    HCG best protocol: 500IU E3D or 250IU EoD?

    I do 250iu / 25units 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 since I’ve been on TRT for 2 years plus and at 44 years...

    Proper measuring question

    I use 28 gauge diabetic syringe 1/2 inch. Shallow IM in my delts. I find these easy to use and measure. Plus with the smaller pins you do not get as much waste in the shaft. There was this video I was watching and I was surprised how much transient test stays in the shaft of smaller gauge pins...

    2 Years on TRT: Update and my thoughts.

    Correct. I do 25 units of HcG mon and thurs. Been doing that for two years and this is the first sperm test I got and it came back good thru the fertility clinic. My TRT clinic told me they see good results at just 250iu once a week.

    2 Years on TRT: Update and my thoughts.

    Yes. I must admit. Going into this 2 years ago I was like, “200mg, sure I’ll take it , AI, sure I’ll take it , HcG, count me in “ You learn a lot when getting into this process and sites like this have become very helpful. Lots of good stuff on Youtube as well, just need to be mindful of the BS...

    2 Years on TRT: Update and my thoughts.

    Hi. SHBG was not part of blood work write up. Considering that my total and free test is slightly above the reference range my assumption is my SHBG is likely normal. Again, just an assumption but since my other levels are where they are at and I feel great, I am not worried about SHBG at this...

    2 Years on TRT: Update and my thoughts.

    Summary for those interested: - At 42 decided to randomly get my T levels checked. Labs results were in the 230’s, so pretty low. I’ll be honest that I really didn’t exhibit any major low T issues that drove me to check. I was just plain interested as I always worked out and was wondering about...

    Bacteriostatic Water for HcG mixing.

    Edit: I did some researching and it sounds like you want to discard after 30 days of opening. So I just went ahead and ordered another vial of water for cheap. I’ll keep this thread up

    Bacteriostatic Water for HcG mixing.

    Hey gang. Quick question. Is the recommendation that any leftover bacteriostatic water be discarded? The kit that I got recently got has two vials of hCG powder but only one vial of bacteriostatic water (multi use 30ml) Typically I would just reconstitute one HcG vial at a time with the 5ml of...

    How normal people get their protein macro?

    Curious how much of the other foods you mentioned you eat. The chicken breast 2x will be approx 100 grams of protein total. You must be eating a shit ton of egg whites as 1 cup is like 25 grams of protein and 1 cup of cottage cheese is like 25 grams. other foods sardines and peanut butter are...

    Micro Dosing Testosterone ? kinda

    My routine for the last 2 years has been test cyp injections every Monday and Thursday. About a month ago I stopped doing Glute IM pins and trying out shallow IM in the Delts twice weekly. Just easier to administer and love using 28 gauge 1/2” insulin pin. My dose is approx 60mg Monday and 60...

    ECA Stack to Lose Fat

    BUMP: Was thinking of trying as close a stack as possible to the old school ECA stack. The C and the A are easy to get. It is the Ephedrine as that has been banned for many moons. I know there were some herbals like Ma haung shout out to the original TwinLab Ripped Fuel one of the best supps...

    56% increase is testosterone using a testosterone booster: Say What?

    Was in the youtube wormhole watching videos and this video got tagged for me to watch. Guy is claiming a 56% increase in total T in 30 days. 587 to 918 using a Test Booster you can buy from Amazon. Is there something fishy going on here?

    Any tips on testosterone leakage from stopper?

    Thanks Vince. Yeah was thinking of changing up the gauge. Clinics provides the 23g. May have to ask them to see if they can adjust. Well I am changing clinics in a few weeks. So I’ll ask them

    Any tips on testosterone leakage from stopper?

    When I draw the test dosage using a 23g pin and remove the pin there seems to be a nice size droplet of medication that makes its way out. I Seems like such a waste. My steps are: 1. Draw back the plunger to get air just a bit pass the .5ml. I do about 75mg test each shot. 2. I then insert into...

    Looking for an effective 4-day push & pull workout routine

    You’ll be fine doing upper after legs. You’ll be getting plenty of rest on the off days and if your nutrition and sleep is decent I would not worry about all the CNS stuff. You really have beat the shit out of yourself to tax your CNS to the point where it affects your recovery.

    Hi there. No need to overthink or get a book. A great program to meet your news could be a upper body push pull legs. You’ll get enough frequency and volume and it meets your four day requirement very well. Basically on workout A you would do upper body push movements and lower body push...

    No muscles soreness after working out ?

    Actually one of the most noticeable things when I started TRT was that I was able to recover faster and I was hardly ever sore anymore. Workouts have always been very similar. Which makes sense as this is one of the many training related benefits of TRT. But as most should know there are many...

    Thinking of stopping my AI. Thoughts.

    Hey gang. Had my consult and recommdations. As expected an no surprise they want me back on the arimidex 0.5mg 3 days per week. No changes to my test dose so still going with 200/mg/week total. Though Like I said in previous post, I am doing 150mg/week total. Regarding RBC , no changes at this...

    Thinking of stopping my AI. Thoughts.

    Thanks Madman for the detailed post. To answer your ?s. These labs were based off my current usuage of about 150mg total per week divided into Monday and Thursday IM shots.

    Thinking of stopping my AI. Thoughts.

    I believe a lot of this is truly genetic. I remember as a kinda husky kid having puffy nips. I got rid of the chub by high school and been in decent shape ever since (43 now going on 44 in July) I am about 200 lbs at 5’8 body fat prob in that 15-20% range.. I have a “blurry” 6 pack that is...

    Thinking of stopping my AI. Thoughts.

    Hi. Just nips a little more puffier. Everything else pretty much the same overall. Feel fine otherwise. Felt fine when on arimidex too. Ohh. My last IM injection was on a Thursday and my labs were on the following Monday.

    Thinking of stopping my AI. Thoughts.

    Alright guys. Labs are in. As promised I said I would report on my next set of labs since stopping my Arimidex. As you can imagine I was very curious to see where I would end up especially with all the discussion back-and-forth. Here are some numbers: estradiol = 72. I was normal range last...

    TRT faster recovery?

    Been on TRT now since Feb 2018. When people ask what I’ve noticed the most since I’ve been on it has been 1) Much improved recovery. I literally do not get DOMS anymore and if I do it goes away fast. 2) Recompostion. Same body weight but significantly leaner and more vascular. I would say those...

    Can I feel anything from doing one testosterone injection?

    Agreed. Be cautious with this Dr. There is nothing magical out there naturally. I mean as you stated , he said it won’t be nearly as good as TRT so what’s the point. You might end up spending more time and money working with this doctor on these supposed natural methods than just doing your...

    Can I feel anything from doing one testosterone injection?

    I am curious if you know what your doctors plan to do to increase it naturally? I would like to hear from others on this board as well Because to my knowledge, increasing T naturally to any significant or meaningful measure would not likely occur if you already have very low T, especially if...

    Las Vegas Doctors with TRT knowledge?

    Agreed. Initially I went to my personal family doctors and all of them didn’t really want / seem to explore the topic more with me. So I just did my research and found a solid clinic and doc. Yes, out of pocket but worth it. Don’t get your health plans involved, too much redtape and likely...
