Does that apply if you get the T-HRT?

Does what?
Exogenous testosterone will compensate for quite a lot fitness-wise. Normally for natties there is a protein synthesis window where the function is most active, and I believe that is when sleeping. Other parts of the day like when awake the synthesis process is much less active
Exogenous test, no matter the dose, changes this. With that, protein synthesis is ALWAYS active, every hour of the day and night. It is not affected by a reduction in sleep or anything else that would hinder a natty’s progress. It also doesn’t require even as much total protein intake, because the process is going on all the time and at a significantly higher rate
So someone on TRT has huge advantages over a natural in terms of progress. If they stay at a normal therapeutic dose, they won’t be able to get massive bodybuilder results, they will still cap out slightly larger than they would if natural, assuming all things are perfect (training, diet, sleep)
In terms of performance the difference is not as huge, it’s more about gains/progress
What TRT will also do is change someone’s mood and brain. Especially with “maxed out” (at or slightly above the natural cap) testosterone, over time a person’s thoughts will change. Roid rage is a myth, but there will be a huge increase in confidence, energy, good feeling resulting from physical labor, a desire (even if out of character) to work out…basically a lot of little things one wouldn’t expect
Hormones have a very powerful effect on thoughts, which is why trans people like them so much for that. Taking TRT will make someone think more like a man, even if already a man
The downsides? Besides the cost, for some people they get a thickening of their blood. Not a huge deal and only affecting a small portion but if they get it they would need to donate or otherwise blood-let occasionally to mitigate it. Other people can get prostrate enlargement. Heart issues and blood pressure I really haven’t heard much about
