    Help identifying this arm injury??

    Wow, this is pretty ironic. I have the exact same injury right now. It sounds like it could be a combination of a brachial radialis tear and cubital tunnel syndrome. There is no way to tell unless you see an orthopedic specialist. I suggest you do that as soon as possible. You can work around...

    Does arthritic elbow mean I can't lift weights?

    Guided by Voices nailed it. I would add that using loop style bands for painful movements and some minor adjustments can make a huge difference in maintaining muscle and even building some after injury.

    Can an older man still build muscle while taking statins?

    No, I am not on statins. My doctor said it would be a possibility, but gave me pretty stupid reasons for that. My blood work was fine but he said because I am a male and over 65 it was suggested. I talked to my TRT provider and he told me there was no downside and that it would be preventative...

    Can an older man still build muscle while taking statins?

    It looks like this thread has devolved into one that discusses heart issues. To answer your question about building muscle, I think the answer is that this depends. I am 71 next month and what I am finding is that it is not possible, at least for me, to build mass. Orthopedic issues make it a...

    AGE SPECIFIC CALCULATED FREE TESTOSTERONE RANGES IN ADULT MEN

    My results for Free T were 1.16 ng/dl. I am 70. Anyone know where this would place me? My total testosterone is always at the top of the range and my free is always mid range. I am trying boron supplementation to raise it.

    Low free testosterone. Any suggestions?

    I was recently suggested Boron, approximately 5 mg., daily to increase Free T by my clinic. I haven’t done any bloodwork as yet. It also has a positive benefit on joint pain, which I am noticing.

    Testosterone Therapy (TTh) - How To Treat - Abraham Morgentaler

    I have been a patient at his clinic in Boston since 2016. He recently sold his practice but is still affiliated with them. This is the exact protocol that I started on in 2016. I was started at .05 and was allowed to bump it up as I felt necessary. The theory that the clinic uses, which is...

    Objective Evidence for PSSD - Sexual Dysfunction

    I agree 100%. I’ve been practicing psychotherapist for the past 25 years and I see a laziness in people when it comes to improving their situation. It is a combination of laziness and the idea that a pill can fix everything. Pharmaceutical companies are not the only culprit in this, the modern...

    New Blood Work - Can someone review it and tell my why im impotent -Updated with bloodwork

    Got to agree. You are allowing a fixable medical problem to ruin your life because of a fear of needles. You are also pretty depressed, my friend, and the negative loop of thoughts in your head is certainly not helping. Trimix could give you the confidence you need in the bedroom as well as in...

    Unbelievable email exchange with Jay Campbell

    Campbell’s book, especially his second, where very helpful to me when I started TRT. I also haven’t paid attention to him in years. Something is not right with the guy. Attia is an MD who gives sound clinical advice and cites studies that are well researched to back his opinions. Campbell...
