Guys your competing against for a spot and scholarship are using, the teams your playing against are using and it was pretty much standard to be on a low dose of test, at the minimum. Competition is the driving force for this, and always will be. I'm sure other people have had similar scenarios, this was just my personal experience.
It's also not illegal, and there are more than a handful of gentlemen on this site that are >30 and on some form of TRT/HRT (doctor supervised supplementation).

So, you're saying that because everyone does it, it's okay? Then why have testing at all? How are you on Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire and Roger Clemons for the Hall of Fame? How you feel about the shit that Armstrong just went through? Are you writing letters to Selig telling him to reinstate Alex Rodiguez? I'm assuming you are on their side, correct?
And just because a doctor prescribes it doesn't make it cool, especially if you are using that prescription for something other than what it was originally intended. Being over 30 and using that as an excuse for doing a "legal" T-stack so you can look good and get big lifts working out versus actually needing it because of unnaturally low occurring testosterone levels is two completely different things. And, yeah, the doctor doesn't really give a rats ass either way as long as he's getting his comps from the pharmaceutical companies. Viagra anyone? Just because you got it from a guy in a lab coat versus some sweaty swole dude's fanny pack in the gym locker room doesn't make it different if you are using for the exact same purpose.
Live Strong bro.
