    Less carbs equals less water retention

    Scientific studies confirm that reducing carbohydrate intake leads to significant decreases in water retention, primarily due to the way the body stores energy as glycogen. When carbohydrates are absorbed, they bind to water; 1g of glycogen (carbohydrate) binds to 3g of water. If you eat a diet...

    Minimum testosterone to get a growth advantage

    primo, I wouldn't use it. With HCT of 58% I would stop T for at least a week and just inject 10 mg daily until your HCT is good. You may want to find out if there's another reason why your HCT is so high. We do have lots of good threads on the subject.

    Minimum testosterone to get a growth advantage

    You didn't say what HCT is at. Anyways, I would reduce my testosterone to 100 mg a week, plus the HCG. It would probably be best to even lower it more. To lower my HCT I went to daily injections and now I inject 16 mg daily plus every third day I inject 500 IU of HCG. I haven't had to donate...

    Can I take 4 pills of 5mg tadalafil and expect the same effect as 20 mg tadalafil?

    Yes you can take four tablets of 5 mg of Cialis and get the same results as taking 20 mg of Cialis. Personally, I think Viagra does a better job. I buy my ED meds from India.

    Ancedotes of feeling better when taking time off injections.. Science behind this?

    When you stop injections, your testosterone and estrogen levels may drop at a different percent. The ratio between testosterone and estrogen might reach an optimal balance that makes you feel great, as neither hormone is excessively high or low.

    U-curve for men's belly fat and bone density

    anxiety can lead to bone loss in men This actually makes a lot of sense. Some men get anxiety from trt and when they are on a higher dose their anxiety goes up. Which of course would lead to bone loss. Not all men get anxiety from trt. Maybe that's why some men can use higher levels and some...

    TWICE PER WEEK TESTOSTERONE INJECTIONS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH GREATER RISK OF HIGH HEMATOCRIT
