Paraphrasing from a recent conversation with a man who has decided he will become a client in the near future:
===
“I really respect your commitment to doing things naturally.
I worked with a PT before and was really disappointed to find out he was on TRT. I don’t want to go anywhere near that stuff, so it’s great to find someone to learn from who thinks the same”.
===
A discerning gentleman if ever there was.
Although not everyone thinks like him. Actually, I’d go so far as to say his is a minority view, given how widespread TRT abuse is these days.
Truth be told, I was surprised by the torrent of bile I received when I “came out” as staunchly against the use of steroids, testosterone replacement therapy, and other PEDs. It even cost me a few friends – including one that I believed was a friend for life.
On the other hand, I’ve a few friends who take it for legitimate medical purposes who are completely fine with my stance, which isn’t at all surprising for reasons I shall now mansplain:
First, I’m not disputing that men who take TRT have legitimate and distressing symptoms associated with low testosterone.
However.
It’s a whole lot easier to pop a needle in your bottom than it is to do the difficult work of truly sorting out your training, diet, and lifestyle which, ultimately, is why these guys go and find a doctor who is willing to write them a script for some test.
“But Phil – you’re not a doctor! How dare you question their judgement!”
Cometh the inevitable objection.
It’s true. I’m not a doctor nor do I profess to be one.
I do possess eyes, ears, and a brain, though and I can’t help but notice that doctors are living, breathing, people just like you and me.
Ergo, they are not some sinless priestly class who are immune from the fleshy motivations that drive us mere laity.
Like profit.
Then there are times when it’s just easier to write the prescription than say “no” and risk a complaint.
I’m also sure there are doctors out there who believe giving TRT for aesthetic purposes is fine and dandy. Much like how those creepy medics gave all sorts of experimental hormones to kids, as highlighted by the recent Cass Review.
Patients ain’t saints, either.
I know for a fact that some will lie to get what they want. (Something I encountered not-infrequently during my time as a paramedic).
Indeed, there are online communities full of people who are ready and waiting to tell men exactly what to say to get the gear.
Oh sure, they still have to have clinically low testosterone to get a prescription – but by the time they’ve had the bloods and whatnot, inertia is such that they get the drugs or else find themselves under the care of a physician who doesn’t want to push back and tell them to sort their life out and maybe get some therapy to deal with their frightful relationship with mortality.
Anyway.
My point is a simple one.
If you want to take TRT for aesthetic purposes, fine.
I think yours is a morally repugnant choice and I’d rather you didn’t have the option, but ours is a degenerate society so it’s not like anyone is going to stop you.
However, if that is your decision then you are most unwelcome in my World.
My “No Tolerance Zero Drugs” policy ain’t no joke.
I’d make a lot more money if I didn’t have it, but my morals are not for sale.

P.S. Below just some of what’s included in June’s issue:
* A quick and simple way to select your dumbbell, machine, cable, and/or bodyweight work – so you will never again find yourself unsure of what to do, or, worse, grinding out your fifth drop set with “help” from a muscular stranger as he screams “IT’S ALL YOU, BRO!”.
* The approach to dumbbell, machine, and bodyweight training that makes the difference between the men who make sustainable progress and the men complaining about their aching shoulders, wrists, backs, hips, and knees.
* What I believe is the best set and rep scheme for building muscle. (I’ve tried basically everything at this point and nothing comes close to this in terms of practicality and effectiveness).
* A little “extra” workout you can slot in to get shoulders like boulders in double-quick time.
* The straightforward way to get frighteningly good at pullups and dips. (Probably the least flashy way to do it, but if you’re more interested in getting results than you are in being entertained, this method is right up your alley).
* How I used my misogyny to craft a shockingly effective way to slap on a bunch of muscle very rapidly indeed. (This probably made the single biggest difference to my physique in all my fifteen years of continuous training).
* A workout you can use to tide yourself over when you’re working long hours, travelling, or otherwise unable to find the time for your usual sessions.
* Why sometimes the best way to build muscle is to not do anything at all.
* The exact system I once used to do full body workouts six days per week for six months. (Not something I recommend 99% of people even try – nor do you have to to reap profound benefit from the system as its ingenious structure means it works just as well for the man who doesn’t want his life to revolve around training).
