I'll stay away from the ice. For so many years I inhaled on the quick negative movement, and inhaled with exertion. Now if I lower the weight to a count of 4, I discovered my breathing got all screwed up, ha! I'm still deciding whether I go one long exhale, or fit an inhale breath in there...

This is old thread . . . I did go on T enanthate (TE) at that time and it was/is much, much better than the gel. Basically it works, where the gel didn't. I inject once every four days (easy to do, just have a calendar handy); I used a 5/8" 27G needle from Sol M for the longest time, injected...

Hey Guided, this is fantastic information, more than I could have hoped for. I'll start with the non-invasive suggestions and then work my way up from there. I lifted weights at various times in my life, never seriously, just Joe Weider garage stuff. But one thing I always seemed to believe is...

I use the Hikma brand. I started about a year ago on the Delatestryl and liked it a lot, no side effects. Then a few months after I started they discontinued Delatestryl, which was disappointing to me. But I replaced with the Hikma brand and I don't notice any difference, seems to be pretty...

Hi, I'm 69 and started lifting some weights when I started T a year ago, but stopped soon after. I thought I had started too fast and given myself a case of tennis elbow. I gave it 7 months of rest; it got a bit better so I started lifting again. I've been lifting about 5 months and have made...

Short term gain vs long term pain. C'mon Systemlord, there are limitations to every statement; for example, can a chronic pain sufferer be allowed to dose until "they feel their best"? If so, you know what happens . . . You need both forms of feedback; you need to listen to what your body...

Exactly. And in layman's terms . . . because many men, especially older men, have compromised "this and that", juicing yourself with excess hormones will/can backfire in ways that you're guaranteed not to like. At my highest 84mg/wk dose, measured in the trough, my TT was 29.5 (8.4-28.8) and...

I'd go back to the endo. I'm 69 and scored high TT and FT (in excess of the normal range) on 84 mg T enanthate. I then had a TIA, which many suggest could be related to excess T from TRT for older men. Realizing that I was playing with fire, I've since reduced my dose, which still leaves me...

I think the A-Fib has gone away since reducing the dose, but as always things are hard to say. After the TIA, I was required to wear a holter heart monitor 24 hours a day for two weeks (what a hassle . . .). During that time, they later told me that I had 2 episodes of A-Fib; one lasted 30...

I'm 69 and started out very conservatively at 70mg/wk. I had OK results, but impatience drove me to boost myself to 84mg/wk (where . . . "yes, I felt better"). After 3 months of that, my TT was 29.5 nmol/L (8.4 to 28.8) and my FT was 744 pmol/L (179-475) - both much too high. Clearly I'm a...

I thought I'd update my story thus far. After trying the 16 units and realizing that the effect was much like what I was getting when I took only 8 units (except for the extended duration), I started to feel my success with the Trimix would not be dose dependent. It did feel very much like a...

You shouldn't immediately make the assumption that whatever ails you is tied to this point where you're getting your T dialed in. You may have something entirely different going on . . . because of that you should get a complete workup with your doctor. Night sweats can be caused by many...

I had a problem with sore joints when I first started TRT; I started in too quickly, and then you get sore. I learned a few things though, aside from taking your time getting into it and then a long, slow warm up. I discovered that the solution to my shoulder problems and all the popping and...

Update, tried 13 units a couple of days ago; same 8.5 max erection as when I tried 11 previously. Went away in 3 hours. But disturbingly, I note that unless the physical stimulation is constant, it starts to lose pressure and soften to a 7.5 or 7. I had the same problem with Viagra. Could...

Tried 11 units today; it was pretty good with a 8.5/10 erection, I think I'm finally getting close to my ideal dose. It also stuck around for about 3 hours afterwards in the form of a softer but not yet bendable erection. Next time I'll try 13 units; it could be that I settle eventually around...
