Competing in the 1980s in bodybuilding contests, veteran John Hansen doesn’t hesitate to give his real opinion on controversial statements. Recently, Hanson stated his firm beliefs about TRT in a recent conversation with Samir Bannout and Nicholas  Trigili.

Reacting to Nicholas Trigili’s view that TRT had benefits, the 3-time Natural Universe winner didn’t hold himself back.

Hansen made these admissions in the Muscle Maturity Podcast, episode 39.

Implying how men need to consider whether the use of TRT will positively affect the quality of their life, Hansen also disclosed whether he takes TRT.

Responding to Trigili’s view that there is nothing wrong with taking TRT if it makes you feel young and healthy, Hansen expressed, “I agree, there is nothing wrong with taking it.” He further added, “I mean if you want to feel good and have a better quality of life, I don’t think you have to be at death’s..death’s bed you know before you can take it.” Continuing, he told how if one’s testosterone is 200, using TRT, one can get it to 800. Further, he said, “Why not live a better quality of life and enjoy life”, indicating his firm belief that TRT can help people to enhance their life.

Later, Hansen also questioned the trend of people waiting till they are 80 years old to take TRT, further sharing his view that people should take TRT whenever they need it. With this, the bodybuilding veteran also admitted to taking TRT for 4 or 5 years. Hansen is not the only bodybuilder to admit to taking TRT.
