I hear ya . . . everybody's situation is unique. Gotta tell you though, you don't sound waaay overweight to me, 5"11 and 227 isn't that bad, especially if you're muscular the way you contend. Sure, losing 20 lbs would help (isn't that true for most people?), but I'd think you could do that...

Against my better judgement, my wife took it for a few months. She did lose weight, but looked sick while doing it. I finally got her to quit . . . yes, she gained most of the weight back. But she has since adopted a healthier lifestyle and her weight is coming down . . . the right way. I'm...

Likely due to variations in measuring techniques vs. self reporting

You seem like a very pleasant young guy, so I don't want to appear critical or mean when I say that you should explore lifestyle changes before screwing with your body chemistry, especially when you're only 21 years old. It's wise to view the body as a temple that has the innate ability to heal...

I wanted to give this Creatine supplement a try and was just looking yesterday at it. I was going to go with a different brand, since my initial reaction was that Allmax seems to be overselling . . . but, if it's good enough for Madman, then it's good enough for me. If I start the next week or...

I've been on T enanthate for almost two years, and I inject every 4 days. I struggled with higher hematocrit and hemoglobin (h&h) for most of that time. Like many I started to lift weights to develop some upper body mass. In doing so I read that I've got to eat more protein to assist the...

Well, I did groan. But I'm going to try it . . .

I'm 69 and have been on 63mg/week TE only for 1.5 years. It helped me with what I needed it for; I had excess fatigue on exertion and didn't like the fact that I was losing muscle. I lost 35 lbs and became more muscular. Obviously I don't care about fertility, and I wasn't overly concerned if...

Hey Vince, Cataceous implied that a loss of penile sensitivity could be the result of excess T. I've always reacted very strongly to small doses of anything, and my 63mg week of Enanthate still gets me to a slight excess of the normal upper limit of free T. I thought I read at one time that...

Before TRT I could orgasm at least twice in a row; after TRT I could only do it once. It's a good one, but that's it till the next day (or two). I think it has something to do with a reduction of penile sensitivity.

Hey Jim, you sound like you're handling the Afib pretty well. I gather that you think like I do . . . that I don't want to get my T levels too high because that might trigger Afib and blood clots. Mid range, as you say, is smart. But I don't understand the relevance of MVC levels . . . can...

100 reps per set! I read that this afternoon and decided to try that, but only with 50 reps. I split my exercise days into pulling and pushing days. So I was doing curls, rowing, lat pull downs etc. I also work my forearms hard on those days. Anyway, I finished the high rep workout and then...

Hey brother, good to hear from you. Yeah, Covid was a b-tch, some people got lucky, some didn't. You sound like you're doing pretty well, and you're lifting some good weight. I'll be 70 next February, and I've been thinking about how I'm going to approach old(er) age. I see so many of my...

I always get great help here . . . I'm 69 and have been on TRT for 1.5 years. I love it, it helps me exercise hard and I have much less aches and pains and fatigue than I used to. During that time I went from a sloppy 250lbs to a hard 215lbs (I'm 6'3). In December last year shortly after a bad...

That's unfortunate, and I feel badly for you. I'm not a doctor, just a fellow TRT patient. Regarding the TRT, does it have to be an all or nothing proposition? It's true that we all want to have T levels at the upper part of the spectrum, but if it were me and I had to make changes, I'd rather...
