I’m 32 and considering a short testosterone cycle to gain lean muscle, but I don’t want to be dependent on TRT for life. Has anyone successfully run a cycle, recovered natural testosterone production afterward, and maintained most of their gains? What factors affect recovery and long-term hormone health?

My free testosterone improved more than my total testosterone would’ve missed that if I only checked one marker

I had secondary hypogonadism so LH and FSH were the most important markers to watch. Clomid worked exactly as expected because we had baseline labs.

The old pic looks like someone who lifts and the new pic looks like someone who trains

The newer 190 looks way denser

The waist to shoulder ratio is the biggest difference I see

The newer pic has way more muscle maturity

The newer version looks like the weight is actually distributed better

The older picture looks softer and the newer one looks much more athletic
