I am not sure what the risks are between both. They both have pros and cons and individual. Personally , the shallow IM like I am doing in my Delts have been great aside from this wacky incident today. Just easier compared to glute IM with larger gauge that I used to do. I mean glute was fine...

Thanks. Good news. The lump totally went away after 30 minutes. No bruising or pain. Weird First time when it happens instant bump...I was like WTF is that. I also do shallow IM not SubQ. I am lean in my Delts at least o thought I was. Lol

Hey Team. So did my regular Monday test cyp shot. 42mg using Easy Touch 28 gauge 1/2’ into my right deltoid. I have been doing the deltoids for a while now with no issues rotating. So this morning when I injected I noticed after withdrawing an immediate bump formed. There was some blood drip...

I am on Test cyp and on 500iu a week of HcG ( been on for 2 plus years) . Had a semen analysis done in Feb at the IVF clinic, and my analysis is normal with the exception of morphology which was slight below. Numbers were not super awesome but within range and good candidate for IVF along with...

Yes..I see some of the parallels. For some people it is a game changer and others not so much. That is why I like this forum and you get to hear a lot of different stories. Like you I assume , I built up my natural base a long time ago in my twenties. I have been at it for like 30 years...

Thanks for the reply. I’ve never had my SHBG checked in the 2 1/2 years since on TRT. At this point I am not concerned about that metric as my total test, free test and other basic health markers have been solid during this time period even with the dose changes periodically. I feel and look...

Hi. I do not have a SHBG to share. In a previous thread I talked about this and I am not worried about that metric as I can make a good assumption it is on the lower end based off my total and free T levels at the dose I am running. My body seems to respond well.

Hi, appreciate the feedback. No! The Dr O’Connell video had no hand in this. I am just simply experimenting with lower doses. Nothing to do with pandemic or that jazz. My previous dose 0.6ml/week, had me at the slightly high end of Total T and Free T. So just seeing how the 0.4ml/week has me...

No ! I am not self medicating from the medication standpoint. I get the medication ( Test & HcG ) thru a clinic. The adjustment , I did on my own accord. I am not concerned with my E2. It’s elevated as expected being on TRT but not crazy. I do not use an AI anymore.

No doubt. I have a buddy running 1500 of test and 750 eq. Love the guy but straight up addict. That’s just plain nuts. I would be afraid to run anything above 200mg. But our goals are different. I hate when I hear peeps on forums or podcasts saying they are running TRT doses then they say 500mg...

Thanks for the input. My levels were as follows on 0.6ml per week. Regarding the mass comment I made, that is one of the effects of TRT along with all the other great benefits. Testosterone is a steroid as you know and on TRT we are just taking low end levels of steroids. Let’s be honest. All...

Thanks Vince. When all the gyms closed I immediately purchased Perfect push grip handles and a pull up bar that wedges into the doorway. We already had a small set of dumbbell pairs up to 25lb and a lone 35lber. I also ordered the Bowflex adjustable dumbells up to 52lbs but they never arrived...

Thanks for the input. I dropped from approx .6ml 126/130mg of test to .4ml 86/90mg four weeks ago. I think I am going to continue thru rest of April and reevaluate in May.

Hey gang. Just curious. Most of us are 4 weeks into lockdown. I have not been to the gym in 4 weeks and like most, I am working out at home. I just do pull ups and push ups and some db exercises with 25lb pair. upper day and lower day. I also try and jog/walk 2-3 miles 2-3 times a week which is...

Yes.

I do 250 iu of HcG twice a week and on TRT. No AI for a while now. My TRT dose is now only 84mg/week. I do 0.2ml twice a week now. My vial is a 210mg/ml. 10 ml. Before I reduced my test I was doing approx 120-130mg of test per week no AI. Here were my last results from March 5.

Had to lighten the mood. Stay safe gang.

I have issues with meniscus on both knees. One for sure is torn via MRI. the other pretty sure it is torn as well, didn’t need an MRI you can tell when it’s torn. This was years ago. No surgery to date. I’ve just modified my training over the years and don’t do lots of recreational stuff like...

Yep. That is a nice set up and pretty much what I mentioned. Since I like pull ups I would likely skip the lat pull down. Perhaps a multi cable pulley set up would be nice for some variety. But the basics for sure.

That’s awesome. We are building a house now...well that was until Mr Corona came along and now the builder has halted all operations for now. Anyway, when the house is built hopefully come end of summer I plan on having an area with Rogue rack and adjustable bench and Olympic set. If you think...

Lucky you. I will be doing it Rocky 4 style For the immediate future minus the mountain climbing in sub zero temps.

I keep it simple and fun for example today was: 200 plus Push ups 200 plus DB Squats holding 25lb each hand I superset these and start at 10 reps first round then 11 all way to 20 reps. DB Side Laterals with 25lb for 5 sets: started at 10 reps to 15 reps One arm OH Press: 35lbs 10-15reps Pull...

Great post. So much misinformation on training. I do want to say that the old adage of barbells and dumbells being the end all be all is not really true. Great they are And I love them, but you can use machines and cables to hypertrophy muscles just as effectively if you know what your doing and...

This is a body fat issue. Looks like your genetics predisposes you to hold fat in the nipple area. Not uncommon actually. Fat does not turn into muscle so doing things like declines or dips to so call ‘target’ lower chest is not accurate. The pectorals don’t work like that biomechanics wise. You...

What irks me is that the medscape article says it was dismissed by other infectious disease experts. Cmon, I wonder if these other experts are even open to it? Looks like their is some data. What you think guys? Is this bunk or the magic pill. Can’t be that easy can it?

Good luck Adam. Sounds like you are approaching your protocol in a sound manner overall. A lot of this still part science and part trial. Good thing we have forums like excel to share experiences. You will see no experience is exactly alike and we all have different stories and methods that may...

Thanks for the words! Here is my exact protocol as of right now. Testosterone Cypionate: I inject approx 0.3ml (60mg) Monday and Thursday morning. So total is about 120mg/week. I do shallow IM in the deltoids using a 28 gauge insulin syringe. Painless and simple. I got tired of IM in the...

I have to check but it was within the normal ranges for IVF. Reason we are doing IVF is strictly a personal choice. I am 44 she is 40 years old. She had a tubal ligation many years ago during her first marriage and last kid. We looked at possible tubal reversal and trying to conceive old school...

#8 I do 250iu / 25units HcG mon and thu. Been doing this for 2 years. Got a fertility test 2 weeks ago and I am fertile while in test cyp approx 130-150/ week. Trying to have a baby via IVF and I was kinda anxious wondering about my sperm count when the clinic ordered the test for my pre screen...
