    Should I consider T replacement?

    Band training t least takes away from the space and equipment needs. But it does not change the absolute complete mind numbing repetition while looking at the same four walls. I cannot explain why swimming back and forth in a pool is no problem. But standing in a room even with other people...

    Interesting. I have never read of testosterone increases naturally by more than about 50 points total. You are saying by weight and training you increases withOUT T replacement by 400 points!

    Should I consider T replacement?

    Because I function fine. And I still have 10 times the sex drive of my wife. If I increase my T level I will have no place to go With any additional sex drive. It will only drive me crazy. When I was younger and had more drive it almost drove me insane. My wife was sexually traumatized and...

    Should I consider T replacement?

    I really don’t see how I could even fit in weight lifting. Nor afford any of the gyms/clubs around here. And I don’t have room in my house to buy weight equipment. I will exercise and do what I can. I guess everyone has a limit and weight lifting is a bridge too far for me. As you said we...

    Should I consider T replacement?

    Should I consider T replacement?

    The tadalafil was supposed to be 10 mg. I interval my swim. 100 yards 4 laps. My HR is nearly 90% of max. Followed by 60 second break. And repeat. 20 times. 2,000 yards which is over a mile in about 50 minutes.

    Should I consider T replacement?

    I started taking tadalafil. Is -0mg a day too much? How long will it take to notice any difference to know if it is working? What if I don’t notice any better erection quality? What would that suggest?

    Should I consider T replacement?

    Said above “Men below 550 ng/dL are 30% greater risk of full-blown heart attack and death by any cause.” THAT is very concerning. Can you point me to a few credible references that reaches that conclusion. I have also read stuff that says men who do replacement die sooner. So how do I really...

    Should I consider T replacement?

    I convert T4 to T3 very well. While only being 14% of the range of FT4 I am 45% of the range of FT3. I don’t have any typical hypo thyroid symptoms. I may ask the Dr for a bump in my dosage to 75mcg. But with my TSH (which is a junk test to adjust dosage with) at the doctors beloved 1.0. The...

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
