    What is a better starting dose 150 or 200mg?

    Erection quality issues

    And to clarify, I personally used enanthate sub q for about 2 years with great success. I’ve just recently switched to compounded cream and feel better than ever. But gotta give this cream quite a while longer before I can be sold on it long term

    Erection quality issues

    There are definitely are people whose levels drop dramatically when doing sub q over IM. The different carrier oil used for enanthate is just a theory some have thrown around for discussion. I don’t think anyone can argue that IM injections yield about 100% absorption, but some people greatly...

    Erection quality issues

    Are you on cyp or enan? I would use insulin needles sub q and shallow IM if I were you. Some people don’t absorb enanthate well sub q because of the oil base from what I’ve heard. Are you overall healthy? As I’m sure you know poor erection quality can be the result of underlying heart/health issues

    Anyone else obsessed with testosterone?

    I think the the current agenda to squash masculinity in many parts of the world will eventually drive testosterone levels down. Then you have generations of low testosterone “beta males” passing on weak genetics. This might take time to show up I’m not sure, but I feel like it is inevitable...

    EOD vs twice weekly Sustanon fluctuation could be the key

    What about combining say test cyp at 100 mg/wk (50mg X 2) and eod scrotal cream application (dose dependent on how well you absorb)? Would that provide what you’re referring to, or is the cream too fast acting? I appreciate your input, you seem like you have some experience running experiments...

    Anyone else obsessed with testosterone?

    I wonder what the average total testosterone would be of guys in maximum security prison? I’m a correctional officer and have pondered how much if at all living in a concrete jungle raises testosterone levels

    Pretty much everyone here overthinks hrt or we wouldn’t be here, me included. And most of us are on other forums as well

    Autoimmune Issues & TRT: Any Input Welcome

    You have to look into extended fasting, like up to a week or longer. Harvard did a study that showed just a 72 hour water fast essentially renewed the immune system via autophagy and stem cell production. Someone else mentioned the carnivore diet, that’s definitely worth a shot as well...

    When to take AI (timing of dose)

    Inject every other day and most likely will not need the ai, bigger doses in one shot aromatize to a greater degree. Remember, the fewer drugs the better, unless it is absolutely needed

    scrotal cream for high SHBG guys?

    Depends on your age mate, why would a 45 year old man do hcg monotherapy instead of just getting on trt?

    Please comment on my first TRT Protocol:

    If you’re legit 10% body fat, estrogen conversion is even less of an issue. Hate seeing guys get started on an ai, terrible medical practice. Even if estrogen comes back out of range, you likely won’t have any symptoms anyways

    spermatocele cyst

    If on scrotal cream, would the cyst hinder absorption of the cream at all? Another person mentioned having Fordyce spots on scrotum and asked if that would hinder absorption of the cream. I would assume not, but I’m also an idiot

    Why serum T levels aren’t affecting prostate pathology

    Dr Jordan Grant seems like a solid dude, super knowledgeable as well. I remember when Keith Nichols and Jim Meehan got into a heated debate over the dangers of elevated dht

    Injections and Scrotum Cream Protocol

    I’ve seen people talking about this on other groups quite a bit. Can be harder to dial in a protocol I’d imagine, but seems like a solid plan to me. 1.) totally depends how well you absorb the cream, one click of 200mg/ml cream puts some at >1500 ng/dl total t, others at 200. 2.) depends on...

    scrotal cream for high SHBG guys?

    Does the pharmacy matter much? I get mine from Empower and it doesn’t seem to absorb into the skin very well. I called Defy and they said it might just be the base of the cream, but they only offer one base

    Why Does Defy Medical Only Work with Two Pharmacies?

    Can’t argue with anything you said, just gotta play the game. Obviously not ideal, but I take what I can get.

    Why Does Defy Medical Only Work with Two Pharmacies?

    I’m a longtime lurker here on excelmale, I have learned so much on here, big fan of Nelson as well for all he has done for the “hrt community.” So I just became a patient at Defy Medical after switching from my local urologist who refused to allow me to dose above 100 mg weekly, even with free t...

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

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