*UPDATE* 18 year old bodybuilder with low testosterone

[Alpin]

Words of advice.....
-Before meeting with this Doc next week. Do not call yourself a "bodybuilder with Low T"....(as you did in the headline of this thread)
-Do not tell them what to do, or what to test for or fixate on blood lab results on paper.
They will dismiss you and think you are thinking up too much on this subject.
Play cool, and go with the flow!!!!

Meet with him next week, just trying to gauge where I was at. I do find it odd, again, that it never came with any reference levels. I guess I'll just have to wait for that one. What do you think of the elevated IGF-1, linked to the adrenal glands?

I wouldn't stress about the IGF-1, as that can be influenced by a TON of factors. I'd worry more if it was on the low end. (Time of day, diet, exercise, medications can all affect levels.)

Solid advice.
