Damn transdermal vehicle.
My god, strong correlation with fractures. That’s a bit alarming considering the high physical activity that we keep in our lives as enthusiastic bodybuilders.
I skimmed the article, thanks for posting
@Bagua. I don't know anything about test making your bones weaker, I have read many articles about Primo making your bones stronger. Exercise in general will increase your bone density tests. I know a lot of elderly people who walk/run and nothing else. They are in their 70's and have the bones from the waist down of a 40 year old but their upper body bone density is low or they are more apt to have a fracture or injury confirmed by a bone density test.
The docs prescribe supplements like calcium/magnesium/vit D. The odd thing is not one doc that I know of (I only know 6 people personally who went through this and they are between 40 and their late 70's) told them to include weight training albeit low weight and increase slowly especially with all the studies showing the improvement in life/happiness in the elderly who lift weights. Even swimming provides resistance and will help strengthen your bones.
I suspect it is a product of low bone density / no exercise to becoming more active and with that activity it brings falls, and exercise fractures from weights/other forms of exercise. Maybe someone else has a different perspective and I am very interested.
My friend who is 52 never exercises, is overweight but not obese, and is sore all the time. She fell twice - just minor falls and had two fractures. This was considered abnormal as she just lost her balance and it was a minor fall catching herself and stopping the fall with her hands. She finally had a bone density test and it was determined she has the bone density of someone 20-30 years older that she is. No surprise to me - she is lazy and eats too much for someone who never exercises.
The first thing that came to mind was what
@Rolls roydz said if I understood what you said correct - if you were truly low test and got a prescription you may recall the increase in sexual desire, ability to exercise, well being etc. - if you had minor depression and couldn't heal properly before. The years of low test then put you in a normal range and then throw in exercise (pending it isn't something light like swimming) - I would be surprised if there weren't more injuries including fractures.
I did not read this word for word - I admit I am half asleep so feel free to correct my comments.
, it is too high the percentage.
with this.
