Interestingly, this was me at about that age, late teens. I felt like shit and looked it regardless of what I did. Had my T checked by my doc I was 405 ng/dl, he said that was fine. I was pretty fucking far from fine. Back then, 200 mg every 2 weeks of T, made a huge difference. I mean huge. Troll or not, 400 at age 17 is a problem. I would still try to figure out why before jumping on HRT and fix it, but if that's the only option, and he has to consider fertility, it will likely make a difference at many
So should I drop to 3-5 sets per body part per week? With very intense workouts?Before you said you were training Mentzer style, total muscle failure. Those programs were actually designed to be one set per body part and only one exercise, maybe two if you are split back into a width/thickness and legs into a quad/hamstrings. If you are truly taking each body part 6-8 sets to total muscle failure, you are overtraining. You had enough stimulus to grow in the first set if you prioritized your training correctly.
A bunch of us told you to train as hard and as frequent as you could recover, you are not recovering. A telltale sign is that your test continues to drop. But what do we know? This is just our job. Take a deload then maybe try doing less sets more frequently.
