Hi Guys,
To my way of thinking, going on HT is like a 'reverse puberty', take away the testosterone and you revert to your boyhood, its a slow gradual thing, but I found myself drinking less beer and eating more chocolate.
My muscles didn't actually waste, but they became less pronounced and I found lifting weights more difficult, the hairs on my arms, legs and chest diminished.
I think there is also a psychological effect, it might be because I had grandchildren to play with, but I found myself getting interested in train sets, I even bought some Airfix kits on eBay. Of course once I had made them, in the hands of my 3 year old grandson, the Airfix planes didn't last quite as long as the real ones had lasted over Bremen, heavy flak is nothing compared to what a 3 year old can dish out!
But it's a year since I stopped HT, every day I am growing stronger, the hairs on my legs are getting thicker, one tip, I read somewhere that apple peel contains some vital nutrients that maintain muscle mass in the elderly, so don't peel your apples.
And I have got some unmade Airfix kits in the shed, now I am off HT I have 'grown up' again, and will give the kits to my grandson when he is old enough to make them.
:)
