Testosterone supports cellular energy production by enhancing mitochondrial function and red‑blood‑cell formation.
When levels dip below 350 ng/dL, oxygen delivery falls, dopamine drops, and cortisol rises—leaving you wiped out even after 8 hours of sleep.
In the early weeks of your program—weeks 4 to 6—you’ll often see a 5–10 % boost in strength on key compound lifts as your muscles respond to increased testosterone and targeted training.
By weeks 8 to 12, most men can add 4–6 lbs of lean mass on a DEXA scan, reflecting real muscle growth rather than just water weight. And if you stay consistent out to month 6, you can expect a 10–15 % reduction in visceral fat, unlocking a leaner, more defined physique.
All of this assumes you’re eating in a modest 300 kcal surplus and following a progressive‑overload routine—meaning each workout nudges you just a bit further than the last.
Strength up 5–10 % in compound lifts
Visceral fat ↓10–15 %
These key markers help you and your clinician distinguish true hormonal deficiency from other factors. Fewer than three spontaneous morning erections per week is a strong sign of androgen deficiency, while a combination of reduced libido and increasing belly‑fat often points to low testosterone compounded by insulin resistance.
If your intimate relationships remain healthy but your interest wanes, psychological causes may be at play. Finally, definitive lab values—total T under 350 ng/dL or free T below 9 ng/dL—provide the objective confirmation needed to guide an effective treatment plan.

Studies show hypogonadal men add 4–6 lbs of lean mass in 12 weeks at therapeutic levels, assuming resistance training. Advanced lifters see smaller but still significant gains after long plateaus.
