    DHB (1-test cyp) solo, would it be worth doing?

    Good to know. Thank you so much! I've been using my trt testosterone which is 160 mg a week. Been using DECA as an add-on for almost 10 years now. 300 Deca a week. Take them together in two injections a week. At 300 mg a week, Deca is great for my joints, keeps some nice muscle mass on. The only...

    DHB (1-test cyp) solo, would it be worth doing?

    Just checking on this thread from 4 years ago. Anyone here have any updates? Have you used DHB alongside your TRT protocol? I've been using low dosed Deca for a long time now - thinking about trying DHB alongside the TRT instead of Deca. Let me know your experiences with this. Thanks in...

    Cable Machine Workouts: Exercises Can Develop the Body Fully and Safely

    Very interesting! I've been seeing more and more of these theories that movements we used to consider as "isolated" movements were less responsive and we're meant for "finishing" and tone, whereas the compound movements we're the real "builders" of muscle bellies. Doug Brignole has a variety of...

    Cialis effect on estrogen

    Seems like Tadafil along with the AI has tanked my E2. I have been taking Tadafil 10mg daily maint dose for a little over two years. I was also taking prescribed AI, twice weekly. My 6 month lab review just a few weeks ago shows my E2 has crashed to almost zero.......my symptoms are achy knees...

    Low Dose Accutane for TRT Acne

    Acne is so frustrating while on TRT! I'm thinking of trying "off label" therapy with Accutane - micro-dosing with just 10mg of generic accutane every other day. One of the problems I see is my "go to" overseas pharmacy (All Day Chemists and ReliableRX) do not carry generic accutane. Has...

    Propecia (Finasteride) for Acne Control?

    Well if I had stopped reading the internet four years ago (I was self diagnosing) I wouldn't have taken the plunge with TRT four years ago, and would not have found this board four years ago. I submit to continue to read and research and "self diagnose" but use your team (your physicians, your...

    Estradiol at 55.8 (range 8-35). What should I do?

    I had the same issues when I first started four years ago. I started without the AI for the first 12 weeks. Took about 12 to 16 weeks for everything to get dialed in. How long have you been taking the AI? Your body may "adjust" with your current protocol in just a few more weeks. Watch your...

    Propecia (Finasteride) for Acne Control?

    Have any of you guys used Finasteride specifically for acne treatment? The theory being reducing DHT production, thus reducing the cystic acne. For me, it seems like the acne comes and goes......thus far no matter the treatment. When I have the bad breakout on my back, the discoloration from...

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
