What are you trying to accomplish?

Myokines don't get much attention but are likely a big factor here as well. Muscles are effectively endocrine organs.

Regarding training, overtraining and short-term extreme goals are very stressful in themselves and can cause a lot of problems because the body is in a constant state of stress. I also think 18 months of consistency toward any goal is a good timeframe and mindset to have. I say 18 months because...

I used to come off of TRT for two months out of the year. Some things I learned that might be relevant for you. Don't expect to recover as quickly as you do on AAS. I would adopt a training protocol where you never do max effort reps and you may also want to go to a 9 day week for your training...

Where are you injecting? I have occasionally had something similar when injecting in stomach fat, but not in the shoulders.

Thanks for the report. Some things to consider... If you have access to a clinic that has a Hyperbaric Chamber, that can help with dizziness. The high pressure version is a standard treatment for people recovering from stroke, and a friend of mine who used it said it was the single biggest...

Ok, there are other things on the ED front like beet root powder for nitric oxide for example, however the libido issue sounds like you've overshot to the upside on some aspect of Testosterone, so letting it come down and then titrating up only if necessary and after libido has returned seems...

What else are you doing to prevent ED? That is one of the things T alone is least likely to fix, and in cases like yours where you are likely overdosed it can make it worse. Something in the Viagra family is an obvious first step but there are lots of other things as well.

When I looked into this, the affect of aspirin lasts for several days at least, so intermittent dosing makes sense. Also, from what I can tell, the bleeding risk is way overblown. People have been taking 81 per day for decades with no apparent issues. I take 325mg immediate release 2-3 times per...

Something I've observed that may be driving some of the "more is better" mentality is that many people (mostly men) do their gym protocols in a manner that essentially comes down to "try harder", which is what the 1-2 sets to failure approach boils down to. This will work to some degree for the...

So are you saying Oxandrolone suppresses estradiol (which I've never heard anyone else report) or that it suppressed your Testosterone and that in turn suppressed estradiol?

The anti-aging author and doctor, Dr. Sandra Kaufmann is a huge proponent of lithium. She covers it in one of her books I think and has spoken about it on several podcasts.

If one has both HCG and Kisspeptin on hand, is there a case for alternating them by injecting each once per week? Are they potentially doing similar but slightly different and complimentary/synergistic things?

An observation...There have been several posters here over the years (the most recent one was about a year ago I think) who reported excellent results injecting at very long intervals, every three weeks in one case I remember. Of course there were people here who said that couldn't be true, but...

I've had what could be a similar situation although I can't directly tie it to the HCG. I can definitely say that HCG does not necessarily rise E2. Mine was rock bottom for a while on test and HCG. I thought maybe something else was blocking aromatase like melatonin or Cialis, but maybe your...
