I completely empathize with your situation man. I was an avid bodybuilder, absolutely loved hitting the weights hard, I trained 5-6 days a week. When I crashed I had finally built a great physique and was at a point where I was really happy with my body. I lost all of that overnight with PFS. I was so fucked up that I ended up losing all my muscle and putting on 10kg of pure fat.
Literally the number 1 thing In the world that I want to get back to doing is bodybuilding. I’ve been so patient for the past 2 years, and I’m so excited because I think my body is now in a position where I can actually tolerate exercise again.
If your T levels are low, of course you are going to struggle to put on muscle. It may just take some time however for your body to bounce back. Be patient before you decide to take TRT.
One thing that helped me through this was to not focus on the things I’ve lost or missing out on, this will only keep you in a spiral of depression. Instead, you need to be grateful for what you do have in your life. You could have been born with spina bifida and not even had the chance to walk or workout ever in your entire life. Or you could have been born with something as debilitating as down syndrome. Always chose to be grateful and positive for everything in your life. Never focus on the past and never ever focus on what you don’t have.
