3-4 months. Been stretching and modified workouts. Left arm totally healed but right arm not improved at all

I have really bad tennis elbow from lifting weights. Been stretching and apply heat to help heal it but arm is still garbage. Lifting sucks since I can't do much...all gripping causes it to flare up. I was thinking about trying a peptide GH or anything at this point to try and heal it up...

I tried mk-677 for a month and gained 10 lbs of water weight...freaked me out so stopped taking.

FYI When I was doing IM my total test was around 700. I switched to SubQ and my levels jumped to 950 on same dosage. Plus I feel better Make sure if you do subq to inject slowly and massage the area after the shot

So I am thinking of maybe just drop it to .5 2x a week for 6 weeks, then get tested through discountlabs to see what is going on. Also it will give me time to hopefully boost my sex drive

"Why did you increase Adex :o ?" My Doctor told me to

It was at 27 sensitive taking .5 2x week. After taking 3 .5 mg AI my sensitive went to 17 Also on 180 mg Test broken into 3 shots per week

Lance, I am taking .5mg Adex 3x a week and have zero sex drive...wondering how is your sex drive with no AI?

Tom What peptides are you using? I have been using iPam/CJC...going to do a blood test in a month or so to see if it is really working.

norenred I am a fast metabolizer of T as well. Consider moving to subq injections. My T jumped up as a result

Hey Throwback! bodybuilder and powerlifter as well. Few years ago did my 'last' show, used AAS over those years and never really recovered my hormones after... TRT is got me feeling much better and with Dr monitoring I can sleep at night not worrying all the time. LOL

Vince, My DHT hit 290 in same ref range of (16-79) and I was a horn dog! "Dihydrotestosterone (DHT, 5α-dihydrotestosterone, 5α-DHT) is an androgen (male hormone). Specifically it's the strongest of the androgens" http://www.anabolicmen.com/dihydrotestosterone/

karma22, Try cream 20% (200 mg) on your scrotum. I got my DHT really high, which I believe will help drive sex drive. At least it did for me, however, my total T never got above 500 with cream. I notice my sex drive is less with Test Cyp, but workouts stronger, tightness to muscles...My...

Yes, reach out to Defy Medical, they will work with you on bringing H&H down and keep you on Test.

ah! that makes sense, I was wondering why sex drive sux now...I take Armidex .5 3x week. I will take a few weeks off and see how I feel. I need to call Defy anyways b/c Armidex is tearing up my stomach and intestines. Major cramping...need an alternative. I know in past when using AAS I used...

Ratio? My last blood was total T 980 Sensitive E 17. Is this a good ratio? Muscles feel good and workouts great but libido has dropped off a lot

At the higher test level do you feel better or do you think b/c the E being low you feel the same?

Welcome aboard chjaobs!

DLK, I think it is standard policy that good Dr will try and restart T through other methods. I was put on HCG for one month before Dr decided that I needed T

I dipped Kodiak for 15 years and was able to quit (final time - going on 10 year now) by joining a support group. Sounds silly but it worked great for me

"The study also found that men who were treated but did not attain normal levels did not see the same benefits as those whose levels did reach normal" I wonder if by 'normal' it is in the normal range i.e. labcorp 350-1150 range or in the ideal range of 700-800?

canatct Thanks for that information. I am switching back to IM shoulder to see how I feel. I just know that at near max dosage my Total T is real low, as my SHBG is also low, but the higher free T does not seem to make a great deal of difference on how I feel. I know when I used 500 mg per...

libido drop, tightness in muscles...little things but noticeable. I take tape measurements and lost 1/4" on most muscle groups...could be water, but only thing that has changed is SubQ vs IM. Diet/macros/calories are all the same...same workout, etc

I switched to SubQ about 3 weeks ago and have lost a little bit of muscle, plus am not feeling the effects of T as much (60 mg - 3x week). I wonder if due to genetics or the fact that I am a fast metabolizer of T it is better to do IM again? The obvious solution is to go back to Nelsons...

Vince, Just curious if you were on a high dose. I am on 180 a week but Hematocrit was 44 at last blood draw...I am wondering if it has anything to do with dosage or maybe genetics.

DLK/Vince, If you Hemocrit is over 52% they will not accept donation

Vince, What is your amount of T per week you use? Just curious as that is a pretty high level. Has it every been that high before? How long you been on TRT? Jay

Brian, I am in the same boat. My BP jumped to 140/90 when starting TRT 8 months ago and was still that high till last month started taking Carditone and it dropped it right away to 120/70. Not sure how safe it is but it does work wonders and no prescription

E2 is 27 - One .5 Armidex 3 x week I do 3 shots of 60mg per week. Dunno, it is weird my total T is so low. Dr. says I am a fast metabolizer of T. Kinda sux. Not feeling all the benefits of T.

Vince, I am in the low SHBG camp (I take 180 mg a week and total T is 425, free 21). What are symptoms of high E2?

Huh, so your Total T is still exactly 550? If it were me I would not go the TRT route just yet. Actually, not sure a Dr would at that level. You could try clomid or HCG to boost your natural T production....Also vit. D can help as well.
