Can't hurt me by David Goggins, is the answer to all your problems. Audio book > written

All of your issues point towards simply not training long enough. If you're already working out, then consider adding on extra cardio volume. The other potential is that you're training too late or too hard. I would also dig into your diet but if you're on trt and not doing atleast 1hr of...

Pin daily and you will likely see a fair sized drop in E2. When you're injecting such small volumes you can go down to a 25-27ga needle, only needs be 0.5-0.75" long (depending how lean you are). Alternate deltoids daily. Good work losing some weight! Keep at it, build it into your lifestyle...

It seems as though a large data point is being left out. Caloric expenditure. If you're an endurance athete expending 2000-3000calories per day in the form of exercise, would 1g/lbs. Protein even be enough? Just some food for thought.

I drink 600mL immediately upon awaking I drink about 1.5L per day during my 2 hours of cardio training 500mL about an hour before bed During the day i try to always have water with me, and i drink it freely as i get thirsty, hungry, or even just bored Just thinking alloud here, seems like i...

Thanks for the replies and advice. The only reason it gave me any concern was that my body has a tendency to retain water. If i don't control the amount, and type of carbohydrates that i eat, i bloat up very quickly, which also leads to my blood pressure raising. Currently i have my diet dialed...

Gents, Have been on testosterone cypionate injections for five weeks. I inject 33mg, three times per week (mwf), for a total of 100mg weekly. As you can see from my test results, my e2 is out of range. Further that, the canadian recommended uppper limit seems quite high itself. From some short...

Vince: Your logic is sound, and i do understand that attempting a restart after a year of trt is foolish at best. The issue is, my docotor has been slowly increasing my thyroid dose thus my hypotyroidism is not yet fully corrected. I'm also attempting to recover extremely low vitamin D + zinc...

Hcg was not prescribed. He offered it as an alternative treatment (with clomipene) to testosterone but i declined, in favour of trt. I may try to restart my natural test in about a year. Do you think that it would be wise to cylce hcg now, or just wait until cessation of testosterone? The...

Just wanted to follow up. I went back to my doctor this week and requested testosterone injections. I was anticipating resistance to the idea but the doctor was very open. He was however inexperienced with the injectable test, as he only prescribes the cream, which he tells me works for %97 of...

Hey! I was actually reading through yout epic thread last week, couldn't put the phone away. I completely forgot that you tried the cream route and crashed your natural T. Seems like for awhile there if it wasn't for bad luck you wouldn't have any! Very glad to hear that you are doing much...

Thanks for the prompt reply. This is what i had expected, inability to absorb. I suppose now i just have to bring this up with the docotor. Maybe i can get away with another visit in as soon as a month.

Good day Gents I ran a few different search queries looking for this topic but to my suprise came up empty. I started trt approximately three months ago. My total testosterone was around 150ng/dl, and i had all the common symptoms, lack of libido and extreme low energy being the most...

Great post. We are always walking a fine line, with soo many factors which all have some degree of influence over each other. This has answered some questions for me. Thank you
