Is TRT an anabolic steroid? Not really. Would I be barred from professional competition if I were to be found with elevated T, yes. "Steroid" is a really broad term, and truth be told I am not nearly enough of an expert to provide sound advice. Not to be a devils advocate pain in the butt, but my asthma medicine is technically considered a steroid in international competition, and I would actually die without the inhalers. The biggest distinction between "really dangerous" (what constitutes dangerous?) and not is that this was prescribed by a doctor and I had regular blood tests, and regular follow ups which many (most?) anabolic steroid users do not. I am in no position to provide medical advice to others. I made this post to see if others had similar effects.
