Should people weight training completely ignore AST and ALT, and simply look at the other liver markers instead? ALT & AST just seem unreliable for people doing weight training: https://blog.insidetracker.com/muscle-damange-to-blame-for-elevated-liver-enzymes...

I'm not sure why nobody talks about this, and I could only find a study replicating these results in pigs :) Anyway, a 5-7 day fast will result in a lasting increase in Ferritin due to the recycled iron in the body, no supplements, no blood donation madness, nothing, just don't eat for a week...

Good thinking, I tested it recently by accident: 2023-02-27: Hepatitis B Antigen = Negative Hepatitis C = Unreactive Started a new thread re AST & ALT being potentially BS markers, to avoid derailing this thread too much :)...

I agree with the others, my understanding is: 1) It must be refrigerated 2) If unopened and refrigerated: The expiry date = whatever the box says 3) Once opened and refrigerated: safe/effective until 60 days, you may be able to push it until 90, but that's about the max. If you travel anywhere...

Thank you for all the replies and ideas. So, I don't have all the results yet and I am not at my target body fat level, but I am close :) I was worried my E2 might be crashing due to the 2mg of Anastrozol / week (TT), but somehow it is still at a healthy 40, so that's OK. The % body fat is a...

This is an open challenge to explore the possibility of walking the enhanced boundaries, while keeping absolutely all possible negative TOT side effects in check, especially anything related to health. The main question I am trying to answer via blood work, BP measurements, WIP lifestyle...

Interesting! Ovitrelle just changed the pen format, so maybe I can do what you say! I was so pissed they changed it, as the "insulin syringe way" was what I did for 5 years and the new pens are way more cumbersome than the old ones to use. So, I'll check when I get the next batch as "around...

In case it helps anybody: For European folks working with ampules and Ovitrelle, the most convenient way to inject HCG is to do what I have done for 5 years with excellent results, simply combine the HCG shot into the T shot (credit to Nelson for the original idea when I started TRT) by adding...

For a long time, I've seen many experts say TSH should be around 1-2 or 1-1.5. In my blood work, my TSH is always higher and I have a tendency to gain fat easily. Before messing with meds, I decided to try Beef Thyroid supplements a shot, to try to see if this could make any difference to get...

I'm slowly making some progress: 7 days into a prolonged fast, I've dropped ~10kg (mostly water, yes), and morning BP is consistently around 120/70 (last 3 days). Waist is 114cm from 120cm before, and I'm using a bit of cold (not moving much, but minimally dressed) to speed up the fat loss...

Thanks for all the links & tips Quick update: The cardiologist put me on torsemide 10mg (a diuretic) on Monday, his reasoning being to "aim to have a daily average blood pressure of 120/80", he refused to provide a prescription for Nebivolol 5mg as it would "only drop BP by 6 points, which is...

This thread is about how to improve Ejection Fraction and reduce LVH. TRT does not directly cause LVH, in fact there are millions of average people, NOT on TRT who have LVH, even athletes, from Nelson himself: "Most athletes that do not use testosterone or nandrolone have LVH. Anything that...

It turns out I had crazy high blood pressure (170/100), likely for months, too much caffeine, stress and I'm 125kg/275 pounds / 192cm/6'4, 44 years old. Last week a cardiologist put me on Dipperam 5+160 (5mg Amlodipine + 160mg Valsartan), using this first once a day and after 2 days moved on to...

Recently I have started getting accidental ejaculations during heavy deadlifts, usually after rep 6 with 120kg or so, with each rep I have a feeling as if I was peeing (no, no pleasure at all), but it's really semen. This happens EVERY week, regardless of anything else going on in the love life...

Yes, collagen will do little/nothing for muscle growth, whey and casein are king for that. re joint health: According to the studies in her page it seems at least 10 weeks (~3 months) are required for changes to become measurable/noticeable? My wife and I are going to try this, but I don't...
