      If you are a senior citizen in terrific shape, have energy, sex six times a week, and exercises four to seven times a week with high intensity intervals and weight/resistance, should you get checked?
      I go full bore for thirty second intervals. I usually shut it down if my heart rate hits 175, let it drop back to about 128, then ramp up again. I'm shaped well with lean muscle, maybe 6% bodyfat, and I'm not interested in mass, would this treatment help me?

      My goal is ONLY to stay active and capable until the finish line and I hope that is about 110 years old.
      You should definitely get yours checked asap...lol

        A 10 ml bottle of testosterone lasts 20 weeks and costs around $65 from Costco pharmacy. My wife does the injections. Insurance does not cover it, but it seems cheap to me.
        If you can, it's best to divide the dose in to 2 injections a week. It prevents those lows you're experiencing. It provides a more steady level.

            Yes there is when you went to the doctor did he recommend any medication if so there are always natural supplements you can take instead of what they recommended you . If you want to pm me your number so I can ask you some questions and can recommend you something to take .

              I think you might need to get your sarcasm meter checked.

                I guess I'm wired different, doc gave some testosterone boosting pill, don't recall the name, but all it did for me was put me into a constant state of po'd about everything, sky, sun, air, I was just pizzded. After about a week of that, figured I'd just leave well enough alone.

                      I was tested at 230 when i was 36. genetics has a lot to do with it. I have been doing the Bio-T pellets since then and now I'm mostly in the 900's, unless i don't get them on time. my ins. doesn't cover any of it so i pay out of pocket. it does thicken your blood but if you go donate every few months it isn't an issue.

                        Yes, I read what I posted. It is every bit true. I'm lucky in the bedroom respect and wouldn't have any room for complaints if the good Lord took that away. I can only be thankful.

                        I often wondered if my high intensity interval workouts had anything to do with the situation and then I read what someone posted here on the subject.

                        I asked these questions not out of sarcasm but true wonderment. I have one doctor tell me that many times the low-T starts with a sedentary or lazy lifestyle (use it or lose it), overall health, or diet.

                        I see so many young fellers seeking this fountain of youth and I don't totally understand. "T" supplements appear to me akin to viagra, it's overcoming a condition in which the root cause may not be assesed?

                        Whether genetics or lifestyle, I don't know. Even in women's cases, many active women still ovulate and menstruate even in their sixties.

                          Been tested twice at about 400 and both doctors said no to the therapy. I still feel like crap. Can I shop around for a doctor that will work with me?

                            For me, my Low T was related to working nights, hypertension and severe sleep apnea. I've always exercised, yes cardio included but not on the regular. It depended on my goals.

                              I believe insurance will not cover it and docs will not wrote for it inless.youre below 300.

                                I think the body is very complex and different genetics respond to different lifestyles. Its almost like a "manly man" stays manly or becomes more so while other factors make the man's body lean toward the other direction?

                                I'm sure there are tons of factors involved, I hope to stay lucky for a while. I believe "sleep" and "stress" is a major player in overall health.
