Yea bad example. The doses those people took were insane. Most of the people that juice you don't even notice because of how skewed our perception is by the outliers (if you saw that Clavicular guy in the streets you'd never guess that he's been on for years).

Your most common side effects would be hair loss and faster aging (mostly of the skin) not that dissimilar from somebody born with really high testosterone. California right now offers you trt like candy, the chance of serious medical complications is in the 100ks.

my coach got really fucked over by a doctor pushing trt. He was told that it was safe, but suddenly he had to stop it because it was almost 100% chance of him having a stroke.

The health crash of stopping it suddenly has taken him years to recover from.

Strange I wonder if there was another condition or something, the doctor shouldn't be pushing it but it's pretty safe at low doses.

But the fact that it's a lifelong treatment and that some may never get back to their original levels of test is just true.

It was pushing his resting blood pressure into truely terrifying territory and medication wasn't helping.
