Quote from 3rdocagt:
I'll throw in my 2 cents, based on actual use.
Played pro football(in CFL...not good enough for NFL)..and later competed as a power lifter and bodybuilder.
Testosterone makes you bigger stronger and faster. Keep in mind that when I used test it was not a scheduled drug and a "sports MD" would give you a shot of pure pharmaceutical grade test once a week.
There's a huge difference between use and abuse, pure and underground juice.
Cycled properly there is NO down regulation of HPTA, and at 200mg/wk little rise in estrogen...which if occurs can be easily countered with an anti-estrogen like arimidex.
To give you athletes/traders who have never "used" I'll try to explain how you feel... both physically and mentally.
Have you ever gone to the gym or had a game in that everything was effortless. Your body has no limitations and boundless energy with the ability to recoup in a fews hours from total physical exhaustion! Well that's how you feel every day on the "Test".
It's really quite remarkable and that's where the pyschological boost comes from. Because you feel so good physically your mind does "work" better...more clarity, confidence, etc.
Aloha for now.
