Do you think the MMA fighters who used it (Couture, Henderson, Sonnen, Vitor, etc) had normal levels before TRT?
Or do you think it's more likely they really did have extremely low levels caused by prior steroid abuse?
I just don't see Dan Henderson as a roider in his younger days. I also don't see him as someone with naturally low T levels.
Chael I can definitely picture as someone who naturally had low testosterone. Just look and listen to him before 10 years ago. He seemed really devoid of any charisma, socially awkward, insecure, and way too self-serious.
PS - normal for one person can be super low for another. Take Chris Weidman....a few years ago, Weidman tested at around 300 to 400 ng/dl testosterone....he was only 30, or close to it...that is very low for a pro athlete in his (near) prime years. However, that was fine for him, whereas maybe a different fighter, who is much older, could test higher but feel worse.
IE- suppose a 45 year old athlete tests 550 ng. What if that fighter actually used to be in the 900s just 10 years ago? Wouldn't that fighter benefit from TRT?
