also, if one ever does start to get TRT then is it true you have to continue it for a lifetime or you will get all messed up, and if so, what would happen if one started TRT and then suddenly stopped?
6) How do people manage to get hooked up with a lifetime of TRT?
7) And also, is there a big difference between how safe it is to get the right level of TRT to get your levels to the highest that a man's can NATURALLY be vs rising them to levels higher than what they'd ever been previously in your life NATURALLY?
8 and in the U.S. how expensive is it usually to get TRT (lets say on a monthly basis) and how often do people usually get shots when they get TRT?
I numbered the questions cause I thought they'd be easier to sort through that way.
Thanks
