Any tricks to testing low (for Testosterone)?

[NewAtThis]

I had a consult with a guy a month ago. After getting my labwork back (which was saliva, btw), he told me that my Test-levels were fine and that I didn't really need TRT.

For some background, I am 45 years-old and have experienced a great deal of muscle mass and strength loss over the last 5-10 years,. I've also put on some fat around the midsection and have felt a decrease in libido and energy. All classic symptoms of andropause. I don't cvare what the lab rersults say are normal, I know that I can't possibly be close to the same tesosterone levels as I was.

I have a consult with a different doctor in a week and a half. He will, undoubtedly, send me for blood work. Is there anything you know of that would effect test-levels for the labwork? Any diet, sexual, or weightlifting things that would make it test low? I have no idea how open-minded this new doctor will be. Hopefully, he's not a slave to the lab reports and he listens to my symptoms, but to get the odds in my favor, do you know of any 'tricks' to help reduce test before my bloodwork?

Thanks

Why would you want to cheat to get your test lower?? I would highly reccommend you get the actual bloodwork done and see your REAL results to see what they are actually at. What are your test levels right now?? It would be in your best interest for you to get the right levels and go from that point to see what you need to do next. It could be you might have an existing problem that you don't know of and the bloodwork results will protect you.

He would want to cheat the system because his Dr. is an ass-hat!
A Dr. doing test panels using an oral test? AYFKM? Simple way to fail the test. Just depends on how bad!
1. Don't get more than 4 hrs of sleep for three nights before the test.
2. Drink above moderately 2 nights before the test.
Now if you really want to fail the test.
Get ahold of some test prop. Inject for 4 weeks 50mg every other day. Stop 12 days before the test. No PCT until after the test. Oh yeah start smoking too! No don't start smoking that stuff sucks!

Thanks, goin on 4T. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Alcohol and little sleep. I can definitely do those two.

The article from T-Nation also mentions very low calorie intake several days prior. Maybe I'll try all three.


Anyone have any first hand experience as to whether or not these things will help?

Maybe if my guy doesn't work out, I'll be asking you for a referral.

maybe test prop eod 50mg for 3-4 wks and dbol 20mg or so for 3-4 weeks stop cold turkey with no pct and find a test online and see what levels are. Then get theresults to a Doc or whatever u choose. Feedback on this would be great.

definitely would like to know how this works although would've been nice to see actual baseline results 1st for comparison

I've been looking into doing this too, my dr is also giving me a hard time. I'm technically "within the normal range" even though well towards the low end. If I can get up near the higher end or over I'd definitely be happier. I'm a hard gainer and getting tired of beating the hell out of myself @ the gym and eating like a monster only to gain more fat than muscle even though I'm eating clean
