“Are you on steroids?”
It’s one of the most common things I hear online — and honestly, it’s one of my favorite “insults”. Why? Because I deserve it.
If you don’t follow me on socials, you might not realize how transparent I’ve been about being on Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). I take 250mg of Testosterone Cypionate per week, prescribed and monitored by my doctor.
Let me be clear — if you’re considering TRT, it’s not something to take lightly or jump into without proper medical oversight.
I prioritize my health by regularly getting bloodwork done. I also schedule annual echocardiograms along with VO2 max testing, and recently completed an executive health scan that was an even deeper dive than I’ve previously had into my complete health. Staying on top of these things isn’t optional — it’s essential.
Am I glad I started TRT? Without a doubt it’s been a positive experience for me.
That said, TRT isn’t for everyone. One of the biggest trade-offs I faced was infertility. When I began this journey, having kids wasn’t something I envisioned in my future, so it didn’t feel like a sacrifice at the time. But it’s a consequence that’s important to recognize and weigh carefully.
Fortunately, I did have banked sperm, however, this resulted in us having to go through IVF. Which, in fairness, can really be a lot on your partner. Also, I’m likely going to need a hair transplant at some point. I’m thinking about doing it in the winter of 2026. It definitely thinned my hair and despite spending roughly $10k on laser hair removal, my back shoulders need constant grooming to keep the hair off.
I’m not a doctor, and I won’t pretend to play one on Instagram. I firmly believe with years of research that TRT is perfectly healthy when monitored appropriately. (Lincoff, A Michael et al. “Cardiovascular Safety of Testosterone-Replacement Therapy.” The New England journal of medicine vol. 389,2 (2023): 107-117. doi:10.1056/NEJMoa2215025)
This is purely my experience, and if TRT is something you’re curious about, it’s a conversation that needs to happen with your healthcare provider.

Smart. Getting the echocardiogram annually will save your life. Too many 30 year olds out there in heart failure and don’t even know it due to blasting steroids in their 20s. Labs a few times a year. This is perfect.
Wow you got a lot of morons on here commenting😂
Doctor monitored TRT is one of the safest ways to take it..? It’s actually 250ml bottle but only a 1ml shot every 7-10 days . I do intramuscular and have done it for over 15 years. I’m 51 now and you would never know I was this age. No health issues and even have a low resting heart rate due to the cardio I do and genetics. Steroids are dangerous when you don’t know where you’re getting it from and you’re dosing crazy high amounts. TRT keeps your levels normal… that’s it if you’re doing it right.
If you're in your 40s or early 50's you can just use supplements (tongkat ali, boron, pregnenilone, DHEA) to optimize your hormones. All you likely need at that point is just more raw material for your body's natural production. Wait until you really truly need TRT.
That isnt replacement therapy. Thats a cycle. The reason people talk trash is because you lie and say its just "replacement therapy" when your boosting your levels far above anything they've ever been before and above anything you could ever do naturally.
And you end the video saying you don't "think" it has any negative effects on your health, but you don't know. And you arent getting every risk checked with the tests you're doing. Just stay honest man. There's nothing wrong with someone chosing to do steroids. Just call it what it is instead of downplaying it.
250mg/week is a cycle and yes you are on steroids
Oh shut up. Your little baby bottle dose doesnt do shit to blood work, lipids, etc.. and if you cant get it up, theres a whole other problem
Why are you seeing a cardiologist for trt?
What happens when the supply is cut. Natural efforts only for me. Thank you for sharing
I'm on Tren Ace Masteron P and Test P 400 mgs a week and 70mgs of anavar daily. I started out on trt taking the Anderson gel 4 pumps daily. Now I'm just on a ton of PED'S and I love it
Good luck saying the same thing when your 60 and have failing organs. I dont get why people/body builders glory steroids so much. Its not what's on the outside but inside that matters.
I just appreciate the honesty
Don't touch that stuff till you are 50.
You could have probably just used hcg and a couple other things and gotten your fertility markers back up in a couple
Of weeks
250 a week isn’t trt, it’s a very low dose for a cycle but it’s a cycle, you might as well just up it to 5 600 and make it worthwhile since you completely killed your natural test production
I just find it funny when dudes who are obviously on gear talk about their diets and workout routines like that’s how they got as big and strong as they are while conveniently neglecting the fact they had a boost..
do blood test every month especially hematocrit
You look great and congrats on the baby news. Trolls are gonna trolls and haters are gonna hate. I think people should make whatever decision is best for them I just don’t respect the guys who lie about it. I.e. Mike O’Hearn.
Friend started TRT cream at 57, at 59 he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer , he died 10 months later. Seen too many of my friends get cancer in later years , all of them had used gear.
Mate, 250mlg per week is a steroid abuser. Get real, I don’t know who your specialist is but he ain’t no doctor. You are not in the TRT category
100 years ago people took TRT and end up shorten life span. average is 65 years old.
Are you sure that boy is yours?……. I mean you are blasting 250 bro….. are you really sure? I’m just saying what everyone is thinking.
Like most of the comments on here 250 of cyp is not not not a trt dose so you are on steroids not trt just adding bullshit to the rest of gym bros who claim trt your full of shit dude get of the internet and annoy some other dudes
You are doing more than just your average TRT dose Brodie… And that's ok lol keep up the good work
250/week might as well be a cycle. You don’t think TRT is detrimental to your health because being infertal is normal? We’re your levels under 200? WOW
32 and been on TRT for a year. I feel great on it but I hate the way it ages my face, so thinking of getting off of it soon as I looked more youthful before
TRT is a marriage without divorce, should start it on 55s
People are just rude and jealous so ignore them. I commented to another guy that’s a trainer to keep the hairy chest and i got a rude reply. Are you gay and i replied yes and you got a problem with that. Stupid ass people. At least I’m not like all the married closet cases cheating on their wives. I live my life the way I want.
TRT makes castrate you…WTF, that is likely why its avalible. wow just wow
You guys are all just looking for excuses to hop on the ‘gear’.
By definition, TRT is supposed to replace what naturally drops as you get older — not something you even think about before 50.
And if you start, it’s usually a 10, 15, even 20‑year commitment at a steady, moderate dose.
But hey, if you’re not brave enough to admit what you’re really doing, just call it TRT.
Not my cup of tea.” 😄
Ya'll sound like gatekeepers talking about how no one should be starting trt in their 30's. Who are ya'll to say one way or the other? And yes, I'm on trt. After a year or so of better exercise and diet it was still below 200. Ya'll are ridiculous
Really….250 a week is not replacement man. Thats takes you to supraphysiologic peaks. You forget that actual endocrinologist watch these ridiculous videos. No doctor will prescribe that amount. Maybe loose clinics…. Didn’t even watch the entire video. I’m sure he is bating people buy from him or whatever company he is getting deals from. Pathetic
Will it help you lose fat along with gaining muscle?
If there's nothing wrong with it, why so guilty?
I did not know trt was Steroids lol. It's amazing how simple you can get it nowadays. Just click here.

No one cares..
I was on 140 weekly then did the slight bump to 160 because I aromatize so much so on 140 my troughs were in the high 300 to middle 400s now I’m only falling to around 550-650 I’m guessing the day after dosing I’m probably 900-1100 but then start to fall quickly after that
