A man who started TRT with testosterone at 130 ng/dL quit to test his natural baseline. It dropped to 420 ng/dL, but he still felt great and stayed strong. He decided to stay on TRT while focusing on diet and training instead.

Why did you come off of, uh, TRT? I was really low for years, like 130, and I was like, all right, let's get this right and figure out what's going on. Did it, and I got low body fat, I got strong, I was hitting record squat and bench numbers. And then I was like, all right, well, let's try without it. My testosterone level actually went down, but I still felt wonderful and my body felt great. So I was like, let's just try not doing it for a while. What's your test now? It dropped. It was 800 and then it went to 420.
Well, yeah, if you don't need it. Are you on it right now? Yeah. When I was younger, I did a lot of hardcore bodybuilding stuff and shut down my system. With what I know now, I could probably restore more natural function similar to what you did, but it would be a lot more aggressive of a recovery phase. Putting myself through that right now isn't necessarily top of mind, so it's kind of just been a stay on it right now and optimize everything around it.
