    one month into weight start up

    Thanks, I tried the 8 reps with higher weights yesterday and for the first time in two weeks feel like I had a workout. Will do the lower half today along with a run. I am still doing Ab machines in high numbers and high weights. Is there a better way to do Abs?

    Thyroid, when to treat

    My doctor followed my T3/T4 levels for a few years before putting me on Levothyroxine. I don't feel any change, but I have dropped 20 pounds in the last two years. He checks me every 6 months to make sure things are in the normal ranges, said to be aware of A-fib. I have not seen any A-Fib in...

    Testosterone and immunity

    Testosterone and Friendship Formation

    I took the MB test years ago. I am an INTJ which is a type known for not being open to others. I fit the profile and did not see a change when on TRT. When I took the long form BM test is was work related and I was told the personality we developed would remain the same for our lifetime. I have...

    one month into weight start up

    The doctor gave me the Clomid when I was on Testopel. I switched to shots in Jan of this year. The Clomid provided a buffer when I hit the end of the Testopel cycle. I burned through the pellets fast. It also maintained my testicles size which on a vane side made me feel better. It has worked...

    one month into weight start up

    Thanks, No offence about the age, I am proud to have made it this far LOL. I will try the lower reps with higher weights. I have been adding sets and slowly adding weight. I do see muscle development, but have wondered why it was so slow. I took it to be age. I do 12 reps with four sets now. The...

    one month into weight start up

    I started back to the gym Jan 1, 2017, and have gone 6 days a week. I am now feeling some of the strength come back into my body. It is time to mix up the workout. I do machines now, been thinking about free weights. I tried them when I started, but was not strong enough to keep proper form so...

    Fish oil increasing cholesterol and suppress immune system??

    This is why I take fish oil. My triglycerides can run high, but my LDL and HDL are always off. Fish oil controls the triglycerides without Statins.

    Switching from Testopel pellets to Injections

    I did the switch in January 2017. I was getting 12 pellets every 3 months and liked the trouble free treatment. I still had swings at the end of the 3 months, and switched to Testosterone Cyp 200 in January. I take two injections a week (every 3.5 days) right now at .4 mls. I feel good, think it...

    Orgasms on Trimix

    I have been using Trimix for a month now. I am also on TRT and now keep my T levels in the 800 range. My dose of Trimix is .1 and the erection last close to an hour. The ejaculation is delayed, but in most cases falls within 20 to 25 mins. after intercourse starts. This is a bonus for me and my...

    Clomid & Testosterone: Why they don't work together - By Mike Gaiso

    I can ad my 2 cents worth of non medical advice. I am on Clomid, have been for 14 months now. Prior to Clomid at the end of the two week span between shots I would be in the 200 range. Without TRT I was below 100. I went on Testopel and 12.5 mg of clomid every day. Within two months my testicles...

    Ask The Urologist Anything (Dr Michael Rotman)

    Just curious. I take .8 ML of Testosterone Cyp 200 per week(.4 every 3.5 days). With a body weight of 220 how high would you expect mylevels to climb. I was on Testopel pellets till a few weeks ago, and would makeit into the 500 range with 12 pellets. Iwas hoping to push this up into the 800 to...

    Fish Oil and Hematocrit ?

    I use fish oil and have for ten years or more. I buy it at Costco and it is Hg (mercury) free, and not expensive. I still give blood, and my hemoglobin runs in the 16 to 17 range on days I give blood. I give double red to help keep it low. I started it to lower blood lipids. It seems to have...

    workouts with knee issues.

    I have a history of knee problems. Most from running and skiing, but some now from age. I will go a few days with little or no pain, than out of nowhere have it hurt on what I would call a 8 on a ten point scale. Yesterday and last night was one of those days. I walked less than two miles...

    Testosterone and Friendship Formation

    I was also very introverted as a young man, and like you have to assume my Testosterone levels were high. The low T period for me was in my 40's and if anything I became more introverted, but that could have been my work load. Now on TRT I think I may be a little less introverted than in my...

    Trimix Antidote-Treatment for Priaprism: PHENYLEPHRINE HCL INJECTION

    From what I read on "poppers" they are a Nitrite compound. What does the use of this for priapism have on blood pressure? I bought Sudafed and have not had to use it yet. For me after ejaculation I seem to relax within 15 mins. not sure if this is normal, or if I am just on the edge of the right...

    Testosterone and Friendship Formation

    It looks like they are trying to link hormone levels to the introvert/extrovert personality types. Looking back on my life I know as a teen I had high testosterone levels with all the physical traits that come with those high levels. In my 40,s I knew my levels were dropping and in my 50's I was...

    Blood Donation Question

    I found giving Plasma took 2 hours or more, but double reds take me less than an hour, whole blood about 30 min.. I think the Red Cross here makes me wait 90 days between doubles. Plasma donations carry more risk also. the release form is enough to make you want to run.

    Clomid & Testosterone: Why they don't work together - By Mike Gaiso

    I was on Testopel till this week, and what I call a cycle was three months. The pellets drop off fast toward the end of the 3 months. Prior to the pellets I was getting shots once per two weeks. The end of that 2 week cycle always tested low. Testicle size was small. I switched to Testopel to...

    Should I donate blood with these lab results?

    I give blood to the Red Cross every three months. Doubles will drop you a point or two if you are too high. The Red Cross in my area will not take blood if hemoglobin over 19. Most times mine is 17 so not a problem. It takes about 30 minutes, and doesn't hurt plus it helps someone else.

    Clomid & Testosterone: Why they don't work together - By Mike Gaiso

    This is interesting, I have been on TRT for several years, and on Clomid for a year now. What I did see within a month or two was the return of normal size testes. I also noted when my Testosterone cycle is at it end I still have some remaining T. Pre Clomid I did not and would be less than 100...

    How to stop testicles from shrinkage

    No I still take it. I am also on Testosterone pellets which I am switching to shots next week every 3.5 days as discussed on this site. Doctor agreed it was the best way to avoid swings. The boys are still normal size and I think will remain that way as long as I take the clomid. This is my view...

    How to stop testicles from shrinkage

    I have been on it a year, no problems with it. One note to be aware of is it increases your sperm count so if you are not wanting extra children take care. The rest of its history shows no other side effect. It was approved for women by FDA, and is off label for men.

    How to stop testicles from shrinkage

    My doctor prescribed Clomiphene Citrate, I take 25 mg a day. It returned my testicles back to normal and the low dose keep me from bottoming out at the end of a cycle. Once I was on it took several weeks before I saw a change in size, several months to return to normal size. I actually think the...

    Clomid vs hcg

    I have been on 25 mg a day for over a year. I am also on TRT and the CC seems to buffer the end of a cycle. It also kept my testicles from shrinking like they did prior to the CC.
