What benefits, specifically for fitness and weight loss, would TRT provide over something like enclomiphene?

AlphaMD's Answer


TRT has 2 distinct benefits over enclomiphene when it comes to fitness.

  1. TRT users do not have the diurnal drop in testosterone levels like those with naturally produced testosterone. Do this means that testosterone levels stay high throughout the entire day and night. Ultimately, this means that your anabolic 24/7 whereas those who have naturally produced testosterone drop on average 30%. This means that you lose some of the anabolic benefits 12 hours a day when using enclomiphene.
  2. Enclomiphene blocks production of IGF-1, a very potent growth hormone necessary for both muscle gain and fat loss. TRT actually increases IGF-1 production, essentially doubling its anabolic effect over enclomiphene in this regard.
